In case you missed it, a television ad now states confidently that life is “24/7.” If Mind is dreaming “The Whole Show,” just the way it’s unfolding, how could it be otherwise? Right now is what Mind is dreaming, and, unlike less reliable venues, Mind is always ‘on,’ 24/7. Mind is what there is to count on. Without Mind, nothing would show up for us to wonder about, like “DNA,” and “The End of The World,” more recently referred to as “Global Warming.”
If Mind authors “The Whole Show,” then it might pay to consider that “Global Warming” is “The End of The World.” Who among us doubted that this drama called “reality” could include parts, like “The Renaissance,” and “The Grand Finale,” when Mind features ‘the end of reality,’ as we know it? Dreams tend to have beginnings and middle parts and “fini,” just like when the movie ends.
If you backtrack through history, what shows up is that we have been given every opportunity to wake up in this dream. Our status as dreamers never changes, so we either look at the mischief we create to drag out the fiction we are ‘real people,’ or we go hyper and never admit we know the whole show is Mind generated, which means we put the imaginary self first, as if doing that will prove someone exists to have one, and in this dream that is our ‘downfall.’ Defending a fiction … the self … as if someone exists to have one, defines what ‘time’ is all about. This is what makes ‘history’ messy.
‘Time’ could be about ‘waking up’ in this dream; letting go of pretending we actually believe something other than Mind exists to ‘go on.’ Awareness is all about surrendering to the fixed fact that we are dreamers in this dream, and we can either use ‘time’ exclusively to drag out the fiction we are ‘the real people’ we imposter, or we could fill time with the joy that goes with being what we are and can only be: dreamers in this Mind Generated dream.
Imagine what your life would be like if you no longer pretended you believe duality exists. In a flash, it would be obvious that, as Mind, everything is the same as everything. Once you admit you know there is no such thing as duality, all drama featuring ‘opposition’ stops dead in its tracks. There never was anyone to be against anyone. In a dream? Are you nuts?
Without our addiction to the fiction duality is real, how can a duality-based drama persist? In the absence of people, what in the world is “marriage counseling” all about? Two dreamers, using ‘duality’ to drag out the fiction ‘opposition’ is proof that “reality” is really real, go to the counselor to circumvent how much they rely on each other to keep ‘reality’ really real, with high marks for playing the part of “enemies.” It takes a load of shenanigans to drag out the fiction ‘reality’ is all about people. Comedy includes the fact there is no one to believe it because there is no one to believe it.
The price dreamers pay for ‘waking up’ in this dream is letting go of the lie anything will work to prove we are ‘the people’ we insist we are. If this is a dream, and the dream is the context for ‘everything,’ then that includes how we use ‘time’ in the dream to drag out the fiction we are ‘real people.’
Mind is authoring this outrageous parody called “life.” It features ‘the dreamers’ relying on a string of lies to drag out the fiction people exist, beginning with the fiction called ‘duality,’ which asserts that Mind is divisible into Mind and Not Mind, as if that’s possible. If Mind is the one of ‘something,’ how can it be divisible? If you doubt this, go Google up “Quantum Entanglement.”
There is no divisibility, except as a Mind generated parody in this dream. Without lie one, or ‘duality,’ no self- respecting dreamer has a chance to hatch the parody of ‘the separate self.’ From the first parody, ‘duality,’ follows ‘the string of lies’ dreamers count on to maintain the fiction people are the doers of events, like creating the intelligence required to justify invading a country, all in the service of defending the hoax someone exists to have a grand, brave, presidential self. This would be pure comedy if it didn’t taper off into ‘tragedy.’
If ‘duality’ is lie one in the dream, then all the rest are lies, too. In a dream, who exists to have a self, and can anything a dreamer ‘invents’ in the dream revoke that fact? Who exists to be the object of your ‘grudge,’ if there is no one to be anything? Who exists to have ‘control,’ if the dream is the context for the slew of parodies it takes to drag out the defense of “The Master Lie,” that ‘this’ is not a dream, and the dreamers are ‘the real people’ they imposter in the dream. In the absence of people, who exists to be a genuine victim? The dream features the sum of the parodies the dreamers require to maintain the grand parody called “personhood.”
We are in luck, however, because only the dream exists to be the context for “The Whole Show,” including ‘the dreamers’ and how they fill time with the fiction they are ‘this’ or ‘that’ kind of a person. Comedy becomes apparent when a dreamer starts to own what it relies on to deliver is own personhood parody in the dream. When the defense of the lie the self is real becomes intense, comedy turns into “tragedy,” and the dream turns into what passes for a genuine nightmare, like dragging out the fiction war is a winnable event in this dream. In the absence of people, this being just a dream, who could possibly win a war?
Mind set it up so our status as dreamers never changes one iota. What changes is our awareness of that fact in this dream. Most of us use ‘time’ exclusively to defend “The Master Lie”; in fact, isn’t that “The Main Event” in this dream. That’s what we do with ‘time.’ The opportunity to ‘wake up’ in this dream is imminent, once it becomes clear only the dream exists as the context for “The Whole Show.” On occasion, this fact comes into focus and a dreamer shouts “Eureka” because it is very clear there is no one to be anything, not even ‘not okay.’
There is nothing wrong about recovering the fact this is a dream; we are ‘the dreamers’ in this dream, and we can enjoy the truth that Mind is dreaming ‘everything,’ like this moment in ‘time’ right now. It’s enough to make a body smile.

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.
