Waking up happens in this dream exactly as fast as the dreamer in the dram shifts from the fiction it is a ‘real person’ having ‘a real life’ in a ‘real reality,’ to the possibility that everything is content in a huge, all inclusive, dream. If right now is nothing more substantial than the dream mind is dreaming, then the only ‘thing’ there is to study is how mind dreams this dream called “reality.” Psychology, through no fault of its own, is the epitome of duality, which is to be expected. Reality, they insist, is a people based phenomenon, featuring the origin of suffering in early life, the impact of trauma on our sense of well being, and what it takes to assist someone to ‘get better.’
If right now is only a mind generated dream, and this turns out to be true, then Psychology is featured in the dream as one more defense of “The Master lie (TML), that “reality” is real, and not a dream in progress, and that all ‘the people’ are the people they insist they are in this dream. If you examine this dream in depth, what part of it tries to reconnect you with the possibility that none of it is what dreamers, posing as people, insist it is, because they are in it defending what they insist it is, which is to be expected. “The Main Event” in this dream features “The Anti-truth Game” (TAG), or the sum of all the ways the dreamers in this dream defend “The Master Lie” (TML), that everything is exactly what it appears to be and the idea something called “mind” is dreaming this dream is treated as preposterous. Is this concept preposterous because it is preposterous, or does the dream feature us dismissing it as “preposterous” because if it is true, then nothing we refer to as “the truth” is the truth.
I hasten to remind you that once upon a time you were viewed as a heretic if you even alluded to the possibility that the world was round and not flat. The dream included ‘Capernicus,’ the first to evince a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology of the universe which dared to suggest that the sun did not rotate around our beloved earth. Truth waits in the wings of history to replace fiction with fact, on some kind of invisible schedule. Even as we speak, Physicists at Cern hope to discover “The God Particle” that will unite everything into a single equation. Everyone suspects that something, we know not what, is behind the whole show we refer to as “reality.”
Wei Wu Wei’s deconstruction of Buddhism arrived at the conclusion that mind is all there is. In this light, ‘the physicist’ (in this dream) is taking us to the same conclusion. If the colision of particles ‘discovers’ “The Higgs Boson,” our view of reality will never be the same. Truth is bringing us ever closer to the idea that the one of something is responsible for “The Whole Show” we (in it) refer to as “reality.” As truth manifests, the imaginary gap between Buddhism and science disappears, taking us to the distinct possibility that mind is all there is. What was dismissed as impossible, is asking us to take another look. Mind features ‘history’ as a flow of surprises in which the impossible slowly becomes ‘the possible,’ and finally another piece of “The Big Picture (TBP)” falls into place. Truth (mind) is the repository for everything that waits to be “discovered.”
Since the vast majority of us fill time defending the fiction duality is real, it comes as no surprise that “The Recovery Process” is met with rejection and skepticism. Buddhism was rejected as “metaphysical,” which is a buzz word for “too strange to be part of science.” If mind is all there is, then mind is both ‘Buddhism’ and ‘Science,’ and the two are not two, but two aspects of the one. If there is no duality, because mind is all there is, then mind dreams us creating duality to pretend we can prove we have no connection to mind; that we are independent, separate, autonomous entities that reside outside of the dream mind is dreaming, if there is a mind that is dreaming anything at all.
If mind is all there is, then mind is dreaming “The Grand Parody (TGP),” which features TAG, or the sum of all the ways mind features us creating duality to defend the fiction mind is not the source of the game we get to play with it. Mind is dreaming TGP, featuring us creating duality (TAG) to fill time pretending we can prove we are not content in TGP; that we are ‘real people’ outside the dream mind is dreaming. What makes TGP a parody is that if nothing in the dream is any more real than content in a dream, then nothing is a substantial ‘thing.’ Form (the dream manifesting as ‘things’), is void (content in the dream).
Clients love to say, “but everything seems so substantial, how can any of ‘this’ be content in a dream?” How much of reality is too small to be visible and yet manages to manifest with form? Without atoms, as the building blocks for this dream, nothing would manifest as form. 99.999999 percent of the atom is pure space, or a whole lot of of non form nothingness. As we move in on the architecture of this dream, we will be forced to make sense out of dark matter and dark energy, since they appear to be the glue that holds this dream together. Over 90 percent of “the unknown” includes the role they play in the architecture of this dream, and when mind reveals their function in the grand scheme of things, truth will take us ever closer to the way mind works.
It is understandable that the dreamers in this dream view the non dual view of reality as ‘threatening.’ If there is no duality, because mind is all there is, then mind is what we are, which means we aren’t what we insist we are. The fiction we exist outside the dream mind is dreaming requires the creation of duality to defend the fiction mind is not what we are, because if mind is what we are, then we can’t be separate from mind and the lie we are separate depends on the lie duality is real.
If right now is “The Grand Parody” mind is dreaming, then there is no part of right now that isn’t content in the dream mind is dreaming. It is one thing to reiterate that sentence, and it is quite another to experience it as “the truth.” The shift is from duality, ‘right now’ exists outside of this mind generated dream, to the non dual, that right now is always what mind is dreaming, captures the essence of waking up. If right now is the dream mind is dreaming, then only the dreamer in the dream wakes up when it drops the fiction truth, or consciousness, is divisible into mind and not mind.
If Mind is what right now is, and it is dreaming “The Grand Parody,” featuring the dreamers engaged in TAG, or “The Not Mind Parody” (TNMP), then mind dreams us creating duality to engage in the fiction defection from mind is possible. If mind is all there is, then mind is dreaming us engaged in TNMP in which we fill time with ‘duality’ to defend the fiction we exist outside of the dream mind is dreaming. This shines a light on the origin of suffering. Suffering is non existent when the dreamer is one with the truth right now is TGP mind is dreaming. Why? Because if right now is only a mind generated dream, then there are no people; only dreamers relying on the creation of duality to engage in TNMP (TAG). If this is true, then this takes ‘you’ to a non dual conclusion: mind is all there is, and it is dreaming us engaged in TGP, creating duality to prolong the fiction we exist outside of the dream mind is dreaming.
If mind is all there is, and mind dreams us creating duality to play ‘the not mind game,’ then suffering manifests as the defense of the lie duality will prove defection from mind is possible. The dreamers suffer from the fiction duality is sufficient to prove we are not mind generated; that we are ‘the real people’ we portray in this dream. If right now is only a mind generated dream, then this dream has absolutely nothing to do with people. The dream accurately displays where every dreamer in this dream is with the fact they are a dreamer in TGP, busy filling time engaged in TNMP.
Waking up occurs in the dream when a dreamer ceases to pretend it doesn’t know it is’t possible to be a person in a dream. Since our status as ‘dreamers in this dream’ exists as a constant, there are no people in this dream, only dreamers displaying the degree to which mind dreams them engaged in TNMP in the dream. There isn’t even anyone to be upset about the fact there isn’t anyone to be a person. A dreamer is awake in this dream when it shifts from defending the fiction it is some kind of a person, back to the truth it is a dreamer, relying on duality to defend the fiction it is a person in this dream.
In the next installment, we will look at how mind features us in TGP creating duality to begin our career in this dream as some kind of a person, usually relying on “The Victim Parody” (TVP) in TGP to do personhood believably. Irony, obviously, includes the unacceptable fact that because right now is only a mind generated dream, there is no one, literally, to have anything wrong with them. If true, this isn’t good news for Psychology. This is terrible news for dreamers who count on TVP to play the part of a real, not okay person.
Hi Greg
I am wondering about the status of reason in the architecture of Mind, in the dream? And are the last two terms synonymous? The fact that, “All is Mind, the Universe is Mental” (Kyballion) doesn’t quite imply a lack of reason, nor, for that matter, does the general take on the dream or dream process if you are using ‘dream’ in the common or garden sense.
Thank you very much for your work.
