LIFE

By Alan Marston, 15 April 2008

 

If reality is a dream, the philosophical position of all gurus, shamans, mystics and romantics of any age and any religion – a belief that is impossible to prove wrong by the way given that reality for humans is thinking which is consciousness and dreaming is consciousness therefore dreaming is reality – then reality is a waking up from one dream while commencing another.

 

The trouble is, though some dreams are comforting romances others are frightening nightmares and most people are very open to purchase of and

belief in romance as purveyed by 99.9% of salesman since the beginning of `trade' but they pin a suppression order to a nightmare described by shamans, mystics and other philosophers. Nature of course is quite indifferent to human comfort and rudely awakes romantics to a nightmare at regular intervals.

 

Awake yee romantics the nightmare of money's fall is upon us.

 

Be re-assured though, as Einstein said, all is relative. In the context of the reality dream relative means romance is part nightmare and nightmare is part romance. It's up to the individual to describe which part is which and which part is ascendant.

 

Reality, comforting or discomforting … it's your dream.
