What is your vision? I listened to a great talk last night by Jean Houston and what I learned is that it is our myth that creates our future. Without a creative vision for how life can be more enjoyable for all then nothing changes or more accurately our past becomes our future because without new material the movie just repeats!
This is the power of the movies, they provide us with a visual of a possible future or past. Of course you know the past is no more permanent than the future, right? Let’s save the time discussion for later. All movies started as a written story first even if it was just the director doing a story board. And of course the written story was only an idea to start with. The process of creation is thoughts, words and action and this is how we get movies and our very lives!
We see movies as fiction and our lives as reality which works for now, but someday this could be a way of creating reality. We have seen this in the Sci-Fi movies like “Total Recall”, “The 6th Day” and “Star Trek”, I just love the holodeck! There is a program online now called SecondLife and basically the user constructs their own version of reality and then lives within this reality chatting with friends all over the world, making things, sharing things, flying, teleporting, and all sorts of awesome and fun things.
Does this reality affect our physical reality? From my experience it most certainly does. I find it amazing how our worlds are interconnected and by using my imagination in SecondLife gives fuel to changes in my “first” life. I hesitate to use the word “real” life here since I am not so sure that one life is any more real than the next.
You may have heard the phrase, a dream within a dream, which is the title for a great Edgar Alan Poe poem, but this does describe life pretty well I think. “The Matrix” movie illustrates this dream within a dream concept nicely too. So how do we create our lives or is the question, “who is driving this bus?” more appropriate? Remember that we each create our lives with thought, words and action, so Yes we are driving our own buses! Another movie that illustrates this nicely is “What Dreams May Come”. Where we get a glimpse of Heaven and what that is all about. What would your Heaven look like? The possibilities are infinite so let go today and dream a little dream within a dream, lol.
