Dreams, Evolution, Fulfillment: Session 940
I have not given
you a multitude of methods or suggestions, telling you how to decipher or
understand your own dreams, though I have mentioned such topics often in this
book and others.
I have not given
you complicated methods concerning out-of-body travel, and yet all of our
books, by changing your attitudes, will help you bring about changes in
yourselves that will automatically enhance such activities. They will begin to take their natural places
within your world. No methods will help
you otherwise.
I do not want you
to think that the answers to your questions lie prepackaged in the dream state,
either, relatively inaccessible except to those who possess unique talents or
some secretive knowledge of the world of the occult. Many people, long before the time of printing
or reading, learned to read nature very well, to observe the seasons, to feel out
“the seasons of the soul”. The answers,
therefore, lie as close as your own back-door steps, for at the thresholds of
your beings you automatically stand in the center of knowledge. You are never at the periphery of events.
Regardless of
your circumstances, your condition in life, your training or your aptitudes, at
your own threshold you stand at the center of all realities – for at your
center all existences intersect. You are
everywhere part of them, and they are of you.
Each portion of the universe carries the knowledge of all other parts,
and each point of a reality is that reality’s center. You are, then, centered in the
universe.
Again, even your
dreams and thoughts go out to help form new worlds.
Such
considerations should naturally spark within you far vaster and yet far more
intimate insights – insights in whose light the hazy rhetoric of prepackaged knowledge
begins to disappear. As it does, so the
speakers within each of you can rise to the surface of ordinary consciousness
without being considered blabbermouths or mad men and women, or fools, without
having to distort their information simply to bring it to your attention. The speakers are those inner voices that
first taught you physical languages. You
could be equally correct in calling them the voices of electrons or the voices
of the gods, for each is a representation of All That Is, overflowing like a
fountain both with knowledge and with love.
When you stand at
your physical doorstep you look inward at an incredible glowing psychological
venture. I am not using symbols in such
statements, and hidden within them are important homey clues. Each spoon that you touch, each flower that
you rearrange, each syllable that you speak, each room you attend to,
automatically brings you in touch with your natural feeling for the universe –
for each object, however homey or mundane, is alive with changes and
comprehension.
I do not,
therefore, want you to concentrate your efforts in memorizing methods of
perceiving other realities, but to realize that such insights are everywhere
within your grasp. If you understand
that, then you will rearrange the organization of your own thoughts quite by
yourself. You will begin to read your
own thoughts as easily as you now read a book. It is far more important to read your own
thoughts than it is to learn to read the thoughts of others, for when your own feelings
are known to you, you will easily see that all other feelings are also reflected
in your own. When you look away from the
world you are looking at it more closely. When you read sentences like the last one you are
somewhat freeing your own minds, opening greater organizations. Your life is one dream that you are remembering.
You are remembering
it and creating it at once, watching it grow from the attention of your own love
and knowledge, and as you seem to stand at its center, so you stand at the center
of all of your dreams, which then spin themselves seemingly outward.
Your physical universe
began, again, then, from a dreaming center.
