Castle in the Sky or Clouds of Shattered Dreams
One may build up dreams for years, but it takes only seconds to shatter them away. We all form dream castles of hopes founded on the clouds of desire throughout our lives. It does not do much good to live in cloudy imaginings and forget to live for real though. But is so nice and cozy to rest on the wings of imagination and fly away to the places of faiths, comfort, and no worries. However, the storms of reality are out there and every one of us must eventually face them. There is no need to be afraid; let life's storm shatter you. When the storm comes it will tremor your core and make you soul wide-open. Being open by the storm is the only hope. When you are at the pick of the turmoil and despair you get to discover what really is inside of you. Some people will never have a chance to see who they really are; what truly is inside of them. What power, what courage, what truth and what lies. Regrettably, some would never be opened up by the storm. So, don't run from the storm to come — run into despair, misery or desolation, whatever life brings to you. You might be very surprise to find who you truly are.
Most people know that humans have hidden extra abilities such as subconscious mind. However, only few have clear knowledge about that and even fewer may control it. That is regrettable to say the least because our subconscious mind could be a valuable tool in succeeding our life’s aspirations. It is not easy to connect directly and work with our subliminal mind. Our conscious mind is the guardian to the gates of the subconscious. One must become conscious and aware of this concealed, enigmatic part of us, and the part it plays in our life. That is the conscious mind’s job to make sure that only the highest quality thoughts have access to the subconscious. The concept is very simple; the higher quality of conscious thoughts and emotions we feed to our soul, the higher quality of subconscious support one will get back. A subconsciously unsecure and fearful person will not, most likely, achieve a standing that requires bravery and open-mindedness. When one understands that whatever thoughts and beliefs one feeds to the subconscious will manifest in our life rather sooner then later, one becomes very thorough in controlling and leading one’s thoughts.
The imaginary castle that might resemble one of Wonder Worlds based on the New Swan-stone Castle which is a nineteenth-century Romanesque fortification in Bavaria, Germany. It was the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle as well. Here, it is a reminder of the source of our dreams and aspirations – our childhood. Why do you think we dream about romantic castles? I think they are our subconscious symbols of protection, safety, and solitude. We are all still kids; one is more other is less. Even though, all those little ballerinas, cinderellas, and astronauts will become one day sales managers, office workers, or taxi drivers. But it is okay because the beauty of life is; we are all still looking forward to the future, no matter how old.
