What you are seeing and hearing right now is nothing but a dream.
You are dreaming right now in this moment.
You're dreaming with the brain awake.
Dreaming is the main function of the mind,
And the mind dreams twenty-four hours a day.
It dreams when the brain is awake,
And it also dreams when the brain is asleep.
The difference is that when the brain is awake,
There is a material frame that
Makes us perceive things in a linear way.
When we go to sleep we do not have the frame,
And the dream has the tendency to change constantly.
Humans are dreaming all the time.
Before we were born the humans before us created a big outside
Dream that we will call society's dream or the dream of the planet.
The dream of the planet is the collective dream of billions of
Smaller, personal dreams, which together create a dream of a family,
A dream of a community, a dream of a city,
A dream of a country, and finally a dream of the whole humanity.
The dream of the planet includes all of society's rules, its beliefs,
Its laws, its religions,
Its different cultures and ways to be,
Its governments, schools, social events, and holidays.
We are born with the capacity to learn how to dream,
And the humans who live before us teach
Us how to dream the way society dreams.
The outside dream has so many rules that when a new human is born,
We hook the child's attention and
Introduce these rules into his or her mind.
The outside dream uses Mom and Dad,
The schools, and religion to teach us how to dream.
Attention is the ability we have to discriminate
And to focus only on that which we want to perceive.
We can perceive millions of things simultaneously,
But using our attention,
We can hold whatever we want to
Perceive in the foreground of our mind.
The adults around us hooked our attention and
Put information into our minds through repetition.
That is the way we learned everything we know.
By using our attention we learned a whole reality, a whole dream.
We learned how to behave in society:
What to believe and what not to believe;
What is acceptable and what is not acceptable;
What is good and what is bad;
What is beautiful and what is ugly; what is right and what is wrong.
It was all there already — all that knowledge,
All those rules and concepts about how to behave in the world.
When you were in school,
You sat in a little chair and put your
Attention on what the teacher was teaching you.
When you went to church,
You put your attention on what the
Priest or minister was telling you.
It is the same dynamic with Mom and Dad,
Brothers and sisters: They were all trying to hook your attention.
We also learn to hook the attention of other humans,
And we develop a need for
Attention which can become very competitive.
Children compete for the attention of
Their parents, their teachers, their friends. "
Look at me!
Look at what I'm doing!
Hey, I'm here."
The need for attention becomes very
Strong and continues into adulthood.
The outside dream hooks our attention and teaches us
What to believe, beginning with the language that we speak.
Language is the code for
Understanding and communication between humans.
Every letter, every word in each language is an agreement.
Once we understand the code,
Our attention is hooked and the energy
Is transferred from one person to another.
It was not your choice to speak English.
You didn't choose your religion or your moral
Values - they were already there before you were born.
We never had the opportunity to choose
What to believe or what not to believe.
We never chose even the smallest of these agreements.
We didn't even choose our own name.
As children, we didn't have the opportunity to choose our beliefs,
But we agreed with the information that was passed
To us from the dream of the planet via other humans.
The only way to store information is by agreement.
The outside dream may hook our attention,
But if we don't agree, we don't store that information.
As soon as we agree, we believe it, and this is called faith.
To have faith is to believe unconditionally.
