Your’s and Becky’s relationship continues to amaze me. This twinning effect has usually indicated in my experience something new showing up or about to show up in conscious manifestation. Spiders while often scary in our culture generally aren’t dangerous. They inhabit dark places such as the subconscious. In your post they are coming out into consciousness. As you become aware of them, they disappear. In other words they may represent something you are incorporating into you conscious existence.
Good points Rob. Perhaps could indicate us integrating more with our "dark" side, or rather bringing that out more into the light so that it can be worked on, transformed, etc?
Quote:I think you’re right about there being an interpreter perceiver issue here. Of course the question is what the spiders represent and I don’t have a clue. I don’t think of spiders as being attracted to light, thought. More the opposite. I’d say your light has exposed something that’s been hidden and lurking. Bringing material into consciousness is always a good thing (Just might not feel that way sometimes).
Just a couple thoughts. - Rob
Yup, and part of the problem is that i have a dualistic perception or perspective of spiders. On one hand i see them as integral aspects of nature, which can produce beautiful creations, and on the other hand there is the poisonous, blood sucking, and lurking in the shadows aspect which is something i'm not attracted to whatsoever. Apparently some Native American cultures had a very high view of the spider, and even used the spider and its web as a symbol of the Creator.
Anyways, i agree with you about the light aspect, spiders, meaning actual real spiders are not generally attracted to light. But what i meant is, perhaps i was really viewing or sensing say a slow vibrating and lacking light consciousness which is trying to attach itself to my energy field (and maybe also Becky's?), and my left brain perceiver mind is translating it as a "spider" because to me and my mind, a spider might better represent that kind of an energy or mode of being, than most anything else, one because spiders are creatures who prey on others, suck their blood, are sometimes poisonous, and who lurk in the shadows to hunt their prey by stealthily trapping them.
I have a strong Fire energy in my chart and psyche, strong fire doesn't much like hiding, evasiveness, lurking, over subtly, etc. I tend to be rather open in my thoughts and feelings, and tend to like the same in others. I tend to have major issues with those who have strong Scorpio energies for example, because they tend to be so hidden, un-open, secretive, etc.
While an actual spider is probably not attracted to light, well sometimes it seems these low vibrating consciousnesses/beings are attracted to the light in others, and try to gain energy in a sense by
'feeding' off it, because one they sense its intensity and 2 because it perhaps is comforting on some level. But, also and more often, like attracts, begets, and likes like, and maybe there are unregenerated aspects with me or us, which originally are what attracted these energies? Either one could make sense, which is another aspect of the problem of figuring out exactly what is going on. Either way, my interpreter isn't going to pick something like moths, which are known to be attracted to light, if these are representative of harmful energies in some way. Moths to me, are pretty darn harmless.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and feelings. I probably should just look within and not ask for others interpretations.
