I wish things were that easy ... I wish we could think that we are dreaming .... I know that when we are happy time passes by so quickly that you really think you are dreaming but during hard times things are so real ..
.... you can feel it and time has no where to go ... it just freezes on you ....…
Yes, indeed so.
And often this dream allegory is taken as a neat denial.
Only one knows whether one is fooling oneself or has one truly pierced through the gestalt of appearances.
“I wish things were that easy”.
This very thought births the conviction that things are not easy.
Which, in order to perpetuate itself……HAS to create the ascribing of “not easy-ness” to
everything that occurs.
Neither easy, neither hard…….just what is……..is as so….without any further ascribed meaning.
Meaning like “loss”, “failure”, “this-is not-what I-wanted”, …..and their counter parts as “gain”, “success”…
..or …..“All these Gurus talk about acceptance, so I must accept, but accept what?
This …….#$#@&^%$.
The seeing of the intrinsic cul-de-sac….as the essence of thought.
In the very seeing……..is the very disinterest……with the play of thought.
Disinterest is disinvestment.
“I wish we could think that we are dreaming”.
The wish, which is the thought with the content of such a wish………occurs within what?
Within the dream state itself…… whether that is the awake dream state or the sleep dream.
So, thought can never liberate(to use a term).
Incidentally the dream is not a problem, when seen to be what it is....
....it is in the preference for one part of the dream.... in contrast to another part.
Whether good times or hard times......whether the duration seems to be over in a flash..
.....or dragging on....the knowing that.......this too will pass.
Why do good times flash away as if in seconds and hard times go on and on.
During good times.......you are so immersed in the joyousness of the "good"...
..that you are not.......and thus you are timelessness.
During hard times.........you are around...
...in the resistance, in the un-acceptance, in the figuring out how to end the "hardness"...
....in the "WHY ME"...........etc etc.
And with the persisting sense of you ...... is the simultaneous birth of the sense of
.....persisting time...
...so long the sense of you is around………. the sense of time is around.
