THE RULES OF THE GAME

If, as an awakened dreamer in this dream, you happen to be flat with the fact the dream is the context for ‘everything,’ which means nothing is any more real than the flow of events in this incredible, Mind generated dream, than you, as a dreamer in this dream, are comfortable with the truth nothing going on has, had or will ever have anything to do with people.

This is what it means to be "awake" in this dream. It is from this perspective, which has all the earmarks of "the truth," that you can watch the dream ‘going on’ as the dream that it is and can only be, and observe where all ‘the dreamers’ in the dream are with the truth.

This dream features ‘the dreamers, filling time defending the fiction they are the ‘real people’ they insist they are. This is a parody in the dream because only ‘the dreamers’ can be said to exist to perfect this fiction as if what they do will not only work to revoke the truth, but they will, if they try hard enough, pull off the lie they are ‘the real people’ they work so hard to portray.

In this dream, this is "The Main Event." Everywhere you look, what there is to witness are the ploys the dreamers rely on to 1) pretend truth is false, so they can 2) deliver their personhood parody as if the parody is sufficient to prove truth is false. All of this takes place in the dream. ‘The dreamers’ deliver this parody in the dream, and the option to "wake up" is always imminent because our status in the dream is a fixed, unchanging fact.

This dream isn’t about people. By definition, how could it be. This dream features ‘the dreamers’ and what they do in the dream to pretend they "forgot" the truth so they can use time to prolong the fiction they are ‘the real people’ they insist they are. There is no one to be upset about truth at this level, but the dream features how ‘the dreamers’ in the dream come to grips with the fact ‘everything’ takes place as content in the dream, including "waking up," and, more likely, filling time defending the fiction the invented self is real.

Most of ‘the dreamers’ suffer in this dream because they can’t dismiss the truth because truth is what they are. Mind is dreaming "reality" just the way it unfolds, including where all ‘the dreamers’ are with this fact. If Mind is indivisible, how could a dreamer defect from that fact? This describes "The Launch Pad" for the whole drama that captures what ‘the dreamers’ do in the dream to pretend truth is false. Do ‘the dreamers’ hate the truth nothing they do in the dream will work to change the fact the dream is the context for "The Whole Show?" There is no one to be a person, so there is no one to hate the fact there is no one to be a person. In the dream, ‘the dreamers’ view the truth as the springboard to use time, often exclusively, to deliver a convincing personhood parody as if the game is winnable. Since no dreamer can be a person, no matter how much drama it brings to the task, the game isn’t about winning the game; it’s all about whose parody in the dream works best to give truth a hard time. "The dreamers’ compete to see whose parody drags out the fiction -- nothing is content in a dream -- the most convincingly. The range of commitment to the drama is from small time "victims," whose investment in "The Parodies," like duality, grudger, the self, control, works best to dismiss truth, all the way to those dreamers who play the game of TAG (The Anti-truth Game) on a grand scale. Their level of commitment to pretend truth can be revoked is astonishing, since most of us rely on the fiction "opposition" proves people exist to be "enemies," but a few take the game to the extreme and oppose the invented self as inferior, and the whole world as bad.

Extreme positions occur in the dream when a dreamer gets "dangerously" close to the truth there is no one to be anything at all. This is, after all, just a dream. Their drama settles for the lie they are a genuine "nobody," much maligned, scorned, rejected and ridiculed, who justify their grudge to keep other dreamers in place as the source of all their suffering. Blame works wonders to keep dreamers in place as "bad people," and insulates ‘the dreamer’ from the truth there are no people, not even someone to be a "nobody," so they can engage in a heroic drama of retribution in which they will "settle the score" with "the enemy."

Can you imagine how none of this would show up in the dream if all ‘the dreamers’ knew, consciously, that "The Parodies" they rely on to drag out the fiction victims are real people, are false; they are only the ‘excuses’ dreamers rely on to pretend they don’t know this is only a dream and there is no one to be anybody, let alone a real "nobody?" Once a dreamer sets sail to imposter being an ‘inferior being,’ the addiction to this fiction is profound because the suffering it creates realifies ‘the dreamer’ as a real someone with a less than okay self. The lie we are "nobody" keeps us one step away from the fact truth is much funnier because, this being only a dram, there is no one to be a "nobody." ‘The dreamer awakes in the dream when it is flat with the fact there is no one to be anybody, not because this is tragic, but because who in a dream can be a real "anybody?"

None of "The Parodies" has any validity whatsoever: there is no duality, or defection from Mind if Mind is indivisible. There is no one to have a ‘grudge.’ Dreamers rely on ‘grudge’ to play the part of a victim, or a real less than okay somebody. The issue about self is bogus if there is no one to have one. No one in a dream exists to have a self. ‘The dreamers’ fill time with the invented self as the vehicle to play the part of a ‘real person’ in this dream. Only ‘the dreamers’ exist, and only in this dream, to defend the parody ‘the self’’ belongs to a person.

No dreamer in this dream can play the game of TAG successfully without inventing a self to drag out the fiction life is all about ‘suffering people.’ The drama we occupy in the dream depends on the fiction "The Parodies" are real and not ‘the excuses’ dreamers depend on to drag out the fiction they are real, less than okay people. All ‘the dreamers’ know "The Parodies’ won’t work to revoke the truth. We take ‘a vow of silence’ so we can defend "The parodies" as if they are real facts. If there are no people, who exists to be your ‘enemy?’ Can the fiction of ‘the separate self’ survive as real drama after it’s clear duality is a hoax? There never was anyone to ever be separate from anyone, and not even our dependence on this parody can alter that fixed fact.

Waking up in this dream makes it easy to have compassion for all ‘the dreamers’ because we work so hard in this dream to use "The Parodies" to prolong the fiction this is not a dream, and all ‘the dreamers’ are ‘the real people’ they insist they are. Only ‘the dreamer’ exists to make "The Shift" from the fiction called ‘personhood’ in this dream, to the truth that the dream is what right now is, and it features ‘the dreamers’ and where they are with the truth in the dream, from one now to the next. In this dream, we are famous for using time to give truth one hell of a run for the money.

It is the defense of the lie we are ‘real people,‘ in the extreme, that turns a simple dream into a periodic nightmare. Mind gives us every chance to reconnect with who we are and can only be, and a few do, but most dreamers use time exclusively to drag out the lie they are people, often ‘real nobodies,’ no matter what the consequences. If there is no one to be a genuine ‘nobody,’ what are we looking at? Tragedy or comedy? Could they be two sides of a single coin?

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.
