Life is but a Dream

Each moment brings new awareness, a deeper understanding to the unseen realities that are so much more real than what most people can even comprehend. Merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream. There is great truth in this simple song. It speaks of releasing and enjoying a gentle ride down stream. How many people are tense, fighting the current, stressed within each moment, missing the truth of life?

How many times do we have to hear a concept before we truly understand it? Are we not paying attention? Do we really lack understanding or have we just not mastered the ability to focus on the moment, completely. If we could focus on the moment, completely, would we get the full meaning, the first time?

It seems that understanding comes in levels. Each level taking us deeper into the meaning, deeper than we realize was possible. Eventually our understanding is so deep that it can be difficult to relate the concept to someone else. We can't speak the limited language that they understand, they can't understand the depth of what we are saying.

Life as we knew it, is a dream. Those of limited language are asleep and only through dedication and focused attention can we find the light to show the path. They must do the work to walk the path and discover on their own, empowering themselves to their deep inner truths. Once discovered on their own, these truths become unbreakable and they realize life as they knew it, is a dream.
