Falling Snow

What is for us in this case the water? New space of experience, different medium. Step by step, learning the process of interaction, we adapt to new circumstances and feelings. When we do not know how to swim is important for us support – bottom. And just to be losing support, get a brand new area of experience and sense of self, we are frightened and begin to panic. Scary pictures and images can fill our imaginations, we can even really feel that we have something pulling at the bottom. Others who may share this opinion include Ron Beit. But when all is well over, after a while, we realize that much of what happened was an illusion of our mind.

With something like we may encounter in the practice of Dreams. Ron Beits opinions are not widely known. There are three fundamentally different phenomena, which can be confused because of their similarity in the manifestation, especially in the beginning. The first phenomenon, apparently, no one can be attributed to a protected mechanism of our body, the second – to treat the area where the cause of our images is the emotional chaos and fear. The third phenomenon relates to the Dreaming, the which the images have their cause and role, ie – Are a natural part of the process. So, what can these images. This is usually expressed as a feeling of another presence, a fixed shade, shadow that moves on periphery of the visual field, a figure that is constantly running away on the edge of the visual field, or, conversely, tries out for him to look out, the image (usually creepy), which appears at the edge of the visual field, often trying to look into eyes or speak, shape or image that appears near the center of the field of view, the behavior ranging from indifference, to outright violent, more.

Details appearance, behavior, etc., may be different – from bizarre and funny to openly intimidating. Apparently, it depends largely on our expectations and perceptions. Often, these images appear at a time when we are in the borderline and / or can not completely separate from the body. It may also occur at a time when we are in the so-called 'sleep paralysis'. By the way, the latter may give rise to doubts about the mental health, because many people, getting into a state of sleep paralysis in earnest begin to question their normality or even spend years in fear of dying or losing heart. Do not be afraid, everything is in order – is a natural phenomenon. For each type of phenomenon has its own ways to eliminate these unwanted symptoms. But this need to talk in more detail. However, the main practical advice – do not panic and do not engage in these images. I would like to conclude by saying the main character animated film 'Under cover of night, 'Tim,' If I do not fear – shadow will disappear! " Falling Snow, Lucid dreaming

Basic Assumptions

Very often, our mood and idea of the world depends on the so-called automatic thoughts. Automatic thoughts (AM) is thought to arise in the mind without our planning and intentions. Often we are not even aware of our automatic thoughts. Make a conscious automatic thoughts – I believe – a great achievement for a man. But whence come these ideas? After all, to make them aware you need to understand the cause and source of these thoughts … 'Roots' AM are much deeper – it's basic assumptions (AI), and deeper, fundamental beliefs. If the AM we can still recognize a certain phrase, the assumptions are not so obvious. Sometimes one can only speculate about them based on our behavior.

For example, IP insecure man: "If someone is acquainted with me closer, he realizes how bad I am a person starts I despise and reject. " PIs act as 'rules' governing our daily activities and our expectations. But a deeper level of representation – the fundamental beliefs (FU). Fundamental beliefs that general, unambiguous and absolute statements about himself, others and the world at large. In the same number of FU insecure person may include the following: "I am worthless ',' People are a threat ',' Everyone is trying to hurt me." All these representations are common, unambiguous, they are unconditional. The man does not think: 'Sometimes people are dangerous', he thinks: 'Humans are dangerous' – absolutely and unconditionally. One of my FU past, when I arrived in Israel and the 'taste' reality life was, 'All marokantsy stupid and rude', 'Dark hate whites. " Therefore, seeing in the rearview mirror in the car marokantsa, I subconsciously expect that he is about to start beeping and shouting that I should go back to Russia which is certainly a loss for words that I say this 'rude':) Automatic thoughts escalate the situation, and when he finally overtook me, I could see only a young man with anger poluperekoshennym face:) Location taken assumptions and basic beliefs? They are mostly formed in childhood. Or, as it was in my example above, in consequence of changing the world, where everything was new and I took it to new a negative context. So to me, Israel was at first seems very negative, with a mass of people who hate each other:) Since the fundamental beliefs from childhood to help us make sense of what is happening around us, we never think about in order to test their applicability and reality of adulthood. As adults, we continue to act, think and feel as if our fundamental ideas – is a wholly true: (

The Abyss

This property connects Sefira with Libra and, among other things, Daath sometimes identified with the two-faced Janus, the god of doorways. Of the colors corresponds to Daath transparent or gray, because the color is very discreet, he is lost among the rest. There is a belief that one can not stand "in the doorway," the threshold did not pass, all the echoes of the human fear of the unknown, which is beyond Daath as the portal to infinity. Daath – the balance point between Chokmah and Binah, the left and right hemispheres of the brain. In this as Daath is the cerebellum.

The Aztecs considered magical cerebellum area, the concentration on the base of the skull allowed Aztec magicians travel on a fiery cave Chikamostoka, quite comparable to the tunnel Seta, Kenneth Grant. Travel on these caves began to dream and here it is worth noting that Drimhakery found in their study of sleep a funnel located in the northwest of Dreams cards. This education could transported to the deep plane of the second attention and report the state of gnosis. Parallel suggests itself, Grant said that Daath strangely associated with Yesod Sefira-dreams, body experiences and trance, "The Abyss of Daath and very in tune, because the Abyss is a limit to what can be 'apprehended' under it, and Daath is the funnel, into which we fall into when trying to explore beyond.
