Chapter Two You are Dreaming Reality
ОглавлениеMichael’s observations: There is very little for me to add by way of introduction to this chapter, except to note that this was the last communication I would ever receive from Joseph clairaudiently, all subsequent ones being given whilst I was in a trance state.
Joseph: I would like to speak to you today about dreams and about the nature and potency of dreams. For every soul, from the most advanced through to the soul who is newly created from God and who has just incarnated onto a physical plane, dreaming is the only means of expressing existence. Each of us dreams throughout our lives, throughout our existences, and in dreaming creates a pattern around ourselves, which also interpenetrates the patterns of other dreamers to form what we call ‘reality’.
The dreamer never really becomes involved with the dream. If you are watching a film on your level you can experience the emotions of that film, you can experience the highs and the lows, but you are not in the film, you are not really part of the film. So it is with the human spirit or with any spiritual expression from God; the pattern is created by the dreamer but the dreamer is not the dream. The dreamer is watching the dream in order to have experiences, in order to build into him/herself more Light.
The problem with the Earth at this present time is that the dreamers have forgotten that they are dreaming and they believe that the dream or the ‘film’ around them is actually reality. It is not! Furthermore, the dreamers are dreaming the wrong dream: they are dreaming a dream of violence …and depravity …and lack …and loss …and disease.
My purpose in creating a second book is to show men and women their potential as dreamers, but first of all I have to convince them that they are dreamers.
I would use the analogy of men and women going to sleep at night, because at night you experience all kinds of images that play out around you, all kinds of adventures, and yet when you wake up you do not consider yourself to have been a part of them, do you? But they are so real for you whilst you are experiencing them: you can walk down streets, you can interact with people, you can feel pain, you can feel joy, you can feel love and then you wake up and where has it gone? Where has that dream gone that engaged you to such a great extent? It was never there. It was a projection around you by your unconscious mind.
When you are awake the same thing is happening, from waking up in a morning until going to bed at night you are involving yourself in a ‘waking dream’ but it is a dream of the conscious mind as well as the subconscious mind, because you are projecting into the pattern – the Field that is around you – what you expect from life. And, because you are conditioned by society, you expect the worst from life: you expect illness; you expect pain; you expect loss and, as a dreamer, whatever you dream will always come up to your expectations.
…Always!
Perfectly!
So, in the measure that you suffer you have first wanted that suffering (I should correct myself and say: ‘expected’ that suffering). So, you expect pain and you receive it; you expect discord and you receive it; you expect from the world at large (not just from your own lives but from the world at large) there to be violence, there to be upset, there to be anger; you expect people to treat you badly; you expect nations to treat other nations badly; you expect there to be torture; you expect there to be all manner of base things happening …and so those things happen.
In this second book I want to teach you how to change the dream and it is a simple thing – you can change the dream at any time in your life, during any day. I want to give to you an exercise to prove to you that you can change the dream…
I want you to put your hand on your wrist and I want you to feel your own pulse and then I want you to tell yourself that you are healthy, that your pulse is regular, that you are feeling great and that there is, coming to you from God, a great deal of health on this particular day. That on this particular day everything will go right: everybody will speak to you nicely; everybody will treat you with respect; good things will happen to you; you will be free from aches and pains; with every breath you take you will be more invigorated.
And I want you set off on this day with these things in mind and I guarantee that, if you leave your normal dream behind – if you invest in this little fantasy of mine for twenty four hours - you will feel so much better. Good things will come to you. The telephone will ring and somebody will make you feel good. Things will happen to you at work that will be positive. There will be a spring in your step. You will forget your imagined age; you will feel young again; you will feel energised.
I want each of you to try this.
Maybe some of you reading this book are currently terribly depressed, terribly down, terribly oppressed, and maybe you feel that a day is an unimaginable length of time in which to feel good, in which to place your trust in things going well (rather than going wrong). Then try it for an hour. Try it for an hour in the morning, an hour in the afternoon and an hour before you go to bed. And for that hour say to yourself: ‘I am taking time off. I am taking time off from my normal dream to dream something different, to dream something positive,’ and you will find that during that hour and by the end of that hour in the morning and the afternoon and the evening you will feel better despite yourself.
I say ‘despite yourself’ because your physical being with all its might will fight against this new dream, will try to convince you that you are still ill, still depressed, still lacking. But your soul will jump for joy; your soul will be powered by your subconscious will for that hour by you reiterating: ‘I am well. I have abundance. Everything is going right!’ And you will find that there is a duality of nature within you – that your conscious mind is saying to you, ‘I am still ill,’ but something within you, some spark within you, is saying, ‘No, everything is right – I feel better.’
This is a book for people who want to change their world, and by the ‘world’ I mean your whole planet. So, if you are reading this book it is because you want to change things. To change things you have to first change yourself, because if you take into the greater dream your own personal dream of lack, your own personal dream of doubt and your own personal dream of ill-health, then how can you affect the greater dream other than in negative ways?
First you have to change your own sphere and then you enter the greater sphere – the greater pattern, the mesh, the Field of people’s thinking and beliefs – and you alter it because you have first altered yourself at a subconscious level, day-by-day, by believing in a better dream.
And it is that simple!
You simply have to detach yourself from the concept of reality being ‘reality’… because it is not reality: it is always a dream, it is always a construct – no matter what you see, or feel, or hear, or smell or touch – it is a construct. It is not you! It is your belief manifest and your belief comes from yourself. It comes from your parents. It comes from the man that you pass in the street who says, ‘You are looking tired today.’ It comes from your employer who says, ‘You are not very good at this.’ It comes from your news programmes where you are told that the world is running out of energy, where you are told that people are going to war and killing each other, where you are told that this is wrong with you, that is wrong with you, that you are going to suffer in this way and that way. And you take on board, you absorb, you build into your dream, images from the greater dream.
What I am inviting you to do is to build images outwards into the greater dream from your personal dream.
So, we have to get back to basics and you have to understand that, as a soul you are an expression of God, a part of God, a dream, if you like, of God – because that is what you are in essence: you are a dream of God – God dreams you into being. He cannot separate from Himself the part of Himself that is you but He can create the illusion of separation by dreaming that you are separate. You create in the same way that God creates. You are part of Him; you have never been separated from Him. So, in order to think yourself separate from Him and separate from the people around you, you dream, because in ‘reality’ you are not separate from these things.
You dream!
As a soul – because God is perfect and you are a permanent part of God (never separated from Him, in truth) – you are perfect. You are perfectly healthy. You cannot be born, you cannot die, you cannot suffer from ill-health, you cannot suffer from the effects of other people because these things are simply dreams.
Your start point in changing the world is to remember always that you are perfect, that everything else is a dream, a construct, a belief; it is not really a part of you.
You set great store in your society today by the television set - by the hundreds of channels that are available to you, by the films, the music, the sounds and the sights that you can see. But, if you do not like something you are watching, you simply switch over to another channel …and that is what I am next inviting you to do.
You don’t like the world? You don’t like the dream? You don’t like what you are seeing? Change the channel!
When you awaken in a morning – before you put your feet on the ground – see the day that you want to have for yourself and for the world. See peace in the world. See peace in your own affairs: in your relationships with other people, in your relationships with your house, with your office, with your car, with your kettle, with every appliance, with the things you are sitting on, the things that you walk on – see peace and harmony from them being brought to you. Expand your view towards your country and your world. See peace in your seats of government. See peace in troubled nations. Extend your vision to the Earth and see peace in the rocks, in the flowers, in the trees, in the construction of the Earth and say to yourself (and this is important): ‘For today this dream is mine and no other dream shall enter it!’
And, believe me, the world will try and convince you that everything is as it always has been according to the communal dream: that there is war, that there is disease, that there is torture, that there is anger …depravity …loss …lack.
You have to be brave, you have to live the dream every day – is that not one of your advertising slogans: ‘live the dream’? You have to live your new dream, God’s dream for you, your dream for yourself – that everything is fine, everything is perfect – and you have to build it into yourself day after day after day.
At first it will be difficult because you have to change the resonance of your thoughts. It is like loading a different DVD or a different tape into a player. You have to put it in, it has to be switched on, it has to be viewed, you have to get to the right section of it and it takes time. So, yes, expect immediate results – you must do that – but also be patient and loving with yourself and do not give up if, immediately, your day does not bring to you that ideal of the dream that you have put into it in the morning.
It will – little by little – it will!
You will build into yourself health; you will build into yourself an understanding of yourself and your God; you will build into yourself (and this is most important) an understanding that what you see around you is not really there, is malleable, is able to be manipulated and able to be changed. You are the dreamer!
And then, as you gradually change your frequency, your thoughts, your beliefs and your dreams will link up with similar dreams around the world – with the dreams of other men and women who are changing this world by being something different and by dreaming a different dream. And little by little you will then infiltrate the illusion of the Field and you will change it from within.
This is rebellion from within.
When enough people dream the dream of perfection, and peace, and holiness, and Godliness – then the Field will have no choice but to change because the majority of the thoughts that are feeding it will be infusing it with the dream of this better place.
This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how you are going to change your world. It is a revolution but a bloodless one – and it is no use reading this book and then saying: ‘I will leave it to the politicians. I will leave it to those who know better than me.’ Who knows better than you? You are God!
If you want this world to change, you – and no-one else – have to change it and the change begins with the dream.
Actually (as I have said in my previous book) there is ‘no-thing’ there; each morning is a blank slate. What are you then going to create today? Are you going to create a world that damages you and damages other people? Or are you going to create a world that uplifts you, that brings you closer to God in thinking, that helps you to remember who you are, that allows you to extend Light and Love to people and them to give it back to you?
I must talk for a little while about your children because they are the new dreamers; they are bringing into being tomorrow. Try hard not to inflict them with the lies of today. Try hard, as they grow, not to inflict them with the belief that they will grow old and die; that they will grow old and be in pain. Try hard not to inflict them with a sense of inferiority, with a sense that they can never dream and achieve anything more than you have done. That is not true.
Encourage their dreaming. Encourage the manifestation of the new spiritual awareness that is coming through the next generation of souls. Encourage them to talk to the God-within. Encourage them to see the spirits who come to talk to them. Encourage them to think good thoughts. Do not make them competitive in the worldly sense – make them competitive only as soldiers for the Light, competitive in changing the status quo. And so you will be creating a new dream yourself and bringing your children into that dream so that they can reinforce and extend the new dream that changes the world.
You may say to yourself, having read this chapter, ‘I am perfectly alright in my little corner.’
Are you?
Are you truly happy?
If you sit down quietly and examine your life are you happy or are you afraid? Are you happy for today but frightened that tomorrow will take away what you have today?
How long will your little corner exist? Everything changes. Everyone changes; everyone travels and moves on to different dreams. ‘I am separate from people,’ you may say, ‘I am OK. I don’t care about anyone else.’ In not caring about anyone else you do not care for yourself because you are everyone else. There is only you – the you that exists around this planet as millions of souls. Only you! You think that you are separate from other aspects of yourself because of the illusion of the Field, because of the dream.
I am inviting you do something. Is it so much to ask that you see your world as perfect and holy and God-like? Isn’t that what you would want for other people and for yourself? …I take a crowbar to prise you out of your corner; to invite you to change things for everyone.
The dream at the moment is heading for cataclysm.
Cataclysm!
You can stop that! You, each of you, can stop the end of the world!
Each of you, by dreaming the right dream, prolongs the time until the end of the world – until such time as sufficient Light can come in and change that ending because it is not inevitable.
Not yet!
But if dreamers keep dreaming the same dream then this world – as far as you are concerned, as far as the human race is concerned – will end …and end fairly quickly.
Do you want that? Then change things! Change things: love this planet – the planet needs LOVE. The dreamers have tortured this world for thousands of years. Tortured a spirit! God cannot allow that to continue; you will be called to different dreams.
So, step one is to change the way that you perceive things. There will be other steps as this book progresses but, please, I ask you each day to see the best world that you can possibly imagine: a world where there is no violence, where people love each other; a world where there is support for each other; a world where the only demand on people is that they be who they really are and revel in that.
It is strange, isn’t it? My task is to awaken the ‘sleepers’ and you think that you are awake… but you are not! I am penetrating your dream now; the words I bring to you come from outside the perceived reality of the Field, which is only a dream. And I exist within a dream and God exists within a dream – that is how we measure ourselves, that is how we measure consciousness. We dream; we bring forth constructs from nothing. We bring forth existence from nothing – and think that these things are separate from God.
No! Your earthly existence is a dream.
It is time to change your viewpoint.
