I have stumbled upon a fascinating revelation: that the simulation is much an animal as me: For its own survival does it, perhaps at our expense, engage the soul - through fear, desire, and control - in the delusion that this material universe is anything but a dream.
We never truly stop dreaming - not even while awake - for, in much the same way that the material universe is a function facilitated by one's brain, dream is a function facilitated by one's soul. When we wake, we experience a game of life that we return to play every day (for so long as this remarkable immersive device [the human body] is able to feed the soul with information). I, therefore, assert that it is impossible for the material reality to supersede the reality of dream, and that it is dream that be the true nature of all things.
Thank you for your post Jesse 😊 I can relate to your perspective - I feel that my earthly life is but a three dimensional dream just like all other form based realities and only my true Self, my Spirit is real, and when I perceive my earthly existence from the third dimension it is scary and full of scary stuff like fear, pain, suffering and death, but when I look at the same reality from my true Self, my Spirit it is an interesting exploration of the dense vibration of the earth element and from that perspective all fear, pain, suffering and death sinks to the background and the greater reality comes to the foreground, and that is an amazing contrast - a wing span on the perspectives of existence that I am so happy to have come to this group and discover that it is the theme from many perspectives on this site - what a blessing to have come and meet you and the other members - thank you 😍
