What makes a thing real or unreal?  You, in your human thinking, have strict rules.  You believe that a thing is only real if you can sense or measure it with your physical senses.  Are your loved ones who have passed “real”?  Of course they are.  For those who have had the experience of their presence, they know this.  For them, they are real.  For others who remain stuck in their human beliefs, this is imaginary.  Experience is paramount for the human, but not necessary.

Are dreams real?  What is a dream?  It is an experience of a story.  What is your life in human form?  It is an experience of a story.  Yet, when some call this earthly experience a dream, you balk.  “How can it be a dream, when it is so real?”  Do you not awaken at times from your dreams and say, “It seemed so real?”  We ask you again, what is “real?”  Real is an experience.

The human experience can be quite limited in comparison with what the soul is capable of knowing.  The soul knows that reality extends far beyond the human experience.  The soul knows that the human experience is temporary and can provide great growth and learning, just as do your dreams.  What is the point of all of this discussion of what is real?  How seriously are you taking this reality?  Please view it as a dream from which you will awaken one day.  Know that it is as real as your dreams at night.  Given this new appreciation for what is real, and if this current story, dream, or real-ity is causing you to suffer, ask yourself why.  Then, dear soul, rise above your human side to awareness of the self as a soul, feel appreciation for the learning experience, and suffer no longer.
