The opening thoughts of our most recent Awakening from the Dream show. Originally from a meditation by Almine.
You have slept, and dreamed you are a mere soap bubble
In the ocean of beingness
The rest of you is infinite
Yet imagining it as formless is also an illusion
For in truth neither form nor formlessness exists
How limited our understanding of our being has been
Because we have thought it could be understood
By our play tool called logic, or mind
How limited our understanding of our being has been
It is time to set aside the toys of the dream
Neither formless nor formed are you
It takes trust to dissolve the prison bars of our believes
It takes trust to break our soap bubble
And live from the vastness of our eternal being
When we know this
We are free
And one who lives from such vastness
Can change all life
And set them free
As the illusions fall away
Feel the deap peace… of that which you are
One more comment…
Neils, I appreciate your honest comments on justifying yourself. It is something I do too. I find, however, that I justify myself to me mostly, as an inner chatter that temporarily calms me and armours me against imagined possible attacks by others. And, you are so correct when you say that self-justification is a result of having done something “wrong” or unpopular. So cool. So glad you brought it up. And thanks to Jeannie for her insights! 🙂
“I justify myself to me mostly, as an inner chatter that temporarily calms me and armours me against imagined possible attacks by others.” … that is epic Diane, an spot on for my own situation.
Thank you!

Neils and Rogier gave outstanding insights on this program! It’s amazing. When I listen to Almine, I get so much from her work — yet sometimes (for me) it’s Neils, Rogier, (and David) who bring the teachings to a practical level, who address my angst over letting go, the back-and-forth pull. Rogier, David, and Neils (for me) are so good at articulating the struggle of surrendering, of adapting these new ways to preceiving life/being, of letting go of programs of the world, etc. Sometime your words act as a gentle prying force that pull at the patterns and belief sytems that I feel stuck in my heart area. I suppose we are so emotionally attached to (and wrapped-up in) that which we thought was our survival (our identity), that it hurts when these are seen as imposters. It’s as though I need to grieve the loss, to whimper and cry like a lost puppy. I must admit, sometimes I feel despair as I am in (what I call) this “floating stage.” Do you know what I am saying? Does anyone else experience this? The process of becoming a master isn’t a continual light-weight, ever-joyful-barrel-of-monkeys thing. Neils, you address some of these tough issues: the back and the forth pull. You make this real to me. You and Rogier are a blessing.
Wow Diane! Thank you for your feedback and compliments. It makes doing the radio shows even more fun! And I do recognize what you are saying about the despair and dealing with the hard knocks. Perhaps not always necessary (the long hard way -growth through opposition is now being replaced by growth through support and growth through grace-), but definitely worth it.
Loving this journey we are on, and happy to know you are walking with us.

HI can you tell me more about the Archangel Michael remade -from the radio show -thank you
Unfortunately I cannot. All the information we had, Kelly, was in that audio clip. Main thing I got out of it was that nothing in the cosmos stays the same. Even grand beings -like archangel Michael- can be remade to fit the Unfolding of the Infinite. Lightly holding on to your truths on assumptions about reality seems to be the name of the game.
