Art: watercolour 2009:…light of a dream…or hope for a new love…
I’ve got very different ideas when it comes to consciousness, unconsciousness, and even leading into sentience itself. I see the brain being a part of the body, and because of that the brain is just another part of the machine. It’s responsibilities include survival and satisfaction of biological drives. Anything beyond those things, such as imagination, consciousness, sentience, and ontology are on the other side of the divide, a matter of the actual spirit itself.
It’s important to first state that I fully believe that the ‘spirit’ is actually a quantum-fluctuate-mediated expression of a universe-spanning holographic existence. Everything that people consider a part of the spirit or soul is actually the shine from this universe-sized hologram, we are in a way, actually and quite literally a function of the fabric of existence itself. Our souls have always been here, always done these things, and in this structural framework, God isn’t some father-figure in the clouds, he/she is instead all of us put together, I see God in terms such as “existence” or “Light”. God is all of us. The good, the bad, and the ugly, all summed up and even more. Our brains are complicated enough to ‘tune’ in on the quantum-fluctua that is a part of our spirits and when we are conscious the tuning is locked. We are occupied with living concerns, living, loving, eating, breeding, plotting, thinking. When we slip into unconsciousness we return to our spiritual holographic and quantum-fluctua based nativity. We in a way, each night, when we dream, return to a kind of spiritual collective, re-merge with the Godhead that we all ache to return to. This detachment from the biological allows us to access a greater existence than we possibly could if we had just a plain biologically based existence. That’s why time doesn’t exist in dreams, that’s why we can see the future, revisit the past, or have completely alien experiences while in the dream-state. Time only really exists for the material parts of us, the spiritual parts of us are timeless. That is why death holds no sway over us, because each night we taste it with our unconsciousness, we continue on after the body stops working. When we die, we see the Light, we see the glow from all the infinite existences on the other side of the tunnel. Dreaming allows us to day-trip to the Light without becoming lost within it.
It is the dream that gives us an advantage that we can haul back with us through the gates of unconsciousness as our experiences can color how we form memories in our biological existence. That’s why sometimes you feel that oddness of deja-vu, that somehow you are remembering the future. You are, you glimpsed it through your dreaming and carried it back with you. I also believe that it is in dreaming that we can get back in touch with our fate. Humanity is both fate-bound and blessed with free-will. But that is a whole different discussion that goes way beyond dreaming itself.
