We are the ancient dreamers

“… in a manner of speaking, it is true to say that the universe was created in the same fashion that your own thoughts and dreams happen: spontaneously and yet with a built-in amazing order, and an inner organization.  You think your thoughts and you dream your dreams without any clear knowledge of the incredible processes involved therein, yet those processes are the very ones that are behind the existence of the universe itself.
“Also, in a manner of speaking, you are yourselves the ancient dreamers who dreamed your world into being.  You must understand that I am not saying that you are passive, fleeting dreamers, lost in some divine mind, but that you are the unique creative manifestations of a divine intelligence whose creativity is responsible for all realities, which are themselves endowed with creative abilities of their own, with the potential and desire for fulfillment – inheritors indeed of the divine processes themselves.  Spontaneity knows its own order.
“I have said that many times.  The world’s parts come spontaneously together, with an order that basically defies the smaller laws of cause and effect, or before and afterward.  In that regard, again, your dreaming state presents you with many clues about the source of your own lives and that of your world.”

(Dreams, “Evolution” and Value Fulfillment, Session 898)
