Dreaming - but consciously, for the coming of a world of freedom and love

03/18/2014

‘Life is a dream’, poets, philosophers and playwrights have said. And it’s true. But just because earthly life is a dream, there is no reason to let your mind wander, or more precisely, to day-dream or dream things up, as too often happens. People want this, they wish for that… but these disconnected reveries, inspired only by whims and the liking for ease and pleasures, are useful to no one, and especially not to those who indulge in them. It is not forbidden to dream; in fact, you should dream, but only if your dreams are conscious ones inspired by generosity – dreams for the good of all humanity. Everyone is capable of creating mental images of great power that can influence the course of things. So why not dream that the whole world will one day live in love, peace, freedom and joy? If many more men and women often had that kind of dream, they would help them to come true much sooner.
