SCORPION

The next symbols indicate the penetration in the unknown region of their psyche. They will see the cave, and the death of their ego. This means that they will stop considering their human conscience as if it was the center of their psyche, recognizing that their personality is also composed by their wild nature. Jung thought that this part belonged to the unconscious mind, but I discovered that the wild personality found in the human psyche belongs to the anti-conscience, our primitive conscience that didn't evolve like our human conscience.

The next symbols will mark the end of the trip, the arrival to the Self, and the completion of the heroes' mission. The dreamers will find the unconscious mind, recognizing the depth of their ignorance.

I passed through the trip to the self twice. First, as an author, since I was a literature writer who used to write inspired by the unconscious wisdom. Later, I passed through the same trip through dream interpretation.

My first trip to the self through literature begun when I was 16 years old, after suffering a tragic car accident the previous year. I lost my friend Marina, who was next to me in the car. I lost my memory, the coordination of my movements, my vision, and my intelligence. My gradual recuperation was a true miracle.

After this terrible accident I also lost my faith. I became very aggressive. I then started writing a very strange and complicated book entitled "The Philanthropic Beggar", which was never published. It was written in Portuguese because I'm Brazilian. I took 6 years to write it.

The translation of the symbolic meaning of this literary work gave me the key of total knowledge, when I learned how to translate the meaning of dreams. Thanks to the symbolism I found in this book I could easily understand the meaning of all the dream symbols that Jung couldn't define.

In my first trip to the Self through my own literature work, the Philanthropic beggar (the main character) and his granddaughter couldn't find the solution to all problems pertaining to human existence. They wanted to put an end to poverty and to the invisible war that separates all human beings.

They found only obstacles, false theories, and many impossibilities. They had only enemies, and nobody respected them because they were very poor.

So, my first trip to the Self ended in failure. However, I accepted waiting for the future, when I would perhaps be able to find a solution. My literary work ends with a seed that some day would become a tree. This tree would put a definitive end to human hunger.

My second trip to the self through dream interpretation was fascinating. I saw in my dreams the same series of dream symbols that all dreamers see when they make the trip to the unknown content of their psyche, as described by Carl Jung. It was really impressive!

The end of my second trip to the self was totally different. This time I found the solution I needed. The solution was my obedience to the wise guidance of the unconscious mind.

Therefore, in my first trip to the Self through literature I understood that I was not able to put an end to the human misery. I had to recognize that I would never be able to solve all human problems with my ideas.

I had to understand that I was ignorant, so that I would begin to obey the unconscious wisdom when I made my second trip to the Self through dream interpretation. Only because I rigidly obeyed the unconscious guidance in my dreams could I eliminate schizophrenia, which was threatening my mental health. I would become schizophrenic like my father because the absurdity I had inherited in my anti-conscience was too strong.

My salvation is another convincing proof that Carl Jung really discovered the hidden meaning of dreams and their healing power. Only because I precisely followed his lessons could I be in contact with the unconscious mind, and overcome my neurosis before it would become schizophrenia.

Pay attention to your dreams and write them down regularly. Study my simple method of dream translation, which is very clear and directly shows you the meaning of the dream symbols. It's based on Jung's discoveries and on my discoveries, after continuing his research. You will then make your own trip to the Self, finding all the solutions you need.
