My Source of Inspiration

I had a dream of and about the Heart 

   Once upon a time a girl finds herself contemplating the beauty of a Hopi 
vessel she owns and is holding in her hands.  
Suddenly, the vessel is overcome by the pressure of increasingly high heat.
As the temperature rises, the vessel 
laying in her hands begins to spin more and more rapidly. 
The girl  is fascinated watching this happening. The faster the vessel spins, the more it 
expands until in a moment,
 it explodes into a thousand pieces!

 As the explosion takes place, the girl becomes the
  vessel, and it is her body that then begins to spin around.  
Each time she completes a full circle, she sees buildings of ancient civilizations with high columns
 and statues of gods and goddesses everywhere.  Just as she sees it all in its full magnificence,
 she then sees it crumbling. 
She sees one, two and more civilizations at their peak of their development
and, at their end, in ruins. 
 
At one point her body dead stops.  Then it goes in straight direction toward a marbled building.
The girl begins to fear crashing against the white columns she sees in front of her.  
As she gets closer, she begins to identify a human body sculpted in the marble.  
She sees it is an ancient woman with white hair streaming down to her waist.
She is beautiful and she has a grave look on her face.   
 
Just as the girl is about to crash into her, she remembers she is carrying a heart in her left hand.
 At about the same time, she sees that the woman has a sculpted heart in her chest.  
Instinctively, she extends her arm and lays the heart she has in her hand over the woman's heart. 
When she does this, the woman becomes alive, 
happy and radiating magnificent and beautiful light.  
  
Then mind and body awaken,
 knowing the presence of the mother eternal wisdom
 and her message saying, 
 "that all is well –that there is light once the heart is recognized."

Author's Interpretation

The vessel is the earth and all that exists within it.
Intense pressure causes the eternal in the collective memory to resurface helping the mind
to remember what it knows about what is essential for human life.

Humanity's discernment and integration of such information brings about the importance of considering the values and qualities of the heart along with those of the mind and body.  
This step is crucial in the definition and design of the path humanity is to follow in its next evolutionary step all of which is created and nurtured through an education process.

That the image the child sees is that of a woman represents the rising of the feminine in human nature that arises to balance humanity's masculine nature. 
The child is the voice of the children which must be heard by all while designing an education process.

    "The various faculties of memory, judgement, 
    imagination, perception, reasoning,  which build the edifice of the thought and knowledge for the knower, must not only be equipped with their fit and sufficient tools and materials, but trained to bring fresh materials and use more skillfully those of which they are in possession."
