THE MYTH OF REALITY

The Myth of Dreaming

Are dreams real? Are they real experiences, couched in symbols our mind can understand, but cannot comprehend directly? Dreams are real. This any lucid dreamer can tell you. People who have passed to us, return in dreams, and often in present reality, come back to tell us they have not died, and they are as much a part of us as ever. The world is as such a dream life, something we understand in terms we are familiar with. The question is, how do we know dreams are real, and what do they mean for our life now?

The Lost Worlds and the New Horizon

Have people in this world lost the art of imagination, the art of dreaming? Gradually the mythological figures of the past are being denied or like Peter Pan, being made as darker figures living only in a movie image. Mankind seems hellbent on making the world so real, hard and material, that the fantasy figures such as elves have drifted away or disappeared. But still on Iceland they say 50% of Icelanders believe in the existence of elves.

The call to the lost world that is a true world is still on for many people. They would like to live in Eden, here and now. If they would only believe. I once visited Yellowstone, and a stout little fellow came up to me. I was as sure of this as I am of being here. He came around to simply introduce himself, and make the world he knew also real to me. That is, so I would know it was not just the play of imagination.

The new horizon is a greater universe that includes the physical realm, but is really a larger dimensional world within. It must include the connection to the physical, as much as we will allow it. We don't suggest losing touch with reality. The key is between them, and within us. People caught up in life and living can mistake this world for all that it is. This leads them away from the real. But it is often the dreamer person who gets the most lost. This is a curious condition.

A true Myth

A true myth is a story that tells the truth, even if it is not all factual in the material or worldly sense. A true myth does tell of true people and a living people, within its' story. The writer knows nothing written is actually the truth, for the recall and point of view are always partially obscure. This does not deny the reality underneath the myth. It also highlights the aspect of reality that is of our own creation. It comes of our belief and viewpoint and what we have been taught.

The Underworld and the Ameriginal people

Long time ago, the aboriginals were the oldest people on Earth. In the Americas, there are Ameriginal people as well. I recalled a life as an Ameriginal, a primitive, native tribe person living in a small band of travelers who lived on the land. The Ameriginals were also those born today who have such ancestors. We may not remember, but each of us has such history.

Those who claim their heritage of the land and people have no desire to control or deny the world culture or nationalities of anyone, including those living Americans. There is however a freedom and truth in being an Ameriginal, which does give us liberty even while living as a race and nationality, to know this truth; Ameriginals know our freedom is not based on being of a nation or government, that we are born of ancient ancestors, not just of settlers to this land. And ultimate we all have the same origin. This means, independently, that we have our right to be Ameriginal, and if so, can make any claim to freedom, of itself, without interference with any other group or people.
