Hello! Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"
A Joke: The economics professor was teaching his new batch of students the fundamentals of commerce.
"On giving money for a thing purchased, the thing goes from the seller to the buyer." he explained.
"Except wine, Sir" quipped a know-it-all youth, "It goes to the cellar."
Another smart-alex joined in, "And coal, too, Sir. It goes to the cellar as well."
I am dreaming some one else's dream!
It is easy to use words.
Our waking state is also our dream, as the dream of sleep.
But do the words make any sense?
Obviously these words do not make any sense at all.
I cannot, try hard as I might, not even dream into existence a grain of sand, a drop of water, or even the shine on a new penny.
How then can I say that I dream into existence the mountains I see the oceans of the world, or have any hope of amassing the wealth I covet for.
The only way I can reconcile these opposing facts is if the dream that makes me see the mountains around me is not my own dream.
What if the whole cosmos was a Mind whose dream I was dreaming?
Then the puzzle could be solved.
The mountains, oceans, the galaxies, the stars, all life on this planet is the dream of this Cosmic Mind, being dreamt through my mind.
You, too could be dreaming this Cosmic Mind's dream.
So you see the same trees and flowers that I see.
It is as if I am seeing a picture on my cinema screen, and you are seeing a picture on your screen.
But since the film, and the projector is the same for both of us, we agree on what we see.
Things cannot be as simple as that though.
Things are compounded by our own mind, through which the Universal Mind dreams, to affect, to edit, the dream being dreamt.
Thus, for example, there may be a rope on my path, but I see it as a snake.
Then I have edited he dream being projected through my mind.
If I have that ability to affect the Cosmic Dream, may be I can affect that to my advantage.
Then if I dream, with my little mind, of health, wealth, happiness, may be I can draw those images from the Cosmic Mind into my own real life dream.
That being the truth may be the power behind the "Law of Attraction" of the New Age thinking.
In any case, I am now happy to accept that my wakeful world is the same as the dream of my sleep, albeit that dream is some one else's dream.
Now that I know I have the ability to influence the dream of the Universal Mind, I am hopeful that I can think into existence the life I want for my own self.
