Blog 227 – 02.10.2016

In the poem I post today I share what I saw in a little round that many of us were taught as children – “Row, row, row you boat gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.” Just suppose that a loving and all powerful father wanted his children to experience life in all its fullness but in a way that no matter how careless or dangerous their choices no lasting harm would come to them. Today many science fiction movies speculate about virtual worlds where you can do as you please without consequences. What we do even in dreams has consequences in the dream but does that mean we must spend all eternity paying for deeds done in a moment? I don’t think so. Most religions have way too much condemnation, judgement, and guilt for my taste. I choose to believe in a Universe of Mind and Heart where no matter what is done in dreams every child awakes safe and sound in Father’s House, Home at last.

                                                            WHAT’S DONE IN DREAMS

                                                                      By David J. White

                                                                We are often unaware

                                                                Of our subconscious intentions to fail

                                                                Or that by our own negative self-talk

                                                                We make our life a virtual hell.

 

                                                                This world IS what we make it.

                                                                We’ve no one else to blame.

                                                                The hero and villain of our story

                                                                Wear the same name.

 

                                                                “We have discovered the enemy

                                                                And it is us.”

                                                                But we can learn to love our enemy

                                                                And in his innate goodness trust.

 

                                                                This is your dream you made it

                                                                And if that at first sounds a bit strange

                                                                Remember what’s done in dreams can be undone

                                                                For dreamers have the power their dreams to change.

Your friend, fellow traveler, and dreamer,

David White
