| Inspiration and Creating Our Future By Colin Andrews Posted December 10, 2011 |
| 30 Years since we lost John Lennon. From Imagine: "You Might Think Im Just a Dreamer" |
| How Shamans Dream the World Into Being "We are what we think. Everything we are arises from our thoughts. With our thinking we create the world." — Buddha Whether you realize it or not, we are all dreaming the world into being. What we're engaging in is not the sleeping dream we're familiar with, but the waking dream we craft with our eyes open... |
Whether you realize it or not, we are all dreaming the world into being. What we're engaging in is not
the sleeping dream we're familiar with, but the waking dream we craft with our eyes open. When we're
unaware that we all share the power to co-create reality with the help of the universe itself, that power
slips away from us and our dream turns into a nightmare. We begin to feel we're the victims of an
unknown and frightening creation that we're unable to influence or change. Events seem to control us
and trap us.
The only way to end this dreadful reality is to awaken to the fact that it, too, is a dream, and recognize
our ability to write a better story, one that the universe will work with us to manifest. As soon as you
awaken to your power to dream, you begin to flex the muscles of your courage. Then you can dream
bravely: letting go of your limiting beliefs and pushing past your fears. You can begin to create truly
original dreams that germinate in your soul and bear fruit in your life.
Courageous dreaming allows you to create from the source, the quantum soup of the universe where
everything exists in a latent or potential state. Physicists understand that in the quantum world of the
universe's smallest, elemental parts, nothing is “real” until it is observed. But quantum events do not
occur in the laboratory only. They also happen inside our brain, on this page, and everywhere
around us. When you observe any part of this dream, the great matrix of energy, you can change
reality and alter the entire dream.
Modern physics is describing what the ancient wisdomkeepers of the Americas have long known.
These shamans, known as the Earthkeepers, say that we are dreaming the world into being through
the very act of witnessing it. Scientists believe that we are only able to do this in the very small,
subatomic world. Shamans understand that we also dream the larger world that we experience with
our senses. Like the Aborigines, the Earthkeepers live in a world where the dreamtime has not been
pushed into the domain of sleep like it has for us. They know that all of creation arises from, and
returns to, this dreamtime.
The dreamtime, the creative matrix, does not exist in a place outside of us. Rather, it infuses all
matter and energy, connecting every creature, every rock, every star, and every ray of light or bit of
cosmic dust. The power to dream is the power to participate in creation itself. For the Earthkeepers,
dreaming reality is not only an ability, but a duty, one we must perform with grace and love so that our
grandchildren will inherit a world where they can live in peace and abundance.
Shamans of the Andes and the Amazon believe that we can only access the power of this force by
raising our level of consciousness. When we do so, we become aware that we're like a drop of water
in a vast, divine ocean, distinct yet immersed in something much larger than ourselves. It's only when
we experience our connection to infinity that we're able to dream powerfully. In fact, it's our sense of
separation from infinity that makes us become trapped in a nightmare in the first place. To end the
nightmare, to reclaim our power of dreaming reality and craft a better reality, we need to have a
visceral understanding of our dreaming power in every cell of our body and stop feeling disassociated
and disconnected. If we don't get beyond mere intellectual understanding of this concept, we'll end up
lowering the bar and creating a far less glorious and beautiful experience of the world than we're
capable of crafting. It takes courage to taste infinity.
The Earthkeepers believe that the world is real, but only because we are dreaming it into being.
When we lack courage, we have to settle for the world that is being dreamed by our culture or by our
genes — the nightmare. To dream courageously and be empowered, you must be willing to use your
heart and make a conscious decision to dream a sacred dream of joy, peace, glory and having the
life you want.
