My Notes:
Dagaz is the counterpart to the rune Jera. Both refer to time, Jera on an
annual cycle and Dagaz on a daily cycle. Both are runes of change Jera
is a rune of gentle change, Dagaz is a rune of bold change, for example,

the burst of light at the moment of illumination. It contains within its

energies the experience called satori, a spiritual awakening experience
common in all cultures.
Archaeological evidence proves that Dagaz has been used as a symbol of
Light for more than four thousand years. It is the rune of hyperconsciousness. Achievement of this state of mind SEEMS to be a
relatively rare occurrence in human life at this stage of evolution. When
chronicled, it marks the beginnings of the mission of a World Savior on
Earth.
Much has been written on the psychology and metaphysics of uniting left
and right brain functions. Dagaz holds dominion over this union and is a
tool that gives you great potency for present awareness and future
growth. It is reminiscent of the lemniscate, the symbol of infinity, and the
moebius strip, timelessness and illimitable potential, as well as an
overturned hourglass.
The point of poise entails balancing polarities so that all mystery is
revealed to consciousness. The transformation of paradox into non-dual
awareness occurs with Dagaz energies. It is to find the center between
two extremes and maintaining a state of mind undisturbed by any
mental or emotional storm. At the center, all power is to be found and
equilibrium is a desirable attainment. This practice eventually leads to
the practitioner no longer requiring a single right or wrong answer to the
mysteries and many truths can exist complimentary to one another. No
one single belief or viewpoint is sufficient and so all beliefs and
viewpoints can be progressively abandoned. In the stillness and silent
questioning of the mind that is left behind, all truth resounds.
Dagaz can be used to gain absolute stillness. It is invisible transforming
power. The vibrational patterns of the self, or an object can be dampened
so that the perception of material things to the human eye grow faint.
Finding this point of poise takes great skill and practice with Dagaz but
mastery of this rune of enlightenment leads down the path of
disappearance. Mastery of invisibility leads to the understanding of
existence through its opposite: non-existence.

An interesting thing to keep in mind is that the futhark has no rune for
the night or for the moon. These are absences, not things. Darkness is
not darkness, it is a quality of the light. The sun is always there, it is our
world that spins around and causes the illusion that it is not. As well, the
light of the moon is a reflection of the suns light. There is little reason to
think that the ancients were not aware of this, even mathematically.
Darkness is not darkness is a wonderful saying to meditate upon, and
will reveal to the seeker that there is no true opposites as we are often
convinced of, but only polarities within the supreme mystery of
existence.
