The Mandala and The Teacher


As I dreamt in the early hours of this morning, I saw many things in the realm of night visions and astral travel. I happened to enter a place very much like a large Aikido dojo. However, this place, was for what must be some form of Yoga instruction. Had it been Kundalini, the instructor would have been more than likely dressed in white. She, the instructor was not dressed in white, but she had the vibration of a Kundalini instructor and I was familiar with her, and the class I must have attended it before. I brought with me a huge soft blanket, but stronger than a normal sheet or blanket. It may have been woven, I'm not sure where I got it from, this was not reavealed to me in the dream. I would compare it to a painters tarp. It could literally blanket the room. It was also round and had all the markings of a "Mandala".(See image above) I began opening it up so I could share it with the entire class, so that they could all sit on it for whatever the practice was going to be, as I had never once spoke of or discussed Yoga being the subject matter for the class room setting. In fact, it's more a vibe I received than anything spoken. The teacher, a female who had dark hair and a light skin tone to the face, but details were not there for her face. She wore colorful clothing and her dress bottoms were long and loose like a gypsies. She saw me opening the blanket and said politely , "You don't have to open it all the way". I felt she was reassuring me that it was not necessary, however if that is what I wanted to do then it was fine. I continued to open it up fully as I was determined to share it with the others. There were guys and girls present in the class room, and later on one of them had to go in an abrupt manner, in which the Teacher asked the young man something politely, but I did not catch what she said or perhaps I just can't recall what she asked, but he seemed to be late for work as he returned to gather his belongings from the floor where we all sat and was wearing a purple nurses scrub. That's when she asked the question, and he politely declined at which time I seated very close to her, being close in relationship with this teacher said "At least you asked, the worst that can happen is he says no". I was smiling as If to be enjoying my class and company as well. I felt I belonged and had been a student for some undisclosed amount of time there. Now the details of my "Mandala" blanket were this, beautiful and colorful, almost identical to the image you see above. So this morning the first thing I did on the computer was run a search in Google images for Mandala's to see what came up and on the very first page there was this image and it struck a cord with me and my dream, and so I saved it and began to blog this dream right away so as not to lose the importance of it's message. I also read up on Mandalas and there meaning. It's a Sanskrit word that means "Circle". I have been working an a new logo for my company called "The Ambient Being" and my primary symbol is one I had received through deep meditation last year and have been working with recently, after along absence from my path. The symbol is a single brilliant navy azzurit blue ring with a pure white background. It symbolizes the infinite , having no beginning and no end, our true nature displayed metaphorically. I believe, representing our highest form. We are eternal beings, and so I chose(really led to) this as the logo for "The Ambient Being". I believe as time goes on I will discover more to this logo like a Mandala, unraveling it upon deeper meditation, in time more revelations, insights will come. I'm taking each day in moment to moment increments. Focusing on my breath as I go. NAMASTE!
