The Dream is always giving you a perfect reflection about where your attention is and has been directed. The Dream never lies.

However, The Dream is always giving you feedback; the kind of feedback that provides you with the opportunity to change your mind.

Ask yourself: “What directs my attention?”

In Becoming, I noted how your beliefs direct your attention… but what keeps your beliefs strong?

The answer is your stories and judgments.

When you’re so utterly seduced by the story you’re telling other people in The Dream, you are also in the process of making your resulting beliefs feel truer. Of course, as you observe your beliefs being played out in The Dream, you can point to the ensuing circumstances and say, “see, of course this is reality. This shit happens all the time.”

The point being that when you feel disempowered by the circumstances playing out in reality, you use your experiences as fodder for proving your beliefs true and ammunition for the story you keep telling yourself and others alike.

When I was writing Noise, the follow up to Becoming, I coined a name for our stories, beliefs and judgments called The Editor. While I’m not presently writing Noise any more, I still use The Editor concept when I work directly with people to help them begin to acknowledge their power in The Dream.

Essentially, The Dream is a mirror that effortlessly reflects the beliefs, judgments and stories circulating in the stew of your internal feelings and sensations. As The Editor’s voice becomes louder in your head, your intuition or Authentic Voice gets drowned out. In other words, the more power you give away to The Dream, the less your unique experience feels full of positive possibilities.

When you give away your power to The Dream, you don’t feel like you have a choice to deliberately create your own experience. Limitation has an amazing power to feel seductive and domineering. For example, when you feel pain in your lower back, it’s easy to allow your attention to feel compelled by it, isn’t it? Equally, when The Dream is reflecting what appears to be limiting and even painful circumstances, it’s easy to continue giving away your power, right?

However, if you embrace the opportunity when you feel an Emotional Charge to pain or limitation and realize that everything you feel first starts inside of your body, The Dream immediately begins to seem less authoritative over you. Nothing happens in The Dream that doesn’t originate inside of your body. You won’t have the eyes to observe something if there isn’t a corresponding feeling inside of your body that writes it into the script of your dream.

As you begin sincerely acknowledging your power in every appearance and circumstance playing out in your dream, your beliefs begin to dissolve. As a result, you’ll notice a much more accelerated resonance between what you feel and what you’re experiencing in The Dream. Why? Well, because the separation between what you feel and what you experience is less acute… The illusion of limitation begins to soften.

This is when things start really getting fun. Remember the pain in your lower back? When you acknowledge you put it there and appreciate the power it takes for you to do that, you can effortlessly shift your attention and create a different experience. Notice I didn’t say better or worse?

Everything in The Dream is an equal creation.

If you find yourself judging an experience, you are simultaneously cryogenically freezing the resulting circumstances into your dream. However, when you deliberately change your mind and attune your attention to a specific feeling inside of your body, you’ll immediately observe the circumstances in your dream change. Some people call attuning your attention upon internal sensation and seeing it materialize the Law of Attraction. It’s not attracting. There’s no Universe separate from you answering your every whim.

There is only an unending field of energy, which you are intricately a part of, playing out everything you feel, believe, judge, and tell stories about.

What’s the difference?

Well, in The Dream, what we call physical is just energetic possibility; a question mark waiting to be answered by your attention. It exists and appears exactly how you can accept or believe. As you change, so to do the physical appearances of reality. It’s the Law of Attention. Your beliefs direct your attention, and your attention creates the appearances in your dream. When you acknowledge your power and dissolve your beliefs, you get to witness longstanding experiences simply disappear from your dream. No story. No reason for them to go away; just gone. In their place is your Natural State of unlimited abundance, well being and bliss.

Your Natural State was always there. It was just obscured by The Editor.

The biggest question about the Becoming process is: Can you let go of who you think you are… or who The Editor insists you are?

When you feel your strongest beliefs challenge, will you let them dissolve, or hang onto them for dear life?

The Dream never lies… but it’s always giving you the opportunity to acknowledge your power.
