Best use of this moment is to drown in It...HWL Poonja.
The hazy dream has the following constituents:
1. Emotions like fear, anger, depression, paranoia.
2. Images.
3. Words.
The hazy dream tries to take over the NOW using aspect 1.
2 & 3 in themselves just cannot hurt, if you look carefully...
The NOW is a magical, peaceful, comfortable realm. That the hazy dream appears to take over every now and then.
But the NOW is untouchable.
The hazy dream in itself is not evil or anything. It cannot hurt.
The sights and the sounds and the work going on in the NOW is INDEPENDENT of what the hazy dream says about its history.
Perhaps the NOW can be obscured by aspect 1 - but only obscured. Not destroyed.
The Sun cannot be destroyed by the clouds....
Ans: Nothing. Don't fret yourself. Māyāḥ deals with itself on its own.
“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others” - Martha Graham. via Om Chef
A. : There is no need of a way out! Don't you see that a way out is also part of the dream? All you have to do is to see the dream as dream.
Q. : If I start the practice of dismissing everything as a dream, where will it lead me?
A. : Wherever it leads you, it will be a dream. The very idea of going beyond the dream is illusory. Why go anywhere? Just realize that you are dreaming a dream you call the world, and stop looking for ways out. The dream is not your problem. Your problem is that you like one part of the dream and not another. When you have seen the dream as a dream, you have done all that needs be done.
The world is but a show, glittering and empty. It is, and yet is not. It is there as long as I want to see it and take part in it. When I cease caring, it dissolves. It has no cause and serves no purpose. It just happens when we are absent-minded. It appears exactly as it looks, but there is no depth in it, nor meaning. Only the onlooker is real, call him Self or Atma. To the Self the world is but a colourful show, which he enjoys as long as it lasts and forgets when it is over. Whatever happens on the stage makes him shudder in terror or roll with laughter, yet all the time he is aware that it is but a show. Without desire or fear he enjoys it, as it happens.
