forward you can only connect them

if you awaken from this illusion and you
understand that black implies white self
implies other life implies death or
shall I say death implies life you can
feel yourself not as a stranger in the
world not as something here on probation
not as something that has arrived here
by fluke but you can begin to feel your
own existence as absolutely fundamental
I’m not trying to sell you on this idea
in the sense of converting you to it I
want you to play with it I want you to
think of its possibilities I’m not
trying to prove it I’m just putting it
forward as a possibility of life to
think about it so then let’s suppose
that you were able every night to dream
any dream you wanted to dream and that
you could for example have the power
within one night to dream 75 years of
time or any length of time you wanted to
have and you would naturally as you
began on this adventure of Dreams you
would fulfill all your wishes you would
have every kind of pleasure
and after several nights of 75 years of
total pleasure each you would say well I
was pretty great but now let’s um let’s
have a surprise let’s have a dream which
isn’t under control well something is
going to happen to me that I don’t know
what it’s gonna be
and uh you you would dig that and come
out of that and say wow that was a close
shave wasn’t it then you would get more
and more adventurous and you would make
further and further out Gamble’s as to
what you would dream and finally you
would dream where you are now you would
dream the dream of living the life that
you are actually living today that would
be within the infinite multiplicity of
choices you would have of playing that
you weren’t God because the whole nature
of the Godman
according to this idea is to play that
he’s not so in this idea then everybody
is fundamentally the ultimate reality
not God in a politically kingly sense
but God in the sense of being the self
the deep down basic whatever there is
and you’re all that only you’re
pretending you’re not
