Psychology notes the importance of adapting heroic narratives to our personal life to derive purpose and meaning. To create meaning and purpose in our life it is necessary to venture into the unconscious mind.
What if we can apply the same methodology to dream-analysis, and elevate our personal growth beyond the limits of perception?
Perception is a vehicle from which we observe space-time unfold, but cultural conditioning, personal complexes & technology can mediate or abridge direct engagement with reality.
The delineated limits of consensus reality serve to entrain the mind into conformity, convenience and arbitrary categories. Venturing beyond these self-imposed limitations is a hero's journey down a mind-maze fraught with contradictions, puzzles and self-discovery.
Our mind retains information that escapes their conscious expression. The symbolic patterns that lie beyond the limits of waking consciousness are a catalyst for intuitive knowledge to develop.
Intuition is implicit knowledge which is a "direct perception of truth or fact, independent of any reasoning." To elevate our intuitive knowingness we must explore & experiment with subjective reality with a conscientious approach.
This powerful tool leads you into the unconscious; it uncovers the hidden feelings and memories in the mind while minimizing potential risks. Be mindful of its power by treating this plant with respect, and not as a vehicle for escapism.
Though one can experience more intense experiences with psychedelics the allure of Blue Lotus is exploring an untapped psychic biofield while minimizing potential risks.
In waking life, Nelumbo nucifera produces a euphoric & sedative effect when it is prepared as a tea, smoked or ingested by using tinctures. One can simply soaked the sacred lotus in red wine for a few hours to experience its full sedative effects.
To embrace this adventure in earnest I suggest journaling your experiences in a simple way; noting the mood, the context, contradictions and dates. The objective is to train our mind to retain non-linear memories by integrating contradictions with a satisfying & holistic personal narrative.
The conscientious use of Blue Lotus also prepares the mind to discover the hidden dimensions of the psyche. Our dreams are replete with symbolic language which oftentimes elude conscious interpretation, and forgetting them can deprive us of crucial personal development.
Blue Lotus produces cohesive & unique dreams that leave a lasting impression; in essence it helps us to decode cryptic dreams by translating them into conscious memory. Once we've uncovered the hidden language of our subjective reality we are tasked with contextualizing the information.
As we delve deeper into our dreams we learn to bridge the puzzling messages in our dreams and integrate their mystical lessons and add authentic meaning to our life.
