When weโre unaware that we share the power to co-create reality with the universe itself, that power slips away from us, causing our dream to become a nightmare. We begin to feel weโre the victims of an unknown and frightening creation that weโre unable to influence, and events seem to control and trap us. The only way to end this dreadful reality is to awaken to the fact that it too is a dreamโand then recognize our ability to write a better story, one that the universe will work with us to manifest.
Alberto VilloldoWhen the waters of a lake are absolutely still, the lake reflects the trees, the sky, and everything around it perfectly. At the slightest breeze, with the smallest ripple in the waters, the lake reflects nothing but itself. To see another with clarity and objectivity, one first must master stillness. The slightest breeze of judgment or interpretation from the rational mind will create a ripple that shatters Awareness and returns us to ordinary perception.
