Each week I will feature another aspect of "The Recovery Process," which is the name of the work I do. As a trained Clinical Psychologist, in private practice for over thirty years, I had no choice but to focus on the dynamics of human suffering. No one made an appointment unless their life included suffering. I worked with both adults and children, couples and individuals, and in every case they were plagued with bouts of regular suffering, manifesting as fear, anxiety and depression. In every case, the question was, what is our suffering all about?



The Mythology of Existence

April 3rd, 2011 by Greg No comments »

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

A Look at the Lie List – Part Six

Once it is clear right now is the dream mind is dreaming, you get to identify the lies dreamers reiterate in this charade to defend the lie they are people, starting with you. Since no dreamer exists outside the dream mind is dreaming, the defense of duality is the only lie there is. Mind is dreaming this charade, featuring the dreamers defending the lie they exist as ‘real people’ outside the dream mind is dreaming. Nothing exists outside the dream mind is dreaming if the dream mind is dreaming can only be what ‘right now’ is.

Truth begins and ends with mind. Mind is all there is, and it is dreaming this charade called “reality,” featuring how the dreamers use the invented self to defend the lie they exist as ‘real people’ outside the dream mind is dreaming. In this charade, this is “The Dreamer’s Dilemma” because there is no one to have a self, so what the dreamers defend in the dream is the lie the self is real. Defending a fiction as if it is a fact underscores why reality is a charade. When you wake up, you get to witness how you fill time engaged in the impossible task of defending a fiction as if it is a fact. The seeing of this explains the origin of comedy. Defending a fiction as if it is a fact is what makes all of us funny. » Read more: A Look at the Lie List – Part Six

A Look at the Lie List – Part Five

If flexibility allows you to at least consider that ‘right now’ is a dream in progress, than the center piece in this dream features TAG, “The Anti-Truth Game played by the dreamers in this dream, or the sum of all the ways the dreamers in this dream fill time ‘trying to prove truth as false,’ so they can defend the lie they are people ‘having real lives’ outside this dream. In simple terms: mind is dreaming this charade called “reality” in this dream. “Reality” is the charade mind is dreaming, and that’s all ‘right now’ is, or can ever be.

If ‘right now’ is the charade mind is dreaming, then you can stop pretending people tell lies. Dreamers, to a man, create the lies they require in the dream to maintain the fiction ‘right now’ is real, and not a dream in progress. In this charade, this is “The Main Event.” When you wake up in this charade, you are upstream of amnesia, which makes it possible for the dreamer in the dream to identify the lies it keeps in place to drag out the fiction it is the person it works so hard to portray in this dream. » Read more: A Look at the Lie List – Part Five

A Look at the Lie List – Part Four

Duality is mandatory if the dreamers in this mind generated charade are going to fill time ‘defending the lie they are people.’ No dreamer in this charade can defend that lie, convincingly, without the lie duality is real. Duality is the backbone of this charade. Amnesia shields the dreamer from the fact ‘everything can only be content in this mind generated dream.’ Without amnesia, the charade would collapse: it would be too obvious that truth is absolute, meaning not open to a vote. The last thing any dreamer in this charade wants to know is that nothing it does in the charade can prove it is a person. In this dream, this is ‘the secret’ we all share in common. No one is supposed to even allude to the possibility this is true. “Reality” is the dance we do to keep truth “out of sight and out of mind.” It makes for a fairly wild charade. » Read more: A Look at the Lie List – Part Four

A Look at the Lie List – Part Three

If it turns out to be true that ‘right now’ is, and can only be, the dream mind is dreaming, then the dream mind is dreaming provides the context for the dreamers in the dream to fill time ‘trying to prove truth is false.’ There is no duality if mind is all there is. Mind is dreaming ‘right now,’ featuring where all the dreamers in this dream are with that fact. If mind is all there is, then truth is absolute, and “The Main Event” features all the ways the dreamers fill time 1) dismissing truth as false, so they can fill time 2) playing the part of people.

When the dream features you ‘waking up’ in this dream, the shift is from the lie ‘right now’ is all about people, to the truth, ‘right now’ is all about what is required for the dreamers in this dream to drag out the fiction they are the people they portray in this dream. ‘Waking up’ puts a dreamer in the dream in touch with the truth: right now is the dream mind is dreaming. If truth is absolute, then ‘right now’ has never been anything more but more content in the dream mind is dreaming. » Read more: A Look at the Lie List – Part Three
