Once “waking up” in the dream includes knowing people have no place in the whole equation, the dreamer has no choice but to let that lie go, often with great reluctance, since the defense of this fiction has had such a long run on Broadway. Dreamers know you by the way you use time to impersonate a person. Perhaps you rely on ‘pomposity’ to play the part of a real, knowledgeable, expert, or ‘super efficiency’ to defend the fiction someone exists in fact to discover “perfection.” Our scam in this dream is always transparent once you know only the dreamers exist, and only in this dream, to deliver this scam. This dream captures the sum of all the ways the dreamers use time, tricks and amnesia to defend “The Master Lie, that ‘right now’ is not content in a dream and that all the dreamers are ‘the real people’ they work so hard to impersonate.
This captures the essence of what most of the dreamers are doing in this dream, and it is this realization that leads to the observation that all dreamers are transparent precisely because the dream is all there is to be ‘on,’ and that includes ‘right now’ as the context in which the dreamers use time to promote the impossible fiction that they are ‘the people’ they work so hard to impersonate.
Truth is always transparent if ‘right now’ is a dream in progress. Once a dreamer accepts that fact, it is free to watch how it uses time, tricks and amnesia in the dream to play the part of a ‘real person,’ delivering the endless re-run that supports the lie the dreamer is the person it insists it is. Even more to the point, the dreamer is free to watch the level of commitment the rest of the gang displays to play the part of ‘real people’ in this dream. Most dreamers’ defense of the lie they are the person they portray in the dream is spectacular. Many dreamers dare you to talk them out of the way they use suffering to defend the lie “a suffering self must be a real self.”
The variations on the fiction a less than okay, or ‘bad,’ self’ will work to prove the dreamer is a person, is viewed directly as totally transparent. This isn’t some kind of a special trick or privilege: This is what the dreamers in this dream do to defend “The Master Lie,” which identifies what we are ‘doing’ in the dream. The truth is there is no one to do anything at all. ‘Talking,’ for example, is a favorite dreamer activity in the dream. Dreamers ‘talk’ incessantly, and if you really listen to the content of the ‘talk,’ what there is to hear, not surprisingly, is ‘self talk,’ or what it takes to float the lie the dreamer has a self, either a ‘good’ one or a ‘flawed’ one.
Time is the context in which we the dreamers reveal the program that runs our commitment to document that people exist, and that is who is doing ‘the talking.’ Most dreamers playing ‘person’ rarely listen to your take on ‘things’ because ‘time’ provides another chance to run the lie the dreamer’s personhood parody is pulling ahead in “The Great Contest,” to see whose rendition of personhood looks like truth is gone, or is on the run..
In the absence of people, there is only one addiction, and that is the dreamer’s commitment to use time, tricks and amnesia in this dream to prove people exist, the dreamer in particular. If this is a dream, you can only have compassion for this addiction because, as powerful and time-consuming as it is, it is indefensible. How could a dreamer in a dream prove it is a person if the dream is the only context there is for anything?
The addiction to the fiction we will prove people are at the center of this drama captures the essence of what this dream is all about. The primary addiction must be obscured by amnesia to dismiss the truth this is how dreamers use ‘time’ in this dream. The defense of the lie dreamers are ‘real people,’ with ‘real selves,’ describes what there is to witness ‘going on’ in space-time, which is just a fancy name for this dream. If there are no people, only dreamers using time to defend the lie people exist, how many “criminals” are there?
No dreamer can play the part of a genuine ‘bad person’ without relying on the invented ‘bad self’ to create ‘bad behavior’ to defend the fiction the dreamer is a real, less than okay person, and residing in prison is used as the ultimate confirmation for this parody. If a dreamer relies on “crime” to do personhood believably in this dream, how eligible is that dreamer for ‘rehabilitation?’ In this dream, defending the lie we are the people we insist we are takes precedence over everything, including “freedom,” having a “good life,” and coming to terms with the truth.
How many dreamers defend the fiction someone exists to have a self and use the invented self to play the part of a ‘real person’ in this dream? There are exceptions to the rule, of course, and when you meet such a dreamer, you will notice they don’t use time fostering the addiction the game is winnable. Because the dream is the context for the game, ‘winning’ isn’t even an option. The dream can’t include people, only dreamers using time, tricks and amnesia to play the game. “Reality” is the arena in the dream in which the game takes place. Everyone, being a dreamer, has a front row seat at the show. The level of amnesia determines the dreamer’s ability to watch the dream objectively, or to view dream content as the raw stuff of life.
Dreamers can transcend their addiction to the fiction the invented self will work to prove the dreamer is ‘the real person’ it uses time to impersonate, but dreamers, on the whole, are very reluctant to part with the lie people exist. In this dream, the defense of the lie people exist, and the invented self will confirm this lie, is legion. In this dream, this is how most dreamers fill time. The drama takes place in the dream, which is what ‘right now’ is, 24/7, day in and day out, no matter how successfully amnesia works to obscure this fact.
Dreamers can recover the truth precisely because no dreamer can ever be anything but a dreamer in this dream, and ‘right now’ can never be anything but more of the same dream. Today we get a thoroughly “botched presidency,” and soon enough all of that will fade into history only to be replaced by the next wave of events in the dream. Your status as a dreamer is fixed, permanent and non-negotiable. The game acquires momentum because it isn’t winnable: no dreamer in a dream can ever be anything but what it already is, but in this dream, ‘the dreamers’ show up to give truth a real run for the money.
Better choose what you do in the dream to play the part of a ‘real person,’ because you either choose that or suffer the consequences that go with pretending you don’t know what the truth is. If truth is what you are and can only be, dismissing that fact may be classic in this dream, but it is always patently absurd, and ‘symptoms’ show up as proof that no lie, regardless of our devotion to it, can alter the fact the dream is the context for the whole show.

About "The Recovery Process"
Welcome to “The Recovery Process.” Over twenty years ago I read the works of Wei wu Wei and, as a practicing Clinical Psychologist, it became obvious that his synthesis of Buddhism outlined a very different approach to Psychotherapy. He wrote eight books, all gems, and I decided to synthesize his works into what I now refer to as “The Recovery Process.”
I work with clients over the phone using this process. For reasons that will become apparent, I no longer call myself a Psychologist. I don’t advertise, rent office space or solicit business. Clients refer clients to me because the process works. It works because it recovers the truth which allows you to identify who you are, who you pretend to be, as well as what “reality” actually is.
This approach is 180 degrees out of phase with our traditional views about reality because truth is 180 degrees out of phase with what we refer to as “reality.” There is the truth and, as a context, it includes the sum of the lies we assemble to create and defend our fictitious view of reality.
The Western view holds that everything is real, including what shows up as “reality,” including the self, people, and all the suffering we endure in a lifetime. The Eastern view, espoused by Wei Wu Wei and many others, holds that none of this is true. In a sense, “The Recovery Process” views The Eastern View as closer to the truth than The Western View, and that The Eastern View is the context for The Western View; namely that The Western View represents the sum of the lies we assemble to defend “The Master Lie,” that everything is real, especially the self and the people who argue for the self, often using the creation of suffering as the vehicle to prolong the fiction the self is real.
“The Recovery Process” identifies what the truth is and proceeds to provide the reminders the client requires to recover the truth of who they are in fact, and to use truth to identify the lies the client depends on to prolong the fiction that everything is real, the self in particular.
