2. Truth: Dreams

Imagine that you are asleep on your comfortable bed and dreaming. You are meeting a friend of yours in your dream, talking to him/her. You say things, your friend responds. You see someone else; your friend goes away or interacts with that person.

Would you feel that you were dreaming while you were talking to your friend in this dream? Absolutely no! We do not realize that we are dreaming while we are in a dream. Later when we wake up, we see that what we have felt to have lived was just a dream.

Everything is all right up to this point.

Now, the question comes. How can you know that you are not in a dream right now? Answer is simple: "you just can't know."

Let me tell you why:
  • Just like you can see yourself sleeping and dreaming in your dream, you may well be dreaming a long dream right know: a dream that is decades long in which you encounter thousands of people, see tens of cities and live through millions of events. Just because all of the dreams you had, spanned a very short time compared to a life time, does not mean that all of your dreams will be of that short a time. Remember according to scientists that the dreams you had, last at most for three minutes. Just like you may see a day's events in your dream, which lasts for a minute and feel like you have lived through all of them, then you could well be in a dream right now.
  • And, I could well be an imaginative creation of yours, just like the Earth and the Sun and the whole humanity could be. Is this possible to refute? No. If everything is possible somewhere, then it is in your dream for sure. You can't name a dream right or wrong. It is by nature a creation itself.

You are in a long dream. You are being told by me, an imaginative creation of yours, that you are in a dream. You created internet, computers, milk, chairs, trees, as well as everything that exists around you.

If you accept this point of view, then we would have more questions:

What happens when I wake up, if I ever wake up?

You do wake up some day and get into the ultimate reality or the last dimension. Last dimension is the convergence with the God. What does this mean? In order to understand this, you have to have an understanding of the God and your soul and the existence...

1. Truth: Wonder?

Did you ever wonder why of all millions of species on earth, humans are the only species to control the rest?

As in all Holy scriptures, oral traditions and in even most underdeveloped parts of the world, same myths are told with different characters and place names, but giving the same meaning; doesn't this surprise you?

What was so different about Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, Isaac, Jacob, David or other prophets that they are unique? Why don't you feel the same uniqueness yourself? Are all men created equal? If not, would this still make the God just?

Why aren't we asked to choose a religion from a menu when we grow up, but instead forced to accept the one or none that our parents adopted?

Is the myth of Adam and Eve a reality? If you think that Adam and Eve came to the world few tens of millennia ago, then how can you account for millions of years of fossils and other evidence that support the theory of evolution? Then if Adam and Eve is a lie, how can you believe the rest of scriptures?

BUT, what if I do have an answer for ALL of these questions and more?

I will post the Truth and would like to hear from you...

Before reading the Truth, be advised that due to your cultural and religious codes, you may find the Truth bitter.

Could all of your life be a mere dream? (2. Truth)
