I bought a book called lucid living by Timothy Freke, perhaps not so aptly named but enough to spark an interest, its a small book claiming ” a book you can read in an hour that will turn your world inside out” and believe me it does.

He reworks much of what Ousspensky out lines in Gurdjieffs The 4th Way, which I read many years ago and i it first came across the idea that we are asleep in the dream we call life and need to raise our level of awareness so we become aware that we are a consciousness that is both in and paradoxically contains the world and our life.

I am reminded as I write this of Assagioli’s work in Psychosynthesis on Identification and Disidentification and his mantra used also and revised by Piero Ferrucci

“I have a body and I am more than my body
I have a mind and I am more than my thoughts
I have emotions and I am more than my feelings and emotions
I am a place of pure consciousness and awareness”

This is a great affirmation to make of oneself when life becomes overwhelming in any of its forms and we can re-centre ourselves on our awareness and become the experiencer of experiences we truly are when we are fully awake and aware…

what if i was to tell you that life is not as it seems, it is all in fact a kind of dream…oh what the hell get the book, there’s a link to it on the side here or better, that keeps my site going or better still go to http://www.cygnus-books.co.uk and get it there.
