Jeremy Taylor, Guest Waking Times
Whenever any dream is remembered, it is an indication that the waking
mind has a creative, transformative role to play in the evolution of
whatever issue the dream is presenting. For millions of years, the
ability to pay immediate and focused attention to nasty, threatening
stuff has been a primary survival test. The creatures who pay effective
attention to threats tend to survive, and the ones who don’t tend not to
survive. In this way, we have been shaped by natural selection to be
inherently predisposed to pay attention to ugly, scary, and menacing
experiences.
Why Nightmares Are Good
As a consequence, when the deep source within (from which all dreams
spring, spontaneously and unbidden) has potentially important
information to convey to the waking consciousness, it is very likely to
dress that material up in the form of a “nightmare,” simply to get our
attention. This leads to one of the most ironic general principles of
dream work: the more horrifying and distressing the dream experience,
the greater the potential gift of increased understanding and creative
energy the dream has to offer.
We usually call such dreams “nightmares.” The generic message of any
nightmare is: Wake up. Pay attention. There is a survival issue being
brought to your attention here! Sometimes the “survival issues” raised
by nightmares are related to actual physical health. Most often,
however, the nightmare is trying to draw attention to questions of emotional and spiritual authenticity in the dreamer’s life.
Why We Remember Nightmares
In my experience, all dreams (and particularly nightmares) come in
the service of health and wholeness. This means that no dream, no matter
how distressing or menacing, ever came to anyone to say, “Nyah, nyah,
you’ve got these problems and you can’t do anything about them!” The
very fact that a dream is remembered in the first place means that the
dreamer actually has at his or her disposal all the courage, creativity,
strength, and wisdom necessary to respond creatively and
transformatively to even the worst “problem” that the dream presents.
(If the dreamer were not in possession of all the energies required for
positive, creative, transformative response, the dream would simply not
be remembered.) This is true not only at the level of individual,
psychospiritual health and wholeness, but at the level of world society,
culture, and collective human struggle as well.
Ironically, for this reason I take heart every time I have (or hear
about) a dream that involves large, planet-wide problems like
destruction of the environment, plague, military conflict, or other
massive disruption of society. The fact that we remember such dreams
suggests that we are able to respond creatively and effectively to these
problems, in the same fashion that dreams addressing seemingly
“insoluble” personal problems always indicate our ability to deal with
those problems. Nightmares may also provide symbolic suggestions and
specific creative inspirations, provided we have the wit and wisdom to
pay attention.
Historical Nightmares
However, in some cases the specific creative possibilities proposed
by the dream are even more challenging than our immediate experience of
the problems themselves. Among these challenging dreams are the really
terrible nightmares I call “worst case dreams.” Hindu and Buddhist dream
workers have understood for centuries that these worst case dreams are
deeply associated with the dreamer’s effective spiritual development.
It is interesting to note that John Newton, the composer of the hymn
“Amazing Grace,” was converted to Christianity and transformed into an
ardent antislavery activist by just such a nightmare: He dreamed of
seeing “all of Europe consumed in a great raging fire” while he was the
captain of a slave ship.
Dreams and Spiritual Development
One reason why such distressing dream experiences
regularly come to people who are deeply engaged in their own spiritual
development, or those working in the world to relieve the sufferings of
others, is that the only place where evil can truly be faced and
overcome is within. This means that people who are sincerely engaged in
trying to make the world a better place must face and overcome this
order of evil if they are to succeed. The more sincere and effective
one’s spiritual development and one’s reconciling work in the world, the
more likely it is that one will have worst case dreams of this
archetypal order.
In that sense, the worst case dreams are little “training films” for
the spiritual warrior. Another way of looking at such dreams is that
they are “rescue missions” undertaken by the dreaming psyche in the
as-yet-unredeemed depths of the archetypal Shadow and the Inchoate
Potential in the collective unconscious.
The Magic Mirror that Never Lies
Initially, it always seems as though the most difficult task faced by
the dreamer is to look into the “magic mirror that never lies” and take
more responsibility for the symbolic reflections of our weaknesses and
failures. However, over time, it becomes clear that an even more
challenging task is to acknowledge the size and scope of our creative
gifts and our ability to transform ourselves and our world. The worst
case dream calls upon the dreamer not only to see and accept the depths
of depravity that reside in every human psyche, but even more
importantly, to become more conscious of and responsible for our ability
to face, overcome, and give transformative, creative, and spiritual
expression to those archetypal shadow energies.

Who plays the
lottery?? I dreamed these numbers, 235 & 306.. If these numbers have a
vibration you can win with, by all means use them. I trust these are good
numbers cause I seldom see numbers clearly in my dreams. They usually fade out,
garbled up, or something weird. I think it's my waking frustration with my
dyslexia that finds its way into my dreams, but I digress. I think these
numbers must be worth a lottery try!! An no, I can't use them, it don't work
like that for me
Okay, so I guess by
now, you all know I am a Psychic and I do Psychic readings. Some folks ask,
well if you are, then why don't you hit the lottery and get rich??
Unfortunately, it just don't work that way. If it did, we would become
materialistic and lose all our psychic powers. Well, not exactly, but it sure
would be a lot more difficult to be in touch with the spirit world if you are
surrounded by material things that you used the spirit world to acquire. The
worlds don't counter each other, they just should be in balance. And since we
are made of flesh, sometimes, having the power to guess the next lottery number
with great success, could lead to becoming a rather arrogant person filled with
a lot of hubris.
So, no most times,
we cannot predict our own troubles. In fact, we don't often see the death of
loved ones in our family while we may see the death of one in someone else's
family.
We are here to help
others navigate through their lives. When we need help we learn how to go
within, quiet our minds and from time to time, seek out another psychic. It has
to do with our personal emotions. You know, those things that go bump in the
night. If we are too emotionally tied to the answer, it acts as a block rather
than an open door. But when it comes to others, we often can see their emotions
and sometimes see ours mirrored in theirs.
Some of us are
empaths, others are telepaths, some are clairvoyant, time travelers, remote
viewers, heck they use all kinds of names to describe our paranormal abilities.
In fact, we have been called "possessed." I laugh at that one,
because it is merely having the ability to see the unseen. And in that vein, if
we are possessed so is everyone, cause we all breath unseen air!! We merely are
using our intuition ability.
The paranormal is
just another name for "it" as well. Some of us use different
"tools" to make the connection. It varies from person to person just
like any talent would vary. I am a firm believer that every single person in
the whole world has access to their intuition. How we develop it as we grow
older depends on the influences we experience while growing through our life
experiences.
For me, I see
things, scenes, like dreams, they come quickly sometimes, other times they may
not. Sometimes it comes as a feeling, or sensation, I hear stuff, and move
through experiences when I do a reading for someone.
I use 12 cowrie
shells, they sorta help me ground myself, while I have also used other stuff
too. The cowries help me a lot because they seem to open me up and let me
travel.
Psychic readers have
been called a mind readers. But I would say that it's more of an ability to
read Energy. As we travel through our life experiences we pick up stuff along
the way. Some of us don't know that we are doing it.. But we are… A Psychic Reader
can "pick" it up and bring it out of the unseen world and give it a
picture. Sometimes, folks get a reading and they want it to tell them the
future. Some readers may move in that directions… I prefer to look at possible
outcomes based on choices. Predictions seldom come true exactly as they are
predicted because of the many variable possibilities and probabilities that can
happen. I would not trust anyone who is perfectly certain that a particular
thing is gonna happen in a certain way.
Some years ago, I
got a reading that said I would have a van. At the time, I really needed a car,
but hey, had no idea where that would come from. It took several years to
manifest.
This same reading
told me that I would be doing some writing, spiritual writing as it were.. And
I was like, yeah, right, when will that happen???? But, again, several years
later, and I do mean several years later I am writing.
Some may say it was
the power of suggestion. I believe there is nothing new under the sun, and my
reader just happened to see that time line at that point in my life when I was
seeking a reading from him.
Each reading is different. I allow Spirit to guide me, so I often ask folks that if they talk about their readings to another person, just let them know that it is very personal, and very related to them and their situation.
I follow a strict law of confidentiality. Your reading is safe with me. I am invested in my integrity in the work that I do, and anyone who gets a reading from me can feel safe that their reading will not be posted on Facebook. LOL.
Follow-up readings are welcomed, but after a reading is done, it is best to let that marinate for a bit, and check in later on, maybe in another month or 2. However if we don't get to all the pressing questions at our first meeting, I am willing to set another one, shortly after. The readings usually last about 1.5 hours so there is a possibility that some things won't be covered. Typically folks who come to me, have lived quite a full life so there are always things that may come up that may take some time to explore.
I will be blogging more and more, so feel free to post your questions and I will answer them as soon as I am able.
Readings
can be done via, Skype, Oovo, Google Hangout, Yahoo video chat, etc. That way
where we are located won’t interfere with getting the reading. After we
determine which chat process we want to use, then we need to make sure we are
in each other’s friends list so everything can go smoothly when we finally
meet.
I
ask folks to get me two questions before the reading. Then, I will do the
consulting with the Oracle ahead of time, so as to say on the actual reading
time. Typically, one question requires a series of inquiries that may take
another 10 0r 15 minutes to complete. Sometimes, I may have to contact you
again to help restructure the question so we can get the best answer. With the
I Ching, the way you ask the question makes all the difference in the answer
you receive.
I
ask for a love offering of $50 for a reading that lasts about 1.5 hours. I
ask folks to pay via PayPal (nanabaakan@voicesofafrica.net) in advance of our
reading. If you don't have PayPal I can send you an invoice which can be paid
with a credit card. Or if you wish you can mail it to me.
Then we set up an appointment for the reading to take place.
After
the reading is over, I will send you a copy of your reading via a download link
for your reference in the future.

I Ching Workshops
The I Ching (Yi Jing) is an amazing oracular system developed in Ancient China more than 5,000 years ago. It continues to have relevance up until this day. Its philosophy is its name; that is “The Book of Changes.” This oracle is the “pocket psychologist.” It is designed to teach anyone how to move with the rhythm of life as it ebbs and flows. It was first developed by an intensely Spiritual Man by the name of Fu Shi who's ethnicity harkens back to according to some Africa in some reports... In fact, there is a strong correlation between the I Ching and the Ifa system of Nigeria, West Africa.
Fu Shi, having spent some time studying the markings on a tortoise shell was inspired to develop a system that would help humanity understand the every day changes as well as the celestial changes in the Universe. He started with just two lines, then three, called trigrams and develop these trigrams in reflections of the elements around him. wood, Earth, metal, water, fire. From there came the repeating cycles productive, destructive, controlling and dissolving. Of course as with all Ancient Texts, changes, editions and subtractions have been made, especially in translating it from the Ancient Mandarin.
All in all it comes to us, and, from much experience it has given me, it shows to be one of the best systems around.
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Facilitator: Nana Baakan will facilitate these I Ching Workshops. I have been using this system without fail for over 30 years. It has guided me through some trying and joyful times. It has given me a stronger ability to intuit and helped me to relinquish my dependence upon it. Over time, one becomes so in tune, that they can "forecast" the hexagrams that may come up in a reading, providing confirmation for each life situation that it is consulted on.
Participants: All are welcomed. We need at least 6 commitments before we can start a workshop.
Coordinator: Will be ask to volunteer in return for their sessions being free.
Duties of Coordinator: Keep contact information for of all attendees.
Be the contact person between attendees and Nana Baakan
Keep attendance records.
Send out reminders for each workshop 3 days in advance.
Feel free to contact Nana directly with any of the questions you need to.
Description: This workshop will give you firsthand knowledge about the use of this oracle for your personal and spiritual development. It will
be a beginners course, of 6 sessions, for starters. If folks wish to continue
on after the first 6 sessions that will be great too.
Cyber Workshop: Everyone should have Gmail account! That way we can all get on Google hang-out. The can also get the Google Hang-out app on their phone. I am not too sure if Apple phones have the app for Google hang-out though. We need to look into that. Either way we will have folks on the phone or on the internet. Skype or Ovoo is another option, since they do have group chat. I prefer Google Hangout cause you can record it.
Web Camera: Everyone needs to have a web camera on their phone or on their computer. We
really need video, so folks can see what I am writing on the board. You can try eBay or amazon.com for a web cam, if not, then you can always go to someone’s house for the video chat if they have a video camera on their computer.
Durations: I would
like to do 6 sessions, each for 1.5 hours once a week or whenever we schedule
them.
Hour
one would be for instructions
30
minutes for questions and answers.
Love Offering: I will
ask for a small love offering from each one in attendance. $120 for 6 sessions,
or $100 if a person pays for all 6 sessions in advance.
Everyone
must pay for at least two sessions in advance or $40 before the first session
begins.
Love Offering can be sent via Paypal,(nanabaakan@voicesofafrica.net) If you do not have Paypal, and invoice can be sent that can be paid with a credit card.
Read as many books as you can find on Amazon.com on the I Ching and use this oracle as your pocket guide to a more fruitful, spiritual and effective life. Namaste
