Dreaming Life? | Philip A. Farruggio



Philip A. Farruggio -- World News Trust

June 28, 2014

In Adrian Lyne’s 1990 film Jacob’s Ladder, what appears to be one man’s reality is nothing more than a dream... Horrible, twisted and strange. Can this be what is going on with all of us?

The great Hindu sage Yogananda taught the eastern precept that this thing we call reality is nothing but a great dramatic dream that the higher part of our consciousness is having. We all are the writers, actors and directors of it.

My friend Jay tells me that this is nonsense. He, being a man of utter truth and fact, feels that for the entire population of this planet to be having the same dream of reality must mean that this all is real. Who then is correct?

If this third dimension we are existing in is totally real and actual, can it be that with all the evolution of our species over the vast centuries, that a great nation like Germany could allow itself to be overcome by the Nazi movement? That so many Germans of all religions and intellectual levels could allow such a mindset to overwhelm them? The very act of overt torture, humiliation and finally extermination of millions of people could be allowed to occur?

Maybe a mass nightmare?

What i do know is, that as i look around me, most everything i see was once a dream... a thought... an idea.....

Could be the entire planet was, before it even began, ... just a dream... a thought... an idea... in mass consciousness?

Could all this be a creation of the way we dreamed it? Yep.
