Are We Living in a Dream? by Tara






 Everyday we awaken from a sleep not knowing, for most of us, where our consciousness took us while 

our body was resting.   When you look closely at this daily awakening from sleep, one can look much
deeper and ask the question, " which world is real  -  the world of spirit or the world of physical
earth-living? "   For the ones fully immersed in the earth-play, they would reply, " this one, of course! "

     For the spiritual sojourner who has walked this earth in a state of observance or mindfulness, it is
obvious that multitudes of plays exist simultaneously on this earth plane.  Individual plays such as we all
live out each day, group plays such as when one works for a company, and much larger plays such as the
many people involved in running a country..........now that really is a grand play !   We may ask ourselves,
" now which play do I have control over? "  Even our own personal lives are dependent on outside influences
for our survival, especially financially.   Unless one lives in a cave, or out in the forest living among nature
and growing one's own food, there are still outside influences in our lives that cannot be ignored, or indeed,
taken for granted either !   It is all part of the earth-play we encounter in our waking state.   At least when
we are asleep and our earth consciousness can rest, we can feel free as we travel to other dimensions and
spiritual realms and experience what it is like to be totally in control.

     I have been told that we are not always allowed to remember everything about our journeys in spirit
at night time, otherwise we may not want to return to our bodies and complete our incarnation.
I accept that completely, as our time on earth is very important to learn and grow and become more
enlightened about who we really are.  So, as we continue participating in the various earth plays each
day, how can we ever find freedom?

     The journey within our true-selves, our spiritual essence, is the only way to find the awareness and
realizations we need to become free.   We may still need to depend on outside influences to survive on
earth, but it is the awareness, the moment of awakening from the illusory world that makes us believe
that we are slaves to physicality and everything it possesses.   This awakening can occur if one can just
shut the outside world off each day and take the time to either meditate or sit in quiet contemplation.
The physical world is full of traps  -  gadgets for this and that for the sake of constantly occupying our
minds, our consciousness, in more and more physical and sensory activities.  

  For those who achieve the state of awareness of Self and realization of the inner-life, it is the beginning
of freedom  -  freedom to become an explorer of the vast depths of spiritual consciousness that resides in
every human being.   What magnificent Beings we all are and have always been !    And at the heart of this
magnificence is a profound Love that is so vast, so enormous, that it could never be completely qualified.
Divinity at the heart of every human being, waiting to be remembered and embraced as our own True Reality.

Namaste  ~  Tara
