A-G--- This one in particular speaks to me. I enjoy your work
because it makes me think. Honestly, I don't always understand your message, but that's certainly not a criticism.

In A Course in Miracles, there is much talk about life being a dream. We can choose which dream to dream, which is basically what you are suggesting. Happy dreams are ones when we see no lack in ourselves and so we share with others without wanting. Nightmares happen when we see ourselves as weak and limited, and enslave ourselves to objects and people who hold what we think we need.

Avant -
We are lost whenever we search outside of ourselves for ourselves. Great post!

In that searching we see in some people what we do not like, and never realize that our subconscious is trying to tell us that we are the same and do not like it in ourselves.

The second line
resonates. I don't feel lost but I do feel the need to be found.

Avant.....

To seek who we really are is to look within!  Your intriguing words always make me think.  You are truly a healer on so many levels.

Avant, I've heard that when God created man he created also a very precious gem as gift for man. God hid the precious gem in a place that man never thinks to look. Man spends all of his days searching high and low, far and wide for wealth, fame, recognition, power, etc. Meanwhile God's most precious gift lies buried deeply within man's heart. Samhain_Moon
