Hi Hillary,

>I'm not sure what you mean by a conscious dream. :) My mystical voice
experiences come at night waking me from sleep. So it's hard to tell how
awake I am when the "understandings" come. They are certainly not regular
dreams. They seem to come from a place in the brain not ordinarily
accessible to "me."
For me, A conscious dream is when I am wide-awake in a dream and knowing it
is a dream. It is the same as being physically awake.
Something happened about 5am the following morning after reading this post
of yours. I had an experience similar to what you have described above...
and
guess what happened I had a dream, albeit conscious; I sensed in a visceral
way that you were somehow communicating with me about your feelings of this
post.
>>Yes I agree, and also the sadness was an empathic response to all those
that have not had the experience for themselves, and like Ken said, we want
to share it with everyone but can't.
>Isn't this separating ourselves from others? If we presume everyone is
"there" at some level of consciousness, where does the sadness come from?
My presumption is that everyone is awakened--that's one of the cosmic jokes.
Being human, we are so complex. Imo, there is "Awake", "awakened" and
"awakening"
The Buddha said that we all have Buddha nature, but most of humanity is not
"Awake" to their True Nature. It seems to me that humanity does not know
what lies
within them, that is, the beautiful glorious priceless treasure of eternal
bliss. For me, having this kind
of insight make me sad. People like us, have been truly blessed to
experience God/dess and the power of Shake.
Are we worthy enough to have glimpses of that which we know is the path back
home to our true nature. --
For me, having a so-called "otherworldly" experience, makes me feel so alive
and
grateful to God/dess for the experience. I know that what I experience is
still just the tip of the iceberg, and that a part of me is always looking
to go deeper within.
But a part of me still wants to share this with others.
A few years ago, I went through a sort of mental and emotional "spiritual"
dichotomy. Even though I understood that the spiritual life was about
finding true happiness, I was perplexed by the fact that how could I
personally seek
happiness for myself, when everywhere around me I was constantly being
reminded of other people's unhappiness. I thought to myself is this all
about "me" and only "my" happiness. Then one day, a new perception arose
within me. It was
*okay* for me to find true happiness. All I had to do was try and share this
happiness with others. Whenever the opportunity presented itself to bring
happiness into another person's life, however small it was, that in itself
was all that was required of me. Consequently, it ended my dilemma.
As always -- Dean
