Remembering.
We spend all our precious time being distracted, so that we forget we are real beings, and not dream beings. Every moment we spend enjoying our dream, or even complaining about it, we forget it is still a dream.
It’s obvious that it doesn’t seem like a dream, because we are so familiar with this mistaken reality. It’s like sitting in a cinema watching the same film one’s entire life, and believing it to be real. Then, in the next incarnation, we enter another cinema and watch that film for another life time. If we are really thick, we may be watch the same film….as we did in our last incarnation!
The problem is that we are beings of light, caught up in flesh and bones. But to those who believe we are flesh and bones, light beings will seem like a dream, and usually does. Once we understand that everything – EVERYTHING! – is impermanent, we realise that everything has no actual reality.
The only thing (not a ‘thing’) that knows this is our awareness, our pure light awareness that illumines everything!
Anything and everything becomes a symbol, and whatever we can do to remember, to use as a reminder, will be truly worthwhile: turning on a light switch, walking through a doorway, seeing space…otherwise we will never be free.
Repetition, repetition, repetition. Repetition is so, so, so important! Remember what you really are.
To everything that occurs say,
“Not this, not this.”
And to that which says,
“Not this, not this,” say
“Not this, not this,”
to that also.
If we know we are always forgetting, that means we are always remembering, and that’s good!
If we don’t know we are forgetting, we cannot remember, and that’s bad!
