Dreams of the Soul

During the period of 50,000 to l0,000 B.C., the breaking apart and submergence of Atlantis became complete. Paralleling this earth change was a change in the learning of the soul or the inner Thinker called man. Whereas in the earlier period of Atlantis mankind learned by observation of the animal man bodies, in later times he became entrapped and thereafter learned only from direct experience which we call entrapment. In this earlier period, learning occurred through observation from the subconscious mind via the soul to the conscious mind or physical.

During this time period, souls began to become entrapped in the physical body of the animal man as the body assumed the qualities and characteristics of our present day Homo Sapiens. This time period also physically parallels the time period of evolution from Neanderthal to Cro-Magnon.

As the soul became involved in controlling the animal man bodies, he became entrapped. Therefore the great initiated souls saw the need to set up centers of learning so the evolution of mankind might progress even after the entrapment. These centers taught the laws of mind, their relationship to the individual, and how to apply these laws in the physical for the progress of mankind.

Thus it was that centers of learning and civilization were passed on from Atlantis to Egypt, India, the Caspian Sea area, and to the Maya of the Yucatan and Central America. This knowledge from ancient time was used in Egypt to build the great pyramid and the Sphinx as a Bible in stone. This pyramid expresses as a book of life and creation through geometry and mathematics. The great pyramid of Giza also serves as a device for stabilizing the earth. The Maya also built pyramids with their advanced civilization. They, as well as the Egyptians, were students of the stars and their movements which today we call astrology and astronomy.

Those Atlanteans settling in the area of the Caspian Sea gradually migrated to two main areas of the globe, splitting these peoples into two main groupings. One group became the Babylonians, the Chaldeans, and the Persians. It was in this land that Zarathustra was born. Zarathustra, also known by his Greek name Zoroaster, started the religion known as Zoroastrianism. From Zarathustra's teachings also came the order of the magi who were observers of the heavens and passed on the inner secrets to mankind given them by the world teachers of old.

The second group coming from the area of the Caspian Sea migrated through the Himalayas to India. These people were known as Aryan or exalted ones for they carried with them the knowledge of a great civilization. These Aryans carried with them a language of mind very clearly expressed in mathematical terms. This language is called Sanskrit. It is closely allied to the language in which the Zend Avesta was written. The Zend Avesta is the Holy Book of the followers of Zarathustra. The Jewish and Christian Bible is a later adaption with additions of Persian, Babylonian, Chaldean, Egyptian and Indian Holy Books. A Holy Book is a book that is written in the language of mind and explains creation. The early written languages of Sanskrit, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and the language of the Avesta, are all picture languages.

Those Aryans who migrated to India conquered the native peoples. They kept the teaching of the ancients alive by producing the Vedas. Later, they produced Holy works known as the Upanishads, the Ramayana, the Mahabarata, of which the Bhagavad Gita is a part, and others.

The common origins of our modern day people and their relationship to the peoples of the Caspian Sea area is graphically portrayed by the chart of Indo-European languages. The languages of Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and a large part of India are all descended from this common source. Also, the main languages of North and South America as well as New Zealand and Australia, being Spanish, English and Portuguese, are of this origin.

Evidently, the language of Egypt never gained a foothold outside that country. In the present day there is little use of the language outside the confines of Egypt. The language of the Maya was for the most part replaced by Spanish.

The teachings of the ancients were passed on for thousands of years throughout the lands of the earth. Before Jesus the Christ and even before Gautama the Buddha, who was the founder of the religion called Buddhism circa 500 B.C., in the time period of approximately 800 B.C., there arose a great teacher named Patanjali. He expounded a teaching of mind and creation building on the older teachings. His teaching is referred to as the science of yoga. Yoga literally means union. Practicing yoga is a means of bringing about a union between the conscious or outer mind, and the subconscious or inner mind. Patanjali's yoga was not a yoga of the body (hatha) nor a yoga of the emotions (bhakti). Rather, this was a yoga of the mind (raja), a textbook of steps to knowing the whole Self and achieving enlightenment.

I have chosen to use the word sutra rather than verse in this book because verses combine to make a whole picture whereas a sutra stands on its own, forming a complete thought or picture. The arrangement of these complete thought-pictures or sutras produces a textbook of rational, reasoning thought toward the goal of Self enlightenment.

The root of the word sutra is to sew, or to sew with a thread. In other words, to bring together two or more parts to work into a cohesive whole. It is the same root word from which comes the word suture. A surgeon uses a suture to unite two edges of a cut or wound by stitching, in order to facilitate the process of two parts becoming one or whole again. These sutras facilitate the process of the reasoner to progress on the Spiritual path rapidly by suturing or uniting conscious and subconscious minds. Explanations, techniques, and information is given, stimulating the earnest student to use more of his total mind.

In interpreting and explaining the meaning of these great sutras, I have operated from a different perspective from other interpreters. Theirs was one of translating words, mine is one of interpreting pictures. For many years I have studied the mind and the language of the mind, the same language used to interpret dreams. These symbols of dreams, this universal language, can be transferred to any Holy book, for a Holy book by definition is whole and complete, being written in the whole or universal language. These symbolic pictures can be applied to anyone, anywhere, at anytime. My many years of dream interpretation and research have proven that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

The material herein is presented in a practical manner for the uninitiated, or those who have yet to make the commitment to their whole Self and learning, to begin the path of soul progression. Yet, as the book progresses, the teacher, the one who has passed some of the tests, finds new insights and a more expansive vision of what is to come for Self in his quest for enlightenment.

Dreams of the Soul

Why people are reading this book.....

“Dreams of the Soul is based on the writings of Hindu yoga master and teacher Patanjali, who lived about 800 B.C., predating both Christ and the Buddha. At the core of Patanjali’s teachings is the belief that enlightenment occurs when a person exerts absolute control over the mind, enabling him to gain insights at all levels of the conscious and subconscious. Interwoven with his own explanations are passages from the Bible, the Tao Te Ching, the Bhagavad Gita and other ancient writings, all aimed at teaching how to think, rather than what to think. Dreams of the Soul is perhaps as explicit a guidebook on enlightenment as exists today.”

-Albequerue Journal

“A masterful work that ties together the holy scriptures of the great spiritual masters. Dreams of the Soul unites the philosophical threads of yoga, Christianity and Buddhism. For any seeker, Dreams of the Soul serves as a useful guide in how to think.”
--Leading Edge Review


“...as explicit a guidebook on spiritual enlightenment as exists today...presents the final steps for achieving a union of the conscious and subconscious mind. ..this book is tying together the philosophical threads of yoga, Christianity and Buddhism. Condron has progressed far enough on his own personal journey to extract important insights from Patanjali’s teachings. More importantly, he has digested the information well enough to explain it in plain English and make it understandable to Western sensibilities.”
--The Albuquerque Journal


“I started reading this book thinking it had to do with dreams. I soon realized it had to do with how to wake up as a soul. This book helped me to realize the dream that all of humanity holds in common and that is enlightenment. It gives a step by step path to achieve this as well as a behind the scenes look at who we really are. It made me wonder what the dreams of the spirit were and what the dreams of God are.”
--Paul Madar, Director of School of Metaphysics

BOOK I: The Initial Steps of Self Awareness
Learning How to Learn

Book One presents the essence and framework of what is needed to know the whole mind. Book One begins by explaining the subject matter of this section which is creation and alignment of the minds. Following Book One come three books that provide the details and technical aspects of knowing the mind. Every sutra that follows explains these two key factors. This is very similar to the Bible in as much as the first chapter of Genesis explains and presents the plan of creation. All the rest of the chapters and books of the Bible present the activity and steps necessary to become a Creator.

Continuous practice is the determined application, every day, of undivided attention and the use of the will. From this practice, development of memory occurs. The objectivity of undivided attention entails perceiving the essence of situations and circumstances using them to the fullest, without being limited by anything or any form. The brain is an outer reflection of the inner organ of the mind. Will and undivided attention are keys to using both mind and brain. Will is the muscle of the mind.

Place an object, such as a pencil, on the table in front of you. Now try to pick it up. You will notice nothing occurs. Next, pick up the object. Realize, before you were able to move the pencil, you made a decision and created a mental image in your mind’s eye of picking the pencil up off the table. Next, you followed the mental image with action. There is no such thing as try! You either do one action or you do something else.
