Author’s Note
Don’t believe anything I say.
Only if the message contained here resonates with
you will you choose to investigate the suggestions it
contains. This message contains nothing but an
opportunity. You will have to create the value it offers
you.
Only you can determine if now is your time to free
yourself.
I will offer resources for further research,
including potential access to myself. I hope to find you
on the path of joy, truth, and Love.
I’m going to remind you of something you may be
pretending to forget. You are in your own dream. Is now
your time to wake up within it? If not, put this book
down. Now is not your time.
You’re still here. How curious.
Still turning pages. Interested?
Dreams are living thoughts. Dreamers live these
thoughts, while they think them. You are a dreamer.
You are not the only dreamer in this dream. This is
a collective dream. All those in this dream who know
they are dreaming are actually awake in it. They are the
awakened. You will meet them occasionally. You can
recognize other dreamers, because they are usually
expressing what they want, not what they do not, and
they rarely complain.
Dreams are influenced by the power of imagination.
You don’t become anything. You are what you are. You,
as the dreamer, don’t change. The dream, including your
body, changes around you. You are dreaming your body
into existence. Others see you as you imagine yourself.
Think of imagination as thought-images-in-action.
You imagine an experience from the inside out. First, you
think it, or feel it, then you produce a little mind movie
out of it, and if it continues to feel right you keep
thinking about it. If you think about something long
enough, focusing on it arriving in your experience, you
will find yourself surrounded by those images acting out
your experience.
You have never been anywhere without yourself.
The only thing you can really say is that the
surroundings of your dream have changed. You have never
really gone anywhere. You have merely imagined you were
traveling, when, in fact, your surround has changed
around you based upon the amount of energy you have
focused upon experiencing those surroundings.
This may not be what you have been led to believe,
and you may feel like arguing the point. However, to enter
this dream you must forget who you are, as the
dreamer, and agree to find this truth on your own. Of
course, you will notice that the answer is now arriving
for you, but not before you asked.
You have been feeling like something is not quite
right. You have been overwhelmed by the need to find a
deeper truth, a hidden meaning, in this world. There is
none. There is nothing hidden in this world. It is a dream.
The deeper truth is hidden within you. Within you is
where the world arises from.
Your thoughts, since early in life, have been
focused on finding out the truth of this world, and
there is no truth in it. The truth is in you. Your
questions have been about the world and what’s
happening in it. You ask questions about what everyone
else is doing, and how things work, but you have not
looked within. Those whom you’ve asked about the truth
of who you are have not been qualified to answer the
question, because only you can answer it.
Who you are is a question of the utmost
importance, having the power to change everything, and
you hold the key to unlock the answer to who you are.
If you are reading this, you have already asked to know.
This message is coming to you as one of the signposts
leading you to your truth.
Your truth will prove itself to you when you are
ready for it. Is now your time? Will you begin dreaming
your dream life into experiential existence?
Here we go...
What is your dream-world made of? What are your
thoughts and imaginations made of? What is the energy
of imagination?
In this “slow” dream there are many sleepwalkers
attempting to prove what the dream is made of. I
suggest you investigate those who have looked at the
tiniest of things and asked what’s inside. Biologists will
tell you the names of plants and animals, while the
geologist tells you the names of rocks and formations,
but they may not suggest you study the basis of the
existence of those things. What makes a plant a plant, an
animal an animal, or a rock a rock? What’s inside? Break
them open and find the pieces, what are the pieces made
of, and what are the pieces of those pieces made of?
At the origin of all material things we find the
same thing; energy, acting out thoughts. You don’t have
to take my word for it. The science is called Quantum
Physics. The first rule of quantum physics is that
nothing observed is unaffected by the observer. In other
words, the thought of a thing precedes the thing
thought of. The whole dream is flashing in and out of
existence at the speed of Light. You are that Light,
dreaming with itself. You need only be Love to have it
show up in your experience.
If you are imagining yourself to be Love and Joy
and Truth, the dream will show up as those things being
your surroundings. The dream will shape itself into your
imaginings if you will keep dreaming them.
There are subtleties, however. All dreams happen in
their own time. The dreamer excels in patience, knowing
they are the Light which projects thoughts into “the
surround;” the dream. Occasionally, you will have a really
big idea, a great thought image, and you will invest in
imagining it into existence, but in the slow dream it may
take time to shape itself for your arrival in it. There are
subtle and not so subtle feelings that will speak to you
about whether you should keep imagining an idea, or if
it’s time to let the dream take over and do its work.
Usually, when you have done your work, you will feel
comfortable leaving the idea alone. Do so. Move on to a
new creative imagining.
If you have what you need, imagine for others.
Create a better surround for YOU on larger and larger
scales. Make a better community, city, county, state,
country, world, galaxy and universe.
You are a dreamer. This is your dream. If others
aren’t willing to dream a better world into experience,
maybe you are here to be the dreamer for them. If the
ideas of those around you don’t inspire you to dream for
them, do so anyway. Simply dream that their experience
shows them their truth in an easy effortless, even
joyful, way.
Dreaming is an art. It requires strength, flexibility,
and balance. These are the three tenets of yoga, which is
the art of unifying action and stillness. To affect the
dream, find its stillness. Stillness is found within, in the
space between thoughts. Quiet your mind. Allow things
to do what they will. Observe your thoughts. Is your
mind active? Watch your thoughts until you notice how
quickly they bounce from one to another. Watch the
activity of your mind. See how you are not your mind.
Your mind is a tool, your tool. Find the “off” switch.
Until you turn your mind off from its constant need to
“talk” about the dream, you will not be able to put new
images into it. If the mind doesn’t know what to tell the
dream to become, it will continue to talk about what the
dream isn’t being. The dream only knows how to say,
“yes” to the images given it. What thought-images-in-
action are you giving the tool of mind to work on?
Imagine you are the dreamer of your dream world,
and dream anew, now. Now may be your time.
Encountering this message may be your next step
in remembering, recognizing, and realizing your truth. If
you take this opportunity to inquire, critically, into the
essence of who you are, and allow the essence to
become your living reality, you may find yourself
authentically creating evolutionary change in your human
experience.
This message is not the truth. The only truth is
your truth. The truth you are is operating for you. If
someone else denies your truth, they do not make it
false for you, they only make it unavailable to
themselves. Be true to yourself.
What can you truly know about who you are? All
indications suggest the only thing you cannot deny is
that you are. “I am” is the only true statement you can
make about your experience. Interestingly, this may be
the shortest complete statement in the English language.
Anyway, if the only thing you can prove about your
experience is that you are having it, what can you make
of it? What are you here to be, become, do, share, and
experience?
Ego vs. ENERGY
!
Ego, as intended in this message, is the voice of
your human personality or identity. Ego is the voice
defending the idea that you are merely an individual human
form on a material planet, which is traveling through
space called the universe. Ego is the voice denying a larger
truth.
The entire universe is made up of energy. Energy is
what thought is made of, and arises from. Thoughts
become things; atoms, molecules, organ systems,
individual bodies, collective species, nations, planets,
galaxies, and the entire universe. Which one are you?
Where are you in this hierarchy? Where aren’t you?
Where do you begin, and where do you end?
Ego would have you believe you are an individual
body, separate from a larger more dynamic whole. Ego
says you can become a self-actualized human, but this
will merely be the ego’s idea of its self, as human,
aggrandized. You are capable of choosing and knowing a
larger truth. You may choose to become actualized as
the entire energy system, and allow it to work with you,
for you, indeed, as you.
So, where in the energy system do you choose to
be? You are free to perform whichever belief you
choose. Within this message is the suggestion that
what you believe you are, literally, is what makes it true,
experientially, but You are who you are, the perceiving
of...
The voice of ego will say you are incapable of being
anything larger than the human form (the skin
encapsulated bio-body suit), which appears to contain
you. Does this voice serve your highest truth?
What if you are the whole energy system,
choosing to experience itself as an individual human form
within the realm called planet Earth, and you remembered
your truth? What if, while being in human form,
experiencing an earthly drama, you recognized your
interconnection to the whole universal energy system?
The remembering of yourself as the entire
universal energy system will change everything for you.
You have the ability to create the experience appearing to
surround you, but the experience is only a reflection of
your energetic expression.
Think about this. If you remember you are an
energy system, from which thought arises, and your
thoughts become things, what have you created? What
have you been thinking about? The thoughts you have
used to create your experience are what have placed you
exactly where you are in this moment. In fact, you are
in the moment, this moment, you created with your
previous thoughts. It might even be said, “You are the
moment of your previous thoughts.”
If you think, when you think, you are using the
creative power of thought. So, if you think, “This isn’t
true. Life doesn’t work like that.” You create the
experience that life doesn’t work like that (for you).
You have the choice to begin creating your future
experience, with your thoughts, right now. All that is
necessary is to recognize you’ve been doing it all along.
You are exactly where you are at this very moment due
to what you’ve chosen to believe about you. Your choice
about whom and what you are directly influences what
you think. You think thoughts, or you witness them.
Energized thoughts become things. Believe it, or not.
What if you knew yourself as this, “I am the
energy system, from which thoughts arise. Thoughts
become the things I experience. I am a thought creation
machine: ‘I am’.”
What if?
The choice is yours, energy, or ego?
HANDS OFF THE WHEEL
“This world is an illusion.” said The Voice.
The Voice came from within. It would rise up
from out of nowhere, in a tone unmistakable from the
seemingly incessant stream of unconscious thought, and
cause me to question everything.
If this world is an illusion, what is real? I asked
this question of a Voice I was listening to, from
nowhere. What could be real enough about a voice inside
my head that would make it more real than the world I
sensed around me?
“This world is an illusion.”
“What does that mean?”
Over time I began to notice signs showing up in
the world, illusion or not. The more signs I noticed, the
deeper my questioning would become. The deeper my
questioning the more poignant the signs became.
Messages in books, lyrics in music, and scenes in
films seemed to arrive, also out of nowhere, in answer
to my inquiries. I began to recognize this process had
been evolving, without my conscious awareness,
throughout my human experience.
I can’t be sure which arose first, the Voice, or
my questioning of it. Regardless, the issue became
finding the meaning of its message, “This world is an
illusion.”
And then it occurred to me, “If this world is an
illusion, what am I? Not, who am I, but what?”
The answer arrived. It took nearly a decade, and it
arrived as a journey, not a destination.
Nothing changed, and everything changed. My
perspective and perception changed, while the world
remains.
From this perspective I perceive the illusory
nature of the world, which I previously experienced as
fixed in form. The interesting thing is how I was, then,
unable to perceive this perspective, and how, now, I am
unable to re-contain myself in the limitation of previous
beliefs.
Paradigm shifts occur only in an open mind.
Beyond Paradigm:
I would like you to consider who you are when
you are no longer the “controller” of your body. Who are
you when your body dies?
This, then begs the question, “Who are you now,
while you are ‘in’ it?”
Consider what it is that you are really experiencing.
You wake up in a body, with a set of memories, which
you cling to as your identity, and you play out the “role
of the day.”
Some days are mundane, while some days are awe-
inspiring. What determines the difference? Is it anything
other than judgment?
Consider your thoughts about God. Not the
“figure in the clouds,” but the Divine Infinite
Intelligence, which is permeating all things. Does this
intelligence seem incapable of anything?
Consider that you may already be in an organic
virtual reality machine, with infinite bandwidth, and
limitless software and data storage capacities. The game
you enter into each day also includes all the other
players you see. Though, it seems, very few of you
remember it’s an operating virtual reality: the game of
Life. Further, not only did you write the programming,
you can reprogram as you play.
Remember, AWAKEN. Knowledge of your true self
is dropped in order to enter the human paradigm.
When did you last take the time to recognize the
unfathomable depth of intelligence that must be
operating for the experience of even the most mundane
of boring gloomy miserable days to occur?
STOP. Review the previous question until you can
honestly answer it, to yourself.
Right now, sit quietly, allow your breathing to
slow, observe your thoughts and let them be as they
will, and look out into your experience. Without creating
any judgment about what the experience is, take a long
observational look at the experience itself. Recognize the
incredible magnitude of what you are seeing, hearing,
touching, smelling, tasting, and emotionally feeling about
this experience. Look at how amazing every single instant
actually is. Develop an understanding of how impossible
it all is, and maybe then you will realize the possibility.
Do you notice how easily you become distracted
from recognizing this brilliance we call every day
experience?
Consider that you can now Awaken within, and as
the dream, while you are in it. You are becoming one of
the “awakened,” reminded it’s a magnificent game. Knowing
that it’s a dream is the leap. The surrendering(s) to the
reality of this are the steps.
Consider that your ego, in its constant struggle to
take you out of the NOW, will tempt you to forget that
it is a game. You must first become conscious of this,
and watch, literally, how your ego works to distract you
into the past, the future, or any ongoing drama. You
must see that your own egotistic illusion of life is
merely that: egoic illusion.
Consider that when disengaged from the drama of
the illusion, and your ego, you have the power to re-
write the operating software, which creates your
experience. Consider how your impressions of the data in
your database limit your potential experiences. See how
your judgments about the past limit you. Your ability to
clear away your old programming is necessary for new
paradigms to open up, and be evolved beyond.
Remember: The only constant is change. Only the
unchanging is real.
Now
The past is the known.
The future is the unknown.
The present is the knowing.
The Now.
The present is the Now.
The pre-sent.
The gift is the present.
The present is the gift.
The ever-changing present Moment of Now.
We’ve won
When we own
Our Now.
You can come to realize that nothing stays the
same in the illusion, and this will allow you to recognize
this: that which is changing is identifying What You Are
Not.
To recognize the illusion you must see your mind
for what it is. Sit back and see:
Do you see how you can watch not only the
illusion, but your thoughts as well? Who is this
Watcher?
You are the observer of your Illusion. Everything
you are witnessing, as the observer, is happening from
the core of your being, and then exists both inwardly,
and outwardly to infinity.
!
Now, notice, are you in the game, or are you the
audience? Are you writing, directing, and producing your
play? Or, are you simply an actor in the dramas of
others?
Realize the connection between the observer and
the observed. When you begin to see this truth, you will
prioritize conscious thought, honest communication, and
possibility.
You are, and thought is creative (or a you allow
yourself to be a thought reaction, a robot, a
sleepwalker).
Learn for yourself. In the creative stillness, found
between thoughts of past and future, express your
intentions, and allow the mechanism of creation to bring
to you the desired experience.
Then, Feel the force. Don’t force the feel.
Starting Close:
Your body acts as your vehicle within the illusion.
Make the decision to have a healthy vehicle. Find a way to
enjoyably exercise your body. By using it, you energize it.
If you do not view your body-self as healthy, you
act accordingly, and de-energize it; it becomes stagnant
and begins gathering baggage. See yourself as the energized
being you are, and start being, from the inside out, now.
Remember: You are not merely your human form.
By defining your self as your body, you limit the
creative power of your universe. Consider the impact of
creating from the perspective of Spirit, which permeates
the entire universe, including your body.
You are experiencing the act of being human. This
may cause you to forget you are also the creator of the
illusion you experience. You are the creator of the
action and the entire drama.
Hearing Your Voice:
Notice where your thoughts come from. What’s
the difference between a thought inside you and a
thought outside?
Regardless, what is in question here is whether
you are capable of witnessing your thoughts,
acknowledging them, and then consciously creating with
them, rather than unconsciously reacting to them.
What is your idea of death? What will be the
death of you?
As you ask yourself these questions, truly seek
the answers. What would happen if your body ceased
functioning at this moment, before you finish reading the
next sentence? !
Where would you be then? What happens to the
observer of this illusion when the illusory forms it
witnesses fall away?
Ask, “Who Am I when my body dies?” Ask your
self, and listen to the answer. You will no longer be your
name, or your job title, nor any of your things or
accomplishments. Who will you be?
If you hear answers like, “You’ll be dead, so don’t
bother thinking about this nonsense,” this is the voice
of the ego. The ego is your made up identity of yourself
as your body. It makes you believe the illusion is real.
The ego dies with the illusion, yet you do not. So, who
are you?
Ask, “Who Am I beyond this body? What more am
I? What am I really? What is really happening?”
There is an awakening happening. It is leading to
the recognition that this human-ness is not life, but an
illusion, a temporary manifestation of an illusion of life.
What does this have to do with you, now?
What is the grandest potential for your
experience? As it has always been: Freedom, through
True Being!
Your illusion is in constant change, and an
argument can be made that you have no control over it,
yet it could also be argued that beneath the
uncontrollable, is your true self “at the wheel.”
Have you recognized your potentiality yet? Who, in
the illusion you observe, is attempting to tell you who
you are? Are there those in the illusion who would
choose to limit you from your true potential? To whom
do you listen? Is there a Voice of Truth, which can be
trusted, and if so, where do you find it?
Your illusory experience of being only the physical
human is being played out on an interactive stage. This
stage is a reflection of your inner being. Your thoughts,
emotions, and desires are all manifesting themselves upon
this stage for you to play them out. The interactive
capability of the “stage” can be overwhelming. It
sometimes overwhelms your ability to recognize it is
your illusion. It has the capacity to draw you into it,
making you think that it is real. It is this type of
thinking that can trap you in the illusion. When you think
the illusion is real you allow it to dictate the scene. It
is during these unconscious moments that you are
distracted from your self, from your Beingness, and this
throws you off track. You have become distracted.
This distraction can show itself in many forms,
such as the words and actions of others within your
play, which includes the responses of your family and
friends, for whom you may have a great deal of respect.
Your modern media, which may not even have your best
interest in mind, is also a very deceptive distraction. The
most deceptive distracter, however, is your egoic mind,
which is constantly creating judgments about the stage,
the play, the players, and your place in it. The ego is
incapable of recognizing reality. Its only existence is in
the illusion. It’s only focus, then, is on the illusion.
And, it seeks to keep you caught up in the illusion as
well.
Your ego, working from what you have allowed it
to become as your identity, creates judgments about
possibility. It limits you from recognizing your creative
role in the illusion. The ego knows that the less creative
you know yourself to be, the more reactionary you will
be. This will make you powerless to notice ego
distracting you from your true self.
However, if you reside in the knowledge that
everything illusory is in constant change, you have opened
the door for self-actualization. Engage in locating the
unchanging aspects of you, and see them emerge.
Finding the Unchanging Observer of Experience:
Atom-smashing particle accelerators are showing
us, at the base of all things, there is simply energy, a
perfect chaos of energy, being played with by
consciousness.
This suggests every-thing, including the space
between, is “aware,” and all awareness in the illusion is
actually different aspects of your higher self, playing
out individuated roles to complete your illusion. Every
other being is you, in different aspect. Their seeming
separation is an illusion, the awareness is not. The other
aspects of you are truly unified, and thus, actively co-
creating this illusion, whether or not they are aware of
it. This is the collective consciousness.
So, pay attention. You may be living in the past, or
the future, in the mind, not in the Now.
Simply and fully observe the Eternal Moment of
Now.
Thoughts about the illusion will arise. Which
thoughts are of the ego, and which are from Spirit?
Thoughts making judgments about the illusion,
particularly about others within it, are egotistic.
Thoughts recognizing opportunity to create joy are from
Spirit. Once you can see this difference, you have found
your creative self. Create joy!
Often, thoughts unrelated to your observation of
the present moment are arising. Your egoic mind is leading
you away from the now. Are you purposefully using
this moment to BE AWARE, awake, or is your ego
drawing you into distraction?
Be aware of your thoughts. Energize thoughts
empowering your Awakening, and supporting your
Awareness, while discarding those seeking to draw you
into illusion.
Aligned with Spirit (inspired), you are powerful.
Listen to the voice of spirit, and create experience. Do
not allow the ego to deny you your peace, and creative
effortlessness. Be Aware of your Creative Moment and
Allow It, joyfully.
Proving your creative role to yourself:
To assist you in recognizing your role in creating
the illusion, you must first decide what it is you desire
to experience. Your clarity about this is paramount.
Write it down. Write out your desired experience, and re-
visit it regularly. See yourself living the experience. Feel
the emotions it will energize. Put yourself into the
image. Make it real in your mind, and then offer it to the
Universe. Give the mental picture to the Infinite
Intelligence as a foundation, and allow Spirit to respond
in a grander way than you perceived.
Your intentions, offered in meditative stillness, will
manifest themselves as your experiential illusion. But
you must be willing to allow this creative possibility to
be your truth. You must do this internal authentic
creative work, and Allow it to become.
There are many resources providing guidance into
meditative stillness (such as, “Getting Into The Gap, by
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer). Find your way. Prove your creative
power to yourself. You need not prove it to anyone else.
Recognize Now. The universe appears to you as
you’ve imagined it. And, you are free to re-imagine. Allow
the universe to work its magnificence and bring the
desired outcome to you. See the perfection, and see it
evolving.
If you perceive yourself as the entire universe,
there is nothing you do not already have.
The entire universe, every-thing, is really nothing
(no-thing) but swirling energy being perceived by your
senses as matter. Material realm objects exist only
through your sensory capacity to observe them. You
choose to see things in this seemingly separate way in
order for your illusion to appear real. That’s the fun of
it. This is how we experience thought! This is how we
make dreams come true.
The energy you put forth into the universe, as
thought, is available to all the creative energies in it, and
it affects the collective consciousness you experience.
Your desires evolve with your understanding, or
lack thereof, of your true self. When this occurs,
adjust your intentions accordingly, and re-energize the
new image.
As your understanding expands, the space-time
between your thoughts and their manifestation will
decrease. Your capacity to shape your experience with
thought will become a living reality for you, and the
world will change right before your eyes.
Empowerment exists in the knowledge of the
truth. And, the truth is that the earthly world we live in
is all an expression of our idea of it.
The only existence is now. Attachment to the
past, and projections into the future, are only figments
of your imagination. They do not exist elsewhere. There
is only who you are being now.
It is not your spirit’s desire to make war on this
world, but to bring to it the Light of Being. Exist as the
Infinite Divine Intelligence of this world. Be the peace
you seek.
Gratitude is the power of knowing that before
you’ve asked, it is given.
Gracious gratitude: Be this always, all ways, and
see what happens to your life experience. Be this, and
your experience arises from it. Keep your awareness here,
and you will see the truth open itself to you. You will
begin to see the experience of your dreams come to life
before you, with very little “doing” out there.
All of your dreams have already been built into
your experience. You need only reside in patient
observation for them to become experiential. However,
we often become distracted by ongoing events and react
to them as if they are real. This disturbs the creative
energy, which is at work manifesting our thoughts into
experience. When we become distracted by ongoing events,
we “cloud” the creative process. Remain clearly focused
on your peace. Be joyful, regardless of the distractions
of any ongoing drama.
Being!
Remember, the whole illusion is an interactive
reflection of what you’re projecting outward. What you
are being is what you are attracting. Be love, beloved.
The Awakening and Awareness you are asking for is
coming to you, which is why you have been brought to
this message.
Seek your most sincere knowing of the truth, and
truth will be brought to you. You have sought the
answers to the meaning of this life. You are seeking to
know yourself, and here in this moment, that which has
never been lost, is noticed. You have hidden truth in a
place where you are unable to find it, until you simply
ask.
You have access to the all-knowing infinite
intelligence. You are the infinite, experiencing itself
through the portal of earth human perspective.
The Power of Light: E=MC²
The universe, being created for and by you, is being
shaped with Light, which is a very misunderstood
commodity. You reside in a belief suggesting there is
nothing faster than the speed of light. This is a belief
our science will have us accept, because it is unable to
prove that any-thing travels faster. Consider thought as
capable of traveling faster than the projected Light. Not
because of its speed, but its location. Thought is not
confined. It permeates the entirety of your Universal
Being. There is nowhere it need travel, being already there,
everywhere, now AND here. You are observing your
thoughts being played out with Light.
You would not have read this far if you were not
interested in knowing your Self. Respect your Self as
the Infinite, and look there for guidance. Every thing IN
your illusion is changing, except you, the real you.
You have nothing more to know, until you do, and
then that too will also be provided. You Are. Be. Create
joy.
Love is Light. You are Love. You are Light. Shine!
