The Simple Truth of Awakening · As the Dreamscape Shatters
⁘ “What about awakening? All those mystic narratives and romantic ideas? At the end of the day —so very simple. A return from our dream world — the world of our ideas — into plain and raw reality. We live in a distorted construct born of our fears and our hopes. When actuality doesn't match the ideatic frame, there are glitches. The shell begins to fracture. Do we flee in panic — scouting for a new trip? Or can we simply look at things as they are?”
What about awakening?
How many the mystic narratives and romantic ideas,
yet at the end of the day it's all so very simple.
Yes, we simply return from our dream world,
the world of our ideas, into the full, raw, plain reality.
We live our lives in this waking dream,
a construct of our ideas born of our fears and our hopes.
Like an overlay of reality, a distorting lens,
a filter, and there we set our nest.
Yet the dreams we live in
often do not line up with actuality,
and there are glitches in our experience.
And they reach a critical mass.
And so the veil begins to lose its structural integrity.
Then some of us, in panic, disoriented,
begin to look for a new dream, a new trip to leap into.
And some of us begin to look into the waking world.
Actually, what is, beyond my ideas,
if I simply look at things as they are.
What is the truth of it?
And as we begin to look for the truth of things,
the actuality of things,
the world as a whole begins to make sense again.
