Dreaming
And you believe
that you are there and that person is there, and you are talking
to that person. But when you wake up, you realize, no, it is actually
all in one place, in your mind. These people do not exist, not
in the sense that we usually think. That is why it is said that
most people live a dream life, live the life of illusion. When
I say that when you wake up from this dream and you realize that
all that you believe is not true, it does not mean that you no
longer see people. You continue to perceive people, but you realize
that there is only one. It is not that I have Essence inside me
and you have Essence inside you and we know we are connected because
it is the same kind of Essence. That is the experience of the
first dimension, the realization that we are essential. What I
am talking about now is that not only what is in you is what is
in me, but that what is between us is also the same thing, and
our skin is made out of the same thing. It is one block. There
is utterly no separateness. (Diamond Heart Book 4, pg 99)
