iS A DREAM

INTRODUCTION

Reality is a dream, controlling life through awareness and dissolving into cosmic space. You are not the senses. You are not the eyes. The eyes are just instrument. Many times you can see, your eyes may go open but you are not seeing, not registering the scene you are seeing. You are not the two holes called the eyes. You are only seeing through the two holes called eyes. If you feel you are the two eyes you are caught in eyes. An important truth dreams are made of the same stuff of which this waking world is made. The air you breathe is just a vehicle in which the prana comes in and goes out. Prana is the life force the energy itself.

As long as the incoming breath is
bringing in more prana and
going out as an empty vehicle,
your life will be strengthened. If
the reverse starts happening, if
the air comes with less prana and
goes out with more prana, it
means death is nearing or the life
energy is going towards death.
When death nears, just the empty
air will enter but when it goes
out, it will go with the prana

Prana moves, functions and stays in the ajna Chakra when you are in the waking state. When you are in the dream state, it moves around the neck, around the Vishuddi chakra. When you are in a deep sleep, it moves around the anahata chakra heart center.

Constantly, life is slipping and entering into death. Actually we don't live. We are just waiting for death to happen. That is the reason however many years you may live, you don't feel satisfied, and you don't feel you have lived your life because you don't even know what life is.

The moment you start becoming aware, you start deciding and you start controlling your life. When you become completely aware you will start controlling your death also. If you are consciously thinking, it is life. If your consciousness can't think, it is death. In the conscious level, if you are aware, it is dream.

If you are able to see anything, if you are able to sense anything, if you are able to feel anything then it is called dream. If you are not aware of anything, if you are not able to understand any movement it is deep sleep. When you bring more awareness into your life you take charge of your life.

Actually when you master the prana, you understand that death as you think doesn't exist.

Death is dissolving into the cosmic space. During death, the consciousness that is caught in your body relaxes into the consciousness that is outside your body. See, there is a space that is outside your skin and there is a space that is caught inside your skin. When your boundary is destroyed at some point, the space that is caught inside the body will simply relax into the space that is outside the body. Understanding this truth will liberate you from the fear of death. There is nothing in you that can be destroyed.
