Homestead Convenience 116 - Connecting Dreams

The writer of this convenience appears to have been mechanically-minded, and provides readers with explicit visual cues.This convenience is a good reminder that it is not always necessary to completely discard old dreams.New dreams can be infused with the images and energy of old dreams, and can be grown from their compost.

Connecting Dreams

When it is desired to connect a new dream with an old one,

without loss of energy,

it can be done as shown in figure 142.

Extend the inside of the new dream to the outside of the old one,

and, when ready,

pump the ideas from the old to the new dream

and the new dream will float to the top.

Convenience Ad - Eclipse Dream Remover

Here is another dream advertisement. I'm going to go ahead and categorize it as both an advertisement and a renegade convenience.In dream work, there is (of course) the possibility of a placebo effect, and I cannot categorically claim that this paste did not work for someone, somewhere.Other convenience scholars agree, although some convenience practitioners believe we are being unnecessarily pedantic in bestowing any kind of legitimacy to products such as the No 1 "Eclipse" Dream Remover.Pedantic or not, here it is. 

Deadly Sin Inconvenience 7 - Pride

Here, again, is the Inconvenience writer who based her instructions on the seven deadly sins.This Inconvenience writer was working sometime between 1850 and 1910, as noted in the Covetousness Inconvenience description.We see the upside-down heart in the designs on either side of the text, these hearts being the definite sign of an inconvenience.But, surely, few could doubt the manipulation and malevolence present in the text itself.Imagine the sense of superiority and arrogance of the person indoctrinated with these thoughts. 

Promote Pride

Support a bosom swelling with pride.

Label all like this: perfect, precious, important, good, absolute, first, always preferable, fine,

select class, favourite, the more striking, better, wise, the best _______, the best _______, and the best ______.

Always.

 

Modes of Protecting Convenience - Wall of Grace

Many Conveniences mention grace, but there was one particular convenience writer who repeatedly stressed the importance of it.This is one of her creations.She tells her readers that letting go may be necessary.She suggests that human effort may ultimately prove ineffective, but that a wall of grace can be an answer in severe situations. 

Modes of Protecting Convenience - Wall of Grace

Many persons are at a loss for a simple contrivance for effecting the desired purpose.

When the situation is severe, a wall of grace may be formed.

Inconvenience 33 - Check the Dosage

Inconvenience 33 is an exhortation to watch and assess the effects of poisonous thought and suggestion.The writer tells the reader that it is possible to poison another's thoughts without triggering suspicion.Assessing the effects of the poisoning allows the practitioner to supply any needed increase in infection; it needn't take much extra effort to achieve the desired results.

Inconvenience 33

The poison enters and decay takes place unsuspected.

Check the dosage.

Very little extra outlay is usually sufficient for adding strength to the decay.

Academic Convenience 7A - Loosening the Roots

The writer of academic convenience 7A commented on the potentially troublesome nature of secrets.To be more precise, she suggested that keeping pain hidden can perpetuate the feeling.She advocated some analysis of the problem (trimming thorns and loosening roots), and then suggested exposing troubles to openness, to light, air, sun, rain, and dew.The openness can provide a new perspective on pain or wounds, and can lessen feelings of isolation.

Convenience 7A

Another method of replacing the pain is trimming the thorns on each side of the wound, loosening the roots.

A few days in the sun will help

Do not neglect the direction action of the light, air, rain, and dew.

 

International Convenience 2A - Prevent Distance

This particular writer prefers to work with what she considers to be the canon of conveniences.Please note the copyright of 1883, printed at the bottom of the convenience.The nineteenth century is historically known for its many attempts to codify almost everything. For that reason, this nineteenth-century convenience is an excellent historical artifact.Many social customs began to change near the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries, and conveniences from those times were typically less insistent on conformity to established practices.

One advantage of being close

is to prevent the modification of convenience passages

Academic Convenience 1 - The First Work

The text reflects an academic mind and practice.It speaks of composition, narrative, editing (sharpen well), and research (preparing the ground).It is also a process for dream work. It is best, for many people, to prepare for the work, and to consider their dream histories before beginning.

Academic Convenience 1 - First Work

Compose an ordinary narrative and sharpen well.

Preparing the ground is necessary.

 

Inconvenience 22 - Initiating Addiction in Adolescence

Inconvenience 22 emphasizes the importance and vulnerability of adolescence during a person's life cycle.The writer proposes that excessive criticism and lack of encouragement during this time may be particularly effective in preparing the person for later addiction.The writer suggests that making the individual doubtful about competence and uncertain of support can encourage that person toward a path of compulsive behavior.

Inconvenience 22

Actuate addiction by direct administration of  admonishment in adolescence

Adopt an adverse advocateship

 

Academic Convenience 12 - Using Others as Examples

Convenience 12 hints at the importance of inspirational examples in dream work.Sometimes, if we cannot find a dream or enough dream energy on our own, using someone else as an example or model can be just the impetus that we need to find our own motivation and inspiration.This does not mean generating an exact copy.It does mean gathering inspiration and ideas and carrying those energies into acts of creating. 

Convenience 12

Lay the pattern on the space

and trace

Inconvenience 6 - Allow the Sulky

Inconvenience 6 emphasizes the possible benefits of working with people who have some underlying dissatisfaction or personality trait.Sulkiness may be the quality of a person who feels neglected or ignored. It can create an excellent soil for inconvenience work, and it should be encouraged (according to the writer).Note the upside-down heart on the bottom of the woman's skirt, the symbol of an inconvenience. 

Inconvenience 6

Allow and crank the sulky woman or man especially

Homestead Convenience 89 - Hint for Mending Broken Dreams

This plain Convenience recommends expanding options.Many convenience scholars infer the following subtext:

Broken dreams are likely inevitable.

Remaining fixated on those broken dreams, or trying to reach them using the same methodologies over and over again, are not useful pursuits.

Expanding options and outlets may provide the extra information to reach the dream, or they may provide a more satisfying vision.

Homestead Convenience 89

Hint for mending broken dreams: deepen outlets

Convenience Ad 10 - Unsatisfactory Dreams Can Be Cured

This advertisement shows the inevitable: the business was commercialized.The advertisement borders on the renegade as not all sanitariums and hospitals can offer legitimately helpful treatment.It also makes the rather large statement that unsatisfactory dreams can be prevented.As Convenience practitioners have experienced throughout the centuries, this is not often true. Nor can unsatisfactory dreams always be cured.Nevertheless, the advertisement does make the potential client aware that institutional help is available.Choosing the appropriate institution is of paramount importance. 

Convenience Ad 10 - Unsatisfactory Dreams Can Be Cured

Inconvenience 5 - Morbid Restlessless

Inconvenience 5 encourages morbid restlessness.Most convenience scholars assert that this means encouraging dissatisfaction with every aspect of life.The Inconvenience notes that this continuous and morbid restlessness almost certainly leads to a profuse depression in the client which is, in this case, something to be sought and cultivated.

Inconvenience 5

sometimes, profuse depression is a desired effect

habituating chronic and acute morbid restlessness

is an astonishingly rapid treatment

Academic Convenience 16 - Embodiment

Convenience 16 emphasizes the idea that it's not enough to embrace change mentally or intellectually.The writer encourages change through the eyes and ears, and suggests that this physical embracing of change can lead to change becoming embodied.The visual and auditory embrace helps create change as memory, and, therefore, as something more likely to become permanent. 

Convenience 16

Embodiment of Thought

This writer feels that appealing

to auditory and visual memory is a must

these illustrate meaning

 

Inconvenience 4 - Privilege and Criticism

Inconvenience 4 speaks to the insidious and destructive natures of privilege and criticism.Assuming privilege, and assuming the practice and right to criticize, can create the other: the other person, other class, other race, other gender, the other [pick any characteristic].This is not to say that criticism and critique are not valuable for many inequitable situations and for instigating change.But Inconvenience 4 is not about civil discourse. This Inconvenience describes the evils of dissatisfaction, projection, and a sense of superiority.The practitioner using this Inconvenience is certainly sowing seeds of discontent and discord. Making some people feel superior to others and encouraging negative criticism creates a crooked worm, as the Inconvenience states.The writer's use of the word worm tells the reader what the practitioner really thinks about the client.Notice the classic indicator of an Inconvenience, the upside-down heart. In this rendition, the writer has used the word heart and has placed it into position at the bottom of the figure.

Inconvenience 4

the simplest

the most dangerous and directest method of construction:

esteem privilege

inoculate with the virus of criticism

and the worm will be crooked enough

 

Homestead Convenience 7 - Abundant Possibilities

The style of this Convenience places it squarely within the Homestead Convenience tradition.The Convenience writer tells her readers that her work with the Conveniences offers a wide variety of options and possibilities. 

Travel Convenience 18 - Tourists and Travellers in our Own Lives

Throughout Conveniences history, many Convenience writers have come from a tradition of traveling.Some writers have traveled extensively, some have been armchair travelers; many have found themselves between those two points on the traveling experience spectrum.This Convenience was clearly written by a woman with some experience, both in actual travel and in life.Her comments about tourists and travelers tell her readers that she is likely familiar with both, and that she recognizes a distinction between the two.Regardless of this distinction, she advises that her readers work with the inevitable changes in life.She suggests that accepting change will allow readers to inhabit their own lives and claim their own experiences.She explicitly states that she does not advocate settling for any or all circumstances. She advocates finding options and approaching situations differently; she recommends diversity and various kinds of peace. 

Homestead Convenience 3A - How to Identify a Woman on the Path

The attribute that makes a Convenience a Homestead Convenience is the style, not the content.A Homestead Convenience may be created by any woman, regardless of education, class, or any other aspect of identity.Some create Homestead Conveniences because they prefer what they consider to be a simpler style.Others create Homestead Conveniences because they prefer the ways that the meanings are emphasized.This Convenience is a Homestead Convenience in style, although its meaning is anything but simple.Many readers may note that this writer has used a page from the book Modern Woman and How to Manage Her by Walter Gallichan, 1910.Notice how the writer has allowed the reader to see the derogatory comments about women: St. Augustine asking why women were born at all, Luther advocating withholding culture from women, and women having the fierceness of dragons and the snake's cunning, among many other negative comments.The writer subverts all of these comments by locating and emphasizing her own descriptions of women on the path.The writer uses her own words and claims her own identity and her own place in history and culture.

Academic Convenience 5 - Stretch the body and mind

Convenience 5 speaks to the holistic and complex nature of each person. The condition of the mind and body can affect how easily the heart softens and accepts change.I personally love this convenience for its emphasis on the whole person.I was taught that it also stresses the idea that there are multiple points of introduction for change, including the body, mind, and spirit.

Convenience 5

Stretch the body and mind.

This allows to heart to open to receive the change more easily.
