"If it is only a dream, why is pain so real?" "A dream head struck against a dream wall causes dream pain. A dreamer is not cognizant of the hallucinatory fabric of a dream until he awakens. Similarly, man does not understand the delusory nature of the cosmic dream of creation until he awakens in God." Paramahansa Yogananda

Telling Our Story

"True Wonderment" Collection of Janet Brown

"Start telling a better-feeling story about the things that are
important to you. Do not write your story like a factual documentary,
weighing all the pros and cons of your experience, but instead tell
the uplifting, fanciful, magical story of the wonder of your own life
and watch what happens. It will feel like magic as your life begins
to transform right before yours eyes, but it is not by magic. It is
by the power of the Laws of the Universe and your deliberate
alignment with those Laws." Abraham-Hicks

Every time we think about our lives we have choices about
the way we tell it. We can go down a road that tells a sad story
or we can go down the road of wonder and richness. In the past
I told a sad story much of the time and guess what!?! I kept
having a sad life. When I read Abraham-Hicks' book Money and
the Law of Attraction
I was stopped by the very first paragraph
which says
"Your money and financial assets; your body's state of wellness,
clarity, flexibility, size and shape; your work environment, how
you are treated, work satisfaction, and rewards-indeed the very
happiness of your life experience in general-is all happening
because of the story you tell. If you will let your dominant intention
be to revise and improve the content of the story you tell every
day of your life, it is our absolute promise to you that your life
will become that ever improving story. For by the power of the
law of attraction it must be!"

The day I read this I went off in to my studio and sat down and
re-wrote the story of my life and was amazed what a blessed
and magical life I came up with. Just my inner world alone was
enough for me to feel incredibly fortunate. Then there was the
beautiful place I live, the art that comes through me, the amount
of art I have sold, I just went on and on. Except for moments
when I wake up in the dark of night and the shadow has a hold
of me, I have never looked back. Life, as a result has been ever
improving.

The Collective Dream

"Shadow Play" Collage on poster board, 15"x15", $125
If you are interested in purchasing this collage please
email me at katherine@katherinetreffinger.com

I have been thinking about the dream we live and
interpreting it ever since my 'Transformation' post
and the request for reading material on it. I don't
know if there is some. If you do know of something
please let me know.

Anyhow, I was thinking about it as energy needing
to be expressed. For example there is so much anger
and conflict in the inner worlds of many of the
individuals of this collective we are part of that the
energy of that must be expressed externally as a
mirror. Hence we have war. We can't get rid of war
without getting rid of the need for the mirror. It
doesn't work that way.

It can get really direct. So many people involved in
causes are part of the cause. They need to do their
inner work so they get involved directly with the
mirror. People fighting clear cutting that have a
tendency to bulldoze for example. It is an awesome
system really. If we look at what pushes our buttons
and look inside where it lives in us we can free
ourselves and participate in freeing the materilization
of it needing to occur.
