Your Whole Life is Nothing but a Dream

The above statement is the first phrase in a chapter of a book I’m reading for the second time, The Mastery of Love. I find this statement very profound and very true. After all, haven’t we created all that we are and believe? We’re all made up of a lineage of ideas, some good, some bad, passed down from generation to generation changing in various ways along the way. Our perception is based on agreements. Agreements we’ve made with ourselves about who we are and how we relate to others. There are cultural agreements and national agreements and all shape how we see the world.

What can this perception do for us? We have created and continue to create, mostly unintentionally, the paradigm from which we view the world. This is our Dream. Knowing this why not make this the best dream possible? Who, as a person do you want to be? Who do you REALLY want to be? You get to make this up! Stretch out and expand this vision. Write it down. Try to visualize it a couple times a day, at least morning and night. Picture yourself being this way. You CAN change your paradigm. When your paradigm changes your actions change and when your actions change your results change. And there in lies a Secret.
