"All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream." Is the dream within the dream character capable of recognizing that it is dreaming? I wish I could ask Poe.

Burning down the house! Playing with matches! Another great ripping off of a bandaid.

I wanted to highlight almost every sentence in this one. Especially, though, the phrase about every moment and experience in "real life" being as cosmic and exciting as visionary spiritual experiences. This is true. When what you're teaching is truly believed, life is an amazing spectacle, but ultimately lived with no expectation for it to be exciting whatsoever.

It's when people expect life to be fantastic and exciting at every turn, after learning something like this, that they set themselves up for major disappointment. But knowing all this truth you've shared, while maintaining ZERO expectation and zero 'wait for it' vibes, allows for the beauty and depth of the illusion to fully manifest, more and more over time and yet all at once.

Also, loved the AI Tom Avatar image at the end ✌🏻
