Dreams

This is what Wikipedia has to say, (in part,) about dreams:

“A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, although they have been a topic of scientific, philosophical and religious interest throughout recorded history. Dream interpretation is the attempt at drawing meaning from dreams and searching for an underlying message. The scientific study of dreams is called oneirology.”

Part of what is stated in the definition above, “…usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.” Key points to consider are that it occurs involuntarily and it occurs in the mind. The point that led me to write this is because I realized last night during one of my dreams, in which I was running away from someone for fear of being caught, that there was no “someone” to be running away from. That is to say, I was making it up in my mind. The amazing thing to me is that we are so good at doing this making up stuff, that we get immersed into it so thoroughly that we experience fear, joy, anxiety, dread, etc. via the dreamscape we’ve created within our own mind. So, no one was chasing me, I was doing that to myself.

Then I wondered why do I do this to myself? Why do I envision such scenarios which cause me to feel like I have to escape, to run away? If I am making this up within my own mind, I could just as easily make it a wonderful experience. The thing is, when dreaming, one has to realize whatever is happening doesn’t involve anyone else it is all within the mind. Once I realized this, the fear and need to run away vanished.

How much of that realization could we bring into our waking state in being? How much of what we experience in our waking life expression is self-induced? I’m going to venture a guess that it is a lot more than we may take credit for.

When we are fully present in the here now moment by moment unfolding, where the actual experiencing is taking place, whether it is in the dream state, waking state, or some other state in being, we are in a position via this presence awareness, to make choices about how it all unfolds. That is to say, we can choose to be afraid, or not, we can choose to be happy or not. In the presence awareness, we are able to make choices which direct the course of the unfolding experience in a more life supporting, well-being engendering expression in being, or we can just ride the wave of whatever is unfolding without making a choice either way, about what is unfolding. And, without making choices, we become victims of circumstance. If one isn’t fully aware and present in the moment by moment unfolding, one is likely to get caught up in the scenario and thereby suffer the penalty associated within the unfolding experience.

I had to be aware enough to separate my awareness from the scenario, enough so that I could realize it was all within my mind, I was scaring myself, I was running away from what seemed to me to be someone I was afraid of. This reminds me of that scene in Star Wars where Luke was in that mystical sort of cave where he met and then faced off with Darth Vader. It came to pass that it wasn’t Darth Vader at all, but rather, HE was what he feared.

What is the source of dream content? I think it could be a variety of things such as, a movie or TV show we watched and got engrossed in. It could be something we ate which somehow expressed itself in our dream state. It could be caused by emotional experiences we had during the day which made a strong impression upon us.

What does that tell you? It suggests to me, being fully present in the here now moment by moment unfolding, and therein making conscious choices as it all unfolds, will facilitate the ability wherein external stimuli such as expressed above, doesn’t involuntarily write the scripts for our dreams. This may show a correlation between cause and effect as it applies not only to our dreams, but life experiencing as well.

In conclusion, what I suggest be taken away from all of these words is this; being centered in the here, now moment by moment unfolding is necessary to be the author of the scripts of our dreams and our lives. What happens to you doesn’t have to be involuntary, you get to choose whether it is or not. Alternately, you can just ride the waves of life expressing and experience whatever it is that unfolds for you whether it is perceived as good or bad by you.

If you’ve read this, you may be awake enough to make conscious choices about how your dreams and life unfolds. I hope you are, because in the Oneness in being, there is only ONE being, which means there isn’t a separate “you and me”.

God Dwells Within You AS You

In many religions, the messenger is glorified, and deified, which is a misdirection of appropriate attention. Instead of worshiping the person, worship the teachings by embodying them in your own life expression. As we adopt and embody the teachings, we are honoring and exemplifying the spirit which is and was embodied in these various forms.

The purity is within each and every one of us, that purity is our divine spark which dwells at the center of our being, and radiates its magnificence out into the manifest world through our thoughts, words, deeds and emotional beings.

The greatest expression is stated as "I am THAT I AM" in this expression, there is the embodiment of Christ, Krishna, and Buddha as me, as you, as ONE.

God dwells within you as you. This is the secret to be expressed and beheld by all. :)

Blessings to us all.

Make it So

In the Handbook for Conscious Living, you might find, somewhere in the pages, the suggestion to create the life you want to live, by first giving thanks and appreciation for the life you already have, even if you think it is a crappy life, you got to start somewhere to make it better, and the only time to choose to make it better, is in the here, now.

This season of the year, celebrates the joy in life. Let the joy in your life grow by showing your appreciation as often as possible. You could become an "appreciation fanatic"  so long as you are sincerely expressing your appreciation. As you do so, you will find more and more to be joyous and appreciative about.

So, someone wishing you a Merry Christmas, or whatever salutation of good cheer you receive, it is useless unless you make it so for yourself.

So, Make THIS Christmas and New Years season the one you will look back upon as the one which turned your life more into the Merry and Bright life you've always longed for.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY DEAR FRIENDS!
MAY EACH DAY BE A BLESSING TO EXPERIENCE AND BEHOLD.

Make it so.   🎅

FREE! FREE! FREE!

My Dad use to say, "nothing is free, there is always a price to be paid for everything." What he meant was, the price isn't always money, it is often expectation especially with things given to us for "free". So, I suggest, when someone wants to give you something for "free" ask them what their expectations are, what obligations come along with what is given? Then base your decision upon whether you are willing to pay that price. With regard to holding onto memorabilia, The stuff acts as a reminder, so how many reminders do you need? In the old days, what was treasured the most, was the human interactions, the story telling about life adventures, etc., these were the things that were handed down from generation to generation. There are no objects which hold the value of the act of holding your daughter, or son in your arms, in a loving embrace. Cherish this sort of thing. I think you will find more joy and fulfillment in expressing your love and caring for others, by being the kind and loving person people will remember and think fondly of, once you are gone. Consider what is REALLY valuable in your life. Is it the stuff you accumulate, or is it something else? When someone is offended because you no longer have space or need for something they gave you, and you give it away, or get rid of it somehow, their being offended is their problem. Don't make it yours. We let others off the hook when we don't saddle them with our unwarranted expectations. :)

Choose to be the best person you can be.

There is a lot of crap we could place our attention (energy) upon. That crap is manifest in the external world because we do not have a clean lens of perception. When we do the inner work, we clean the lens of our perception, removing the distortions from the lens, and with less distortions in our perceptive lens, we see clearly what we create, and what we create by placing our attention (energy) upon more pure expressions of our being, will result in a manifestation where our divinity is more fully realized in the external world manifestation. To bring forth heaven on Earth, we must adopt a heavenly creative attitude which expresses through our creative ability by the expressions of our thoughts, words, deeds and emotional expressions in being. No one can do it for you or me, we have to do it for ourselves. When we establish our own sovereignty, we each create heaven on Earth, one person at a time. How do we do this? Be as loving, compassionate, caring and considerate as you are able to be. Look for opportunities to express these character traits as often as possible through out the moment by moment unfolding in our life expressing. It all starts right here, right now, with the first step. It isn't a leap off a cliff, it is a little step where we each first take hold of the reigns of our own creative ability, and choose to smile, love and be happy. Choose to be kind and loving. Choose to be the best person we can be. Eventually, this will be what is reflected back to us as heaven on Earth. As the I Ching says, "Perseverance furthers." Blessings to us all.

Space and Time In the ONE, NOW

We experience time as a linear unfolding of moments, and that is just part of life expressing individual expressions in being in the here and now. In the 3D realm, there is a coordinate system; up/down, left/right & front/back, or X Y Z coordinates. These coordinates pinpoint a specific location in the physical manifestation. In Earthly terms, there is latitude, longitude and altitude, which can be applied beyond our planetary location(s). One thing which is left out of the locational information is "when." In the ever present Here, Now moment, time does not exist in the way we perceive it here as 3D life expressions, actually, there is only NOW which is ever changing, and the unfolding of changes gives the appearance of time. So, from a perspective outside the paradigm we currently are expressing in, an observer would not only realize locational information, but time locational information as well. In a space craft, as an example, what actually happens is, the space craft is always the center of expression in the here now beingness. It may appear from the outside that it is moving up or down, right or left, or backing away, or coming forward, but actually, it is always in the same NOW, but shifting coordinates in location and time so that everything moves around the ship which is relatively standing still, always in the NOW expression in being.

In the same way there are many locational coordinates, there are also many time coordinates. From our perspective as human beings, there are an infinity of potential alternate time lines, and it seems we find ourselves in the same timeline where it appears we are going through a dense energy cloud which heightens our expressions in being. Whatever our expression in being is, as we unfold moment by moment through this expression in being, the energy acts like a magnifying glass which exaggerates whatever energy expression we are currently holding. So, if one is at peace, that expression is magnified and appears to be exaggerated. If we are angry, that expression is also magnified and exaggerated in our life expressing.

In the Law of One, in the perspective as the "One", it all exists and expresses in the Here Now. So, Now and One are the same.

There is a 'Now" where the light goes on in our head and we have an awakening, an Aha moment. In the ever present Now, this Aha moment has always existed and never existed both at the same time.

In the same way, Earth's ascension has always existed and never existed both at the same time.

As an individual identity/perspective expressing in the Now, I have always existed, and at the same time, never existed as well as every derivation between those two extremes.

In answer to your question: "How is a planetary entity, Gaia for example, evolves through densities?" As the perceiver of the reality you find yourself in, from your perspective, you determine how Gaia evolves through densities. How is this possible?

Remember, Now? One? Choose to evolve, choose to ascend, choose to express enlightenment, or don't make any conscious choices and be swept along in the currents of collective consciousness as is expresses Now.

In other words, it isn't Gaia, it is you. (You are Gaia and Gaia is you.) One.

The ETs won't do it for us, we have to do it ourselves, each and every one of us have to do it ourselves. You may find guidance via various sources, but ultimately, it is always you teaching yourself via whatever means you deem appropriate for your own expression in being.

Blessings to us all!

He's not ALL POWERFUL..

You've probably seen movies, or read stories, or even heard people talk about being "all powerful". Actually, in the relative manifestation we find ourselves in at the moment, a being can only be half powerful. Why is that? Because, as a manifestation within the relative world, since there are polarities, one who professes to be "all powerful" can only be so by uniting the polar opposites in manifestation, and in doing so, no longer exists within the relative manifestation. That is to say, even if one was totally aligned with negativity 100%, that is only half the picture, there is also being aligned with the positive 100%. But that doesn't amount to 200%, but since, in a balanced state in being, 50% is the dividing point between positive and negative. That is why if an evil person says he/she is "all powerful", that can not be totally factual. In fact, there is the opposite force which is equally powerful.

As one ascends into unity consciousness, incorporating both polarities into a balanced expression in being and consciousness, such a being is not likely to inflict harm upon another, because there is no "other." And, because self preservation is such a powerful expression in being, to do harm to someone else, is the same as doing harm to yourself, which goes against the self preservation principle.

Anyone who intentionally harms another is deluded in their thinking and or motivations, they obviously don't comprehend the harm they do to others will be visited upon them.

So, while they may think they are pretty smart, I'd say they aren't because they are ignoring the truth which is all encompassing as ONE.

Blessings to us all!
