As Shakespeare said, “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances… and each man in his time plays many parts.” This world, which seems so real, is as much a dream as the dreams we encounter while asleep. Our waking dream seems so real because it has continuity while our dreams at night appear to be random sequences, taking place in unfamiliar surroundings and situations. God is the dreamer, dreaming the play into existence, and God plays all the parts. Everyone who appears in your world is God playing that part for you, the author. “No man comes unto me, save I call him.” Each of us is writing his or her own script. If you are dissatisfied with the play, it is up to you to rewrite the script to make it conform to your idea of what the play should be. You cannot demand that the actors in your play change the character they are portraying. All changes must take place in the mind of the author. ... When you awaken to know that you are God, the Father and author of this magnificent play, you will understand that: “each man in his time plays many parts.”
The physical world is a waking dream or a play, with God as the ultimate dreamer and author, playing all parts. Each individual is the author of their personal script, and any desired changes in the 'actors' (others) or scenes must occur through revision in the author's (one's own) mind.
