It's funny to re-enact out different dream
scenarios while still dreaming. It would have been good if it was a nice dream
but that wasn't the case, however, this particular dream had it's purpose. It's
like being shouted at because you didn't listen to the whispers. This is so
typical of me though as I can at times become overly involved in certain
motions around me. This is funny coming from a person who has, on numerous
occasions, written about avoiding expressing too much motion, for each motion
we express, creates reactive motions. It would be nice if I practiced in what I
preached, basically, put into motion what I often state!!
I played out this dream but I didn't like
it's outcome, I then decided to replay the dream out but playing it out
differently, I basically became more involved, more of motion, in relation to the outcome of the dream. The
dream was played out in a different scenario but this adversely change the
course of the dream, further intervention by me made things a lot worse in the
dream.
Take three; involved me to re-enact the
dream out again but just as an observer, not a participator. This action by me
to just become an observer, didn't change the path the dream was taking but it
didn't make things worse either. I also wasn't observing the dream on my own
either, as I wasn't on my own participating in the dream.
Too
Involved!!: I don't like certain things that are
occurring in the world at present, I have become involved, more expressive of
motions in regards to these occurrences in the world. I basically don't like
the scenarios they are playing out and the possible outcome of these scenarios.
My dream was dark and ominous, this is how I see these occurrences in the world
that I am reacting to, basically, these occurrences have caused a reaction by
people like myself. It's cause and effect, the cause being what is seen as
unbecoming to me, the effect, my reaction to the cause of my reaction. My
reaction being sad with certain events in the world, this sadness has caused a
reaction by me, of course this reaction is natural for a caring person to
express, put into motion.
The observer on the other hand reacts quite
differently, they observe while avoiding to become a participator no matter
what occurs. We might think this is cold-hearted, lacking care or sympathy for
other people's plight but this isn't the case at all. As the dream I had
showed, intervention can actually cause more problems than what it solves, the
more intervention, the worse the outcome can be. In my case this seems to be
case. Some people's path is to intervene, my path is to not intervene or become
to involved through participation while losing the ability to observe.
It is well known in quantum physic, that
one can influence an outcome through observation alone, various science
experiments, like the double slit experiment, seem to show this to be the case.
The observer through observation alone, can influence a scenario but is more
likely to influence a scenario in a more constructive way than a participator
would. The reason for this lies in that the observer is more aware while not
being involved than they would if involved while participating. The observer is
of wisdom and awareness, this is lacking in being a participator as the more of
a participator we become, the less aware and wise we will be. Yes, certain
amounts of wisdom can be obtained through experiences but we must also
remember, being an observer is also an experience, the only difference is, one
is experiencing life through wisdom and awareness, the other most likely or
obviously isn't.
Observation: In a lot of Western spirituality these days, a lot of love is being
expressed, an observer who has a truer form of love, can influence what they
observe without being a participator, however, a person of this kind of love
must observe what they want to influence. In a lot of cases, this isn't
occurring because we often judge what is and isn't negative and avoid what we
have judged as such. We basically only want to observe the niceties of life and
avoid participating in anything else not nice, this is fair enough, however, we
are also avoiding observing anything not of these niceties. How can we
influence anything if we are not even an observer of what we want to influence?
Try constructively influencing anything you
are unwilling to observe. It is by the way unwise to influence anything you are
unwilling to even observe, influencing anything through that lack of wisdom and
awareness, is obviously an unwise thing to do. It's like taking a swim in known
shark infested waters, if you haven't observed these sharks yourself, they just
can't exist!! Yes, it's dangerous for any consciousness to try to influence
what they are not observing, being primarily a participator, as most of us are,
is doing just this.
If you participate too much, you lose being
an observer and a constructive influencer of what is being observed, only then
through participating can we be influential, however, because we haven't
properly or wisely observed what we are influencing, it's like swimming in
shark infested waters before observation.
What if we don't participate enough, we
observe more than we participate, this would have to be a better way to exist?
Has any consciousness the right to influence what they are not participating
in? In actuality, if you are not also participating, you will most likely not
have a need to influence what you observe, this is usually the case. A
consciousness primarily of an observer, will not see a need or a desire to
influence what they are not apart of.
What I am observing is that we have very
little balance between an observer and a participator, it has to be one or the
other when in actuality it should be both simultaneously. Yes, we have all this
love, and maybe the ability to observe, but we still only want to observe the
niceties while shunning and avoiding observing the not so niceties of
life.
In the dream, I first participated void of
observation but because I didn't like the scenario of the dream, I then
influenced the dream more void of observation, this obviously made things
worse, not better. In the end, I observed what I participated in, in the first
place, the scenario wasn't good still but it was a lot better than trying to
influence something I wasn't observing. I didn't observe enough in the dream to
constructively influence the dream scenario, this is still to come it would
seem......
