Progressive Dreams

I often have progressive dreams, where I start off from one point to end up at another point. Often these progressive dreams can go on for months, seemingly following a certain process in waking life. I don't always remember these types of dreams right away, at times only at the end of the progressive dream do I remember having a progressive dream. Recently, it was to do with an elaborate wedding, a union or reunion of two people. I was involved in the setting up of this wedding.

The wedding does not look like it is going ahead due to other people's involvement in the setting up of the wedding. These people were very unhanded in relation to people like me being involved, not realising that everything elaborate was on loan through people like me. Due to the situation, mainly the bad attitude, everything on loan was going to be withdrawn. People like me were to blame for the withdrawal of the loan, of course in a real sense they themselves were to blame for their own indiscretions.

When you think on this, what is not on loan to us!!

Can we relate this to today's abusive attitude, considering that I can't think of one thing that is not on loan to us?

Being speculative; I am all for a union between the western and eastern mind and culture, this union looks to me to be in peril at present. I woke up to news that Russia shot down a US drone, Russia now being accused of deliberately escalating the conflict between Russia and the US/NATO, of course the bombing of a vital Russian pipeline and expansion of NATO was not deliberately escalating the present conflict!! Reminds me too much of what occurred in the dream, not saying that there is a certain connection here between this conflict and my progressive dream, just pure speculation.

In this case scenario, it is not people like me being personally involved in assisting in this union, it is more to do with the same type of mentality at hand. I don't blame any eastern minded country now not wanting this union to go ahead, or wanting this kind of western mentality influencing their own eastern mentality. This union or reunion was important for us all, however, the biggest losers will be those who have expressed the highest level of indiscretion.

Indiscretion; expressive of being not prudent or wise in one's thoughts and actions.

Something else to consider here. Is there a more aware and wiser consciousness than what man is presently experiencing that everything is on loan from? It is going to be interesting if this loan is withdrawn due to mans numerous indiscretions!! Don't' wary though, only what is elaborate will be withdrawn, according to my recent progressive dream.

A Progressive Mind

 

Written by Mathew Naismith

As I wrote recently to another native of India I have great respect for.

“This is a very good point Samuel, a progressive mind indeed. Progress beyond the boundaries set by the ego. All I can see is we have lost so much, but willing to loose more for what?

It is funny. I was talking to my wife about how Sadhguru has not called anyone an idiot, seen as he tells it as it is, not how the ego would like to hear it to be told. Not long after saying this, I watched a video of him talking about Alexandria the great. As he added to this, Alexandria the great idiot. It wasn't just Alexandria who was an idiot for leading a life of utter murder, it was also in relation to anyone thinking that he was great for his killing spree, all his life. How do you compare a life the opposite of a life of complete and utter killing? Bliss found in all circumstances has no comparison that for which Alexandra was never aware of, even in his extensive travels.

We seem to have lost this will for this kind of bliss. There is something to, stop and simply smell the flowers for no reason or purpose in our travels.”

Try to remember, there is no label like negative and positive, good and bad, attached to giving an explanation of idiocy in this state of consciousness, idiocy is simply the telling of an honest truth without the attachments of a negative and positive, good and bad. As Sadhguru has cited, “There is no looking up or down at people, only looking at level to”. An idiot is not something to avoid due to a lowly state, simply something to be aware of period. You must honestly tell it how it is, anything else is not of honesty but dishonesty. Alexander was simply a dishonest man unable within his dishonesty to see in his travels what he could have seen beyond his killing spree.

Would you say that dishonesty is progressive or regressive? Firstly, make no mistake between judgement and awareness. We are not in judgement of dishonesty being in relation to regression, simply aware that regression is a creation of dishonesty brought about by being unaware. Judgement is regressive where's awareness is progressive. So to state that stating an awareness is judgemental, this judgement is within itself an exemplification of regressive thinking brought about by being unaware. It is something to be aware of, being in judgement of judgements!!

This is how this aware consciousness works in relation to a less aware consciousness. Chaos is progressive not regressive unless chaos is noticeably regressive. A volcano erupts , chaos ensues leading to a recreation. The universe was created through a chaotic event between energies, in the process creating the universe we see today. The sun is chaotic within it's energies, in the process creating what? The solar system. The present situation to do with covid and lock downs are creating chaotic occurrences, in the end culminating in what?

The what is interesting because if we suffer instead of learning from the present, this chaos will stay as chaos. If we learn from this chaos, the chaos will create what so many other chaotic occurrences have. What is of learning from chaos? Awareness, in the process creating harmony. What is of not learning from chaos? An unawareness, in the process creating disharmony.

Within a progressive mind, not all of what seems negative is actually negative.
