A digest for conscious living
Although I was able to complete my practice this morning, making the time to write this entry has been a challenge. My daughter kept us from sleeping well last night, and a grueling work day and complications with my business have made it very challenging for me to focus on maintaining clarity. On days like today when I feel overwhelmed, its easy to look at things superficially. To see things in the habitual way, as confirmations of my story and my role in it, rather than to see life through unfiltered eyes to see things for what they really are. I know that this is a process…
So if this is a dream, who is dreaming? Who is the dreamer? In a sleeping dream, one may encounter and interact with other characters that may act autonomously. In fact, one of the most powerful lucid dreaming experiences I have ever had entailed encountering a dream character that explained to me that it was ME who was a character in HIS dream. This made me realize that although I may perceive a dream as my own, every other character in the dream may be perceiving it in the same way. Upon waking however it becomes clear that all characters were reflections of one subconscious- my own.
In the same way, part of the Awakened Experience is the realization that although superficially, every person may perceive their own existence as independent we are all manifestations of one subconscious mind- and since we are being dreamed by it, it must be our own! At the deepest level we are all the dreamer. We are all one…
Exhausted… good night.
Love,
