Live the Dream

Ask someone who is living a dream what it feels like.  The person tells you that the description has the less momentum, intensity and realness about it than the experience itself.  Its inevitable.  When you step outside awareness of the moment, it loses something for you are no longer here.

Notice when you love what you are doing, time collapses or you lose a sense of time.  When you do not even like what you are doing, time seems to drag out and the experience lasts far too long.  Time is a gauge.  How much you spend on something reveals an unconscious priority.  Whether you notice time or not also tells you a lot about how real something it for you.  A dream is often viewed as something surreal, something to work toward.  Yet, it is also a feeling or state of being. 

Feel what it is to be truly alive

Every moment invites you to find fun and light-heartedness in whatever is happening. Feel your way into what enables you to be truly alive. Let the soul be your pilot. Imagine no limitations, no doubt. Tickle yourself, crack a smile, come what may.

Be aware that as you let go of pockets of resistance, what you dream arises instantly. You are all that stands in the way of not loving every moment to the fullest. Be bold, daring. Discover what is beyond your wildest imagination. This is an open invitation.

Appreciate the depth of illusion

If the urge arises to shatter all illusions faster, the depth of Earthly experience lessens. Notice what is flowing through the lens of experience as well as the self-created filters. Appreciate the complexity of the dream, why you choose to be here now. Every layer is a timeless teacher.

Go with it or observe only

Thoughts hold no power over you except when you allow yourself to believe you are your thoughts. You can continue forging relationships with certain thoughts, allowing them to shape your life with subtle influences.  You can listen to voices that prompt you to believe thoughts are real or, you can see them all as temporary visitors and read into instructions for good karma.

As you open existing awarness, you see what is happening in thoughts and feelings. In this state, you still sense division.  As you sense the watcher and what is watched, you are susceptible to moodswings and doubt. You may sense you are about to lose something precious.  Ask the heart whether what is real can ever be lost. Why does the mind vex and fear losing what is unreal? 

At a certain point, you no longer identify with streams of thought. You no longer observe life, a dream. Suddenly, you go with the flow and are it. Undivided attention arises. Almost no effort is required. Joy arises in the space of silence.  Achieve the Shanti you really are.

Dare to dream

Unconditional love and support exist for every level and layer of the dream.  Be aware that the mind is dreaming based on how it comes to view the external world and attach to it, and there's also more. There's more than what you think you want and how you think you feel.

Imagine the sun is a cell where speeds faster what humans understand as the speed of light is transformed into something slower so that it can manifest as physical light.  Imagine physical rays of the sun code and decode images that take form as your reality.  Much like shutters on a camera, you selectively allow holograms into your own changing scope of awareness. In this way, the Earth acts as the platform or holodeck for the playing out of life.

As you stop trying to achieve, stop contemplating what is next for you in travel, work, relationships or other opportunities, you see every dream is realized with perfect timing.  To aspire to future goals is to take attention away from the present.  Watch what happens as mind is peaceful. Insight and wisdom arise.  Questions are answered before being asked.   Be nobody going nowhere. Be with yourself.  See things as they truly are without distortion.
