Egyptian hieroglyphic writing is made of signs and symbols working together. Each image may be interpreted on several different planes simultaneously, for example it may signify sound, or attribute of the image, or the image itself. Just as in a dream, combing over each image meaning unfolds through implication and a chain of association. Robert Moss has said the symbol “brings together what we know with what we don’t yet know.
In this two hour workshop, we’ll bring together different ways of approaching and knowing the meaning of Egyptian symbols so that we can use them as hieroglyphic signposts for interpretation. The oracles of ancient Egypt were most commonly seen in dream states, and we will explore any dreams that we may have been given with ancient Egyptian themes to unfold its meaning.

You had an insight--an epiphany, and you even wrote it down, but now what did it say exactly and what should you do with it?
Keeping a record of insights, experiences, ceremonies and results is an important part of your spiritual practice, but only if you can find it again. Returning to and building on your insights and ideas is even more important. This class explores ways to keep your metaphysical journal and to find an develop your work.
Journals are one of the most useful tools in spiritual development. Writing down events, ideas and progressive achievement can help to better one’s skills and understanding. We cannot remember everything all the time. Our journals keep track of our goals and aspirations while simultaneously serving to bring them to life.
Observation of the synchronicities and patterns of our lives reveal how spirit works with us. Certain tools work better than others for the individual metaphysician. Keeping track of how well these work is important in building and attaining life-progression.
