(That's where Jack and I were different. He would let his hair down, I just took mine off.) The point is, Joan Benny was there. She had a front row seat.

Jacob the Baker
by Noah Benshea"Well, will he do it?" she asked Samuel, as if Jacob weren't there. Samuel turned to Jacob. "Well, will you do it? Will you let us have some of your ideas for the bread?" Jacob grinned. "Only arrogance guards what it doesn't own!" Samuel nodded to the lady. "He'll do it." The lady returned her focus to Jacob. "Thank you," she said. ... Jacob traced his path to work on the way home. He traveled within. A small, frozen puddle of water, caught by a rock, huddled next to a curb and drew his attention.

The Dream Book: Symbols for Self-Understanding
by Betty BethardsBetty began lecturing and giving seminars on dreams when she realized that "dreams are your greatest tool for understanding yourself and your life." But most people neglect this free inner resource of guidance. "People have been asking me for this book for years," Betty explains, "and at long last here it is. I have channeled information on every symbol in the book, which as you can imagine was a time-consuming task. But I learned so much in the process! Now I gladly share this with you." "Betty's channel is her attunement to her higher self, spiritual guidance or God self. It is a vehicle for receiving insight and information which is usually beyond the reach of the conscious mind. She is quick to point out that everyone has a channel, a level or frequency of awareness called higher consciousness. Attuning to it is really listening to the teacher within or your own guidance. She believes we are particularly receptive to this level in the dream state." This book teaches the reader how to tune into the guidance being communicated through dreams.
