I drew this symbol as my daily card on 4 Sept. It seemed to fit in so well with a dream I had, later that same night.
Firstly, the symbol.
Linesman - new connections. It's about installing new communication technology/equipment so that the current communication methods can be improved (or created, where non at all existed).
So, what is wrong with the old connections? Well, I guess that assumes that the new will replace the old, but what if no connection existed in the first place? Either way, it is giving you an increased opportunity to have contact with people outside of your door.
Lynda says: "......failure in communicating your thoughts, ideas, or emotions lately....."
Hmm, that sounds very frustrating to me. How interesting that we can convey a simple message - only to have it reinterpreted and reapplied according to the values and beliefs of the person receiving the message. Think chinese whispers.
Lyn Birkbeck (in his sabian oracle book) says: ".......requires equal effort from both sides for effective communication......"
And my dream.....well, I was on a rollercoaster, travelling around the bottom level of the ride. It was pretty flat, uneventful. I got off the ride and stood to the side, watching the next lot of passengers leave. This time, the ride took a detour, up to a second level. It went faster and was much more exciting. After the carriage returned to the bottom level, I took a walk up the new route. I looked at the track. It now resembled a series of lines - more like a toy train track. It was curving, lots of figure 8's etc. A group of people (mainly children) followed and they were all waiting for the next rollercoaster to travel this path, to see how it handled on the corners. But, the children had brought toys with them and they now laid strewn about the place. The track was also starting to lift in areas. It was in need of definite repair and cleaning up. So, I set about restoring the track, while everybody else just stood around and watched.
Together, the symbol and the dream......well, something has turned out far more complicated than expected. Many tracks/lines need repair, replacement, or additions. And there is an underlying feeling that it is my responsibility to resolve this "communication" problem.
But, as Lyn says.....it requires equal effort.
with love
