"FIND YOUR CENTER AND YOU WILL BE HEALED" (Taoist Proverb). Soul speaks through images and, thanks to them, the Center in our lives can be visually manifested in its imaginal plurality. The task of discovering those images and holding them firmly in our minds can be facilitated by our nightly dreams. Those individuals who have cherished, embraced, and meditated, for many years, on the poetry of dreaming can attest to the healing properties of the dream images that emanate from the Center. Who would have ever thought that the most challenging psychological afflictions of the present era, such as depression, anxiety, and meaninglessness, could be healed by the images that come from the Center in our lives!
https://newcasinoplay.com happened to be open in another tab while I was reading this, and it struck me how much the idea of a steady center overlaps with staying grounded when odds and outcomes are always shifting. The line about dreams being a way to hold onto images of that center really resonated, since I've noticed my own anxiety eases when I write down a recurring dream instead of letting it dissolve by morning. It makes me wonder whether the images need years of attention before they start doing that work, or if even a few weeks can shift something.
