The dream features TAG, or all the ways mind features the dreamers creating duality to pretend they can prove nothing is content in the dream mind is dreaming. This is “The Grand Parody” because mind is dreaming the dreamers feigning defection from mind with the fiction duality is real. If mind is all there is, then there is no duality, only mind including this in “The Grand Parody” to feature how the dreamers fill time in the dream defending the fiction they are ‘real people’ having ‘real lives’ outside the dream mind is dreaming.
When waking up happens in the dream, it is clear right now is the dream mind is dreaming, and that it features how the dreamers create duality to prove mind doesn’t exist, and right now is hardly what mind is dreaming. This is what makes this a parody: no dreamer in the dream is, or can prove it is, any kind of a person, no matter how much it feigns defection from mind. ‘Feigning defection from mind is “The Main Event” in this dream.
Truth becomes transparently obvious once you wake up in the dream. Every dreamer in this dream displays how much duality it creates to defend the fiction it is a real person and not a dreamer in the dream featured ‘trying to prove truth is false.’ Because right now is the dream mind is dreaming, “the option to prove truth is false is zero.” Every dreamer relies on the fiction its brand of duality will work to prove truth is false. Mind includes ‘amnesia’ in the dream so the dreamers can pretend they forgot truth is absolute. How could a dreamer in a dream ever hope to prove it is a person? That’s why time provides the venue for this parody.
Clients tell me they can remember a peaceful time before they got busy trying to prove they exist outside the dream mind is dreaming. It was a time of playfulness. There was no preoccupation with self, identify, significance, being any kind of a specific someone. It was non dual time in the dream, content to be a dreamer in the dream, with no impetus to engage in any kind of a parody. In almost every case this serenity was disrupted when mind featured the dreamer personalizing the specific events it would make the center of its personhood story, including the fiction the self is real, followed by the personhood skit the dreamer would occupy, day in and day out, or until they woke up to watch this spectacle objectively as content in “The Grand Parody.” Since there is no one to have a story, self, or skit, the lie all of this is real is kept in place with the bad feelings that came with the bad event they keep in place to defend the fiction someone exists to have a past. If this is the dream mind is dreaming, no one ever had any kind of a past, so the dreamer has to make one up in the dream in order to defend the lie the dreamer can use ‘the past’ it insisted it had to prolong the fiction the dreamer is a person having a life outside of the dream.
TAG begins with “The Defection Parody” and this parody is kept in place as valid with story, self, skit and reiterated suffering. All four are mandatory if a dreamer is going to fill time in the dream defending the lie it is a person. Dreamers clinging to the fiction they are the people they insist they are defend the lie the story that runs their skit is real because once upon a time the self they had was okay and then it was damaged by events in reality.
Because right now is the dream mind is dreaming, it can only feature how the dreamers do personhood believably in the dream with their story, damaged self, skit, and reiterated suffering. The lie the dreamer is a person outside the dream is kept in place with reiterated suffering. Most dreamers rely on suffering to maintain the fiction a real person had a ‘bad past,’ when in fact this is what the dreamer made up in the dream to maintain the fiction the dreamer is a person. The truth is, there is no one to have any kind of a past, good or bad. Ask your ‘self,’ what kind of a past do you keep in place as real to maintain the fiction that’s what defines the person you are today? It should come as no surprise that the lie the dreamer is a ‘real person’ depends on the lie the events it personalized, to engage in “The Victim Parody,” took place as content in the dream, since there is no one in the dream to be at the effect of anything. There is no one to be anything, including ‘not okay.’ Think of how many dreamers defend the lie they are a ‘real person’ in “The Grand Parody” by playing the part of a person who was ‘damaged by real events outside the dream?
Because right now is the dream mind is dreaming, nothing ‘going on’ has, or ever had anything to do with people. The dream in progress displays the degree to which every dreamer in the dream depends on the lie duality is real to defend the lie someone exists to be ‘not okay’ outside the dream mind is dreaming. There is no one to be ‘not okay.’ There is no one to be ‘in bondage.’ There is no one to be anything at all. The dream mind is dreaming features TAG (“The Anti-truth Game”), or the sum of all the ways the dreamers in this dream defend the lie they are ‘real people having real lives in a real reality.’ This is what makes right now a parody.
When amnesia keeps truth obscure, you are in the dream busy filling time defending the lie you are some kind of a person, and more often than not, a victim. “The Victim Parody” is omni-present because nothing works better in this dream to defend “The Master Lie” (that right now is real and not content in a dream) than reiterated suffering. Without regular suffering, how does a dreamer maintain the fiction ‘bad events’ in a ‘bad past’ damaged a perfectly good self? This requires memory to keep ‘bad feelings’ in place to maintain the fiction someone has a ‘damaged self.’
Once the dreamer locks into “The Victim Parody,” it must revisit ‘bad feelings’ regularly, almost on a timer, to use ‘feeling bad’ as proof for the lie the self it has is ‘damaged.’ How can a dreamer defend the lie someone has a self in “The Grand Parody” without reiterated ‘bad feelings?’ There is no one to have a phobia, for example, but the phobia reiterates fear to defend the fiction ‘a fearful person is a real person.’ Without the phobia, how does the dreamer maintain the fiction it is a ‘frightened person?’ If you remove the phobia, you remove the fear the dreamer relies on in the dream to maintain the fiction it is a ‘real person with a serious problem.’
A dreamer wakes up in the dream when it identifies what it relies on in the dream to play the part of a ‘real person,’ convincingly, in this dream. Because fear is ‘frightening,’ it is the center piece in “The Victim Parody.” What dreamers fear, ultimately, is that not even reiterated suffering can cancel the fact right now is only a mind generated dream, and that no dreamer in the dream can prove it is a person no matter what brand of duality it relies on to defend the lie it exists outside the dream mind is dreaming. Because nothing exists outside the dream mind is dreaming, right now is “The Grand Parody” mind is dreaming, featuring TAG, or the sum of all the ways the dreamers in the dream depend on reiterated suffering to feign defection from mind.
When you wake up, you realize that no dreamer is a person, including you: the dream is on, manifesting as ‘right now,’ displaying how all the dreamers rely on the lie duality is real to defend the fiction the self, for example, is something someone outside the dream has, as if that’s possible. Once the dreamer assembles the self it uses in the dream to do personhood convincingly, the lie the dreamer is a ‘real person’ depends on the skit the dreamer occupies with story to play the part of someone with a ‘damaged self.’
If you pay close attention, you catch the fear that goes with defending a lie as if it is a fact. Signs of embarrassment are everywhere, albeit kept hidden with amnesia. Every dreamer is stuck in the act they deliver in “The Grand Parody” to defend “The Master Lie,” as if it is defensible. What embarrasses the dreamer is defending “The Master Lie,” knowing at some pre-conscious level that no dreamer can prove it is a ‘reel person’ in a dream no mater how much drama it brings to its skit. We can dismiss truth, but because defection from mind isn’t possible, it can’t be canceled. Embarrassment fills the space between the truth and the lie we keep in place as “the truth.”
Mind dreams the dreamers in “The Grand Parody” defending the lie duality is real, and story, self, skit and reiterated suffering is sufficient to pull off this hoax in the dream. Because right now is the dream mind is dreaming, there is no one to be the doer of a single thing. There is no one to be ‘bad,’ for example. Dreamers defend the lie they are a ‘bad person’ by creating ‘the bad behavior’ required to defend the lie the dreamer is a ‘bad person.’ Once a dreamer locks into this version of “The Victim Parody,” the defense of the lie someone actually exists in a dream to be a ‘bad person’ defines the dreamer’s presentation in the dream.
Recidivism isn’t an accident: defending the lie a dreamer is a ‘real person’ becomes job one in the dream. The same goes for ‘angry person,’ or ‘sad person’ or ‘abandoned being.’ The skit dreamers use in the dream to do personhood believably defines how they fill time. Think of how many dreamers hide their addiction to the fiction someone has ‘a damaged self’ by playing the part of a super know it all, as if this will hide their original story. Defending the lie a dreamer is the person it portrays, with the skit it reiterates, is a desperate enterprise for the dreamer because “the option to be a person in a dream is zero.”
Humor replaces fear when it is clear this dream doesn’t include people, only dreamers featured by mind engaged in “The Defection Parody.” To be awake is to watch mind crank out this dream just the way it unfolds, featuring TAG at the center of this weeks news cycle. News is nothing more than an update on what mind is dreaming now as content in this dream, with a special emphasis on how ‘the dreamers’ defend “The Master Lie,” as if the best skit is in line for a trophy.
In the next installment, I will focus on the mathematics of TAG, turning it into a very simple chart that serves as a scale that identifies how the dreamers fill time with duality to defend “The Master lie.” Everyone’s performance in the dream falls somewhere between awake, and one with the truth, and deep in trance, relying on duality to feign defection from mind.
