Just as we know that the most brilliant idea doesn’t mean a thing if we don’t do anything with it, so it is in our spiritual journey. Knowing and understanding spiritual ideas does not a spiritual person make. True spirituality is to process those beliefs into the very fabric of our lives, in the way we make choices, in the way we act, and in where we focus our energies. Said another way, it has to be lived. (At the end of this post there are instructions and a link to download this recording to your computer.)
John: What I’m doing in my meditation dream is I’m describing something that you just take for granted, that is so simple, and I’m breaking it down into all of its little nuances. And in the dream, approaching it as if it is so complicated that I can’t possible figure out all of these little nuances. I can’t quite remember and wake up to the importance of all of these little nuances.
And it’s almost like I’m seeing all of this for the very, very first time. When this is in a natural flow, it just flows. I mean, you don’t think of it one way or another. It’s just like the way the heart beats, you know, it just happens. You don’t have to dwell upon how that is, but in this meditation dream I’m acting as if everything has gotten lost in terms of all of the natural component parts and that they all have to be appreciated and rediscovered all over again.
So in the dream what I’m seeking to do is connect with what is happening around me, and I’m seeking to do this in a way that isn’t just limited to the way I think about things, or my sense perceptions. The reason is because there is more going on than this simple ordinariness.
I am unable to shift to a world of inner perception when I am holding on to, or adhering strictly to, a world of sense perception and mental gymnastics. The shift that takes me out of the mundane, which is the way I sort out the unfoldment of life in a mind-sense frame of reflective reference. I am asleep with my soul nature unless I bring it into a heightened awareness to take into account everything going on around me – because my soul awareness is not strictly limited by the mind-senses.
In making a shift to what is unfolding around me in the outer world, to begin with I just don’t take things so literally. Instead I am seen as being like in a waking dream in which the outer appearances that I play with routinely are part of what needs to be intertwined to a big picture, the big picture being the wholeness of life. By having this intertwined recognition and awareness, looking towards that, that is, I find myself shifted to a more meaningful speeded up perceptivity. The outer scenario before me is no longer all there is, once I make the shift to recognize this other as going on. The scenario instead is just a setup to something more meaningful that I am to be attentively noticing waking up from within.
The focus and attention that I can utilize, or connect with, has me adhering to an inner unfoldment that takes in the big picture, it sees the big picture. The big picture is that which is real, not the setup that was simply a test to see if I could access, through a setup, an inner awareness by letting go of the dense identifications which skirt to one side and veil then the perceptivity, shield from the perceptivity.
What it is going to take for the inner aliveness moving through me to be able to affect the outer scenario? In other words, what that’s going to take is the challenge I face. This means that the inner unfoldment that I am able to access is meant to be brought into manifestation through my outer presence upon the physical plane. The vibration is able to effectuate change as if it’s an intelligence being made tangible as it comes through into manifestation.
This process is designed to be effortless. The unfoldment is meant to occur superfluously, in other words just naturally, as the aliveness is consciously in a state which transforms as an inner flow the outer manifestation automatically. We do this naturally and effortlessly, and so what I am doing is dreaming this process because we seem to have lost the naturalness and that is why I’m finding myself in a dream describing the veil, or the manneristic nuances, as if I am having to pick up the pieces to start the whole process all over again.
One of the things that exists here is an image of me going into an amazing marble floored, top floor condo that was very palatial. This condo had been empty, had been left empty by me for a long time, and because of the lack of attention there seemed to be even water gathering in the floor area in the kitchen. And to begin with I was wondering if it had been leaking from the ceiling, from the roof or something, and this kitchen is just off what is on the other side of a counter, the library.
And on the counter is a device that someone had inadvertently left a lever turned that affected the way a flow needed to be and, as a consequence, water leaked. So initially I look at this and assume that it must be a leak from the ceiling but, no, it’s just a matter of adjusting this lever so that everything is okay again.
So what I was basically doing was looking for what was necessary – as part of supporting what is naturally there for purposes of evolvement. In other words, maybe it needed a little TLC or something. That’s what I was doing initially in this image.
