In prayer, we ask or hope for a solution to our problems. If we pray long enough, we may tire of asking and slip into a magical, meditative state in which a solution comes. Pure prayer becomes deep meditation. In prayer, we ask. In meditation, we listen. If we cannot go deeply into meditation, then our solution must come in a dream. If we are not receptive to dreams, then the Universe must find other ways to get through to our resisting ego. Both dreams and meditation are vehicles to other worlds. Both can be used to help us understand ourselves. We are afraid to die because of dreams not lived. Do we fear our dreams so much that we may not live?
Why We Dream The meaning of dream symbols is trivial in relation to the purpose of dreaming: to take you into superconscious states. Dreams are not meant to puzzle, but to facilitate the awakening of the kundalini (your evolutionary life force), open the third eye into light, and reveal your immortal Self. Difficult tasks require a different approach. “Impossibilities” are solved by the magic of the third eye, by going into the Unknowingess of the crown chakra.
Why We Sleep We sleep to heal our bodies, to enter daily hibernation—to conserve energy for our next day’s activities. We sleep to rest our minds from the insanity of “reality” imposed by family, society, mass media, and our limiting ego. We sleep to forget what is not essential for our spiritual growth. We sleep to deny or forget our worldly woes. This denial takes the from of a “normal” dream state.
Why We Lucid Dream We consciously dream to heal the past and regain our connection to our higher Self, our Inner Voice, the other half of our boundless being. We consciously dream to travel beyond space-time—and expand our horizons. We consciously dream to shape our inner world (imagineer), until our outer world is a heaven.
Why We Meditate We meditate to free ourselves from limited habits. We meditate to transform our personality into its divine potential. We meditate to lighten our burden of earthly cares and see how life supports our every genuine need. When we find ourselves truly happy with only our Self, then the Universe reveals its subtle Song. We meditate to be free.
