A Most Peculiar Phenomenon

The Dreamer becomes identified with the dream character.....and as a

dream character......tries...in vain...to awaken.

 

The dream character has the right idea but it wastes its imagined

efforts in a realm.....and on a character...... that simply does not

exist.

 

When the One that is dreaming awakens.......the dream

disappears.....It.....like all dreams...... only ever existed within

conceptual thought.

 

Nothing exists beyond the dream......Awakening is the clearifying of

the dream character.

 

The character continues until its allotted energy is expended....but

the dream now.......mysteriously is seen for what it isn't......It is

experienced by an edgeless-liquid-lucidity that defies conceptual

description.....because It is the Ultimate out of which all

description emerges.

 

 

 

 

Well..........my little friend............

 

That is as close as words can come ...........

 

 

 

 

 

What can you do with this information?

 

As a dream character you can stuff in your pillow......to soften your

fitfull-fearfull dream.

 

 

 

 

or: Understand that.................

 

 

 

As the One Dreamer.....you already know this.........and much....much

less.

I suppose then . . . . as they say,

 

" It's OK to play your part as an actor in the play,

as long as you don't identify with the role.

 

So go to the movies, get some popcorn and diet coke, and just sit and

watch.

multiple choice:

 

 

 

 

 

i.

 

 

 

the dream that it is all

 

but a dream.

 

" only a dream "

 

(what a relief!)

 

 

 

ii.

 

 

 

the reality that it is all

 

actually the reality.

 

" face it "

 

(oh, no!)

 

 

 

iii.

 

 

 

the " compassionate " compromise

 

that some is real and some is dream.

 

" all things in moderation "

 

(walk the " middle path " with " others " )

dream-speak.....and then ...................

 

watch the dream implode.

kissed on the forehead....

THE DANCE

 

i.

 

In the beginning

the world opened

and I fell to earth

here I sat

wondering,

miracles of how clouds

float by

and how the sky fits the earth

 

ii

 

There's a light in the window

a candle is flickering...

 

when I was a moth,

I fell in love

with its fire,

 

when I was a believer

I looked into the darkness

into shadows dancing

into the long lonely night

when I was a song we sang

I became One ... with the Light ... in any window.

 

iii.

 

I am learning how to live in the abyss

of myself

flying ever-so-often

with a flock of seagulls

just inside my awareness,

just outside my window,

here,

where the wind lifts me

and carries me home.

 

 

 

 

Bows to " You " .
