ALTERNATE REALITIES
Remember those times
When you were reading
A paragraph in a book
And when you finished the paragraph
You couldn’t remember anything
Of what you just read
You realized as you were reading
You were paying more attention
To another story going on in your head
Which of these two activities
Would you call reality?
We have all had the experience
Of driving to a destination
But can’t remember how we got there.
Think of how
What you once believed to be true
Became something completely different.
Which do you believe to be true?
What if Truth is something
That never changes
And everything else we say is true
Is merely a highway
To something beyond
The scenery we are observing
Along the way.
And is the scenery a dream
That we create?
As real as it may seem
Depending on how attached we are
To any particular version
Of the story being played out
Are they not the passing images
Speeding by us
As we look out the window
Of the train of life
Which become a collection
Of blurred memories?
What scenes and stories
Remain not only true for us
But feel like links
In a chain of heart-felt moments
Proclaiming what we would say
Is unchangeable?
When you love
And experience being loved
Do the stories matter?
Dream-reality is altering itself continuously
The incomparable state
Of Heavenly Love
Can only be known and experienced
Outside of the dreams
That make up the infinite number
Of alternate realities we invent.
What to do?
Empower the Observer Self
Capable of witnessing
Without attachment of any kind
And begin writing a story of Love.
