creator dreams

by william blanes


One night the creator dreamt, he had a very vivid dream, and in that dream he saw himself asleep.

He watched himself as he dreamt and saw that in his dream he was envisioning a universe, and that in that universe of his all things were apparently separate and individual, but were actually inter-linked, for he was the builder of all these things.

These were all progressing about in their own evolution of change, in a dance of impermanence, flowing through something that was new to the creator, in the awareness of time and space.

With this apparent separation of elements and moments came the consciousness of borders between things and their own awareness of being. The creator had multiplied himself in the dream. Now he watched this with great interest for the actions and reactions of all things were in the end his, for he was the dreamer.

So he learnt as he first noticed the attendance of darkness, that ever-present shadow.

Darkness was all that he was not, but was within him, and this was hard to comprehend for him. He was puzzled by this fact, until one day he witnessed one piece of him awaken within the dream.

That was when he understood the message of the dream.

Darkness was what gave the choice for light, that which seemingly separated the united. And for him to fully awaken in bliss, all things within him would have to awaken from darkness. So as the observer the creator still waits patiently for that moment.
