The Cave of Plato

Beneath the surface
Of the waters of Creation
Is our home reality

The Allegory of the Cave as written by Plato around the 5th century B.C. tells us that humans are all prisoners and that the tangible world we live in is our cave (matrix). The things which we perceive as real are actually just shadows on a wall. Just as the escaped prisoner ascends into the light of the sun, we amass knowledge and ascend into the light of true reality: where ideas in our minds can help us understand the form of 'The Good'.

Todays education aims more at creating repeaters than people capable of autonomous thinking.
Most of today science pleases itself in its interpretation that material things are pure creations of our mind, caused by the observer. Only "shadows" of reality. Unfortunately modern science sees only the appearance of real things, not their true nature.

We are not quite sure if dreams shape reality, but we know from experience that if you make many dreams some of them will eventually come true

  • as we recognize ourself in everything around us, not ego, but simply our oneness with the universal song..we suddenly love all things and can walk knowing we are surrounded by God herself..our arms embrace everything and everyone, and secondly we learn to accept their embrace as well. At this point in my life its hard to hold this realization while I work and interact on a daily basis, but when I can remember this feeling 24 hours a day, I will be free...everything and yet nothing..just the one.
