The Dream of Reality

What is reality if not a dream?

Can you prove it otherwise and not still be in the dream?

I say Heaven on Earth is

God’s perfect dream of Creation,

divine consciousness materializing a world of being and enchantment.

Like a movie projector, divine light throws pictures on the screen.

But acting like apprentice artists painting over their master’s work,

we add a second dream layer spun by our own

thoughts, beliefs, conflict, trauma, struggle, and suffering.

The entire journey of life runs between these two dreamlands.

Awakening from the second dream, we find the original dreamer

in the light-filled landscape of the original dream.

I hope you are enjoying these offerings of mystical poetry. Find more revelations in my books I Am God: Wisdom and Revelation from Mystical Consciousness and Divinity Rising: Beyond Illusion, Suffering, and Death and my third and final volume, Into The Light: Death, Dying, and Beyond. Thank you, John.

The Last Train to Nowhere

We live on a fast-moving train

of plans, schedules, routines, and habits.

The moment we think about our day, we’re on board.

This train never actually goes anywhere,

though it takes on many passengers and tasks,

fills up the years of our lives, then

drops us off disguised as old people.

But sometimes, along the way,

we get off the train

and, startled by beauty,

question the whole routine.

Then we board again and forget.

But try this once in a while:

get off the train,

go outside

to meet a tree or child or breeze.

Ask your soul what it wants most.
