Dream World……..
Transcript
Sometimes in your sleep you may realize that you are dreaming and there may then be a moment of awareness when you have a choice either to dream on, or return to wakefulness.
Great teachers who had knowledge of another nature often denoted our earthly life as the dream state.
Awaken you who sleep.
Two electrifying insights now confront us if we can admit them.
Firstly that there is apparently another nature. And secondly that all these goals that we pursue, and for which we work so diligently may not be real at all.
When we are fully taken up in the pursuit of these goals we keep running and running never to reach this other place, running hard to stay in the same place.
And because people with the same sort of dream gather together they create a collective dream for a collective reality knowing it must be the truth, for don't we all believe the same in our group.
Until, until your consciousness overrules your thoughts. To keep on sleeping and dreaming in this world is to be oblivious of another nature.
To awaken in this world means an awakening in the other world at the same time.
The most persistent dream of us here on earth is not to know that we dream
We populate the world as well as our own personal space with our convictions, our thought forms and our endeavours for a better future, until we are completely enmeshed in these daydreams.
But the dream may suddenly end for you, just when you least expected it. Suddenly the storyline of your book of life changes and the I character loses the way.
And funnily enough you need to lose the way to find the path.
One of the few certainties that we have is that life is full of uncertainties even though we still keep up the fiction what we think about life is a reality
This conviction that what we think must necessarily be true is precisely what keeps our dream world ticking over until we stop believing our thoughts and admit reality.
Again a shock. For in what kind of reality do I live if I become truly conscious of this eat or be eaten world. What will happen if I allow the sharp actual reality to prevail over my thoughts and suppositions about it
What will happen is that you will realize that you are dreaming, and some will hastily return to their dreams. They will make their dreams into their reality once again by switching off their consciousness and once more giving full reign to their thoughts about reality.
The courageous ones come to a halt and allow their astonishment to take root as well as an accompanying feeling of emptiness, futility and loneliness.
If we see through the dream, this emptiness is the prerequisite to be fulfilled in quite a different manner.
The real awakening takes place when we realize, which is something quite different than thinking, that our self is manufactured from ideas, beliefs and memories and that it is nothing to do with who we truly are inside.
In essence the ego is a mechanism, not a true living entity and it has a rind of resistance against the harsh actual reality.
If we would fully allow it the dream would shatter immediately.
And this ego mechanism has two arms, one to push unwelcome things away and one to grasp things. With these two it builds its own virtual world of delusion.
No wonder that the great teachers taught their pupils the middle way and imposed on them a condition of neutrality.
Maybe it is time to start practicing heart work instead of hard work.
Beautiful.
