THROUGH DREAMWORK, A QUANTUM LEAP
By Harold Egeln, January 2003
In December 2002 a book originally written in the 1940s came into the hands of S.P.A.C.E. called "THE LADY OF THE HARE: Being A Study Of The Healing Power of Dreams" by John Layard, a pioneering British anthropologist.
"This work is the first document, relating to the practice of Jungian psychology, which records in detail the analyst's own past in the practice of analysis as well as the patients. John Layard sought to bring to psychology the illuminating study of all humanities. This is an extraordinary and fundamental book."
This edition was published by Kegan Paul in London in 2002. The cover, in black with white lettering, shows the outline of THREE HARES in a circle, back-to-back.
It is our purpose here to review this significant book and to relate our review to our "WOW! Contact" accounts and insights. THIS WILL BE DONE THROUGHOUT JANUARY.
Bringing together the work on synchronicities and dreams of Dr. Gibbs Williams in New York and Dr. Remo Roth of Switzerland with the dream analysis and its successful therapeutic results of Layard's work with patient "Mrs. Wright" along with associated studies, it appears that we have reached a SOLUTION through SCIENCE to the nature and delivery of our communications and episodes reported in our e-book.
Perhaps to indicate that this is so, one month after our last synchronistic events, today on January 1, 2003, no more have seemed to occur, as if ending, or at least on hold awaiting our next move. Perhaps, again, with "The Lady of the Hare" now in the big picture, that, in itself, is an indicator, the message, to us, that we have our "SOLUTION."
Not an answer. But maybe a gift, a gift to be used and shared wisely.
Layard's book has no reference to UFOs, being written before the flying saucer scene ballooned into public consciousness in 1947, nor to extraterrestrials nor space. And yet, given our breakthrough, it has very much to do with the subject, understood through scholarly and intuitive methods beyond the meager resources of S.P.A.C.E.
His book is in two parts. Part One, "THE DREAM ANALYSIS," is a detailed case history based on 12 interviews Layard had with "Mrs. Wright" during 1940, relating 22 dreams and three visions of the subject.
The most crucial dream, Layard reports, is her dream of sacrificing the Hare, which opens a whole new bag for Laynard's analysis: the symbol of the Hare.
He makes it clear that there is a distinct difference between hares and rabbits, that of being their behaviour when faced with danger to their warrens, their homes. One hops quickly away, while the other waits until the danger is right upon them. But for our purposes here, we have not distinquished between hares and rabbits in our own e-book accounts.
The author writes that the Hare Dream,"which led to an intense experience which largely altered the dreamer's life, was during the analysis interpreted along lines applicable to any form of animal sacrifice or symbolizing the transformation of instinct into spiritual power..."
But an amazing, breakthrough discovery occurs to Layard, who adds, "...but the reason why the hare should have been selected by the dreamer's unconscious in preference to any other animal remained obscure till chance brought to my notice the widespread mythological beliefs regarding the hare in many parts of the world, both ancient and modern."
He continues, "These proved so remarkably consistent throughout the world, and in addition corresponded to and illuminated so many of the details of this dream and of those immediately following it, that it became evident that the hare was to be numbered among what Jung called the 'Archetypes'..."
Those archetypes, he continues, had great influence in the past and are retained in unconscious deeper levels in today's humans, "unknown and therefore inoperative in most, but ready to spring forth into effective action once the internal redemptive process is activated and begins to work."
That discovery is told in detail by Layard in Part Two, "THE MYTHOLOGY OF THE HARE," which bears significantly on our material, as we made the same connection through another pathway.
There is one huge difference here!
While dreams tell us much and help us achieve results, as Dr. Roth relates in his feature article in our S.P.A.C.E. Explorer Orbitzine, ("The UFO and the Subtle Body in Contemporary History and Future Development in Nine UFO Dreams") with the dreams of "Mrs. XY," the hares/rabbits in our experence mostly appear while we are awake, in meaningful, often surprizing, synchronistic events and contexts, with other consistent associations.
Rather than arising exclusively in our dreams, they arise in the here-and-now, and relate to the high strangeness factor in close encounter episodes.
Which implies not only the hare/rabbit archetype arising out of the deeper levels of our own psyche, but on a world stage, involving many people in different places and at different times, with strong hints of another consciousness at work in concert with ours. There are clearly other levels and layers of perception at play.
That is why we have a REAL TRUE BREAKTHROUGH staring into our faces with the "WOW!" material, and why decoding is crucial to determining the sources and origins of messages apart from our world, emerging from inner or outer space.
It also strongly suggests the activation, in part through our intentions and participation, of a physics of information matrix, of a network of highy advanced artifical intelligence or a naturalistic system of highly developed consciousness.
And now, through "THE LADY OF THE HARE" we have our solution, ready to stand the rigors of study and testing.... and application!
In writing his book, Layard acknowledges members of the then (circa 1940) Psychological Study Group in Oxford for their comments on his case study. That group consisted of professors of logic and of philosophy of Chritsian religion, a psychologist, an anthroplogist, a college psychiatrist, a priest, a chaplain, and a college tutor. He also acknowledged the help of T.S. Eliot.
Thanks to Layard's fascinating and informative "THE LADY OF THE HARE" we have gained scholarly supportive material from 60 years ago, the span of time since pre-flying saucer era Foo Fighters mystified warplane pilots until the recent "Steven Spielberg Presents TAKEN" TV series.
Layard, in Part Two, looks in detail at the hare symbol in many cultures over many times, in India, China, North America, ancient Egypt, Europe and classical antiquity.
