Dreamcatcher: GoldFingers

GoldFingers

My hands and feet are made of brilliant, shining gold glowing in the night as Geoff and I walk along the water front at City Beach in my hometown. We are holding hands and kissing and laughing and having deep discussions. There is a grove of Juniper trees and we notice a path that winds inward. We follow it in and see two gaming stations, side by side, illuminated by a streetlamp above. The stations are each comprised of black reclining cushioned chairs with electronic gun holsters across from large screens with game demos running depicting naval military scenarios. Geoff and I jump into the chairs and an automatic voice prompter says “ 25 cents per play, no charge for ladies.” We start playing and I notice that it’s really difficult for me to pinch the trigger with my gold finger. My hands just don’t feel strong enough. I look over and Geoff is deep in concentration, doing really well and racking up lots of points. We both hate guns, so I joke that maybe he’s a military man after all. Suddenly, a fully decorated naval officer emerges out of nowhere and confirms my teasing comment in all seriousness. These games are a way of recruiting new troops and he thinks Geoff has what it takes. I think this is hilarious but keep a straight face. “What about me, sir? Do I have what it takes to be navy girl?” I ask. “Well… um, well… you’re just not too good with the gun.” He says. By now I have to fight exploding from laughter. I manage to fake a really disappointed pouting look. Geoff is almost losing it. The military guy marches off and we are rolling--imitating him and cracking up hysterically.

In Hindu doctrine, gold is the ‘mineral light’. According to Guénon, the
Latin word for gold—aurum—is the same as the Hebrew for light—aor (26).
Jung quotes the delightful explanation offered by the alchemist Michael Maier in
De Circulo Physico Quadrato to the effect that the sun, by virtue of millions of
journeys round the earth (or conversely) has spun threads of gold all round it.
Gold is the image of solar light and hence of the divine intelligence. If the heart is
the image of the sun in man, in the earth it is gold (32). Consequently, gold is
symbolic of all that is superior, the glorified or ‘fourth state’ after the first three
stages of black (standing for sin and penitence), white (remission and innocence)
and red (sublimation and passion). Everything golden or made of gold tends to
pass on this quality of superiority to its utilitarian function. Chrysaor, the magic
sword of gold, symbolizes supreme spiritual determination. Gold is also the
essential element in the symbolism of the hidden or elusive treasure which is an
illustration of the fruits of the spirit and of supreme illumination.
