“🍄”As I stepped beyond the threshold, I entered another world-like Dorothy walking into Oz. A slight breeze swirled the leaves and branches and blossoms of the garden, brushing the skin on my arms. Soft air and clear light caressed my face. Just then, the music stopped. It took me a moment to realize that the music in my head was actually in my iPod and the iPod must have run out of power. I took out the ear buds and a far more fantastic music flooded in, leaves rustling, birds chirping, insects buzzing, the distant shoosh of tires on the road invisible behind the trees. I sat at the wrought-iron table and put my feet up. The crystalline light astonished me. The air, neither hot nor cold, was invigoratingly dry. I felt energy radiating from my body into the air, mingling with the radiations emanating from all the life surrounding me. I scanned the back yard. The ornamental grasses had begun to shoot out golden tufts; the crepe myrtle, hydrangea, stone crop, petunias and geraniums all had covered themselves in blossoms. Figs grew large and heavy on the fig tree, which exploded tropically in one corner of the yard, and fat red tomatoes swelled on the still leafing vines in another.

Instead, we are moving in the motion of a figure 8. The Figure 8 is a natural repeating pattern that is divided into two halves and is thus the perfect symbol to represent the human life cycle and our two primary states of existence that we are continuously moving in and out of -the Awake state and the Dream state. When we open our eyes and awake from sleep we inevitably come full circle to when we close our eyes and fall back asleep (represented by the bottom half of the figure 8 ) and when we enter the dream~state we come full circle to when we awake from the dream~state (represented by the top half of the figure 8 ). This motion is repeated throughout our human life span, regardless if we ‘remember’ our dreams or not. Upon death; the figure 8 of life untwines, but it’s not the body untwining from the mind, but rather two states of mind untwining to form a larger state of mind (8-0)… Because the awake state is really a state -of mind- with our body's physical reality "consciously" intertwined, and the dream-state is also a state of mind with our body's physical reality "subconsciously" intertwined. Therefore; upon death, these two states of mind untwine to form a “larger” state of mind represented by the now untwined figure 8~O…..A state that has all the potentialities of the dream-world (flying, telepathy, psychokinesis, etc) combined with all the actualities of the awake world(nature, form, our Earthly bonds, etc).

The Symbolic Analogy consists of the untwined figure 8 of life/the “circle of death” abstractly overlapping the ‘circle of life’ (Earth(🌎) with the overlapping area representing the Dream~State (like the common area in a Venn Diagram) and implies that the dream~state is just as much a part of life as is of death (by which explains precognitive dreams, prodromal dreams, "visitations" by deceased relatives, etc) for the dream~state has a foothold in the afterlife, and is based on the premise that While our body sleeps our dream state ~symbolically~ represents the state that awaits upon our body's ultimate rest.. In other words, while we are lying down and sleeping/dreaming, this natural process symbolizes where we go when we're ultimately lying down/dead ~to a place like our dream-state...A state "of mind” with our body's intended physical form+Earthly bonds eternally engrained and intertwined. ✋🏻♾️👁️~8~👁️♾️🤚🏿

The Figure 8 Analogy:
…We ~human beings~ are not moving in the abstract motion of a straight line towards death (for instance the numerical straight line of say 1-89). Instead, we are moving in the motion of a figure 8. The Figure 8 is a natural repeating pattern that is divided into two halves and is thus the perfect symbol to represent the human life cycle and our two primary states of existence that we are continuously moving in and out of -the Awake state and the Dream state.
When we open our eyes and awake from sleep we inevitably come full circle to when we close our eyes and fall back asleep (represented by the bottom half of the figure 8 ) and when we enter the dream~state we come full circle to when we awake from the dream~state (represented by the top half of the figure 8 ). This motion is repeated throughout our human life span, regardless if we ‘remember’ our dreams or not.
Upon death; the figure 8 of life untwines, but it’s not the body untwining from the mind, but rather two states of mind untwining to form a larger state of mind (8-0)…
Because the awake state is really a state -of mind- with our body's physical reality "consciously" intertwined, and the dream-state is also a state of mind with our body's physical reality "subconsciously" intertwined. Therefore; upon death, these two states of mind untwine to form a “larger” state of mind represented by the now untwined figure 8~O…..A state that has all the potentialities of the dream-world (flying, telepathy, psychokinesis, etc) combined with all the actualities of the awake world(nature, form, our Earthly bonds, etc). This I refer to as the transitional analogy.
While conceiving The Figure 8 Analogy, I realized life and death must be perceived from one point of view as separate entities (the transitional analogy(8-0) but must also be perceived from another point of view as inseparable entities(the symbolic analogy👇), both of which are ultimately linked by the dream~state.
The Symbolic Analogy consists of the untwined figure 8 of life/the “circle of death” abstractly overlapping the ‘circle of life’ (Earth(🌎) with the overlapping area representing the Dream~State (like the common area in a Venn Diagram) and implies that the dream~state is just as much a part of life as is of death (by which explains precognitive dreams, prodromal dreams, "visitations" by deceased relatives, etc) for the dream~state has a foothold in the afterlife, and is based on the premise that While our body sleeps our dream state ~symbolically~ represents the state that awaits upon our body's ultimate rest..
In other words, while we are lying down and sleeping/dreaming, this natural process symbolizes where we go when we're ultimately lying down/dead ~to a place like our dream-state...A state "of mind” with our body's intended physical form+Earthly bonds eternally engrained and intertwined.
