Different Worlds

There is a brain and there is the Mind, not necessarily the same -- one the vehicle one the fuel one the receptacle one the essence one the apparent reality and one the metaphysical seem -- as Poe said, perhaps really all "A dream within a dream" --

Which writes poems? I like this view of a complicated organ and occasional headache.

And occasional tummy ache -- too much coffee inspiration and not enough sleep. But, would do it all over again. Thank you, Hilda.

There are many truths we do not know i think of The dreamtime understanding of the Aboriginal People which is unwritten so cannot be deeply Quantifed to see how changes may have happened? Not that I give great creedence to it Yet the old kernel may have had a refection of reality? As I see it only God knows all.)

Yes indeed; God knows all. For me, it is not His unwillingness to explain, but that we hear, more clearly, first our desires. Dreams are an important part of man's reality -- what we call conscious reality. There are day and night. The night ones, more often get our attention in a startling way (maybe nightmares). The day one's, intuition, folks do not recognize the connection, putting them in the nearer real-time experience category. Mystic oneness with God in prayer, meditation, are extensions of the same principal. Only God knows all, and is in all. Through-in and throughout. We live in dreamland, our thoughts! But far more easily relatable to what is happening in our everyday lives, we do not compare such mental activity to the same projected phenomenon. Anyway, as I have often said, just my opinion. And folks should do their own research, not to be troubled by anything I say.

A dream within a dream, i love that ending, how youv quoted poe here and also how deeply meaningful your poem is, made me think deep, dear joe, i love “ one the fuel one the receptacle one the essence one the apparent reality” the wisdom that flows within those lines and how you do show an understanding of all sides and shades of life is what really stands out for me. Pleasure reading you today. Sending you light always

I guess, if one lives long enough, one should learn something. Maybe, despite myself, I have acquired some wisdom:)) Thank you, IE; your comment has made my day. Blessings my friend.

Hi Tom; thank you. I think we all started with Poe and Shakespeare. Stirring our souls and imaginations...which led us to the study of God. The Bible not only truth, but glorious poetry! In the bible: "Sophia" wisdom.
