Wow. Rediviva on "Dream" http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/1005#post-21392 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 10:25:43 +0000 Rediviva 21392@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ "All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream"... How 'bout that for starters... But of course there's more to dreams than that. The true dreams are the precognitive ones, maybe one or two of you above have recapitulated such ones. Me myself I have seldom the peace to lie still after waking, trying to remember. Maybe it's a thing to practice. I come to think about german author Ernst Jünger. In his diaries he recapitulates dreams in vivid detail... something to strive for. starion on "Dream" http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/1005#post-21368 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:30:10 +0000 starion 21368@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ Once before stated this: the conscious mind maintains the identity of the person in the body... apart from the great consciousness. To speak as a person, the conscious mind says "I am...this. I am that..." and can identify the body, emotions, pain, daily activity and history of the body. The subconscious mind lies between conscious and the great collective. The subconscious mind has a ton of information but no way to quantify it except through the conscious mind. If you ask the subconscious mind a question, it can answer. Give it a job to do and it will do it upon demand. Unfortunately the subconscious cannot organize itself. It is confused about dates, times, and whether 1950 comes before 1952... The subconscious cannot linearly deal with time; it dreams tomorrow and yesterday juxtaposed. So knowing the future is part of the known...as well as remembering pasts...and being in several places at the same time... abstractprophet on "Dream" http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/1005#post-21359 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 22:28:23 +0000 abstractprophet 21359@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ cool thread seeker... :) i love the dream state and believe it reveals much on many levels... :) maybe one could ask here what is the difference between 'waking' dream and 'sleeping' dream... ;) one could also consider who is it that juxtaposes identities on 'others' wether waking or sleeping... what thought does not originate from the sea of conciousness??? and what does this imply??? *********** "The Dreaming means our identity as people. The cultural teaching and everything, that's part of our lives here, you know?... it's the understanding of what we have around us."

I dream of a visit from my mother (dead now 10 years) in which we speak as if nothing has changed.... Once a month my family and I share a dream... dreams are not just "I's" but they do channel through me... Dreams permit me to get updates with people I've not seen in years. starion on "Dream" http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/1005#post-21350 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 14:51:42 +0000 starion 21350@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ I once had a marvelous dream. I had a dilemma I wished to solve and took my dilemma to bed with me... In the middle of the night, my dream solved the dilemma. I dreamed I was in the center of a circle of 12 "me's", each with a different opinion. Each me told me the reason for their solution; each me was just as valid as the next. I, sitting in the center of the circle listened to each of "my" opinions and chose the one best respresenting me and that was my solution when I awakened the next morning. Some dreams are not just dreams. Some are visits from other personalities and the other does have a message... Yes and I do dream of others as well. I am not the only I in my dreams... Some dreams are multi-levelled as well, with one event on the top level, connected to a second underlying event (perhaps at another place in time) connected just below with another underlayment...like layers of carpet on a floor. selfseeker on "Dream" http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/1005#post-21345 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:57:07 +0000 selfseeker 21345@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ Analysing the dreams gives a strong insight into "how ONE becomes MANY". A dream is like a drama in which several characters take part. Scientific explanation of dream is that the "story" & the "characters" in a dream are creation of mind taking impressions from our expreriences in real life in the past. Now, let's analyse this "dream" thing. All dreams are created by "me", within "me", wholly with the materials of "me" ( stimulants may be from outside but they are just stimulants, actual thing has to be created out of "me" only), therefore, the dream cannot be anything other than the "me". So whatever comes in the dream is just a part of "me"( or say, different manifestations of "me") .... that includes the story, the characters, their specific roles, dialogues etc. So, just one "me" manifests itself into "many" which apparently look completely different. Now, the greatest surprise is not this. Say, in a dream there are two characters ... one "me" & the other "my friend". The "me" in the dream gives a sense of real "me" in the dream too but not "my friend" in the dream. "My friend" in the dream acts as a separate individual on his own ... in fact, "he" sometimes does things which not expected by "me". How does he do like that ? If he is just a charater of a story written by my mind, his act should be known to "me" ... which is not the case. So, there must be an "I" in him too, apparently different from my "I", to be able to act in such an indendent manner. If my "I" is not making him "live" & a "separate entity" who/what does it ? Where does this seemingly independent "I" come from ? This must come from "me" as there is no one else ! There is another surprise too. Though there is already an "I" in the dream, there is another who is watching the whole dream ... as if the "I" has got divided into two. Many a times, the "I" of the dream doesn't exactly behave as the "I" in reality. .... How can "I" play multiple roles & maintain separate individualities all at the same time. How is it logically explained ? The only logical explanation can be that what appears as "I" is capable of manifesting itself in multitude maintaining separate individualities in its different roles, all at the same time which we are unable to understand. Doesn't that gives an insight into the mystery behind this whole "creation" ? thiefdread on "The eternal dream" http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/topic/459#post-9619 Sat, 04 Aug 2007 12:45:47 +0000 thiefdread 9619@http://collectionofthoughts.com/bbpress/ At night. When the hours are tight. I saw a thought become a dream. When I woke it was like I'd never sensed before. This bizarre dream; there were people I knew, there where obscure situations and I had the feeling someone was trying to warn me of something. A darkness. A dream that never ends. As if someone was trying to eat my soul. There was a voice commenting the different situations. This voice talked as if I had to believe every word it was saying. This voice ruled my dream... When I woke I fealt I'd sunk into my soul and everything I ever experienced disappeared. This new truth. A calling. As if someone had left me.

Don’t you want to be free of them? There is only one way to get there, and there is no other time than now. Compared to nonexistence you are an absolute miracle of construction and divine, infinite in your complexities and potentials, realize this, utilize the infinite potentiality of reality to expand your being, you can go anywhere, in any direction up or down, choose the path of ascension, the path of mastery, the path of love, and strike out on that path as if life were a dream, and you were lucid dreaming. Read about as many spiritual pursuits as you can fathom, even if you just learn a little, (http//www.sacred-texts.com), study them, practice them, find the similarities in them, the core issues that permeate all practices and practice them, for they are the truth that can not be diluted by words. Meditate, you do not need to learn how, just meditate, sit in silence, ignore your thoughts or brush them away like gnats when they arise, eventually your thoughts will rise up like shadows in a pitch dark room, unnoticed forgotten. Practice meditation often, but start small, like once a week for 20 minutes; study your breath, slow your breath, control your breath, lose yourself in the process of focusing on the act of breathing and making yourself take the longest slowest inhalations and exhalations as possible, all mind will fall away, the cares of this life, will fall from you like cherry blossoms in a summer storm. Meditation will clear your mind, remove the mud from the boots of your being, and cleanse the mirror of self so that the true self will be reflected back. Meditation takes you beyond the drama of your current life and brings you back into your natal or natural state of present being, the state of being you were as an innocent child, mixed with the cleverness of maturity. We do not seek the 6th sense, we seek the Pre-Sense, the Presence of simply being in a state of watchful wonder and silence. Truth lives here, for it is here that everything simply is as it is. You should save up and travel, or find an art form that you can create to keep you funded and travel, for you are the world, and each new part of the world you go to, teaches you about a part of yourself you may not have been aware of, walk in the Andes, touch the Amazon river, stand on the Falkland islands amidst Johnny Rooks, Penguins and Albatross in the tens of thousands. Take a boat across the sea, jump out of an airplane, learn a martial art, read a book, take a swim, everything in life evolves you, teaches you grows you, sitting still, doing nothing is the only thing that does not teach you, though it aids you in understanding what you have learned, and the deepest state of do nothing meditation will teach you the infinite ness behind the finite details of worldly life. Challenge yourself, over come these challenges, do things that amaze you, hike for a week, climb a mountain and see the world with the eyes of a god, swim across the lake, climb the highest tree, jump from the water fall, learn to do a back flip, stand on your head, learn the harmonica, learn to salsa, learn to love, learn to learn, to teach yourslef what you are capable of, to teach you that potential + intention / perspiration = evolution revolution. Do all of this to make yourself TRULY confident by the laws of understanding having experienced all that it is you can do. You should do many things to change your habits and keep your life in an ever flowing and natural state of change or ascension, you should not try to stop spring from becoming summer, or prevent summer’s inevitable fall. Command and Conquer new goals to give you solid evidence of what you are capable of in all facets of your life. Write down on a sheet of paper or in a special book devoted to your personal mastery, everything that makes you wonderful, everything that makes you an incredible creature. Picture first, a world full of Amoebas, that’s all there is Amoebas, now picture an Infinitely Potent and Loving God sculpting you, breathing life into you, and dropping you down into the middle of this world of Amoebas. What would make you greater than them? What would be your attributes of divine resplendence, even if you were just a fat and lazy slob with a 52 IQ? Compile this list, of everything that in relativity to nothing, makes you a miracle, your smile, your laughter, your doodles, your song, your glowing eyes, and opposable thumbs, your lustrous hair and your ability to dream, the ability to create anything, build fire, write songs, run fast, jump far, kung fu, dance, play, giggle and joke, and cry and pour your heart out in the pain of too much tenderness. There is Divine Glory in Everything for God is In Everything, you can only have an Infinite reality if all things are Infinite, for one finite thing puts an end in an Infinity that can know no ends, so YOU are as INFINITE AS GOD AND ALL THINGS!!! What is a full spectrum of white light, without every single unique color? If one dies, if one isn’t there, there is no white light, and isnt every hue as individual as it is one with all others in the heart of white light? Write this letter of thanks to God, and read this letter often, read it out loud, read it to the God above or The God Within, Your Higher Self, your Fully Manifested Christ Being, is at this time, owing to the nonlocality of time, where in all space and time are in different places and at yet in the same time and place, Alive and thriving in a heaven beyond your dreams, right now as of this moment in time, Your Higher Self is Thinking about you, smiling about you, shining infinite love upon you, and remembering how far you have Come and how gloriously far you have to go. Write your letter to God and to Him, Give Praise to God For Everything He Has Given and then Pray to your Higher Self for Guidance into the depth of Gods Mystery. Make copies of this letter, and burn them, burry them, plant them in trees or put them in bottles tossed out to sea, catch a sleeping eagle and tie it to its wing, snare it on a string to a helium balloon and send it to the heavens above or an Icarus grave, but if you do anything, just read it often, for it will fill you with your spirit, attune you with the true glory of all it is that you are and are becoming, this is best medicine. Real Eyes, You are Divine, you have Grand Mastery within you, you have behind your bones an eternal and powerful identity so deep and full of character as to not be containable in one Time and Space, an Eternal Hue in the Full Spectrum of Existence, and it is a Piece of God, a Facet of God, a Face of God. You are God, Realize This, the only thing that keeps you from being this is the level of your denial and unfamiliarity with this, if the whole world chose to realize this tomorrow, the entirety of human existence would be devoted to the expansion of our awareness of this, and Heaven on Earth would Reign. Get to it, great world changes begin in individuals, follow your Path, follow your Heart, follow the secret hidden dreams of a future day in paradise, know that everyone has these dreams, everyone can remember a future day in heaven in some irrational part of themselves, it guides every artists hand and every dreamers dream. Love is the key, learn to Love yourself, for you are an infinitely potential and amazing miracle of existence, a Nuclear Powered Electromagnetic Biological Time and Space Suit full of Spirit and Consciousness and The Fiery Light of Love, you can do what all great men and women in history have done and infinitely greater. Jesus was reputed to have said “Even the lowliest among you, shall do these things I have done and Greater.” Whether it was said by him or not, it was said by someone, and it is true. Love and Become One With Your Inner Universe, and by the laws of Infinity the Laws of Affinity, you will Become Loved and One with the Outer Universe. Love yourself, for you are your self, you are God in the infinitely rare and unique flavor of you, you can do any thing, you can create any thing, you can become any thing, compared to a paramecium, compared to nonexistence you are heaven incarnate, compared to nonexistence every painting ever painted, every work of art ever created is God. \/ There is only one size, and it is infinite. Love. when you look without you will remain without when you look within, you will find yourself within God and God within you... every spiritual tradition on earth has spoke to the inner divine, find it with the magnifying glass of love, the path of love, the cause of love... within you there is a way of being, a way of seeing all things as beautiful, a way of loving all things... when you find this way, or simply choose to pretend to be this way, you find yourself on the path to understanding your Highest Possible State of Will or Being, your Highest Will, is God's Will for you, just as the highest will of the hand is your use for the hand, the hand can think it is worthless and useless and fall in to paralytic atrophy, or it can give in and surrender to the will of its God and paint ten thousand master pieces. God's Will For You, is Love and Expansion... God or the Infinite Consciousness of the Infinite understands that you are as Infinite as It and as Worthy... you can eek away through life, as a nationalist, a racist, a fool, you can scrounge on the bottom of life, looking for the scraps you can gather with your own two hands, or you can simply look up, open your eyes to love, and find the infinite bounty of all divine creation waiting for you, waiting to become you, for you to become it. its all about choice, will, intent, and if you Love, and learn to Love More, all things will be handed to you, for when you Love, You Become One with the Organism of the Cosmos, You Become One with the One Unfolding of the Cosmos Flower, and All the Power of the Unfolding Cosmos Will Be Given Unto You, that You May Aid in Its Unfolding in Joyous Service and Love.. Inlakesh Namaste and Espavo May the Light of Truth Forever Illuminate All That You See, and Lead you steadfast into the understanding of all you can not. fall plum petals fall and leave behind the memory of scent.
