Vasubandhu (4th to 5th century C.E.) was a Budhist monk.
Vasubandhu's major ideas are:[7]
"Whatever we are aware of, think about, experience, or conceptualize, occurs to us nowhere else than within consciousness."
"External objects do not exist."
As Chögyal Namkhai Norbu puts it: "In a real sense, all the visions that we see in our lifetime are like a big dream . . . ."[2]
...
"If life is a dream, then it must have a purpose...
"Therefore, what is the purpose of life as dream?
"Life is definitely a story full of symbolic events ...character development...
"Therefore, the best bet for me is to behave nicely..."
Author Caroline Myss suggests the real meaning behind 'we create our own reality'.
"It's primary purpose is to make us start focusing on what our lives can be if we live courageously, honestly and full out.
"She encourages us to ask ourselves, 'How am I creating my reality? From what level?'
"Am I using it to access the bigger part of me, or the smaller, fearful part that just wants to be safe?"
...
"According to contemporary teacher Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, all appearances perceived during the whole life of an individual, through all senses, including sounds, smells, tastes and tactile sensations in their totality, are like a big dream.
"It is claimed that, on careful examination, the dream of life and regular nightly dreams are not very different, and that in their essential nature there is no difference between them."

"Carl Jung believed that aside from each of us having our own conscious and subconscious selves, all humans are all somehow connected in one universal and collective unconscious."
Interstellar: Parallel Universes, Dreams, & The Mind .
"This collective unconscious is what gives us similar imagery in our dreams, and even ideas for myths, beliefs and folktales around the world...
"Cultures across the globe have very distinctive 'hero's journey' stories, along with many other archetypal tales and beliefs, that somehow all seem to share similar points in the plot line.

"One of the main ways in which Jung suggested that humans connect to the collective unconscious is through dreams.
This maybe points to the idea that somehow, through dreams, we can reach out to other people who are very far away or even gone from this world, since dreams exist in a place that knows no dimensional bounds...

"One of the main ways in which Jung suggested that humans connect to the collective unconscious is through dreams.
"Love is the only thing that seems to transcend both time and space."

Jesus said: "Because of your faith, it will happen."
The Buddha said, "What you dwell upon you become."
Hindu mysticism says, "Whatever a person's mind dwells on intensely and with firm resolve, that is exactly what he becomes."

ReplyDeleteThank you for your wonderful blog.
All of this kind of assumes Physical Senses and Other People don't exist. Other people may not matter to egotistical spiritual aesthetes and quantum scientists but I rather like other people for the wonderful things they produce for my senses to enjoy. It's humbling and shows I don't need to retreat into an individualist nightmare of spiritual searching. I've always found the quickest way to the real answers in life are through other people not myself, I'm just the conduit for communal creative comingling. Truth seeking is all very well but don't be so open minded your brains fall out.
ReplyDeleteWonderful reply. You have said exactly what i think.
DeleteCarolyn Myss, in one of her books, supposedly "got" through psychic means that 9-11 was done by Moslums "because they hate our freedom." If you don't believe me check this yourself, it is in one of them. I had a few of her books, but threw them all away after I read that. That one comment tells you all you need to know about that woman-faker!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, so many fake mediums out there, because these is the way to cheat people who have more awareness, believe in paranormal etc.
DeleteSo for them/us, they tried to invent false mediums, testimonies, blue beams and this kinda crap. Haha...
But have faith ( and filter things out with intelligence ) :-)
Saludos, hombres.
