He Dreams In Me

We are dreaming the dream of life until we awake. So I say, advisedly: God - your own wonderful human imagination - dreams in you.

People are forever looking for the coming of Christ, but he cannot come from without, for Jesus Christ is already within! He comes when the dreamer in you awakens and the dream comes to its end. As the dreamer awakens, you awaken by a series of events which were predetermined before the world was.

Christ's coming is an internal awakening of the divine dreamer within the individual, signifying the end of the 'dream of life' and initiating a predetermined series of spiritual events that lead to full awareness.

Seeing Christ Through The Eyes Of Paul

When you die you are only dying to this time and space, for you simply step into another time and space to continue your dream. This you will continue to do as long as you remain as sound asleep as you are now. One has to find Christ as his human imagination, and the only God as his I am, operating through his creative power, before he can leave this world.

Death is merely a transition to another dimension of the 'dream of life,' which continues until one awakens to their true identity as Christ (human imagination) and God (I AM). This awakening is the true escape from the cycle of death and rebirth in this world.

The Law

Man thinks he has to work himself out of something, but it is God asleep in you as a living soul, and then we are reborn as a life-giving spirit. We do it here in this little classroom called Earth or beyond the grave, for you cannot die. You can be just as asleep beyond the grave. I meet them constantly, and they are just like this. Same loves and same hates. No change. They will go through it until they finally awake, until they cease to re-act and begin to act.

Life on Earth and even beyond the grave is a dream state where God (man's true self) is asleep as a "living soul." The purpose is to awaken to one's true identity as a "life-giving spirit," which involves ceasing to react to external circumstances and consciously acting from desired states. This awakening can occur in this life or in subsequent experiences beyond the physical death.
