If mind is unitary, and right now is the dream mind is dreaming, then everything can only be content in the dream mind is dreaming. If right now is the dream mind is dreaming, then mind is dreaming the dreamers, where they are with the fact truth is absolute (mind is always what right now is), and, more specifically, how the dreamers in the dream defend the fiction they are ‘real people’ outside the dream mind is dreaming. Since there are no people, only dreamers featured defending that fiction in the dream, this dream is a mind generated parody: almost all the dreamers in this dream fill time 1) pretending to be people, insisting 2) they are having a ‘real life’ outside the dream mind is dreaming. This is “The Main Event” in this dream. This is what the majority of the dreamers do in this dream, somewhere between awake in the dream, meaning one with the fact right now is the dream mind is dreaming, and deep in trance, filling time pretending it’s possible to prove truth is false. When a dreamer wakes up in the dream, it reconnects with the fact it can only be a dreamer in this dream, displaying where it is right now in the dream with that fact.
Since the dreamer’s status remains constant (a dreamer in this dream mind is dreaming), what changes is where it is featured now in the dream with that fact. This dream can’t be about people, only where any dreamer in the dream is right now with the fact truth is absolute. Mind is dreaming this parody as “The Main Event” in this dream. When a dreamer wakes up in the dream, it knows 1) truth is absolute, and 2) how mind dreams it pretending to be a ‘real person’ in the dream.
No dreamer in the dream has the capacity to run any part of the dream it is in, including where mind dreams it right now with the fact truth is absolute. There is no ‘doer’ to do anything, including ‘wake up,’ or alter the way it defends the lie it is a ‘real person’ in this dream. Waking up is an event in the dream, like everything in the dream. The dream is always ‘on,’ and it displays where the dreamers in the dream are with the truth, and how they work as a team to defend “The Master Lie,” that right now is real, and not a dream, and all the dreamers are ‘the real people’ they impersonate in this dream.
Mind is dreaming this parody. It features all the ways the dreamers in the dream defend the fiction they are ‘the real people’ they impersonate. If truth, as Wei Wu Wei reminds us endlessly, is absolute, then “the option to be a person in this dream is zero.” It is against this fact that mind dreams the dreamers addicted to the fiction they will prove truth is false.
TAG, or “The Anti-truth Game,” is played against the fact truth is absolute. Low TAG players are on the cusp of waking up in this dream, and you can tell who they are because they don’t take any part of this dream too seriously. If right now can only be the dream mind is dreaming, it’s not serious because it is being dreamed by mind, manifesting as ‘right now.’ The dream includes ‘mountains and rivers’ because the dream includes them in it. Waking up includes shifting from the fiction everything is real, to everything is content in this mind generated dream, including the dreamers filling time impersonating people, as if that’s what they are. If the dream includes ‘mountains and rivers,’ then how can people be exempt from the absolute?
TAG includes “The Defection Parody,” or all the ways mind dreams the dreamers feigning defection from mind, as if something real exists outside the dream mind is dreaming. If mind is unitary, then mind is dreaming everything just the way it manifests, including ‘amnesia,’ so the dreamers can feign forgetting they are in the dream mind is dreaming, busy ‘feigning defection from mind.’ No dreamer can fill time in defense of “The Master Lie,” that right now is real, and not a dream, without dismissing the fact mind is dreaming this parody in its entirety.
TAG is “The Main Event” in this dream precisely because there is no one to do anything, including ‘defect from mind.’ Mind dreams the dreamers in this dream, ‘feigning defection from mind’ to fill this dream with this parody. No dreamer can defect from mind if mind is dreaming “The Defection Parody” as “The Main Event” in the dream it is dreaming. If right now is the dream mind is dreaming, then right now displays the degree to which all the dreamers fill time engaged in “The Defection Parody,” somewhere between almost awake in the dream, to deep in trance, relying on ‘amnesia’ to defend the fiction the dreamer is ‘the person’ it is impersonating in the dream. If right now is the dream mind is dreaming, there are no people, only dreamers displaying their level of devotion to the fiction they are ‘the person’ they are impersonating in this dream.
Waking up in this dream takes you from ‘the seriousness that goes with a grim reality,’ to the truth the dream is ‘on,’ as usual; there are no people, only dreamers featured engaged in “The Defection Parody,” displaying the degree to which mind dreams ‘us’ defending “The Master Lie,” somewhere between awake in the dream, and defending “The Master Lie” fiercely, as if someone’s life is at stake.
What’s always ‘at risk’ in this dream is the lie the dreamer is ‘the person’ it is impersonating in this dream. Fear is the clue the dreamers know, upstream of amnesia, that the personhood skit they deliver in this dream, day in and day out, will never prove truth is false. In this parody, the dream features what the dreamers do in the dream to prolong the fiction it’s possible to prove truth is false. Trying to prove truth is false, when truth (mind) provides the context for this parody, is what’s funny. Since there are no people, and almost all the dreamers are featured pretending their little drama is sufficient to prove truth is false, this parody is a comedy. This comedy is mind’s doing, and it’s in progress 24/7, with no time off for ‘good behavior.’ No dreamer in this dream can prove it is a person because mind is dreaming that parody as “The Main Event” in the dream it is dreaming right now.
The following chart synthesizes the architecture of the game of TAG mind features the dreamers delivering as “The Main Event” in this dream.
TAG is the parody mind features as “The Main Event” in this dream. Take a look at this chart. I use it as “The Road Map” to assist clients to wake up in this dream. Only a dreamer in the dream exists to assist another dreamer in the dream to wake up. The one who assists must be sufficiently awake to know there are no people to suffer; only dreamers suffer in this dream in defense of “The Master Lie.”
The chart indicates that the dreamer’s level of knowing the truth falls somewhere in the dream between Zero and ten, zero representing awake, and 10 representing totally immersed in the lie the dreamer is ‘the person’ it is impersonating in the dream. Five represents the mid point between low and high amnesia. Dreamers at 5 on this scale might wake up, or they might redouble their effort to defend “The Master Lie,” which is what the game of TAG is all about. This chart reflects where every dreamer in the dream is with the fact truth is absolute.
On the second line, dreamers display whether they are 1) Surrendering to the fact truth is absolute, or 2) Rejecting truth as false. Every dreamer in this dream displays where it is with the fact truth is absolute, expressed as a ratio between S : R, such that when S < R, the dreamer shows signs of reconnecting with truth in the dream, and when R < than S, the dreamer is featured in the dream ‘filling time trying to prove truth is false.’ Where we fall on the TAG scale, as a ratio of S to R, is our fingerprint in this dream. Without knowing why or how, you already know the difference between high and low R dreamers.
If the S to R ratio reflects our level of commitment to defending “The Master Lie” in this dream, then a dreamer engaged in “The Recovery Process” can use this chart to identify 1) where it is with the truth, and 2) whether is retrieving the truth (S), or ‘at war with truth’ (R). As R declines, ‘the war against truth’ declines because the dreamer is beginning to see “The Big Picture,” that it is a dreamer featured in the dream playing with truth. Mind dreams ‘us’ playing with truth, either filling time with R, or showing signs of waking up (S).
In the next installment, we will look at the math that goes with where the dreamers are in the dream with the truth. Can you discern where you are in the dream with the fact truth is absolute? Do you suspect you are closer to S than to R? Can you discern some of the major differences between S and R dreamers in this dream? Who, for example, is closer to the fact this dream is a mind generated parody, S or R?
On the last line, notice that dreamers on the S side of the TAG scale are quicker to realize right now is a dream. This shows up as humor. Tragedy ensues in the dream when S turns into R and R fills the dreamer’s ‘life in the dream’ with suffering and “The Victim Parody.” As R <, the dream becomes increasingly negative because defending “The Master Lie” defines how you fill time. As R <, the level of duality expands because the dreamer is busy ‘feigning defection from mind’ to defend “The Master Lie,” namely that it is ‘the real person’ it is impersonating in this dream.
The ability to look at the game mind features us playing with truth in this dream, expands exactly as fast as a dreamer retrieves “The Big Picture.” It is from that perspective, upstream of amnesia, that the architecture of mind comes into focus.
