I know it's a weird thought but allow me to share it with you. What if God is 'sleeping' and Life (the Beginning of the Universe and everything in it) is just His dream?
Maybe the earth's history and that of humans is one section of God's dream. Maybe that's why God can't interfere with the affairs of men (even though many religions say He is All-Powerful and All-Knowing) because it's all a dream!

The end of everything comes when God wakes up. Then what? Oh! To find out Life was only a dream afterall.

P.S: No disrespect to adherents of any faith. This is only an expression of the wild thoughts that whizz around my mind all the time.

Philippians 4:8

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Thank you for quoting that. You might as well quote Buddha or sayings from the Vedas.

One love.

PREVALENT WESTERN EDUCATION SAYS THAT HUMANS ARE BORN IGNORANT, AND KNOWLEEDGE MUST BE FORCED INTO THEM- WHICH MAY BE EXPECTED TO BE A PAINFUL PROCESS.

The SOCRATIC Philosophy Educational Method introduced by SOCRATES, (*Duh!*) seeks to PROVE to people in general, and "ignorant" youths in particular, by a series of appropriate questions, that THEY ALREADY KNEW EVERYTHING, THE WHOLE TIME.

[See: THE EINSTEIN FACTOR, by Win Wenger and Richard Poe.]

Ancient Greek Athenian Society apparently found this idea threatening, and he was charged with "CORRUPTING THE YOUTH," and sentenced to death. He was ordered to go and drink HEMLOCK, a deadly poison, and die- which, surrounded by friends, he did, reporting calmly on what the process of dying this way felt like.

His is one of of the most respected minds in History.

YOUR PROBLEM is that OYINBO EDUCATION has taught you that you are TOO STUPID to have IDEAS, by depriving you of the Knowledge of how to VERIFY your ideas, to see whether they are true or not.

NAGUALISM- the Mystical System of the Native American shapeshifter Seers- is based on three Arts: STALKING, DREAMING, and INTENT.

STALKING is the disciplined conscious control of behavior in order to achieve Spiritual Goals.

DREAMING is the disciplined conscious control of the mind, while the body is asleep.

INTENT is the Spiritual Force that shapes Reality; it is harnessed by the disciplined conscious repetition of mental and bodily actions.

ON THE SPIRITUAL PLANE OF EXISTNCE, THERE IS NO SUCH THNG AS "SLEEP." Sleep is merely the REST-MODE of the BODY. The MIND has NO SUCH MODE.

Mental Interaction with the PHYSICAL BODY is just ONE CHANNEL of Mental Activity. The average person is not aware of any other Channels, because they do not have any use for them in their Conscious Life.

The SPIRITUAL person is one who has EXPANDED their Mental Parameters to include those other Channels.

However, when the Body is asleep, the Mind can relocate Spiritual Energy to open other Channels. Anybody can do this. Everybody does this.

When the average person sleeps, they can only remember those parts of their Dreams that occurred in Spiritual Channels still in use during waking Consciousness.

The Seer learns to access all of their Spiritual Channels, so that they can recall every detail of every Dream they ever had.

EVERYONE ALWAYS DREAMS WHEN THEY SLEEP.

There is NO SUCH THING as "DREAMLESS SLEEP."

There are just Dreams we do not remember.

[See: THE ART OF DREAMING, by Carlos Castaneda.]

Therefore, reconsider your *COGNITION* in the light of the fact that GOD IS NOT A PHYSICAL ENTITY, and therefore does not "SLEEP."

A point would be that the name of God would be Vishnu.

And the Indians worked it out a long time ago.

MCC 1:1-23
Chapter One
1. God, formless, nameless, shapeless, limitless, is a great source of energy.
2. the energy of God is not created and no one can destroy it.
3. It is there when nothing else exists.
4. It occupied no space, for space did not exist.
5. This great ENERGY by the great force in itself disintegrated into space and time and into everything that is in existence, but only one of their kinds. And there existed a space which is unlimited. And an unlimited spectra was formed. And this is called time.
6. And there was light, darkness, water, tepex, an element, an image as of a giant Homo, an image as of a great animal, an image as of a star, an image as of a sphere, an image as of a great tree and many other things, all being single.
7. And everything was one of its kind. And everything had consciousness in itself.
8. And the greatest energy was with the light. And the light diffused into the image of the giant Homo, for it is the greatest consciousness.
9. And the giant Homo with the light in it is God Almighty. And the light which abides in him(it) is great. And God Almighty is filled with organs which are all lights, for the great light in him has disintegrated to form organs in him.
10. And the strongest of the lights in him dwells in his head.
11. And God Almighty began to imagine how everything would go. And the imagination of God was unlimited, for he reasoned and imagined all things at once.
12. And the things which he imagined also are filled with Imaginations. And so continues endless imaginations.
13. And by one fragment of the imagination of God, there exist some beings. And these beings have similarities with God in his light form.
14. Now the names of some of these beings are Knoliud, Miklas, Urim, Chimides, Chaleb, Eartum who is also called Atum, Largas, who is also called Alla, Nymphidis who is also called Yahweh, Wanyioyi,... Abassi, Nzame, Nyame;
15....
16. Now all these beings are the male creatures of God Almighty. And the female creatures of God Almighty are Earthus, Aditi, Osun, Saraswati,...and millions others.
17. And all these beings were of different colours and heights and manner of behaviours, according to how God Almighty has given them to do.
18. And all these beings know and understand all the languages which were also in the thought of God Almighty. And they dwelt in the brain of God Almighty, being the best part of him.
19. And God Almighty thought, saying, it is time for all these beings to be put in the outer universe as flesh. For I have created them only as lights within me. Now let them go and create all the things which they have created when they were in me. And God Almighty took tepex and made images of Homos like himself. And all the masculine lights which were in him did he put in the images of tepex.
20. And all these are called gods. Now the female lights remained in God and explored every part of him. And God said, all the things which has happened without time shall I make to happen also within time and space which I have created.
21. And God said, these beings shall represent me, for I shall soon diffuse into everything and I shall no more be seen in isolation, but only in everything shall I be felt and observed. Now they are light, but they have darkness in them, even as there is darkness in everything.
22. And their darknesses shall be made known when their actions are of less benefit to nature, which is a part of me. And a god shall be an adversary to a planet or to all things if such god has gone out of light.
23. And such god shall become darkness and shall be forgotten until a time of reincarnation. For there shall be ages and periods and era and time.

God's Spirit. Spirits' Brains work everytime so no sleep. He makes dreams specifically to relate to us.

I pondered on this a long time ago and still do.

Life is a dream. One Intriguing and Interesting Dream.

What I can't figure out is if it is Me dreaming or God dreaming.
