S/He's an angel who holds your hand in the midst of turmoil.

S/He is at home in the conscious world as well as the subconscious.

This is a breathing space in the tumultuous struggle of the ego's death. The energy is calm and comfortable.

The rainbow colors are refracted from the white light of the sun.
The sun has risen in the sky beyond. A new aspect is revealed.
The re-birth has begun.

Are you listening to your dreams, the messages from your inner Self?

Do you see that inside and outside are the same?

Are you "going with the flow" of life energy?

Are you rested and ready for the next initiation?
