Words spoken
Wake up in the dream, figure out what your totem is, and figure out that you're awake. And then when you're awake, do the scariest possible thing you could ever do, and then realize you don't die, or realize that it's okay, or realize that you're safe.
I think we all have an inner Abraham. Just because Esther Hicks has branded and named hers and decided to host conferences doesn't make hers more valuable or more omniscient than your own sense of knowing.
Just by asking for it presupposes that it's there. Just by you doing that, you birth an answer. You may not know what the answer is, but you birth the existence of one.
We don't know what happens when we die. But imagine if the experience or relationship we had to death was like waking up.
We never disconnect from the field of information that is this universe. Just like a radio, we can tune in, and in our dreamlike state we tune to different stations than we can tune into when we're awake.
People who have a bad relationship to sleep often have a really strong relationship to control and fear, because sleep is the ultimate surrender.
The fear of hell was creating hell. I didn't even have to go to the mental hospital, I was already there mentally.
I didn't even realize how heavy my body had felt until it was gone. I think we just get used to what the heaviness of fear feels like.
In dreams we hallucinate that there's a wall there, but there's not really a wall there. We're just dreaming that there's a wall there, and we do that in waking life too.
Whatever is happening in our dreams is happening inside of us, inside of what we conceive as the world. So I think we're essentially saying: blur the line between asleep and awake. It's all your life.
Bad dreams, much like good dreams, just show you what you're not willing to look at. We lie to ourselves all the time. Their dreams will tell them how they really feel.
You are so vulnerable in sleep. Look at a person sleeping: even a Hitler is innocent in sleep. To release yourself into sleep is to trust.
Your conscious mind can only know what it's already seen, so how could it know all the infinite ways in which you could experience a solution?
What we truly want competes with what we're taught to want. But in the dream world we don't have as much access to what the conscious mind has been taught to want. We just get to want what we really want.
