The D Scale

May 20th, 2011

What resides on the other side of amnesia is the fact reality is the dream mind is dreaming, featuring everything ‘going on’ as content in this dream. Once seen, it is clear ‘everything’ can only be content in this mind generated dream. Reality displays where every dreamer in this dream falls on “The D Scale,” in which D stands for duality. At zero D, the dream features the dreamer ‘awake in the dream,’ or flat with the fact nothing going on has anything to do with people because that’s not possible if right now can only be a mind generated dream.

Once it’s clear right now is only a mind generated dream, all the dreamers in this dream are transparent: each one displays how much it depends on duality to defend the lie separation from mind is possible. Mind is dreaming a charade featuring the dreamers defending the fiction duality will work to prove the dreamers are real people, having real lives outside the dream mind is dreaming. If mind is unitary and absolute, then mind features the dreamers relying on the fiction duality will prove defection from mind is possible. This charade mind is dreaming requires the fiction duality is real to give this charade longevity. » Read more: The D Scale

Another Look at Suffering

May 12th, 2011

There is a lot of suffering in the world. You don’t have to look too far to see it. If you suffer, you wonder why it occupies such a huge part of your life. You wonder what it would take to make it go away. Most people medicate — and learn to live with it, facing good and bad days. One day we are up and the next day we are down. One day we are happy, and suddenly, inexplicably, we are unhappy. We write this off as “mood swings,” and dismiss if as a “chemical imbalance.” The truth is, we not only live with suffering, we don’t want to know what suffering is all about. We avoid looking at the origin of suffering because we suspect, or almost know, that the exploration of suffering will take us places we avoid like the plague. » Read more: Another Look at Suffering

Charade Talk

May 2nd, 2011

When the dream features you awake, you realize the dream manifests as ‘reality,’ accurately reflecting where all the dreamers in the dream are with the fact truth not only exists, it is absolute. Right now, for example, is truth (the dream) happening as what shows up as content in the dream. Every dreamer in the dream is transparent because there is nothing else to be if right now is a dream. The dream reveals who is awake in the dream (often smiling and amused), who is waking up in the dream, who is in trance in the dream, and who is firmly entrenched in the skit they occupy in the dream to do personhood believably. The dream features “The Spectrum of Delusionality.” » Read more: Charade Talk

Consciousness is What Right Now Is

April 13th, 2011

Waking up takes place in the dream when it does, either gradually, one layer of ignorance after another, each one falling prey to the fixed fact that truth is absolute, or all of a sudden, in which the dreamer shifts from the ‘the agony of Samsara’ to the stark simplicity of ‘Nirvana.’ Both represent degrees of awareness in the dream mind is dreaming.

Consciousness, aka ‘right now,’ accurately displays where all the dreamers in this dream are with the fact truth is absolute. Within the context of truth, what there is to witness is a glissando of awareness between awake, and flat with the fact right now is the dream mind is dreaming, or busy relying on story, self and skit to defend the fiction truth is false because suffering is sufficient to prove ‘a damaged self is a real self.’ » Read more: Consciousness is What Right Now Is

The Mythology of Existence

April 3rd, 2011

Waking up can only be an event in this dream, and it can only occur when the dream features a dreamer in the dream — ‘surrendering to the fact personhood skits in the dream can’t prove the dreamer is a person in this dream.‘ Since right now can only be the dream mind is dreaming, the dream accurately reflects where all the dreamers in the dream are with the fact truth is absolute: nothing ‘going on’ in a dream has, had, or will ever have, anything to do with people.

The good news is that because right now is the dream mind is dreaming, every dreamer in the dream, in potential, can reconnect with the fact it can only be a dreamer in this dream. The seeing of this liberates it from ‘wasting time’ defending the lie the personhood skit it occupies in the dream will prove it is the person it is impersonating in the dream. » Read more: The Mythology of Existence
