The World's Dream Ancestors

“In a fashion those ancient dreamers, through their immense creativity, dreamed all of life’s creatures in all of their pasts, presents, and futures – that is, their dreams opened up the doors of space and time to entities that otherwise would not have been released into actualization, even as, for example, the units of consciousness were once released from the mind of All That Is.

“All possible entities that can ever be actualized always exist.  They [have] always existed and they always will exist.  All That Is must, by its characteristics, be all that it can ever be, and so there can be no end to existence – and, in those terms, no beginning.  But in terms of your world the units of consciousness, acting both as forces and as psychological entities of massive power, planted the seed of your world in a dimension of imaginative power that gave birth to physical form.  In your terms those entities are your ancestors – and yet [they are] not yours alone, but the ancestors of all the consciousnesses that make up your world”
