When people think about an older car, they usually wonder about how the miles were put on it. Were the miles easy and smooth highway travel, or were they hitting pot holes, and stop-and-go city traffic? Yet the real question is: is something being used for what it was designed for? And that’s the important question for any human life, because there is clearly a design to this human species – just like everything else in nature – and it is meant to be operated in a certain way for certain purposes.

John: What’s important in terms of dreaming is to be able to take the dream and to put it in motion, to be able to take it into the scenario that you live in, and show how something is quickened energetically, vibrationally, in terms of the atmosphere around you. It’s important to do that, and in doing that, it’s important to figure out how to come across so that you don’t shatter something, so that you don’t create some other problem that it’s too much to be handled. And you have to figure out how to do that in a way so that it doesn’t damage you.
In other words, that’s the problem that everybody seems to always have, is that if they do have a quality or a depth inside of themselves they don’t know how to live it, and so it peeks and flickers and they develop this whole strange other dance that they put on instead. And how do you go to what needs to be lived?
Well, nobody knows how to do that because they only have their mind and their senses to work with. It’s rare for a person to be able to come within a capacity of a wholeness in which something is all contained and carried, upheld, sustained in the breath. It’s all breathed in. It’s all absorbed, taken in. Who can do that? Yet that’s what’s necessary to make the shift, or otherwise you’re going to have around you in the outer, the degree to which you do not do that you’re going to vulnerable, and you’re going to have things affecting you in the outer.
Now the dilemma is this breath has to become deeper and deeper and deeper in terms of how it’s able to effectuate and absorb the environmentals. I mean it comes to a point where it has the scope of attention that’s, you know, on other levels, other places even, and then other levels so it just doesn’t end and doesn’t end. The breath is that inclusive but, to begin with, it’s just what is affecting you right in the immediate present.
And the breath gets to a point that it can be on other levels and whatnot, then the body just falls away. That’s why a person, when it’s time to drop the shell of the body, can just go into meditation and do that. You don’t have some peculiarity that’s yet still flickering about with you.
The dilemma is that you’re attention always grabs the particularity, the denseness. It always grabs that, and it only as an after flash glance sees the mirror. Because it goes at other slower pac it does that first. The mirrored effect always comes from the heart, not from the mind. The mirroring is an aspect of the heart because the mind can’t know this stuff in a world of senses. The mind can be pulled forward into a higher mind or whatever, by virtue of the subtleness of the breath/heart awakening.
Well let’s see, in this meditation dream there is a family authority figure. It’s like a presence at the head of it all, who is appalled at the number of miles which are being put upon an old car that has been made available for use, it hadn’t been there before, but now it’s added into the equation of things. So it’s currently available now.
And it’s like he’s sitting there; he’s looked at the car. He realizes the car is being used and it has far more miles suddenly put on it. It’s an old car. You’re not supposed to drive this car like 150,000 miles. You can put miles on it but you don’t beat it to pieces, you’ve got to respect it as being a car that has to be used in a more pristine way.
So he wants to know how it came to pass that this got out of control. The car was not designed to be driven like this. In other words, the car is like a quality of one’s self, a depth. It’s like a fallback position deep within.
So what is the reason for all of this outward driving? In other words, his attitude is such that you could tell he feels that the conduct of the use is excessive, so from the inner perspective this is an abuse of the intended purpose.
As I ponder such action, I recall that what caused this to change, what caused the balance to tilt, is that an arrow had penetrated through the corner of a glass window. This effect caused things to change, to fall out of kilter to the intended effect. The change in the outer context disrupted the design. This distorted the meaningfulness.
What seemed simple is now compromised and may not even be possible anymore, not that it was ever possible in the first place, but the imagination made one think that it was possible. And now you may come to realize that you know for sure right from the get go now.
An entrenched or intertwined purpose of beingness is compromised when the outer flow is broken. The change was caused when an unexpected outer event affected the flux of it all. The change destroyed what had been a natural unfoldment. It can seem, and had seemed, insignificant to begin with, but this subtle shift is causing a rift in the overall.
