Love Finds


"Love Finds" 

dissolving 
has it’s upside
just as a caterpillar 
disintegrates
wings push us through
the open mind

leaving the illusion
of one life left behind

love
finds

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

Indeed, we as dreamer (subject) are also the thought conjured dream object, so real within the dream. The question then is, who needs to awake, the dreamer or the dreamed? Thus, if life is a dream, seeming real, how may we as the object imagined by our hidden self awake within the dream? An impossibility? No, there is a way.

We may take a cue from our dreams during the sleeping state. First, in the slowest vibration, which is what we call waking, we cease to react, becoming a witness to thoughts and emotions. As we go along, this becomes our orientation. Then, in the higher vibration of sleep state, since our core is nonchalant, we cease to react to whatever appears. We can then transcend the dream which is then lucid, we steer the sequence. Back to waking state, the boundary between the manifest and unmanifest, between form and space, it blurs, melds. We wake up. All’s enabled by grace of course. The rabbit hole goes in deep. Check out Turiya and Turiyatita

RESPONSE to - "if life is a dream, seeming real, how may we as the object imagined by our hidden self awake within the dream? An impossibility? No, there is a way." Before I fully respond to this, I will also take into consideration those who are in the most horrendous and dire situations, where 'detachment' is very necessary to escape immeasurable pain (psychological, physical or both), in their external Life, to find themselves more free and separate from pain, to exist and live in their dream (internal life).

In an ideal world, the answer to your question is very simple - "Live the Dream" and in a sense, that requires walking away, separating from the norm of what is expected and programmed into us. That requires strength and courage, in oneself. To "Live the Dream" also requires full belief in oneself, our higher self. To find one's higher self, requires a certain amount of isolation and separation (from others) and usually intense internal auditing. My answer is Live the Dream. Very interested to hear your answer/thoughts to your own question.

hmmmmm, I think I need a 2nd coffee (strong), while I consider what you proffer wise sage. I shall come back in due course with my addled thoughts (which may or may not be considered, 'delusional'). I do like comments that challenge my thoughts and feelings. So thank you.

"A wise man recognising that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering". Buddha
