The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | NOVEMBER 1933

I became disgusted and was going to leave, when it occurred to me that someone might fall into the water and there would be no one to save them from drowning.

Finally I started to climb back up the palisades alone, and had gone only a short distance when I heard some cries and looking back saw that one had fallen into the water and was going down, but that all the others stood there horrified with no effort made to save him. I plunged into the water, pulled him out and set him on the shore. There the dream ended.

In your dream the deep blue water symbolized the realm of consciousness where all is beauty, goodness and truth. But one has to enter that realm in order to find these things and to be able to “swim” among them, in order to get any benefit from them. Fish represent the truths there found, and gold fish the higher truths. Your Higher Self was constantly urging you to seek these truths but to put them to the use intended, but evidently in the class of which you were a member, the leader did not understand the inner meaning of the truths he was teaching and so could not inspire or help the members to perceive it. The member who had been dabbling in psychism had indeed fallen into the water, but not understanding these truths and the law of their use, he would have been “drowned,” if you had not helped him out.

It would seem that you are to help this man and lift him out of the psychic realm in which he has fallen, by explaining to him the danger of venturing where he knows nothing about the law and life of the soul. We urge that you call together the truly in earnest ones and have them meet with you at your home, where you can then help them to understand and make true use of the teachings you are receiving, thus fulfilling the purpose of the dream experience.
