Develop Thy Self through Improving Charisma

Every person brings with him two things. If he loses these two things he cannot stay happily. one is sleep and the other is hunger. These two things are the essentials of human life. A human being will even step to the level of suicide if these two essentials are not made available to him. The present man is losing his simple sleep and hunger as he getting more evolved and civilized.
It has rightly been said that an overdose of food, sex and sleep can prove to be destructive. There are three kinds of food -

        One which is good for the body and the body needs this kind of food to keep itself fit. for instance, one must eat food which is very pure and does not activate the sense organs of the body. This kind of food keeps the body light and healthy and does not increase the fat, laziness and sleep in the body.
        Second food which is eaten more than necessary. For example, a youth eats up a sweet which was meant for eight people. as a result his health suffered. He suffered from indigestion, gastric problems and also diarrhea all his life. This was because of the food that he had.    A naturopathist had declared that one must eat less grains and more fruits. To have good health one must live in accordance with nature. By nature it is meant less eating, less talking, less thinking and less tiring. Person who eats more will talk more. Person who talks more will think more. Person who thinks more will always be tired.
        Third kind of food which is pure and which has the ability to fight the diseases in the body.
        Ordinarily, food produces protein, carbohydrates, starch, minerals, iron, calcium, vitamins, and water. All these are the necessities of the body. Each person has to eat according to the want of the body. there are some foods which produce more starch and less vitamins. This type of food will increase the fat of the person who consumes it and will decrease the person's strength. A balanced diet has to be followed so that excess of anything is not produced in the body which might be harmful for the body.
        It is not the nature of man to be healthy. According to allopathy it is the bad germs which cause diseases. Ayurveda believes that it is the juice of the food we eat that causes diseases. Naturopathy believes that it is the person's eating habits which causes the thoughts. These thoughts are what lead to diseases According to Lord Mahavira it is a person's negative nature like anger, jealousy, hatred etc. which causes diseases.
        Modern Life Science also believes that a person whose life energy or resistance power is low, will catchy a disease very fast. Medicines will effect those persons whose life energy is high.

        Our nervous consist of two main parts known as the voluntary and the involuntary nervous system. The voluntary nervous system direct the movement of the limbs, head and trunk. It is controlled as we wish. It consist of the brain and the spinal chord. The involuntary nervous system controls the internal organs heart, blood vessels, lungs, intestines etc. It also controls the flow of saliva and sweat. It is not under our control but it responds to our rules. For example when we are afraid our cheeks becomes white. Our pupils dilate, our heart stars beating faster than usual and our hands start sweating. You do not consciously react like this and we have no power to stop these reactions other than to change our moods. It is therefore called involuntary nervous system.
        The involuntary nervous system itself consist of two parts -
    (i) The Sympathetic &
    (ii) The Parasympathetic.

The sympathetic is connected with our moods. The parasympathetic nerves are those which hold sympathetic nerves in check. It is only when we are overwrought with anger, fear and excitement that the sympathetic nerves dominate the parasympathetic.
There are different grades of nervous suffering. Countless people have bad nerves and most of them continue at their work although very distressed.
Their are some people who complain of the problems like sleeplessness, depression , fatigue, churning stomach, indigestion, racing heart, palpitations, sweating hands, breathlessness, giddiness, nausea, vomiting, occasional diarrhea etc. persons who suffer from these symptoms are easily upset even on petty matters. they are quite certain that their is something seriously wrong with them. however they are not aware that these symptoms are nothing but a pattern of continuous fear and tension. The treatment of all symptoms depends on a few simple rules. The principle of treatment can be summarized as :

Facing. First, one must sit as comfortably as one can and relax by taking deep breaths. It will begin with the nervous feeling in the stomach, the so called churning. Relax and enjoy it. Then examine the feeling without becoming upset. While you examine the feeling without churning, a strange thing may happen. You may find your attention wandering from yourself. This 'thing' that seemed so terrible while you stayed tense and flinched from it, may fail to hold your attention for long when you see for what it is. Be prepared to accept and live with it for the time being.

Accepting. True acceptance is the keystone to recovery. When the churning does not bother you at all, it means that you have accepted it. It takes time for a body to establish acceptance as a mood and eventually to bring peace. Just as it takes time for fears to become established as continuous tension and anxiety. If you can let you stomach churn, your hands sweat, your heart thump quickly and your headache without paying too much attention to them, then you are truly accepting. It does not matter so much if at first you cannot do this calmly. bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan --><[FrontPage HTML Markup Component]

Floating.
To float is just as important as to accept. It works similar magic. To explain more clearly, A lady was very afraid of meeting people. She would not enter any shop. She was then asked to imagine that she was floating into the shop, as if she were in a cloud and make her purchase. She could further help herself by letting any obstructive thoughts she might have float out of her head. When she came back she was overjoyed and willing to do more floating. The muscles are freed and one can float past obstructive thought. Floating also means to give up the struggle, to stop holding tensely onto yourself trying to control your fear, trying to do something about it, while subjecting yourself to constant self analyses. The attitude had to be loosened. Don't be too concerned because you are tensed and cannot relax.

You may feel that faith is so to push you back every opportunity, but you must be cheered by the thought that, whatever faith may do, three good friends will never fail you occupation, courage and religion

Occupation.
The mind must be kept occupied. Let occupation be you crutch accept all the tricks your nerves play on you while attempting to lose yourself in occupation. Relax, accept the temporary slowness of your thought and be prepared to as slowly as your tired brain allows. Seek occupation in the company of others. One must remember that an hour spent in bed in panic can exhaust more than light occupation will.

Courage has the extraordinary quality of being their if truly wanted. Religion The religious have faith in god to help them. Sometimes people think they are being tried by god. they will have to have faith in god.

1. Do not run away from fear. Analyze and see it as no more than a physical feeling. Do not be bluffed by   a         physical feeling.
2. Accept all the strange sensations connected with your anxiety. Do not fight them. Recognize that they are        temporary.
3. Let there be no self pity.
4. Settle your problem as quickly as you can, if not by action, then by accepting a new point of view.
5. Waste no time on ' what might have been ' and ' if only'.
6. Face sorrow and know that time will bring relief.
7. Be occupied do not lie in bed brooding. Be occupied calmly, not feverishly trying to forget yourself.
8. Remember that strength in a muscle may depend on the confidence with which it is used.
9. Accept your obsessions and be prepared to live with them temporarily. Do not fight them by trying to push        them away. Let time do that.
10. Remember you may need help to overcome your anxiety accept it willingly without shame.
11. Do not be discouraged if you cannot make decisions while anxious.
12. Never accept defeat. Remember it is never to late to give yourself another chance.
13. Face, accept, float and let time pass.

How many times have you blurted out, "I have a terrible memory", after forgetting someone's name, a phone number or the directions you were just given? Almost every person thinks they have a memory problem. But there's no such thing as a terrible memory- only an untrained one.
You memory is equal to all the experiences you have already known, all the places and all the events. It waits to receive all the experiences to come in your future. Memory is the sum total of our lives. Most people's biggest memory problem is thinking. They have a problem. And thinking you are alone with your memory problem can make you feel very insecure.We all, on occasion, forget things. Forgetting a name, a number, an note, is normal if you haven't locked it in. If you fail to lock in new information of any kind after seeing it or hearing it, that information can be lost in as little as seven seconds. That's the seven second syndrome. Lock it or lose it.

Thinking negatively about anything is a bad habit. Your own thoughts about your memory can cause you to forget. Worrying or not about whether or not you will remember is a bad thinking habit that can set your memory up for a fall. Worrying about anything sends the wrong message to your mind. even though you are not consciously aware of it, your subconscious mechanically collects everything you are seeing, hearing, feeling, or even thinking about. It will collect a message saying you can't remember names. Since you have no control over your subconscious, you never know when these negative thoughts will come back to haunt you.
    Do not joke about your memory. The first step towards improving your memory is to pay attention to the people and things around you. It involves three basic combined actions-
    1. Seeing and hearing (paying attention)
    2. Looking and listening and
    3. Comprehending and digesting.

All three start with taking an interest in what goes around you. If we don't make a conscious effort to focus on new information, It goes into our mechanical or subconscious memory. We need not consciously wake up our minds to what we are seeing or hearing.
Current scientific studies show that bearing illness to the brain, the adverse effect you age has on your memory abilities a myth. Infact, the opposite is true. Memory is the few things that can actually improve with age. Because the mind is the connecting machine, the older we get, the more experiences and knowledge we have stored away to connect with. If you should fail to recall something, don't use your age as an excuse.

Invent an Acronym.
Many phrases and titles are difficult to remember without mnemonic help. An acronym is a word from the first letter of the words that make up a phrase or title. Creating an acronym from the initials of an entire phrase makes the phrase easy to remember, for by recalling the single word you can recall all the parts.

Make a Mental Memo.
Remembering to do many small things in life can sometimes be very important. Forgetting to take your medicine, for example, could have serious consequences. We can make mental memos to remember these things. Another good jogger is to link something that you want to remember with na item you are sure to see.

Keep a Personal Organizer.
If you keep a personal organizer or notebook listing all the things you need to do each day, get in the habit of looking at it first thing each morning and several times during the day, checking off all your chores as you complete them.

Develop Ear-Mindedness.
The mind's ear is a much more important tool than mind's eye. To make remembering an habit, try to develop your ear mindedness by consciously listening more to everything you hear. Upon hearing anything that you want to remember, hit the save key n your mental computer.

Treat People's Name as Information.
If good service is important in your work, forgetting names can be very costly. Not remembering names is the result of lack of focus. Treat every name you hear as an important information and save it in your mental computer. Looking for meaning in names is the major step that can lock names in. It takes focus. That's how you switch your memory from automatic pilot to power control.

Put Film into Your Mental Camera.
Absentmindedness visits all of us from time to time. It has nothing to do with intelligence or age. It is a literal term the mind is absent from the action. And if your mind is absent, you are not thinking about what you are doing. Switch on your conscious mind. Put some film in your mental camera. If you want something to register, think about what you are doing at the moment you are doing it.

Prevent Forget what I came here for Situation.
How many times have you walked down the hall to the kitchen and when you got there, you didn't know why you had gone?That's perfectly normal. You can lose a thought as fast as you can get one. To avoid losing it, you must lock it in during the moment of the thought. Visualize yourself having already achieved what you are going for - before you even go.

Keep your Memory Healthy.
Memory ia a part of your physical and mental self. Just as you would want to keep your body healthy, you should give equal time to keep your memory healthy. Keep your mind challenged and treat it to good nutrition, plenty of rest and above all, a positive.

Our memories are often affected by our moods. Even a mild depression can interfere with the ability to absorb information. If you find yourself with the negative thoughts, break the chain by seeking some diversion- perhaps going for a walk or going for deep breathing. To keep a healthy memory as well as a healthy body, follow the rules of good nutrition. Eat a well balanced diet. Avoid excessive alcohol and nicotine for they can be unfriendly to the memory. Some amount of stress is a regular visitor to most of us in our daily lives. Worry and anxiety can clutter your thoughts, leaving little space for learning or remembering. Since mental stress also create physical tension, the best way to relieve it is through exercise and deep breathing. Exercise should be regular part of everyone's daily program. Ease your physical tension and your mental stress will be eased as well.

Esteem is defined as appreciation, with estimate of value. Self-esteem is the package of beliefs that you carry around in your head, that you have accepted to be truth about yourself, whether it actually is or not. Everything you do is determined by your value judgment of yourself. The quality if a persons life is determined by his commitment to excellence.

The cause of so low self-esteem in our country is based on three wrong principles governing so many children and adults- intelligence, beauty and money.

Intelligence.
All people have different abilities. They should be judged by their application and efforts.

Beauty.
Beauty should be measured from within, not judged by external features. Never call another person ugly. We all have different looks. Never contrast one child with another. Pointing out the different distinctive features means all have beauty and value.

    Money.
        In our society, the kids with most money are considered superior. Money is just one standard of measuring values and children from homes with money did nothing to earn it. They simply happened to be born in these homes.
        Self-esteem has two parts :
        (1) Sense of personal ability
        (2) Knowledge of personal value.

High self-esteem is self respect, self confidence, self value, self acceptance, self love and self celebration. High self-esteem assures us of confidence in coping, in facing life, in the ability to meet life's challenges and opportunities and to feel that life works. Low self-esteem expresses a feeling that I can't cope, I can't face life's problems and that I am not fit to function as a person. High self-esteem means living in the now. Low self-esteem means living in the past. Make a commitment to yourself to value yourself and to celebrate yourself. Never put yourself down. Don't say critical things about yourself. The only way we overcome a negative thought is to replace it with it's opposite, positive statement. You are a miracle of God. He didn't intend for you to be fear filled neurotic, compromising person. You are of value because you exist. You have abilities, many of them untapped, lying dormant, but nevertheless available. With every achievement and delight in them. Your only limitations are in your mind. Set your goals, work your plan, make your commitment and you will prove your worth. It takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow. A positive person understands that little disappointment does not mean that it won't be a great day. Turn the rain into something beautiful. If you feel down, keep a smile on your face and lift someone else's spirit. When they feel better, it reflects back to you. Talk like a positive person and you will become a positive person. If you behave well and do not break rules, then other people will follow suit. Good behavior is a characteristic of a positive person. A positive person knows that a healthy mind and body are priceless. Regular exercise and proper nutrition are the keys to keeping fit.

        A positive person knows that you can't get anywhere today if you are dwelling on the disappointments and misfortunes of yesterday. Every day is a golden opportunity to start a new and to achieve great things. Your attitude is a determining factor in the height of your day's success. Keep your attitude up and you are sure to have an up day. Positive people believe that how you feel inside is reflected on the outside by the way you dress. So always try to look our best.
        A happy person is not a person without problem. A happy person is one who deals with problems in a positive manner; expecting the best out of all situations. Learn to build bridges not walls. Believe the best and ignore the rest.
        Your subconscious mind is a vast reservoir of all your thoughts and experiences. we are totality of what we have been through. Blot out of your mind those unpleasant experiences with the power of forgetfulness and recall all those pleasant experiences.
        Take a joy inventory - begin at the age of your earliest remembrance and writ out all the joyful experiences you can remember. Continue to write for each age of your life. Ponder, recall and delight in those experiences. Go over them again and again. Bombard your consciousness with those events. You will be amazed at the beautiful feelings that will follow. Determine hat the remaining years of your life will be invested in delightful experiences of joy and happiness. You then will have a life worth living.

Regardless of what you have suffered from the past of poor self- esteem, only one can change these feelings. Erase the bad feelings and replace them with positive self-affirmations to become the person God intended you to be.

Effective speaking is the revealing expression of a human personality. Business, social and personal satisfactions depend heavily upon persons ability to communicate clearly to his fellow men what he is, what he desires, and what he believes in. And now, as never before, in an atmosphere of international tensions, fears, and insecurities, we need the channels of communication between people kept open.

Every activity of our lives is communication of a sort, but it is through speech that man asserts his distinctiveness from other forms of life. Man alone has the gift of verbal communication, and it is through the quality of his speech that he best expresses his own individuality and his essence. When he is unable to say clearly what he means, through because of nervousness, timidity or unclear thought processes, his personality is blocked off, dimmed out and also misunderstood.

When I am called upon to stand up and speak, I become so self-conscious, so frightened, that I can't think clearly, can't concentrate, can't remember what I intended to say.

I want to gain self-confidence, poise and the ability to think by myself. I want to get my thoughts together in a logical order and I want to be able to talk clearly and convincingly before a business or social group.

These feelings are very common for a new speaker. This condition can be remedied and one can do away with their audience-fright and gain self confidence. There s no one who is a born public speaker. Public speaking is considered as a form of enlarged conversation.

Here are some tips which will help a person in acquiring the ability to speak effectively.

Keep you Goal before You
Concentrate your attention on what self-confidence and the ability to talk more effectively mean to you . Think what it may mean to you socially, of the friends it will bring, of your increased capacity to be of service in your social group and of the influence you will be able to exert in your business. It will prepare you for leadership. Think of the satisfaction and pleasure that will be yours when you start up and confidently share your thoughts and feelings with your audience. Two minutes before you begin your speech, you would like to quit but once you start you want to stop speaking.

Your self-confidence strengthens as you speak to others and your whole personality grows warmer and better. As a result of this you are better off emotionally and physically. By speaking, you will feel a buoyance of spirit and that will also improve your health. It is a wonderful sense and no pill can give it to you.

Predetermine your Mind to Success
By changing our thoughts, we can change our lives. Think positive and set the seal of determination upon every word and action. To succeed you need a desire amounting to enthusiasm and a self assurance to believe that you will succeed. Don't be afraid to share your views with the audience.

Overcome your fear
Speaking in public makes us come to grips with our fears. It is a method of overcoming self-conscious and building up courage and self-confidence. Even the most frequent public speaker experiences fear in the beginning.

Prepare yourself in the Proper way
Only the prepared speaker observes to be confident. A person who is prepared will not fumble and become helpless. Proper preparation does not mean to memorize your talk. You can make few notes and talk naturally to the audience. The man who writes out and memorizes his talks is wasting his time and energy and courting disaster. All our lives we have been speaking spontaneously. We have been thinking ideas not words. If our ideas are clear, the words come as naturally and unconsciously as the air we breathe. If a man delivers a memorized speech, his heart will not be in it and the audience will not find it interesting.

Lose yourself in your Subject.
You must sell yourself on the importance of the subject. A belief in your cause must be there.

Act Confident.
Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together. By regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not. Thus, the voluntary path to cheerfulness, if our spontaneous cheerfulness is lost, is to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness was already there. If such conduct does not make you cheerful, nothing else on that occasion can.
To develop courage when you are facing an audience, act as if you already had it. Breathe deeply for 30 seconds before facing the audience. Draw yourself up to your full height and look your audience straight in the eyes and begin to talk as confidently as if one of them owed you money.

Speak on what Life has taught you.
Speakers who talk about what life has taught them never fail to keep the attention of their listeners. A real life picture of anyone's life almost sure fire material. Unusual experiences experiences you might have had are the best kind of speech material. Do not generalize.

Be Excited about your Subject.
Here is a question that will help you determine the suitability of topics you fell qualified to discuss in the public. If someone stood up and directly opposed your point of view, would you be impelled to speak with conviction and earnestness in defense of your position? If you would, You have the right subject for you. Only by choosing topics, which are felt by the heart as well as thought out by the mind, will a sincerity be made manifest.
The speaker must not only be excited about his topic, but he must be eager to transfer this excitement to his listeners. The effective speaker earnestly desires his listeners to feel what he feels, to agree with the point of view, to do what he thinks is right for them to do and to enjoy and to relive his experience with him. He is audience centered and not self-centered. He knows that the success and failure of his talk is not for him to decide. It will be decided in the mind and hearts of the audience

Limit your Subject.
Once you have selected your topic, the first step is to take out the area you want to cover and stay strictly within those limits. Make the people sit up and take notice. Assemble a hundred thoughts around theme, then discard ninety.

Fill your talk with illustrations and examples.
There is no denying of the power of a story to hold attention in talking to a groups. This is the most important technique of using illustrative material can be acquired by humanizing, personalizing, specifying, dramatizing and visualizing.

The average speech would be far more appealing if it were rich with human interest stories. The speaker should attempt to make only a few points and to illustrate them with concrete cases.

When you tell stories involving others, use their names. Nothing adds more realism to a story than names. Nothing is as unrealistic as anonymity.

Too much detail is worse than none. If you clutter your talk with too much detail, your audience will not give you their full attention.

It isn't always possible to work dialogue into your talk but if the speaker has some initiative skill and get the original tone of voice into the words, dialogue can become more effective.

Psychologists tell us that more than 85% of our knowledge comes to us through visual impressions. One of the best way to enrich a talk with detail is to incorporate visual demonstration into it.

Share your talk with the audience.
Successful communication depends upon how well the speaker can make his talk a part of the listeners and listeners a part of the talk. The listeners are most interested in them selves and talking about them, their interest, their problems, etc. will ensure their attention. Ask yourself how knowledge of your subject will help the members of the audience solve their problems and achieve their goals. Them proceed to them that, and you will have their complete attention. People are not very much concerned about whether the government should own the rails, roads etc. but they want to know how to get ahead, how to draw more salary, how to keep healthy etc.

Audience are composed of individuals and they react like individuals. If you openly criticize an audience they will resent it, if you show your appreciation for something they have done that is worthy of praise, you will win a passport in their hearts. Tell the audience something about themselves that they didn't think you could possibly know.

Identify yourself with the audience.
As soon as possible, preferably in the first words you utter, indicate some direct relationship with the group you are addressing another way to open the line of communication is to use the names of the people in the audience. This will create a feeling of warm friendliness in the audience.

Make your audience a partner in your talk.

        Dreams are infinitely superior to our reasoning faculties. Dreams stern from the unconscious, that is from the hidden region where exist our secret tendencies. our complexes, our repressed feelings, along with desires which we would never to admit to in our normal state.
        There are two types of sleep : slow sleep and fast or 'Paradoxical' sleep. They can be distinguished by the simultaneous registration of active currents of the brain, the muscles and eye movements. Slow sleep always precedes fast sleep in a moving cycle, which occur from four to six times a night. Fast sleep is deeper than slow sleep and yet the sleeper experiences at that time a cerebral action. At this time the sleeper is completely isolated from the outside world and this is when he dreams.
        Therefore, to define dreams - a dream is an unconscious psychological phenomenon occurring during 'paradoxical' or fast sleep.
        Our dreams are independent of our will and of our sense of moral responsibility. We have no control over them. Certain situations from which we would normally recoil in horror occur in our dreams without our feeling the least qualm of conscience. The dreams take no account of space or time. When we are asleep, our conscience, our reason and our vigilance cease to exist because our cerebral cortex is the seat of the will and the conscience.
        There is an infinite variety of dreams. Some retain a precise logical shape in our minds and some leave no impression at all. You can remember a dream if you are awakened during the fast or paradoxical sleep phase which coincides with the dream. But if you are awakened even two minutes after that stage you will not remember it.
        Some dreams trouble us deeply. There are so many people afraid of going to sleep for fear of having terrible dreams. At the same time, some dreams give us pleasant feelings. There are many people who cannot wait to go to sleep in order to dream so as to escape for some painful reality. A dream takes up 20-30 % of an adult's sleep.
        As soon as the brain concentrates on certain activity, a marvelous mechanism takes over. The rest of the brain, which is not concerned with what is going on that time, puts itself to sleep. This means that the whole brain is not concentrating on one action. The more you concentrate on something, the more you excite limited areas of your brain.. But so equally do other large areas of the brain, detach themselves. They go to sleep. This is why concentration is so tiring. A small part of the brain is in a state of feverish activity under intense stimulation. And this is why great concentration so quickly induces sleep, since the rest of the brain os already sleeping. Sleep shuts off the main nerve centers of our brain but the whole brain does not go to sleep.
        For example, take the case of the mother who is sleeping soundly, nothing disturbs her but let child so much as breathe a faint sigh, which can hardly be heard, she will be awake immediately. It seems that part of her brain stays on the alert for what most concerns her. But the rest is switched off. This proves that during sleep the brain functions in separate parts.
        A dream is an expression of the unconscious and the unconscious is governed by certain special nerve centers situated at the base of the brain. Dreams don't bother with morals. Dreams take no account of conventions or traditions. All the conventions which have been painstakingly established over thousands of years are swept aside by the unconscious like wisps of straw.
        Dreams can also be called particular kind of 'thoughts' which occur in a which is asleep. Many people are deeply affected by dreams they have had during the night. they are delighted, heartened, downcast or perhaps terrified by them.
        Certain mental illnesses can originate from a dream which lives on in the person's mind and soon turns into an obsession or fixation. The sick person becomes incapable of distinguishing his dreams from reality. Dreams often do have an important influence on ideas or behavior, active or emotional. Some dreams enable us to get things into focus and to understand ourselves better and at the same time to understand our inner selves.
        The analysis of a dream can often be of paramount importance. Dreams force us to look ourselves in the face as they are born in the darkest and the most hidden recesses of our ego. They are like an internal mirror, this mirror may make a lot of people shudder. It clearly reflects their unconfessed desires, their complexes, their weaknesses, their anxieties. Dreams make a complete mockery of reason and logic, of common sense, of traditions, of conventions etc.
        Before interpreting a dream, one must know about several dreams a person has had. One also has to know the dreamer very thoroughly. As the dreams belong solely to you, it is an expression of only your personality. Suppose there are two people having an identical dream, the odds are that they will have totally different meanings. Besides, when a dream is being analyzed, every detail of the dream is taken into account.
        Some dreams are caused by physical factors. Generally, dreaming is due to recent or distant memories. Some have suffered appalling nightmares as a result of indigestion. These kind of dreams are relatively common. They are caused by purely physical factors.
        For example, someone with a pain in his intestines dreams that he's walking a very long, narrow and twisting corridor. It's easy to understand that the sleeping brain has made a 'transposition'. This corridor is long and twisting like an intestine.
        There are some great dreams which occur only a few times during a lifetime. These dreams help us in an incomparably powerful fashion to escape from the little 'I' of ourselves. Some of these great dreams have changed their whole lives. These are profound dreams in which images occur, which have stupendous power and dazzling light. We encounter in these dreams the great life forces the sun, the earth, the fire, the water and light. Here we also sometimes have the impression that we are about to come face to face with God. They always awake a powerful emotion, conscious or unconscious and retain their power for days and sometimes even months.
        Man reveres whatever gives him abundance and security for the future. He reveres the great forces of nature, and also worships them. we will see 'generally' the great symbols and how they effect our dreams.
Sun
        Sun is the greatest symbol of energy. When we see it in a dream, we can believe in effective and creative action, in our man power and in our growth towards perfection. It is a symbol of life. The appearance of the rising sun dispels the terrors of the light and warmth. Sun is always synonymous with active force and self-knowledge. It is a sign of spirituality and of love.
        However, if the dream is of sun going down, then it means the inner life is on the decline and that the energy is running out.
        Going up is a symbol which corresponds to our most primitive instincts. It represents a search for an assurance of strength and spirituality. The ascent is connected with light. In contrast with the ascent or going up, the descent leads the dreamer towards his all pervading primitive instincts, or towards his most brutal impulses.
Fire
       If you dream of fire, you are tapping the great sources of psychic energy. If you dream of great fires, it means that you are seeking to rid yourself of your moral impurities and the trivial aspects of your character. Or it may mean that below your conscious level some new sentiments, new ideas have been born in you. But it takes numerous distorted forms in dreams of which the most common is a blazing building. This is a fire which destroys. It points to an inner danger which is threatening you.
Earth
         Earth has been likened it 'woman' in dreams. The earth symbolizes the mother or the Virgin. It is the universal mother, to whose womb we return after death, in order to dissolve there and live again eternally.
Water
        Water is a symbol of the 'unconscious'. Many are the dreams in which the dreamer slowly descends into the depths of the sea. Or else he finds himself fishing. These are dreams which have nothing good to offer. The dreams where a huge sun sinks into the sea. It's not unusual for this type to herald the approach of a very serious illness.
        Water can be a sign of good things too. It often represents the spirit. It's a symbol of purification. Water is a feminine symbol.
        There are countless legends which speak of it as a woman, a goddess or a mother. It then symbolizes purity, modesty, wisdom and gentleness. But a dream of a flood, is an alarm sent by your unconscious, it undermines and destroys.
        Our unconscious is like a 'chemist'. It knows about the future in it's latent state. A state from which this future will come into being tomorrow - or next year, depending on the circumstances and the Karma.
        This is the explanation for 'prophetic' dreams. The unconscious is a sort which gathers together lots of different factors, and then draws a conclusion from them. It has a special quality of not bothering itself with accepted conventions and moral codes, so that it goes straight to the facts in all their starkness.
