It's a beautiful yet daunting thought that we live in a dream, but it is the truth. In a way, our reality is nothing but an illusion in a sense that the thoughts that pass through our heads crossover each other and create the illusion of points forming, these points being the fabrics of our reality upon which we build our view of the world - that which is 'out there'.
I like how you call the illusory self the 'thought-made' self; it really condenses it all nicely.
I wrote an article recently about thoughts - What are thoughts? - in which I tried to simplify the truth that is that we are not the thoughts we experience.
Thanks for sharing this great article with us! I'm enjoying your content!
Namaste!
Great, once the awareness of life being dream in its deepest sense takes hold within us everything will gradually morph with and align into that direction. It takes time surely, but at the end everything will be set up.
Truth! Everything will fall into place harmoniously. We are in for the ride - a beautiful ride - and all we can really do is hold on tight and enjoy!
