Visioning and Dreaming the Future
Greetings!
"Courageous dreaming allows you to create
from the source, the quantum soup of the
Universe where everything exists in a latent
or potential state." -- Alberto Villoldo
We are in a time of turning the world right
side up again. We are defining ourselves by
who we will become 10,000 years from now. How
do we step outside of the cultural trance
with courage and grace, without making
ourselves better, or more superior, than
those who lack our courage or wherewithal?
How can we keep dreaming and creating changes
that do not seem "possible"? How can we
personally continue the momentum and hope of
these times?
The more we visualize specific, luminous
changes in world -- like a planet of clean
water flowing everywhere, through all the
arteries, streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans
of the world -- and the more we feed the
parallel dimensions, the more it becomes
possible for our visions to affect the
dimension we inhabit.
Visualizing Holograms of Possible Perfection
Visioning uses imagination, dreaming, and
intent to create a mental picture, or
hologram. Once created, such mental holograms
can be understood to exist in an alternate
(parallel) dimension, where we can feed them,
nurture them, grow them stronger, and
energize them. In this way, our vision begins
to affect this "real" world. We can think of
our visions as an infinity of emergence: like
butterflies leaving their cocoons, we open
our wings in a world that nurtures us and our
children's children.
Alternate dimensions and parallel realities
are not in competition or conflict with where
we are, they just exist along side the one we
notice (or think we live in!) And, as I am
frequently reminded by the spirit world, "do
not question the logic of this, just keep
doing it." This is a calling for our times:
Work in parallel dimensions.
Play and pray in parallel dimensions.
Move between parallel dimensions for earth
healing and humanity healing.
Let your heart open to all the wisdom you
carry in your DNA.
Just do it!
A Fluid Example: Creating a Mental Hologram
of Clean Water
One mental hologram I have been feeding and
playing with is visualizing clear, clean, and
pure water running everywhere on the earth.
You can try this yourself as an experimental
practice.
Visualize the groundwater under your feet
running clear, clean, and pure. See it
filling nearby streams. See the streams
running into rivers, also clear, clean, and
pure. If you notice debris or toxins in the
river, return to your vision of clear, clean,
and pure. Watch the water flow freely. Watch
the clear, clean, and pure water spread to
nearby lakes, bays, and oceans. See these
bodies of water clear, clean, and pure. Keep
going: ocean to ocean, continent to
continent, until you see all the arteries of
the earth's body sparkling clear, clean, and
pure.
In growing and feeding this vision you are
"dreaming" a parallel reality, or dimension,
that exists alongside the one we inhabit. In
this, you are receiving help from our spirit
allies and the cosmic consciousness that
contains us all.
"Dreaming" is a tradition over 30,000 years
old. The central belief of the Australian
Aborigines is that everything in our world
begins in the Dreamtime. Each living thing
begins and is incubated in the Dreamtime.
After it has become fully developed in the
Dreamtime, it then concretizes and becomes a
part of our three dimensional reality.
"When you access any part of the dream, the
great matrix of energy, you can change
reality and alter the entire
dream...
dreaming the world into being through the
very act of witnessing it" says
Villoldo. "Scientists believe that we are
only able to do this in the very small,
subatomic world. Shamans understand that we
also dream the larger world that we
experience with our senses. Like the
Aborigines, they know that all of creation
arises from, and returns to, this dreamtime."
Transmuting Disbelief
In playing with visioning and dreaming, you
may notice your disbelief, your mistrust,
your mind saying "No!" These are impediments
to the resonance and coherence of your
vision. You can transmute, or change the
nature of such impediments with intention.
One method is to feed any beliefs that hold
back your vision into the earth, as a gift:
the earth composts everything! Another method
is to "discreate" the belief: putting it into
a thought balloon, watching it float into the
sky, popping the ballon with a pin when it is
tiny, and doing this over and over until the
thought loses its energy and power. A third
method - analysis - may work, but often gets
us stuck in our mental constructs. Doing
whatever you can to let your mind impediments
go is usually as challenging, or even more
challenging, than finding your vision.
After you have transmuted any thought
impediments that arise, return to your
vision. Keep allowing the energy of beauty
and hope to dominate. Feed the magic of
possibility, guiding it into probability. It
is as if you are a mother, smoothing your own
brow so you can relax into deep trust and
deep vision.
As my friend Leslie Bryan writes, "Every
thought you have takes you closer to your
vision or away from it. Be conscious of your
thoughts and whether you are feeding your
vision or diminishing it."
Know that your vision strengthens with
collective energy and focus. Know also that
many ancient sacred sites anchor such visions
for us. Finally, remember always that there
are many others around the world who share
your vision, and who feed the collective
hologram of beauty, hope, and peace!
May your vision deepen and strengthen each day!
