28 - The Undoing of Fear
There is a
way of finding certainty right HERE and NOW.
Refuse to be a part
of fearful dreams whatever form they take, for you will lose identity
in them. You find yourself by not accepting them as causing you,
and giving you effects.
You stand apart from
them, but not apart from him who dreams them. Thus you separate
the dreamer from the dream, and join in one, but
let the other go.
The dream is but illusion
in the mind. And with the mind you would unite, but never with the
dream.
It is the dream you
fear, and not the mind. You see them as the same, because you think
that you are but a dream. And what is real and what is but illusion
in yourself you do not know and cannot tell apart.
Like you, your brother thinks
he is a dream. Share not in his illusion of himself, for your identity
depends on his reality.
Think, rather, of him as
a mind in which illusions still persist, but as a mind which brother
is to you.
He is not brother made by
what he dreams, nor is his body, “hero” of the dream,
your brother.
It is his REALITY that is
your brother, as is yours to him. Your mind and his are joined in
brotherhood.
His body and his dreams but
seem to make a little gap, where yours have joined with his.
