We have come to the point where we are willing to accept that we are the dreamers of the world we think we see. That world seems so real to us that we don’t understand how that dream could be anything less than real, but we are wiling to be open to a new vision, or at least a new dream. We are beginning to understand how everything we think is real is more about our thoughts about the world than what the world actually is. We have learned that we can change our thoughts, at least to some degree, about our world and thus see it a bit differently.
This little change in our attitude and willingness gives Spirit the opening it needs to give us a gentler dream, a dream that lessens our suffering, that allows us to let go of our attachment to the way we have always thought and dreamed. We have opened a door just a little. We may be wary and ready to slam the door closed at any instant, but we have opened it just a little. And therefore we have opened our minds just a little to the Voice for God, the voice that calls and reminds us of an ancient song that remains with us still, yet has called unheard as we went blindly on our separate way.
The Voice calls gently. Spirit gives us a new dream in which we see ourselves differently. We see each other differently. Now we release the dwelling on our suffering we were so focused on, for we now see that it was our dwelling on it that caused the suffering rather than whatever else we thought was causing it. We are freed from our suffering. And we also begin to realize that the ones we encounter are calling for love rather than attacking us. We begin to dream a gentler dream and see the world in a gentler, more loving way. We are again freed from our old dream and find a calmer mind within us in that new dream.
It is not our own individual doing that frees us from our dream. It is our willingness to let Spirit bring us the new gentler dream. If we were aware of the gentler dream, we certainly would have chosen it for ourselves, but we are so preoccupied with our dwelling on our thoughts of suffering that we become unaware of what Spirit offers us. As we move further and further in an unaware state of mind, we need to let lo of our own individual way and let Spirit replace our unawareness with something more aware, yet believable to us. God provides the perfect steps for us to take. Take them, each a step at a time. Dream the gentler dream. And know who you really are.
