Dreaming a Little Dream

I had a dream recently that repeated itself, similar to “Groundhog Day.” Sometimes the characters played different roles. When I realized the story was repeating, I chose to be observant, stepping back from the role I was in. I then found I could place myself where I wanted to be before the sequence began again. that way I did not have to be in the role of victim or of condemner. Most times I was self concerned with my comfort, other times I just wanted to to be the observer and not play an active part. Towards the end I was compassionate of the other “actors” for most of them knew they were playing a role but had no idea of how to stop playing.

My impression is, that I chose this role (in this life) that I am playing. It is a repetition so that I can choose differently this time.  ”Trials are but lessons that you failed to learn presented once again, so where you made a faulty choice before you now can make a better one, and thus escape all pain that what you chose before has brought to you. In every difficulty, all distress, and each perplexity Christ calls to you and gently says, “My brother, choose again.” He would not leave one source of pain unhealed, nor any image left to veil the truth.”  T-31.VIII.3,1-3

I can stop playing the role of victim. I can be compassionate and gentle. I can give up the judging, which only keeps the illusions in place. I can love myself instead of attacking myself. That is what this “school house” is for.

Dear lord, help me to remember my only purpose here. My true desire is to wake from the dream I made; to accept the Love I am and everyone is. I surrender my thoughts of separation and accept wholeness instead. Thank You very much. Amen.
