Chapter 30The Human World · Child

The child is usually the symbol of the psychic being.

* A dream like this of a child — especially a newborn child — usually signifies the birth (i.e. the awakening) of the soul or psychic being in the outward nature.

* The child usually signifies the psychic being — newborn in the sense that it at last comes to the surface. The colour of the cloth [bright yellow] would mean that it comes with health (internal or external or both) and the spiritual riches.

* The infant in the Mother’s arms is the symbol of the psychic being.

* It is not a fact that the psychic being always appears as a baby — it is sometimes seen symbolically as a newborn baby; many see it as a child of varying ages — it is a very common and usual experience; it is not peculiar to emotional natures. It has several significances such as the new birth of the consciousness into the true psychic nature, the still young growth of this new being, the trust, reliance, dependence of the child on the Mother.

* The child (when it does not mean the psychic being) is usually the symbol of something newborn in some part of the consciousness.

* I suppose the golden child is the Truth-Soul which follows after the silver light of the spiritual. When it plunges into the black waters of the subconscient, it releases from it the spiritual light and the sevenfold streams of the Divine Energy and, clearing itself of the stains of the subconscient, it prepares its flight towards the supreme Divine (the Mother).
