"Essentially, you have made your home inside a metaphor mirror.
This causes you to think that an out-of- mirror experience in a dream, for
example, is a contrivance of your mind, so vast is the scope of what you
can see and do there. However, reality works the other way around; the
dreamer and the dreamed are the reverse of what you embrace as factual."
"Are you saying I‘m being dreamed by my source soul?"
"You are a projection of energy-ideas purposefully designed to suit
specific developmental challenges. Your reflections are a two-dimensional
description of a greater reality, the full scope and richness of which escape
you because you focus on only what is apparent to senses that have been
conformed to perceive a physical reality in a specific manner."
"Two dimensions?"
"The third, of depth, is dependent upon experience: you do not
perceive it without motion." He carried on, leaving a few "awwhhs," of a
new awareness in his wake.
"Your dreaming reality is your home base for the human experience,
a place to rest and to learn, which is why being ta ught in your dreams is
penetrating. We mean that literally. What you learn in dreaming becomes
part of you, and influences you thereafter, regardless of whether you recall
the lesson in what you perceive as your waking state."
"How would Bonnie view an event like being told she was being a
bitch?" Elani said.
"She would hear your idea of yourself acting foolishly, by judging
that which you do not understand." He turned to face Meaghan. "There are
endless ways for energy-consciousness to choose to develop. Humanness
is the most direct vehicle to ride to the culmination (my emphasis) of your
sacred journey as a being."
"Do you mean we began our development as something other than
human, or somewhere else?" she said.
"There are no beginnings as you think of them. You are translations
of limitless beings that form self-definitions when you emerge from
energy into form. You chose this mask of humanness to make yourselves
responsible during the exploration of the epitome of yourselves, in a
cyclical arena of situational mazes. To have reached this developmental
stage is a major accomplishment, for it is a threshold state for more
advanced developmental arenas."
"Are you saying there were easier choices?" Meaghan said.
"There are many choices which, in your terms, need not be as
dramatic as being human. However, the price of this relative gentility is
the restrictions you put on your experience in those arenas. In your terms,
much more time is required and much less freedom is granted, while you
