Enter the Dreaming

Throughout recorded history and beyond, reaching back into the days of what we moderns call myth and legend there have existed communities of spiritual seekers who have cherished and preserved the innate knowledge and wisdom of the ancients. This knowledge included comprehension of the underlying principles, cycles, and flow of nature and the cosmos; the hidden secrets of life, death, fertility, and sexuality; the arts of healing, insight into the nature of the psychic-energetic-emotional patterns flowing between the physical body and the luminous energy field, receiving, transmitting and interpreting messages from both the physical and visionary realms and much more. Pouring outward from the primordial heart of creation, beyond the linear veils of time and space, and nurtured in the Dreamtime, this knowledge lay at the heart of the great spiritual traditions of our planet. Encoded in a secret language of symbols, handed down through oral tradition, the universal languages of symbol and artistic expression, and finally the written word, these teachings were cherished and kept alive. In the Temples and Royal Courts of Egypt, India, and Tibet, among the Alchemists of Europe, in the secret Tantric circles of the yogis and yoginis, in the Medieval villages of the early Christian Gnostics and Jewish Kabbalists among the Shamans of indigenous cultures and the aboriginal peoples, amongst artists, dancers, poets, musicians, healers and mystics, wherever people gathered together who were still in touch with the essential myths, magic, and mysteries of the universe, these teachings have continued to be revealed, practiced and discreetly handed down from generation to generation.
