The Dreaming Emperor

Beyond the mind is the Seer from which all things arise - All thoughts and all objects.

The Seer is like an ocean and all things that arise and disappear are waves of this ocean.

You are a wave in this ocean but the veil that creates your identity makes you feel separate from this ocean. You can become conscious that you are connected to this ocean only if you drop all thoughts for a second.

For a second let there be NO word in your mind...

NO Word is NOW. You are now a part of the Ocean and not apart.

You are now the dream of the Dreamer - the relationships, the house, the vehicle, the food, all have become dreams of the Dreamer.

The dreamer and the dream are one and not separate. The ocean and the waves are one and not separate.

And, there is only one ocean, which is the Emperor of all that exists! So, you are a dream of this Emperor. And your personal desires and goals are dreams within these dreams. Realise that the Emperor's desires and goals for you become the Emperor's dreams when you silence your mind for a while and remove the veil that separates you! An Emperor dreams big compared to you, so it's wise to allow yourself to be the Emperor's dream!!!

The Pursuit Of Balance

In a world of duality, opposites exist so that you can experience each attribute that exists. In the absence of darkness you cannot experience light. In the absence of smallness you cannot experience bigness.

Experiencing the opposites is like learning to ride a bicycle. You tilt to the left and you tilt to the right before you can come to the center and ride with balance. At times you can even fall down and hurt yourself which is similar to becoming an alcoholic who goes out of balance with over drinking. Sometimes to regain balance, an alcoholic quits drinking completely for a few years only to fall back into the habit of drinking again. This is a pendulum movement of your consciousness for attaining balance at the center of consciousness. When you finally attain balance, and the “pendulum” hovers close to the center, then you automatically feel light. That is enlightenment!

The pursuit of enlightenment does not lead to enlightenment but the pursuit of balance does.

When in balance, apart from the feeling of lightness which results in a spring in your step at every moment, you will also feel gladness and satisfaction. This feeling is very similar to the one you may have felt when you actually first learned to ride a bicycle without any props.

Some tips for attaining balance:

1. Engaging wholeheartedly with life but also withdrawing from activities at least once a day by doing some form of meditation. Getting adequate sleep as well.
2. Engaging in selfless service thereby giving you balance because there is no expectation of material gain or fear of material loss.
3. Engaging in daily exercise to help the body and mind remain in balance.
4. Pursuing passions accompanied with compassion like a mother tending to her child.
5. A balanced diet designed by a nutritionist to help in getting your organs into balance.
6. Knowing that sadness is okay and embracing it when it comes because it must balance happiness.
7. Knowing that pain is okay and embracing it when it comes because it must balance pleasure.
8. Not judging, people, places and circumstances, to help you remain at the center because you are not swaying your consciousness towards “good” or “bad”. Viewing everything just as it is. Black is black and not good or bad! Knowing that it is beneficial to observe what is working for you and what is not, and acting accordingly.
9. Acceptance of things, outside of yourself, as they are, as a powerful tool towards being in balance. If you cannot accept things, then accept the responsibility to change them as a selfless service, to begin with.
10. Not feeling inferior or superior to anyone or anything. You are unique and awesome just as you are!
11. Being natural. Refraining from putting on dramas with people you engage with.
