"A New Dimension"
In the last few years people who have been my guides my teachers my base have all passed on. This change was sudden and drastic and left me completely unprepared and alone. I found myself in a different state as these major support systems were no longer in place. In times of terrible crisis they were there to help me sort through all my obstacles. Now they are no longer there and I was left to rediscover a new direction. Not too long after their passing I had a dream about my Grandfather who at the time was a Medicine Man in the early and late 70’s. In a dream he came to visit me and asked me how I was doing. I told him about how I felt completely alone and how empty I felt that everyone was gone. He pulled this old wooden chair beside me and he told me that this was a natural part of life. He also told me that in times like this people awaken new insights. I woke up and thought really hard about this dream and what its message may be. In the last few years I have gone back into my life and reprocess how all of my decision making processes originated from and have identified what changes need to occur and how to create a new base that is completely independent. As I was reprocessing everything in my life I found out that the base was spiritual. This entire picture is based on this process.
