Creating Our Destiny: Life Is But A Dream
Have you ever noticed how we use the same word to describe the mystical phenomenon that happens during sleep and our aspirations for the future? We say, I had a dream, I have a dream, and there's even a spiritual principle that invites us to view life itself as a dreama magnificent, symbolic journey where anything can happen and likely will. As if saying, That was like a dream.
The idea of sleeping dreams, aspirational dreams, waking dreams: all these concepts are really expressing one fundamental conceptthat we are the creators of our own destiny. When we awaken to this creative power within us, we're set on a path that allows us to live in a truly masterful way.
As beings co-creating with the Divine through our dreams sleeping, waking, and aspirational, there's a mystical text many Westerners are familiar with that offers a blueprint for understanding life:
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream!
This simple rhyme encapsulates all we need to know about how life operates on an essential level and provides insight into interpretation techniques I use in my practice.
One of these powerful interpretations is the principle of implication: The meaning of something you see or experience during dreaming has significance because it points towards something else. Imagine you're rowing a boat down a streamsymbolizing your journey through life, requiring effort. You have to row constantly; it's not just about being in a boat but also actively moving forward.
The journey isn't always easy, but the text reassures us that we are on an expanding path of consciousness evolution. Even when you question how certn chapters of life could benefit you, there's a reason behind everything.
And don't forget to enjoy it, because merrily comes four times while only three rows occur. This balance between work and joy reminds us that although hard work is needed for progress, the merriness outweighs the effort.
Lastly, life being but a dream highlights its magical naturethe universe, in essence, supports anything you can imagine happening within your dreams. This same idea applies to actual life experiences.
