Dream or Reality?

Do you lucid dream? I do. Lucid dreams feel as real as “real life”. As a kid I had a recurring nightmare. It was terrifying, and each time I lived it, my fear controlled the outcome. Then one night I observed myself in the dream; I realized I was dreaming and did not have to be a victim in it. At that point my fear dissipated and I directed the dream for a different outcome. The nightmare stopped.

Now look around you at what is happening in the world. Be an objective observer. You have the power with your mind to effect the outcome, as long as you do not become a slave to someone else’s narrative about what reality is or “should be”. We can direct our reality, even when it appears that we cannot. This takes focus.

You Are Big

We live in a world where there are those who would do anything to make us believe we are small, our potential limited. Nothing could be further from the truth.

You are big.
You are part of everything.
Your potential is infinite.
Or, as Rumi so poetically put it,
“You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”

Real Life

Life is about so much more than just surviving. As of late, however, we are increasingly being conditioned to believe that is all that is important.

Personally, my concern is that the longer we drift from our hold on what really living life means, we will forget.

What does life mean to you? Do you take stock of what makes life feel fulfilling? Certainly our dreams, big and small, have taken a real beating this year. We must keep a firm grasp on those and not let them go. Our dreams are what shape our futures. And whatever anyone may tell you to the contrary, you have the right to live your dream.

Your Compass

Do you follow your own inner compass, or do you tend to follow what the crowd decides? Humanity is unsettled in a way that it never has been before. We are being confronted with major moral dilemmas and choices.

Part of the current awakening in humans is realizing that we can indeed make our own choices. Our souls are intrinsically self-governing before we enter this life. But, this is a world where we are taught that we must accept external man-made rules without question.

We have the right to question. We are free, as soon as we believe we are.

Simplicity’s Wealth

Life in modern society has a high price tag of stress, long work hours, broken families. Many of us are discovering that our lifestyles are not giving us quality of life. Our value systems are very broken.

It’s time to adopt a simpler, yet richer, way of living. As Henry David Thoreau said, “Simplify, simplify.”
