Reality 03

Sti Shankara


Since the Teaching of Non-Duality, as introduced here, bumped up against the hypothetical issue of credibility, it serves our purpose to jump into a palliative analogy the analogy of the Dream. 

The succession of dreams during a night's sleep have been compared to the succession of dreams & lifetimes in the Waking State apparent Reincarnation, when actually we Reality continues as Consciousness alone.  Taking the Dream at face value, the Dream is a good analog for the Waking State.  There is a DreamWorld, there are DreamObjects, there are other sentient beings, & typically one central Protagonist "me", as I may be in a given Dream. 

Again the DreamObjects are only inferred from the DreamSense signals in the Dream, the DreamSenses from the Dreamnerve signals, the Dreamthoughts so interpreted, and so on.  We know from the Waking State perspective, that the Dream is unreal, despite apparent objects, Sense signals senses, nerve signals, Mind, thoughts & central character.  Every Dream comes to an end, as does every Life in the Waking State.

In this sense, a Dream can be seen as a hint, a suggestion of how the Waking Life could seem Real & yet not be real; how it could be purely mental, made of thought, insubstantial thought; & therefore existing only in & as Consciousness.
