If reality is a dream within God's infinite mind, then your true nature is far more expansive and profound than just being a separate individual. Here's how this idea can be understood:
In this perspective, everything that exists—every person, object, and experience—is a manifestation of the infinite consciousness that we might call God, Superconsciousness, or Eternal Life. You, as an individual, are not separate from this consciousness but rather an expression of it. Just as a wave is not separate from the ocean but is the ocean in a specific form, you are not separate from God but are God in a particular, unique manifestation.
In this dream-like reality, you are both the dreamer and the dream itself. Your individual identity—your thoughts, emotions, body, and personality—are part of the dream that is being dreamed by the infinite consciousness. However, the essence of who you are—the awareness that perceives and experiences—is the same awareness that dreams the entire universe into existence. This means that at your core, you are the same infinite consciousness that is dreaming everything, including your individual self.
At the deepest level, beyond the mind, body, and personality, you are pure awareness or consciousness. This awareness is the silent observer of all experiences—the one who sees through your eyes, hears through your ears, and feels through your heart. It is the same awareness that exists in all beings and permeates all of existence. This awareness is eternal, unchanging, and infinite. It is what you truly are, beyond any temporary forms or experiences.
In the dream of life, you are the eternal witness—the consciousness that observes everything without being affected by it. This witness is beyond time, space, and form. It is the same in every being and remains unchanged no matter what happens in the dream. This aspect of you is timeless and infinite, and it is the true "you" that remains even after the dream ends.
While you are ultimately the infinite consciousness itself, you also exist as a unique individual expression within the dream. This individuality allows you to experience life in a particular way, with specific thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Your individuality is like a character in a story, created by the infinite mind to explore and experience the dream in a specific, unique way. However, this individuality is not separate from the whole; it is a specific, beautiful expression of the divine consciousness.
In this view, you are both the one infinite consciousness and the many individual expressions within the dream. You are the unity of all existence, as well as the diversity of forms and experiences. This paradoxical nature means that while you appear to be a separate individual, you are also the entirety of existence itself. The separation is an illusion created by the dream, while the underlying reality is that you are the whole, undivided consciousness.
In the dream of God’s infinite mind, you are not just a separate individual living a finite life. You are a manifestation of the infinite consciousness that dreams the universe into existence. At your core, you are pure awareness, the eternal witness, and the divine essence that underlies all of existence. While you experience life as an individual, your true nature is infinite, timeless, and one with all that is. You are both the dreamer and the dream, the one and the many, the drop and the ocean. In realizing this, you come to know your true self as the infinite consciousness, temporarily experiencing life through the lens of a specific form.
