Real & False within the Dreamstate Flashcards
Consciousness is true, but what consciousness is conscious of is false and part of the dreamstate. Everything is false, real and possible in the dreamstate. What can't be dreamt?
“Awareness or Consciousness is the only reality. Consciousness is the screen on which all the pictures come and go. The screen is real, the pictures are mere shadows on it.”
- Ramana Maharshi -
Everything that exists within consciousness is a mirage. Consciousness is true, the contents of consciousness are not.
Consciousness is true, but what consciousness is conscious of is not, just as a screen might be solid and the projected images not.
Your physical reality is just an illusion but the experience of it is real. That’s all that’s real, it’s your experience of it.
The only thing really in your physical world that is real, is the experience of the reality, not the reality itself.
- Bashar -
Everything is false, real and possible in the dreamstate.
If you perceive dualistic reality as a dream, then no discrimination is really called for. Where do you draw the line in a dream?
You can believe indiscriminately, They’re all equal because they’re all untrue. No belief is true. They are all dreamstate apparitions that have no reality or solidity outside the dream.
What can’t be dreamt?
Consciousness is the mechanism by which all things are possible.
You are an infinite universe, so what’s not possible for you? What’s not possible in a dream? The dreamstate. What can’t be dreamt?
Perception is the only reality, so if you perceive that something is real, then it’s definitively real. Everything in a dream is equally real, so what is there to discriminate about?
Drawing the line between “true” and “real”.
So now that we know that everything is real but nothing is true, the trick is drawing a distinct line between real and true.
We can’t accept anything as true except I-Am, but whatever we believe is real, is real.
Drawing a line between what we know and everything else.
We all draw a line between what we believe and what we don’t. This line is exactly the same for everyone, and it can never move for anyone. On the “known” side is I-Am (Present Awareness), and on the other side is everything else. This line, between knowledge and belief, is the one and only bottom line of being.
