I googled the kierkigaard quote and only a couple of sites came up, blogs. So i guess i should respond. I was trying to find out what the quote means, the part about the dreamer, why a dreamer, i didn't get that part, anyways it's nice to know that i'm not the only one who would find some meaning in something we hear now and then, so i guess thanks for the affirmation.

Many people, including me, believe that there is only one reality. We are all dreamers, and when lost in our dream, forget the true nature of what is.

Many philosophers speak of this, using different words. The mystics of all religions talk of this concept. Many books are written to try to get this idea across.

The basic thought is that everything is one. Most of the time, we see ourselves as separate from everything else, losing touch with the truth of our nature. Yet we are all part of the infinite, and it is part of us. We forget this in our lives because we are lost in a dream. This place can be called Hell, Maya or Mitote. There are many names for the state we are in when we lose touch with what is real.

We all have moments of clarity when we are open to the truth. Sometime these moments come as gifts. But, in these moments, we realize that everything is connected. All is part of the One. In this flash of awareness, we are in Heaven, Nirvana, Samadhi, or just plain Awake. But most of the time we are dreaming our dream. And, we are asleep.

I have been told that there is only one Power. That power is God. Eternal, Immortal, and always with us.

One can look at God as a personal or impersonal being. It is just everything that is. One does not even have to call this concept God. You could call it Grass or Chair. One can think of it as Light or Reason. Yet, we and everything else is part of this creation, this essence. All is made of the same stuff, in varying amounts and degrees.

At least that is how I understand it. Does that make sense? Words are inadequate to express this concept, especially for someone like me. Does that help at all?

Thank you for your response to my question. I think it helped. I've read a book called Varieties of Religious Experience by William James so I understood what you mean when you say it's kind of hard to put in words because it's a mystical experience. It's like a conversion. Interesting book, would recommend if you haven't already read it. Again, thanks for making it a little clearer for me.

I just checked out 'Varieties of Religious Experience on Amazon. Looks good! I think my husband might like it too. Thanks for the recomendation.
