Cosmic Drama

FOREWARD to Cosmic Drama

This book is the culmination of thirty years of insights,
dreams, and research on the nature of consciousness. When
I began, I did not envision the premise of this book, which
states that consciousness is organized by ideals, principles,
and universal rules. That premise evolved over many years,
triggered by a series of revelations that have transformed
my original beliefs and forced me to look beyond accepted
subject experts for validation.

My initial insights began with a weekend retreat focused
on creative dreaming, offered in either Napa or Sonoma
County, California. The teacher, whose name I no longer
remember, had been hired by a private citizen to research
the use of dreams to reveal information. His employer had
fallen asleep while reading the newspaper and in a dream
saw the winner of a horse race. He bet accordingly and won.
Intrigued with his success, he hired the teacher, his friend, to
recreate his success. He ended up instead developing some
revolutionary theories about dreaming and the organization
of consciousness.

It was in the late seventies when I took his class. By then,
this teacher was already experimenting with dreams and
remote viewing, using dreams to determine the contents of a
sealed envelope in another state. Two observations from this
dream workshop contributed to this text. The first was that
consciousness is whole and yet it is compartmentalized into
parts with specific functions. This is common knowledge; it
is the organization of consciousness along functional lines
regarding content that is unique. The second observation
was that dreaming acts to normalize tensions of polarized
content. In other words, dreams tend to create option
“C” from the tension between options “A” and “B”. In this
analogy, option “C” is normalized, In other words, option
“C” represents the synthesis between options “A” and “B”.

The course was part theory and part exercise. The exercise
part was designed to show that any question can be answered
using dreams. The key to discovering the answer was to
clearly articulate the question and ask for an answer.

For this exercise, we were asked to put the written
question under the pillow. I discovered later that this step
is unnecessary, especially if there was some emotional
intensity attached to the question. Once we had chosen a
question, we agreed to remember the dream. Years later, I
would realize the importance of this statement of intent. My
most important dreams seemed at first to be insignificant and
were almost dismissed as such. This phenomenon became
the basis for my second observation on normalization.
Although we were specifically instructed to ask a single
question, I deliberately asked several interrelated ones. The
next morning, after breakfast, we shared our dreams. First,
we stated the question then related our dream or dreams.
The results were astounding. In every instance, the dreams
revealed a wealth of information specific to the question
asked. Of all the answers, mine were the most dramatic. Not
only did the dream-process manage multiple questions, it
also provided a meaningful answer that kept each question
in perspective. I came away from the class with a greater
appreciation of my dreams and personal consciousness.

Now I use dreams as a guide for insights and as a means
of evaluating reference materials. Without the validation
of my dreaming “self,” it is unlikely that I would have used
some of the sources included in this text such as the Seth
books. Seth is an entity that dictated books to Jane Roberts
about the nature of consciousness and creation. Jane acted
as a medium for this entity while in a trance. Notes of the
sessions were taken by her husband, Robert Butts. In short,
this book is based primarily on a series of dreams. These
dreams emphasized to me the simplicity of the whole that
is the focus of intuition. The primary ideal of wholeness
is truth. Truth is also, according to my dreams, the ideal
from which all other ideals emerge. To this end, I have
included references that fit into this simple intuitive model
of Intelligent Context.
