Dreaming is the main function of the mind, and the mind dreams twenty-four hours a day. Dream when the brain is awake and also when it is asleep. The difference is that when the brain is awake, there is a material framework that makes us perceive things in a linear way. When we sleep we do not have that framework, and the dream tends to change constantly.
We humans dream all the time. Before we were born, those who preceded us created a huge external dream that we will call the dream of society or the serum of the planet. The dream of the planet is the collective dream made of billions of smaller dreams, of personal dreams that, together, create a dream of a family, a dream of a community, a dream of a city, a dream of a country, and finally, a dream of all humanity. The dream of the planet includes all the rules of society, its beliefs, its laws, its religions, its different cultures and ways of being, its governments, its schools, its social events and its celebrations.
We are born with the capacity to learn to dream, and the human beings that precede us teach us to dream in the way that society does. The external dream has so many rules that when a child is born, we get his attention to introduce these rules into his mind. The external dream uses mom and dad, school and religion to teach us to dream.
Attention is the ability we have to discern and focus on what we want to perceive. We perceive millions of things simultaneously, but we use our attention to hold in the foreground of our mind what interests us. The adults around us caught our attention and, through repetition, introduced information into our mind. This is how we learned everything we know.
Using our attention we learned a complete reality, a complete dream. We learned how to behave in society: what to believe and what not to believe; what is acceptable and what is not; What is good and what is bad; what is beautiful and what is ugly; what is right and what is wrong. Everything was there. All the knowledge, all the concepts and all the rules on how to behave in the world.
When we went to school, we would sit in a small chair and pay attention to what the teacher taught us. When we went to the church, we paid attention to what the priest or pastor told us. The same dynamic worked with mom and dad, and with our brothers and sisters. Everyone was trying to get our attention. We also learned to capture the attention of other human beings and develop a need for attention that always ends up being very competitive. Children compete for the attention of their parents, their teachers, their friends: "Look at me! Look what I do! Hey, I'm here! " The need for attention becomes very strong and continues into adulthood.
The external dream captures our attention and teaches us what to believe, starting with the language we speak. Language is the code that human beings use to understand and communicate. Each letter, each word of each language, is an agreement. We call this a page of a book; The word page is an agreement that we understand. Once we understand the code, our attention is trapped and the energy is transferred from one person to another.
You did not choose your language, neither your religion nor your moral values: they were already there before you were born. We never had the opportunity to choose what to believe and what not to believe. We never chose even the most insignificant of these agreements. Neither
We even choose our own name.As children we did not have the opportunity to choose our beliefs, but we agreed with the information that other human beings transmitted to us about the dream of the planet. The only way to store information is by agreement. The external dream captures our attention, but if we do not agree, we will not store that information. As soon as we agree with something, we believe it, and we call that "faith". To have faith is to believe unconditionally.
What is truly unfair is paying several times for the same error. How many times do we pay for the same error? The answer is: thousands of times. The human being is the only animal on earth that pays thousands of times for the same error. The other animals pay only once for each mistake. But not us. We have a great memory. We make a mistake, we judge ourselves, we plead guilty and we punish ourselves. If it were a question of justice, that would be enough; we do not need to repeat it. But every time we remember it, we judge ourselves again, we consider ourselves guilty and punish ourselves again and again and again and again and again. If we are married, our wife or husband also reminds us of the mistake, and so we come back to judge ourselves again, we punish ourselves again and we feel guilty again. Is this fair?
How many times do we make our partner, our children or our parents pay for the same mistake? Every time we remember the mistake, we blame them again and send them all the emotional poison we feel against injustice, we make them pay for it again. Is that justice? The Judge of the mind is wrong because the belief system, the Book of the Law, is wrong. The whole dream is based on a false law. 95 percent of the beliefs that we have stored in our mind are nothing but lies, and if
We suffer because we believe in all of them.
