The People and the Dreaming

Hello, my friends!

Here is a short piece from the introduction of my next lecture, Magic by Number Part 3.

I decided to share it today because it highlights the core of my mission, as well as that which I feel is most needed in the world today.

When we learn how to work actively with the Dreaming, our entire experience of the world changes, and we share this new way of Being with the world.

It's time to heal our relationship with the Dreaming and return to a place of joy, balance, alignment, and profound purpose, individually and collectively.

"I’d like to take a moment to explain the Dreaming.

This is a powerful insight, and it's counterintuitive for modern people.

And, while it sounds abstract, this is one of the most practical things you can learn to support your journey as an awake human being.

We are all Dreaming. We Dream the world into Being.

*

Now, it’s easy to hear this and discount it because it sounds all flowery or crunchy. Or deny it because our dreams don’t seem to impact our physical reality.

But the Dreaming goes much deeper than the dreams we have at night.

More than that, working with the Dreaming anchors us in our own experience, rather than our view of the world.

And this is huge! So much growth comes directly from becoming aware of our subconscious view of the world, and changing how we dream this view.

Learning to dream consciously, with intention and heart. Rather than unconsciously, full of fear and from a place of mind.

*

We are all free to Dream our experience of the world exactly as we choose.

And we do. We each create and refine our personal Dream of the world each day.

At the same time, we coexist as a network of interrelated Beings. Making a collective Dream of this space, and dancing together along the journey.

We have our personal dream: how we see and feel about the world, what possibilities we recognize, what we allow in, or allow ourselves to strive for.

What we expect and believe. A collection of stories about the world.

A sense of identity and history. Place and purpose in the world.

Meaning and context.

*

And we have the collective dream of the world, which is shared amongst all within a culture, and is in fact the structure of culture itself.

A collection of shared stories about the world that frame our common relation to the world in a specific way.

Because every single story offers a specific perspective and vantage point, frames our view of the world, and invites a specific kind of experience.

*

Strong cultures align the personal Dreaming with the collective Dreaming, reshaping the land and the entire web of energy.

Healthy cultures balance the personal dreaming with the collective dreaming.

They give each person both space to dream as they will and a means to contribute to the whole.

A channel for meaningful, constructive expression of our personal dream in relation to our surrounding culture.

*

It is possible for a culture to be healthy without being strong. These cultures tend to get swallowed up by others with powerful united Dreaming.

And it is possible for cultures to be strong without being healthy.

To do this, the leaders of the culture must coordinate the collective Dreaming towards the desired ends.

Hijacking the dreaming, so that the collective dream of the world is misaligned with the needs and values of the individuals.

We live in a world of strong cultures and hijacked Dreaming, and it’s all we’ve ever known.

We’ve been raised to think, “This is how the world is. This is human nature. This is progress.”

But none of that is True.

*

There is no single, inevitable, True Dream of the world.

And we are not caught up in the momentum of the grand dream and powerless to change it.

We are active participants.

Our daily Dreaming, our Creative power and its expression in the world, this has an impact. It influences all the space and all the people around us.

*

We are, each of us, making this world that we experience just as it is. Individually and collectively.

And we are far from powerless. Quite the contrary. Human Beings are incredibly powerful.

We Dream our world into being, one action, one word, one step at a time."

Thank you for taking the time to read this, fellow travelers.

Can you envision a Dream of the world that has space for all of our personal Dreams, and invites healthy, conscious collaboration?

A Dream we can Dream together, honoring freedom and respecting all Beings?

I'd love to hear your thoughts, and I'm happy to answer any questions that might arise.

Thanks and blessings, beings of infinite potential!
