The only time is
Now. All other times - past, present and
parallel - can be accessed in this moment of Now, and may be changed for the
better.
We dream to wake
up. Dreaming is not fundamentally about
what happens during sleep. It is about waking up to a deeper order of reality.
Dreaming is a discipline; to get really good at it requires practice, practice,
practice.
Treasures
are waiting for us in the Place Between Sleep and Awake. The
easiest way to become a lucid or conscious dreamer is to spend more time in the
twilight zone between waking and sleep, or between sleep and waking. Tinker Bell told Peter Pan to look for her in
the Place between Sleep and Awake. This liminal state is a place of encounter with
inner guides and transpersonal visitors. It is also a place of heightened
psychic perception and creative breakthroughs, where it is easy to make
connections that escape the daily mind.
We live in the Speaking Land, as the First Peoples of my native Australia
say. Everything in the world around us is alive and conscious and will
speak to us if we are paying attention. Navigating by synchronicity becomes
very simple, even irresistible, when we stream into this mode of understanding.
To live well, we must practice
death. We bring courage and clarity to life choices when we are aware that
death is always with us, and that we should be ready to meet it any day.
We must feed and honor our animal
spirits. A working connection with them gives us immense resources for
self-healing.
We have a guide for our lives who
is no stranger. He is always with us and does not judge us. This is the
Self on a higher level. When we rise to the perspective of the Greater Self, we
are able to make peace between different personality aspects, including our
counterparts in other times and parallel realities.
We are at the center of all times.
The dramas of lives being lived in other times and in parallel realities may be
intensely relevant to understanding and navigating our current relationships
and life issues. We can learn to reach into those other lives to share gifts
and lessons. We can dialog with our own older and younger selves within our
present lifetimes.
We must entertain the spirits,
starting with our very own – the child self, the inner artist, the passionate
teen, the animal spirits, the creative daimon.
