Life, life it’s only a dream one small bend in an endless stream…
(a line from song by Rich Miller, an old friend)
As my friend Jim Walberg says, “We are prisoners of our belief systems.”
This raises the contemplation – How open is our mind? It’s not so much a question of – What can we concieve of? as much as – How much can we let go of?
What’s needed is more space, more pliability, more sensitivity for the mind to be influenced by forces beyond the habituated reification. The conviction that life is as it appears is more a matter of conditioning or a world dream.
“We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream….” – Willie Wonka
“A dream we dream alone is only a dream. A dream we dream together is reality. – Yoko Ono
“All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.” – Edgar Allan Poe
“Quantum particles are the dreams that stuff is made of.” – David Moser
