This article is a brief description of the spiritual path that I am walking upon.



I think for any path to be feasible there must be certain ways of
increasing our understandings and realisations. In my case, I was
taught how to interpret dream and meditation symbols. The key main
components of my path are :



1. Meditation

2. Dreams and vision interpretation.



Many other modalities, act as secondary supports along the journey. But
the crux of the path essentially lies in consistent meditation and
dream/vision interpretations. It is perhaps possible not to meditate,
provided we remain sensitive to incoming-intuitions and other means of
receiving insights and self-discoveries. Pendulum reading does play a
part in filling some of the roles performed by meditational vision
interpretation, but it is certainly not as flexible. This is because
the readings that we get from pendulums are limited by the type of
charts we use. In another word, visions can have infinite variations,
whereas pendulum charts can only give us answers within their range of
options.



Additionally, Reiki attunements helped in increasing my sensitivity to energies.



I simply cannot emphasize more on the role dream/vision interpretation
plays in self-growth acceleration. It is very effective in deepening
our understandings and in transforming ourselves. Prior to knowing how
to interpret dreams, progress was slow for me. Dream interpretation
significantly opened up new ways of receiving detailed information
essential for my continued self-growth.



I don't think there are any hard and fast rules to self-discovery.
Living Life itself is the path. However, I do believe in practice and
consistency, if we were to achieve any desirable results.



I have been a meditator for many years... It was about 5-6 years ago
that I discovered that I am at times receiving visions/images/insights
in my mind that educated me about certain things. Often these visions
revealed only what was understandable by me at any given moment of my
journey. It was at this beginning stage of vision-receiving, that I met
a highly Enlightened Teacher who taught me the current method that
included dream interpretation. I am truly grateful to that Teacher.



Along my path, there were at times, what appeared to be past-lives
feelings surfacing onto my conscious mind. These feelings were mostly
traumatic, but realising them allowed me to understand the reason of my
present life fears. Because of the potentially shocking and at times
unpleasant experiences of past-life emotional re-living, I strongly
feel that only one who is focused on progressing spiritually attempt to
uncover past life experiences. Past life uncovering must be treated
with respect.



Well, this is my system of practice in a nutshell. As you can see, the
path is quite flexible in the sense that it is fully integrated into my
life experiences and it does not really present itself as a separate
endeavour. Also, each individual path will be unique and different from
others. This is mainly because, each one of us, have different issues
and areas that needed addressing.



I recognise that many different types of path can lead to similarly
desirable results. Perhaps, the external expressions of different paths
often belies similar dynamics under the differing facade.
