When We Are Dreaming With Others

As we live our lives on this grand old planet known to some of us as Mother Earth, we will encounter many obstacles along our way. i.e. we are not here for a free ride we must pay our dues before we can appreciate this wonderful gift called "life"
Our younger days are met with many hazardous maneuvers we must overcome as we live and learn just why we are here as human beings. For those of us whom have found peace in Christ the journey gets much easier to travel.
As we mature in our lives, what was so hard to take on as young adults is much easier with time and experience on our side.
When we let love control our every move i.e. to face our fellow man with love and not contempt then we are masters of our domain. All of our earthly problems could be solved if we allow love to guide us through the hardships we face everyday.
We must not dream alone we must share our dreams with others to let them see the world as we see it.
"When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality." Dom Helder Camara
Reality as we know it is an illusion i.e. nothing is real in our concrete world for what we perceive as being real is merely a product of our imagination.
Idealism vs. realism: those of us whom live with an idealistic concept of the world who strive for a more perfect world to live in as opposed to those whom live with a realistic view of their surroundings, who live for today and could care less about tomorrow.
The future belongs to those who live by making our world a better place to live in. if we only live for ourselves we will find the road can get rocky and rough.
" Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in others, and ourselves is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us."
Marianne Williamson
