Dreaming - but consciously, for the realization of the kingdom of God

07/21/2010

'Life is but a dream' - so certain poets, mystics, philosophers and dramatists have said. But that is no excuse for allowing yourself to dream or, more precisely, daydream, as many people do. They want this and hope for that, but these disconnected, nonsensical dreams inspired solely by sensuality, sudden whims or laziness are not advisable. We can dream, of course; we must dream, even, provided our dreams are conscious, divine and always oriented towards the good, towards light - towards the kingdom of God on earth, with all beings free at last, living in love and peace. If many more men and women had such dreams more often, they would help them to come true more quickly. It is up to each of us to create sublime images that will contribute towards transforming humankind.
