How To Wake Up From Your Fevered Dream Chapter six

"It was a Strange Dream about us, we were walking hand in hand, we were talking, we were laughing, in that beautiful wonderland".Lyrics from Strange Dream by Mike Selley

If you have followed what has been written so far,and accept that you are a product of your own accepted programme,you might be feeling a little angry.

I know I was when I really did realize that I was little more than a conditioned response to stimulus,and little more than a programmed robot.

I wanted to change that.I no longer wanted to be in the prison of my imagination.

Deep down I knew that there had to be a better way of life.

What sort of life is it when you spend your time worrying about a non-existent future,or worry about something you have done or said in the past?

Is it a happy one?
No, not at all.
It is like life is just one long endless stream of anxieties,whether it is money,health,your job,lack of job,your children, parents, or the sorrowful state of the World.Non-stop.
What do we want?
Aristotle said, above everything else,we all want happiness.
We think we will be happy with the new T.V.or new home.Yet, when we manage to get these things,we find that we are still not happy.
What can be done?

To change what you perceive as outside,you firstly have to change what is inside.

If you want to change what you see in the mirror,you must firstly change your movements so the mirror(the perceived outside) reflects this.

Remember, it is all a dream- a persistent illusion made up by your mind.
But you (the real you, not the fictional one) have got to take back control of your ship,and steer
 it into the port of happiness,although you have never really left that safe harbour.
Only then will you start living as you are meant to live.

What you have to do is exactly the same as when you have lucid dreams.

Lucid dreams when you are dreaming with your eyes shut.

Lucid dreaming is probably one of the most entertaining activities known.

Lucid dreaming is when you become aware that you are in a dream,and with that awareness is the fantastic realization that you can make whatever you want happen in your dream.

I have been fortunate enough to be able to practice lucid dreaming,and I can tell you,it is one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had.

If you are not sure exactly what this is, here is a brief explanation.
It is simply a dream in which you are aware that you are dreaming.In this dream(when you are aware) you can make anything happen that you want to happen.

This is 'real' and has been researched scientifically,and proven to be absolutely true.

How do you achieve this wonderful state?

When I first read about this, many years ago,I thought it would be very difficult,and that you had to be very advanced spiritually to do this.
How wrong I was.
A week later I was having lucid dreams every night!They were astonishing.

One I remember very well was when I created a forest, a lake, a huge mountain,and a beautiful red rose that I made grow and bloom right in front of my eyes! I then flew high in the sky.

My perception of these dreams was more vivid,had more clarity,than my every day waking experiences.
I think I was lucky to achieve this after such a short time, but a number of people have managed to do this, after short periods  of time. Some people might take longer- just persevere until you can do it.

I suspect that the reasons my lucid dreaming came so quickly,after I had heard about it,was because, at that time, I  was immersed in books about the unreal state we all live in,and it was, more or less, all I was thinking about at the time.

I am sure that there are a lot of different methods to enter this state, but what I did was the following.

1. Throughout the day I reminded myself that this 'reality' is really a dream.

2.  I said to myself repeatedly throughout the day that tonight I am going to have lucid dreams.

3. Before falling asleep I kept telling myself that I was going to have lucid dreams.

This is all I did for about a week.
Nothing happened at all for the first few days, but on the sixth night I was suddenly aware that I was dreaming.Unfortunately, I got so exited that I woke up.The same thing happened the next night.
However, on the third night, I managed to keep myself calm when I realized that I was having a lucid dream.

I do suggest that you give this a try,as it prepares you to take control of your everyday life.

Think of it;if you can control your eyes shut dreams, you can control your eyes wide open dreams.

One aspect of it is, you can solve problems with lucid dreaming.
For example,if you have a fear about something, in the dream you face up to your fear.
If, for example, you are scared of going in lifts or planes,you can arrange a dream where you travel in a lift or a plane,and thoroughly enjoy it.You will then find,in your eyes wide open dream that your fear has left you.

It is an extremely powerful healing tool.

While you are preparing  yourself for lucid dreaming, you will slowly, but surely start changing what is within you.
The next chapter will point the way.

How To Wake Up From Your Fevered Dream Chapter five.

"All that money spent on weapons, to maim and destroy,all those killing fields, full of dying girls and boys."Lyrics from War Is Evil, by Mike Selley.

One strong argument that would indicate that the beings who run this Planet are not human is the following one.

Do you know anyone who has ever agreed with War?
Humans do not like War.

Could you send a whole generation of teenagers to certain death,injury and untold suffering?

As Mark Twain said;"All War must be just the killing of strangers against whom, in other circumstances,you would help,if you found them in trouble,and would help you if you needed it".

Could you bomb innocent people and flatten entire Cities,using the most diabolical weapons that cause intense suffering.?
Could you use cluster bombs,white phosphorous and the Devil knows what else we are never told about?
Well, I certainly could not,and I don't think you could.

The rulers of this Planet though, have been using War since time began.

Strange that nobody wants War, but we still keep having it, isn't it?

The Elite think nothing of death to advance their agenda, be it Millions or one.

The classic argument that claims they are human is that they  are human, but lack what most of us have;they do not have empathy,and therefore do not experience the same feelings we do.
When we hear about War, we feel very sad. They don't as they are incapable of  such emotions.

If that is true(and they certainly appear to lack empathy) how come almost every ruler since way back when has lacked empathy?
Look at our History- it is just War after War.
How come that most of our World leaders  appear to have such a cruel disregard for life?

It is this way of thinking that has made me suspect that they are not of the human seed.

However, they know how to manipulate us too well, unfortunately.

Here we are, in a so called advanced Civilization,in the 21st Century, still having War, generation after generation.
I does not seem right.
Anyway, enough anti war rant.Just ponder on the absolute insanity of it.

Let's get back to the principle that we are not who we think we are;we have been conditioned to act in a certain way.

Not only that, but you are living out a programme ,not only  set for you by the mega controlling society, but also , by your own upbringing.
You can't blame your parents,as they were subject to exactly the same programming.

Your past experiences and possibly, past lives(though those past lives are actually happening now,as everything is happening now) all make you act the way you do.

You react(in fact, you don't react-the programme in you reacts) to everything the way it always has.

It's obvious why things always seem to turn out the same way in your life, and why you keep having similar experiences in your life.
A definition of insanity is to keep doing the same things and expect different results.

That is exactly what we do.We are then not entirely sane.
Look at the state of  the Planet.
Do you think we are sane?

Most of us are like robots.
Say, someone insults you.Don't you always react in the same way?
Yes you do, because you have a knee jerk(automatic) response.

It is like someone pushed a button in you and this always produces the same conditioned action or words on your part.It always has and always will.

This is why so many peoples' lives never change, because they are on automatic pilot, and are totally controlled by their past.

This way your life will never change as the life of a sheep never changes.
Your programme does not know how to change by itself.

It doesn't have to be this way.There is a way out that leads you to freedom from all bondage.

The next chapter will be a step on the journey that actually takes you to where you already are, but are totally unaware of.
Chapter six will follow shortly.

How To Wake Up From Your Fevered Dream Chapter four.

"Zap into your brain,keep that frequency,till you're half- insane,and can be used easily."Lyrics from Sale Of The Century". by Mike Selley.

On top of all the issues mentioned in the previous chapter,you have that strange invention-the T.V.
This is what you are expected to watch when you are not in the institutions( Schools, Colleges ,etc);the content on this medium has slowly, but persistently moulded the way you are.

Some claim the T.V. is the greatest Hypnotist in the World.
Ever wondered why the news (in every country as far as I know) is delivered in the same way?
A man or a woman is sitting at a desk,staring directly into your eyes,and talking in a slow,calm voice,just like a Hypnotist.

Then you have the soaps,like Eastenders.
People,often without being aware of it,actually use lines from the soap in their daily life.And how strangely addictive they can be.People will not miss one episode of their favourite  serial,and if they are prevented from watching it, they become very upset.Hey, I must have my dose of brainwashing today so turn on the T.V !

If you want a full frontal larger than life dose of programming,and a full attack on your senses,you can go to a building that nearly every town has,and watch, in glorious colour and deafening surround sound that vibrates through your body,role models for you to imitate,and  absorb hidden and subliminal messages,that will control your behaviour

Or, prepare yourself for the future, by experiencing events that are planned in the future, by seeing them happen in films first. This way you become, to some degree ,de-sensitized when the actual event happens.

A lot of film scripts, uncannily, seem to happen a few years, or even decades later.Think of all those disaster movies a good few years ago; now the very same disasters these films depicted,are taking place all around us!

There is a word for all this:it's called Brain- washing.

The definition of Brain-washing is as follows:
A method of systematically changing attitudes and altering beliefs;
a method of controlled systematic indoctrination,especially one based on repetition or confusion.
This is just what we, as a species,have been subjected to since we were children.

If you like, we have been conned!
By whom?
Here's the rub; not only by ourselves, not only by the way Society is run, but on top of this, you have a group of people, who some call the Elite who are  running the show.
They have been running it for some time,and they want the great mass of us to do their bidding.
It's a bit like, how we generally treat animals on a farm- that is how we are treated by the Elite.

 David Icke suggests that they are not, in fact, human, but are shape-shifting lizards who come from another dimension.
Sounds pretty far out, doesn't it?I mean, it's right outside our normal perception of things; shape shifting-oh come on, you might well say.I know I did when I first heard it. I thought it sounded utterly crazy.
But wait a minute.
Could he be right?
People once believed that the World was flat,and was the centre of the Universe; also that the Earth was increasing in size,and that the Universe was unchanging..
All these ideas were wrong.
If anyone, in the old days, said that the World was round,they were considered nuts.And this is just how Mr.Icke's theories are considered by the main stream media.
When I first heard, as I wrote above,about the lizard connection, I thought it was ludicrous.
But after reading that almost everything else D.Icke  had said had come true, I couldn't help but wonder if, just possibly, the lizards are also true,as weird as that may sound.I'd like to think I've got an open mind on the subject.
John Locke had a good take on this when he stated that new opinions are always suspected,and usually opposed,without any other reason, but because they are not already common.
That is the end of chapter four.The next chapter should follow shortly.

Come Together,Right Now.....

Things are hotting up.The props are all in place,having been put there while we were watching reality shows,cookery competitions,a Prince getting married,listening to inane songs,with videos full of Occult messages and swimming pools,and reading about famous people suddenly, mysteriously dying.

The actors are now centre stage,waiting for the curtain to rise for the final act.

The script was written way back,and the actors have been busy rehearsing for the grand finale.

Meanwhile, we have got to be distracted for just a short time longer.

So they have wheeled out that old favourite, the Olympic Games, and as a side show(in the U.K),an 80+ old woman, and her 90 year old husband can be seen going from town to town, muttering something about a Jubilee,so the adoring crowds can get real close to real parasites.

It really is so easy.

The actors have been a bit surprised though that some people have got to know what the plot of the play is.

And the ones in the know do not like the plot one little bit.

Well, would you like to go to a play,when in the final act , they try to kill most of you?

I don't think so.

This has got the actors a trifle worried.Not too worried though, as their arrogance and egos' are so huge they cannot really imagine the audience rushing the stage,and changing their plans.

After all said and done,they have got their own way for centuries.Anyway, they have these super guard dogs,dressed as spacemen,with great new weapons, such as taser guns, and those old favourites,tear gas,nerve gas and water cannon,to keep the common rabble from getting out of order.

If this fails,they have the Army, and drones in the sky.

In the case of the Olympic Games,they are taking no chances,and are using both types of guard dogs, the Police and Army.
Anybody who gets too brazen can be put in a cage.

The rioters in London last year got longer sentences than most muggers and sex criminals, so this should put people off trying any funny business.- so they think.

But the trouble is, a lot of the audience are sick of the play, and they want it to stop now.They don't want the final act.

The number who are fed up to the teeth with the play is growing at an amazing rate day by day.

The actors though don't realize this; they still think it is only a small minority who have woken up.This can be seen by the absurd comments made by the Members of Parliament, in most countries,who,  after witnessing vast numbers show their anger at the grossly unjust and unfair  measures imposed on them ,usually say that it's the fault of a few trouble makers.

This is good.
It means that they are deceived for once.
It is usually us who are deceived.
So the tables are already starting to turn.

We have started to heckle more and more,and their reaction, of course, is the usual one,which is to fire tear gas, nerve gas, pepper spray,water cannon, or to throw us into cages.

This is a big mistake on their part,as this really annoys us- far more than they can comprehend; they think that we are scared, but we are not.What's more, we film them and plaster it all over You Tube, and this shows the World how stupid, primitive and uncivilized  such behaviour is.
It also shows how frightened the powers that be  must be, to let the Police behave in such a barbaric way.

But the other factor which they have  really miscalculated, is that by their disgraceful and violent actions, they are bringing us, the people, together on a scale not seen for centuries.And this is the one thing that the Elite do not want.

Divide and rule has been the name of the game for as long as any one can remember.
If we are no longer divided,but all together,they are finished,and they know it.

I believe there is one characteristic in the genuine human spirit that these monsters who rule do not have.It is not in their D.N.A.The proof of this can be seen by their actions.
They know we have this wonderful trait, and have always tried to stamp it out using the divide and rule ploy.

The  particular trait is -Empathy.

Empathy is the action of understanding,being aware of,being sensitive to and experiencing the feelings, thoughts and experience of another- imaginatively entering into another person's personality and experiencing his feeling.

It is our empathy that will be the rulers undoing,and it will bring us together.

The whole World- all 7 billion of us  are now in the same sinking, stinking boat,whatever our Nationality, Religion or skin colour.
We know we are all going through the same (with different degrees of) suffering,and we feel for each other.
We know that it is us against them.
When this empathy reaches a critical point,the play they have been playing will be shut down,just like that.

It is us who will then write and direct the play that we want to be in.
A play about sharing,not dividing; a play about peace ,not war; a play about compassion, not cruelty.
In the meantime, don't be distracted by the side shows.

Greek Tragedy In A Lab' ?

As the on going Greek crisis goes from bad to worse; as despair is the spirit moving through this once wonderful country; as the cry of the people is surely drifting up to those amazing Greek Gods, it is hard to actually believe that this insanity is really happening.

It is beyond all rational belief that a group of people,would want to, would dare to, inflict such severe pain upon the Greek people, without any concern whatsoever, for the truly awful suffering it is causing in every single area of life.

What's more, these people who have given us the austerity measures- don't they really realize that it will not work?

They are all educated(hey, maybe, that's the problem!), and have got impressive degrees from some of the World's,so called, finest Universities.

The fact is, and this is The Fact,that anyone with a bit of common sense can see, that these austerity measures are far, far too severe, and  will only result in the complete breakdown of Greek Society  in every shape and form.

It is impossible for it to work,and I find it  unbelievable that the Mafia,I mean the Troika. and the fat cats of the Greek Government, cannot admit to seeing this.

Then, I remember, how Gaddafi's son got his degree from the L.S.E., after his father had given that Elite institution , was it one Million Pounds .or some such figure?The L.S.E should really be called the London School of Embezzlement, when you take into account how many people in Governments all over the World have attended this place.

Perhaps this explains a lot.

Most, if not all, of these people in positions of power, come from rich families.

Maybe, all the people in visible positions of power, simply had their educational qualifications paid for by their rich fathers

A lot of rich families interbreed, and this often produces mental retardation in the offspring..Is it possible that most of them, are, in fact, simply stupid, and pretend to be intelligent?

After all, they are only puppets, and their job is to simply follow the orders that they are given.

As long as they dress smartly, master a few social skills, and can read the script( some though, still need tele prompters) they can get away with it, just. Think of George Bush, Gordon Brown, Karamanlis- don't you think that there is something lacking in them?

Perhaps the sick, insane psychopaths who rule this planet love to choose such types, as they haven't the brains to question  what they are doing.

This leads me to the awful conclusion, that the Greek Government and the Troika actually do believe that the measures are going to work, simply, because they are dumb.

Or, is the whole wicked game simply an experiment, to see how much the human spirit can take?

A trial run, before it is unveiled for every country in the World?
O.K. other countries now have austerity measures, but, believe you me, nothing like Greece has.

Depending on the Greeks reaction, the next stage for the World will be suitably tweaked and modified, after they have studied the findings.

On reflection, I suspect that it is a bit of both.The evil ones behind the scenes who we never see are conducting this experiment, and the Troika and the Greek Government, who both lack brain cells, just go along with it.

And we, of course, are the ones  who suffer .

A Greek Tragedy, but one done in a lab?

The Grief In Greece.

The number of suicides in Greece has gone up 40% since 2011(according to The Guardian 18.12.2011).

Before the crisis began 3 years ago, Greece had the low suicide rate of 2.8 per 100.000 people.It now has double that number.

Attempted suicides have also increased.

This is in a country where the Orthodox  Church  refuses funeral rights for those who take their lives.There is a stigma attached to this awfully sad form of death.

Before the crisis, the 24 hour Suicide Hotline received 10 calls a day.It now gets more than 100 in any 24 hour period.

Most are men and  women between 30 and 50, and men between 40 and 50 despairing over economic problems.

Unemployment is sky-high;I don't. believe the figures given,but I suspect  it is something like 70 to 80 %.

There are over 20.000 homeless in central Athens.

Drug use is on the rise.

Mental health problems,depression, neuroses,and cases of self harm are surging.

Psychiatrists have reported a 30% increase in demand for their services.

Child Helpline have been swamped with calls; stress levels of children are through the roof.

No of businesses closed in 2011, 68000(as on 25.9.2011).Since then it has got even worse, but I have not been able to locate the actual figures up to the present day.

It just goes on and on;people lose their jobs,lose homes,lose dignity and pride. Family life suffers as rows increase under the unbearable tension all the time.

The whole scenario is just unbelievable.

And some people are still going to vote in the Elections that are due shortly !!

I live in Greece, and  despite the opinion polls saying some people will vote,everyone I speak to, whether young or old,all say that they will never vote for anyone ever again.

Maybe the opinion polls are a complete fabrication in a desperate attempt to make us believe that everything is still normal,and the sick system is still working.

Well, it's not;it's over.

The Greeks want to take their lives, and their country back,and to get rid of the same old faces that have dominated Greek politics  for far too long. They have been sussed to who they really are,and that the interests of the people is the last thing on their minds,as they only care for what is in it for them.Thank goodness the majority of Greeks understand this,and will not be fooled again.

The question is ,is it really possible to get rid of the sick, corrupt way?

The powers that be will fight tooth and nail to keep their positions.

Perhaps they forget that they are only a few against a formidable number of over 11 million people.

I'd say the odds are stacked against them. Wouldn't you?





I live in Greece and it's strange that everyone I speak to ,whether young or old,all say that they will never vote

They're Runnin' Scared.

With apologies to   Roy Orbison,not forgetting Joe Melson, who co- penned the original "Runnin'Scared".

They're Runnin' Scared

Each place they go

So afraid of what we know.

They're Runnin' Scared

What would they do

If we remembered

What we once knew.

They're Runnin' Scared

Feeling low

Robbing us, they love it so.

Runnin' Scared,afraid to lose

Privilege and power

Murder and abuse.

Now at long last we have banished fear

We see through their deceit,going on for years

The table turns as we take back our World

Return it to our children,and the future's boys and girls.

Greek Drama

One particular episode in the never- ending crisis in Greece has got stuck in my mind and refuses to go way.
It is  the image of Evangelos Venizelos, who was the Finance Minister in Pasok until recently;the event in question took place a good few weeks ago.
The Finance Minister was asked by a reporter, why Greece, after receiving a massive bailout.was yet deeper in recession.
His reply:"The austerity measures we introduced were so severe, it meant people were unable to give us the money we wanted".
The reporter then asked:"What can be done about that?"
Venizelos made this unbelievable reply:"We are going to have more austerity measures."
I have paraphrased the above exchange.
By the way, one definition of insanity is doing the same things over again ,hoping for different results.
So let's get this straight.Let's apply this logic, to, say, a farmer whose crop failed because of a drought.Imagine him telling a friend that his crop failed because of a lack of rain,and that he now hopes for a further drought as this should solve the problem.
This is obviously complete madness.
The Financial Times announced at the end of last year that Evangelos Venizelos, was in their opinion, the worst Finance Minister of the year
It is wonderful to read a main stream paper  actually say something,for once, that is true.
And it is this guy who wants to be the next leader of Pasok!
According to opinion polls published recently,13.5% of voters want to vote for Pasok in the next election in late April, early May 2012.(23% want to vote for New Democracy).Unbelievable really!
This election is a total farce, as both these parties are simply carrying out orders from their masters in Europe.
Democracy does not exist in Greece.
I find it almost impossible to believe how anyone would vote for anyone as  both these parties have agreed  to do the same things.
Were these opinion polls conducted in Lunatic Asylums?
Or are they just complete lies?
It is claimed that Evangelos is a bully and shouts down anyone who disagrees with him.
It is interesting to note that this guy gave the M.P's the law that means Greek M.P's are  practically immune from prosecution for cases of Political corruption.
So, all in all, just another member of the corrupt evil Elite who rule (and ruin) our lives.
For the record I don't support  or believe in any Political parties, whether it is left, right, middle or what have you.
Their track records prove that they are all absolutely beyond useless, and very bad for our health, and disastrous for our pockets.
My song"No Smoking" on this blog gives my views on this.

In Praise Of David Icke.

David Icke is telling us to remember who we are-Remember Who You Are is his latest book.
I think the World will certainly remember Mr.Icke,and although he has been ridiculed and laughed at for his, so called, far out conspiracy theories,I do believe that the time will come when he will be praised:he will be accepted for what he is: a beacon of light shining through the dark mess we are all in.

He will,I believe,be remembered as someone who fearlessly gave the facts to the people,and he does this because of his love of humanity.

In short,he will be considered as a pioneer:one of the few who helped lift the sleep from our eyes.
One of those special people,who only comes  once in a blue moon.,to help us, in these times of great change.

To my mind, he is by far the best researcher on the net.
If he puts forward a case, he has very strong evidence,or, if not actual evidence,he explains in his own unique way,why such and such is believed by him.

A good example of this is his intuitive idea that the Moon is not what we think it is.
He believes that it is a hollowed out structure,or possibly a spacecraft.
He hasn't (yet) got actual evidence for this,but he explains how the Moon is, according to scientists,exceedingly strange,and,in fact,should not be the size it is, as it is far too big for this planet.Some scientists say it should not be there at all.He presents many more startling facts about  our peculiar satellite to support his theories.

As this age emerges from the dark night it has been in,while the ego structures,like the banking system,and big business  are in the throes of collapsing,and humanity is moving from its childhood to adulthood: as we reach the peak of the age of ego where selfishness and greed are,at present, at an all time high; when confusion, chaos and lies are the order of the day, David Icke's site is an oasis of truth in a World of lies.

How To Wake Up From Your Fevered Dream Chapter three.

"Education is the great orchestration of your mind's desecration, to destroy expectation,to give false information,to condemn innovation, to mock inspiration".Lyrics from "Education", by Mike Selley..

From the moment of birth you are given a name, an identity.
You are told that you are Bert Smith Or Jane Jones.
For the first few precious years you do not take much notice of this.
You are happy enough to be part of everything,and do not centre on your so called identity.
Remember what Jesus said:
"Truly I say unto you, unless you are converted and become like little children, you will not enter the Kingdom Of Heaven".
Are these first few years the only time we can be really happy?
It is only when you reach the age of four or five that you really start to to believe that you are a separate being with a name.
It is then that the rot sets in.
You are sent to an institution that is called a School,and against all your natural inclinations, are forced to sit most of the day in a room with a lot of other separate beings.
Here a grown up(who has gone through the same system) will talk to you all day,and force you to do and repeat what you have been told.
You would like to be outside playing, or at home with your family.
But, no, this is the way it is always done;you have to do the same.
For about six to eight hours a day you have to sit still and concentrate on all this strange new information.
You are told how you have got to view the World,The Universe and Society.
As long as you accept and believe what is told to you,you will be praised and made to feel good.
They used to put golden stickers or stars on exercises well done in Primary Schools in England.Wow, I've got  golden stars.aren't I good!You will be rewarded for accepting the conditioning.
If you don't do exactly what you are told,you will, in some way be punished and therefore you will suffer.
From the age of five until your late teens you are kept in this institution.
Then, when you reach the age when you are becoming very aware of sex, the institution really makes you go through it,by giving you examinations.Forget your body, get in your mind !These exams are given to see whether the conditioning worked.If you do well in the exams, Society accepts you as one of its own.
You will be given a very impressive looking certificate with your very own name on it.If the conditioning has not worked,well, life, most likely,will not be so easy for you. However, quite a lot of people who have not finished School,or who have flunked the exams have gone on to be very rich.
You might then decide to continue being programmed,so you go to College or University for another two to four years.
If you have lapped up everything you were told to do, you will be given a funny looking hat to wear: everyone will praise you,and you will get another wonderful looking certificate.
In you late teens or early twenties you will be a suitable entity or resource to be used in and by Society.
As Pink Floyd said:
"Just another brick in the wall".
Oh yes, you will note, and this is true of the last few years, that the creative side of you is hardly catered for.
The artistic side is mostly ignored by the Schools.Painting, Drawing, Singing, Dancing, playing a musical instrument- these subjects are given less and less importance.
It is the rational,logical side of you that is focused on.

How To Wake Up From Your Fevered Dream Chapter two.

"What a Strange Dream to be dreaming, what a Strange Dream it seems, when the truth is so different, so different from my dreams". Lyrics from Strange Dream by Mike Selley.

The dreams you dream at night,who creates them?
You do,as you create the other dream,your everyday consciousness.
One set of dreams when you sleep and create dream worlds.
Another set of dreams when you 'wake up' and create more dreams-this time with your eyes wide open.When your eyes open after sleeping you are not really waking up, but moving from one type of dreams to another type; you think, because you have opened your eyes that you have woken up, but you haven't.You are merely continuing dreaming, but you are totally unaware of this,as you are totally unaware,when you are  dreaming that you are dreaming at night.
We are all sharing a collective dream when we are in our everyday awareness state(or should I say asleepness -made up word- state.)
It is all illusion.
Why don't you dream happy dreams at night.every night?
After all, you are making the dreams up.
Did you know that people from all over the World,dream mostly of the same things.
The most common emotions experienced in dreams are:
anxiety and negative emotions.
Common themes are:
situations relating to school,
being chased,
running slowly in one place,
sexual experience, falling,
arriving too late.
seeing a person, now alive, being dead,
teeth falling out,
embarrassing moments,
failing an exam,
not being able to move,
not being able to focus,
car accidents,and 12% of people dream only in black and white:
8% of men and women have dreams with sexual content.
Calvin S. Hall collected more than 50,000 dream reports from all over the world from 1940 to 1985 to discover all the above about dreams.
Freud and Jung both claimed that dreams are an interaction between the conscious and the unconscious, and that the unconscious is the dominant force of the dream.
Historically dreams were used for healing,as well as for guidance and divine inspiration.

Jung claimed that dreams are seen as projections of parts of the self that have been ignored,rejected or suppressed.He thought every person in the dream represented an aspect of the dreamer.
Fritz Perls went further to say that even inanimate objects in the dreams my represent aspects of the dreamer.
The dreamer may be asked to imagine being an object in the dream,then describe it, in order to bring into awareness the characteristics of the object that correspond with the dreams personality.
Strangely enough, MR1 scans of sleeping volunteers brain scans shows that  most of the dream activity takes place in the region of the brain which was most active during the day.
There is an interesting exercise called Dream Pre-Programming which is the hypnotic practice to make a person control his dreams.
One way it is done is to tell the person that when they fall asleep they will see a button,and if they want to enter 'Dreamscape' they should press that button.Then they will enter a world just like the Earth,but have total control,and control what is going on with their mind.
Dream Pre -Programming can also help someone before a test, or a big event in life.
The hypnotist would make the subject dream that everything is going just great.
Perhaps dreams are like the cleaning up operation of computers when they are off line,removing parasitic nodes from the mind during sleep.
But the trouble is, it is hard to understand dreams when viewing them from another dream!I mean our eyes wide open dream.
We are all making up( other peoples creations get tangled in too) what is happening in our lives.

To quote Shakespeare ;
"We are such stuff as dreams are made on,and our little life is rounded with a sleep".
So why don't we make up a really happy life?
Because another controller is deciding what experiences you encounter.
This controller is usually called the subconscious.
Yes, your subconscious controls, not only your sleeping dreams,but also your 'awake'dreams.And it can make you very unhappy.

Jung said:"Until you make the unconscious conscious ,it will direct your life and you will call it fate".
Why is this state of affairs?
Put simply, we are looking at life through the incorrect aperture,and perceiving it through a tiny hole.
We are not getting the 'real'picture,but getting a fuzzy, distorted version.
In fact,having a fevered dream.
Or as Blake put it so well:
"If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite."
How did this come about?
To find that out means to go down a long rabbit hole.
But why ask yourself why you are in prison?
As Rousseau said:
"Man was born free and everywhere he is in chains".
Wouldn't it be more sensible to try and get out of the prison,and then you can find out how you got there in the first place?
Yes, something is seriously wrong with our doors of perception.
"A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees" That's from William Blake.
How can we put it right?
It is not a question of learning.To quote Suzuki again:
"Ignorance is the beginning of knowledge,and the truth of things is not to be obtained by piling knowledge upon knowledge,which means no more,no less than intensifying ignorance".
No, the only way to end this sad situation,is to unlearn certain things you believed to be true.
How do you do this?
In the next chapter we will take a closer look at the human condition.Next chapter to follow shortly.

How To Wake Up From Your Fevered Dream>

Ekhart tolle says that if the human race didn't have drink or drugs most of us would be mad.
We would not be able to handle life.
Why is life like this?
Don't you ever wonder?
Deep down you know that it shouldn't be.You know that there is something wrong.
You feel,a lot of the time,in a state of agitation;you feel restless or uncontrolled.It's like you have a fever.
What's more,you are asleep,very much asleep.Dreaming, dreaming a fevered dream.This is the way of the human race.We are all having a fevered dream,but are totally unaware of this staggering truth.
If you managed to wake up,you would be very happy.And yes,you are meant to be very happy, believe it or not.It is your birthright.

***********************************************

For many, a lot of what you are going to read will seem very strange and against your belief system.For others, some of what you read will hit home,and you will know that what you are reading is the truth.You will feel like you have met an old friend who you haven't seen for years.That happened to me when I came across various wonderful sayings that have been given to us by great teachers.I just knew that what they said was true.
You see, the simple truth is that you are living in a world of lies,but are unaware of this great deception.I don't mean how the Politicians,the Bankers,Big Pharma lie to us all the time.I mean the entire set up,from birth to death.
For starters, you believing you are, is a fiction.
"Life is an illusion,but a persistent one".
Do you know who said that?
Is it an old Indian saying?
No.Einstein said it.
Strangely enough, the greatest teachers of the human race all said the same thing.
The enlightened Zen Master, D.T. Suzuki, who helped spread Zen to the West, through his wonderful books,said;
"The idea of being is the product of false thinking.Because of this,there is subject and object,which we call an error".(Living By Zen page 42,published by Rider.)
Also:"The triple world exists only because of the mind".(Essays In Zen Buddhism, page 183, Published By Rider)
And this from another great teacher, Blofeld,in his book,Zen Teaching Of Hui Hai:
"The vast Universe is a creation of our own minds existing in that mind with which our minds in truth are identical".
What's more, Quantum Physics is coming to the same conclusion.
Grasp this;an Atom only exists if you measure it. Read that again.Do you realize what this means?
It means that we create the Atom- and everything else.
We are imagining everything. Our brains(which are, as we shall see later, an illusion) create our reality.
As the famous Astronomer, James Jean ,said:
"Today there is a wide measure of agreement that the stream of knowledge is heading towards a non- mechanical reality.The Universe begins to look more like a great thought, than a machine".
The act of seeing takes place in the brain.Every experience we have is actually taking place in a tiny part of your brain.
The Astronomer, Arthur Eddington, put it like this:
"The stuff of the Universe is mind stuff".
Seeing, hearing, feeling, touching,smelling,are all signals in your brain.You are not seeing anything out there-outside yourself.
So everything we see as matter is only electrical impulses in our brain.
Matter has no existence outside of the mind.
When you sleep, you dream and believe that what you dream is real.It is just the same in our 'awake' state.
"Waking life is a dream controlled"G. Santayana.
It must be understood that although we perceive that 'reality' is'only' taking place in our heads,our heads don't exist either!
Everything ,including our bodies, is imagined by us.Through our five senses we are interpreting data which we then transform into the world we live in.
From the Cybernetics field,David Foster said:
"Our brains mathematically construct reality by interpreting frequencies from a dimension transcending Time and Space.The Brain is a Hologram interpreting a Holographic Universe".
Quantum Physics also states that everything in our world is in wave form.Plus, the person doing the experiment influences the outcome, so consciousness changes the results.
Everything is frequencies;think of when you watch T.V.or listen to the Radio,you are tuned to a certain frequency
We are tuned to the frequency that gives us the illusion of this Universe.
If we could change our frequency(as you can on a Radio, to change stations) we would no longer be in this Universe, but on another frequency, experiencing a different set of images,in another Universe.
It is suspected that there are countless (though some claim there are eleven)Universes(other frequencies) all around us.
I know it is hard to believe after a lifetime of being taught that we live in a material Universe, to discover that there is no such thing as matter.
Look at the table. To your touch it feels solid, but it is not solid at all.
Everything that appears solid is the same.
There is far more empty space in that table than anything else.
We interpret the Universe this way.
Everything is made up by the mind.
And the mind, the body, the brain, they are all made up too.
"If it vibrates, it is illusion:"David Icke.
