This is a new series of articles to help people wake up from their fevered dream.
I believe that we are are living in a collective dream that we all share when our eyes are open, but it is possible to wake up while we are dreaming.
Hopefully, the exercises described in this series will assist people in waking up .
^^^^^^^^^^^
This exercise appears very simple, but what's wrong with simple ?
Can you imagine if things didn't have labels or names ?
We give everything a label or a name.What happens if you take the name away from the object ?
You can find out now.
To do this I suggest you sit down, though you could do this while standing up.
1. Put a bowl of fruit ( anything will do ) on a table and sit by the table.
2.Now, try and forget that the table is called a table, and that the bowl of fruit is called a bowl of fruit.
They have no names. Simply banish the idea of names from your mind. Imagine a world that doesn't have words for everything. Yes, it's hard to do, but it can be done.
3. Look in a relaxed state at the bowl of fruit.
4 If you don't succeed first of all in convincing yourself that these things have no name, practise doing this everyday for about five minutes.
5. You should, in time, have the feeling that what you are looking at is not called anything.
6. Then, at that precise moment your doors of perception will change.
7. The bowl of fruit will suddenly have more clarity, as will the table.
They will appear to have a much stronger ( and yet at the same time a somewhat dreamlike quality) presence and will somehow seem more alive.
Try it. You should be amazed at how you see what you are looking at so differently; it's like you are in another universe
