If you keep thinking about a specific event or person, ask yourself what did you do to cause that event, or what character attributes do you like or dislike about the person. These are reflections of your own emerging unconscious. Or you may have an experience today or later this week that shows you what you need to know.
Or you may have already answered your own question — do not question, be open and allow things to happen naturally. I hope this helps.

The sounding of a bell is a signal that informs you of something; the start or end of mass or class, an emergency, a wake-up call or, in the case of the old town crier, to grab attention before making an announcement.
Everybody knows that! The Symbolic Meaning of Bells in World Religions The official explanation of symbolic meanings given by religious institutions is misleading. Including your head! Of course, this is not true.
But negative thoughts are ruining your life hint. The clapper is the male phallus. We, therefore, see the ancient idea of duality that consistently occurs throughout ancient wisdom. They often use the male and female analogy to present the idea of balance and union.

Pre-Hispanic Village and the Reduccion Program. When the Spaniards came to the island of Samar, one of the major difficulties they encountered was the Samarenyo settlement pattern. The natives were greatly dispersed. Though pre-Hispanic natives speak of bungto, there were no towns yet, if by town we mean a concentration of houses with street divisions.
No, there was none. The Samarenyos found it difficult to live afar from their fields. One of the revolutionary steps the Spaniards embarked on was to engage in a program called reduccion. Here, people were asked to adapt themselves to a town planning in which the church and the convent stand in front in front of the church plaza, and around the latter were the houses of the prominent men and other inhabitants. A town must also have a tribunal and a cemetery. It was always a source of pride and prestige for a village to have these basic structures and to have a resident priest.
No pueblo or municipality could be established without them. In fact, during Spanish time, when there was a dearth of clocks and no sound system, it is not an exaggeration to say that the life of the village somehow revolves around the bell—it rang to tell them to gather for the Mass, to pray the Angelus, to succor the souls in purgatory during the anima , to tell the time, to announce big events, to signal emergencies, to wan of Moro raids or impending disaster.
Thus, the bell was an integral part of the Filipino village. Its sound was the only one that could be heard by all. Nobody could escape it, since people lived bajo las campanas. No wonder, when the bells of a parish did not ring, it is as if the town were dead.
When I was young, my mother used to say, there is something missing when the church bell does not ring. It is like Viernes Santo , when the death of our Lord is commemorated and bells are loudly silent.
Church Law on Bells. Perhaps, one might wonder, how many bells should a parish have? According to the law of the Church at that time, a parish should have at least two or three church bells. It is not surprising, then, that Balangiga had three of them at the end of the Spanish regime. Various Styles of Ringing the Bells. But why three bells?
The reason is that, the differences in the manner of ringing them, and the number of bells employed indicate the nature of the celebrations and its rank in the hierarchy of celebrations. One can assume that during the Spanish period, the Balangiganons, just by listening to the pealing, knew and easily distinguished whether the bells were rang for mass, for angelus, for fiestas, for animas, for those in agony, for a dead man or dead women, or child, or for an impending disaster.
Knowing Church practice, one can assume that it was more likely that not just one but all the three bells were rang during the attack on the American camp in Balangiga on Sept. A Double-Dead Town. When the Americans came back to Balangiga after the bloody affair, the town was dead. It was almost deserted.
But not long after, the place became double-dead, because all its bells were transported elsewhere. The town was deprived of an essential element of their bucolic life—the tolling of the three bells. Understandably enough, the effort to bring back the bells did not simply reflect a longing for them a priceless heritage.
For a people of faith, it was an effort to reclaim an essential part of religious and cultural life. But now that the bells are here, what does that mean for a people of faith? Bells are symbolic of the harmony existing in the society. It acts as a medium between heaven and earth, bells and especially their clappers, represent communication and suspension between humans and God. New church bells have been dedicated and even baptized before being used. One legend states that the townspeople of Lochen, Holland neglected to baptize two church bells.
So one day, the Devil grabbed these bells and buried them in the bottom of two ponds outside the town. Even today, on Christmas Eve, these bells may be heard ringing at midnight. In other European towns, the ringing of bells from churches that were swallowed up by earthquakes during worship services may be heard by putting one's ear to the ground on Christmas Eve.
