When you understand the implications of excessive personal
identifications with worldly things and rid yourself of all the
useless dreams you give your energy to, you start to learn to
individualise your own consciousness and gain more power over
what kind of reality or what kind of 'dream of life' you want to

you are always dreaming, even when 'awake'. Moreover, through
this realisation, you begin to have more control over whether you
want to ‘dream’ at all. If you’ve ever wondered about the meaning
of grace, this is it. By stopping dreaming and surrendering to the
flow of life, you’ll realise that you never needed to control anything
in your life in the first place, and everything happens naturally as
it does anyway.
“True initiates do not dream. Dreams are for those who are
