The Dream v Being Awake

[Chris TurleParticipant]

The concept of living in a dream and not being awake is hard for the mind to comprehend because the mind of the little me ‘thinks’ it is awake after a sleep. I mean that makes sense yes?
Its so obvious to our minds that we aren’t asleep and dreaming when we are awake
Experientially this feels right

This confused me for a long time but this morning I had a sartori moment – and the whole concept of dreaming took on a new meaning

The hook in this concept for me was this:
When we are awake as far as the mind is concerned we are involved with the world of form
And the world of form is always changing
Time ages everything and ultimately destroys it
Form comes in to existence and then goes out of existence – this is a fact
and this is common to all life – animal human vegetable mineral
Its hard for the mind to connect with this because it is engaged with being connected to this current temporary state
The mind and thought is bound by the temporal world where change is always being experienced
and – That IS the dream

The main concept here is ‘Change’
The dream involves change

Becoming conscious of this enables us to think about what doesn’t change – as an opposite concept
What does not change is the present moment
The present moment when you look at it in context of all other present moments is always the same – There is no change in this
Wherever you are – whatever you are doing – whatever forms you are surrounded by – the one unchanging concept is that the present moment is always just that – The Now
and along these same lines
Every person experiences the same experience of the present moment – the Now

This means that we are all the same
Remove form and circumstance and thought
Awaken from the dream of that – because that is the truth of what the dream is
and we are all living in the present moment – now
As One
All consciousness is one
This is not a dream
This is the reality of the ‘One Life’

So if we are all in the NOW constantly
and are all the One Life
Then if one of us dies
The One Life is still going on

A living entity comes in
A living entity goes out
But the Consciousness of Life remains intact through everything else still alive
Life lives through us
and all entities supportive of life on a myriad of scales
It doesn’t matter what it lives through
Life finds its place to be life
We are simply hosts to Life

and this is Awareness
Not the dream
It is simply the truth

Life will still be alive when we are all gone – when every rock plant mineral is dead life will be eternally living elsewhere – and that is you and me
Because we are life

Form and thought got in the way of this incredible truth which liberates us completely
The dream – which involves constant change – got in the way of something which never changes
Life Consciousness

My friends we are all one
and we are all eternal

Thats Awake

Hi Chris,
This is a very good realization. Everything is changing, changing, changing. Focus on what never changes. That is your True Nature and the True Nature of everything you perceive as changing. What we see is not what it appears to be or what we think it is.
I am happy for this realization, My Friend.
