Courageous Dreaming

Last year I received a very special gift from my great friend AJ: Courageous Dreaming by Alberto Villoldo. I read this book last year during my stay in America and recently I started reading it over again. It amazes me how much can happen in just one year. Not only physically and in real life, but also mentally. 

I must say, this gem does make more sense at this moment in time than it did last year.

I would love to start with these wise words by Alberto Villoldo:
"Courageous dreaming allows you to create from the source, the quantum soup of the universe where everything exists in a latent or potential state. [...] When you dream courageously, the effects aren't always immediately visible in the physical world. The most dramatic changes will occur inside of you, quietly. [...] You draw upon the courage of the soul when you choose to look at things differently and create a different type of life for yourself. When you do that, the circumstances of your immediate environment will begin to transform."

Sigh. Now I understand. Courageous dreaming is more than taking the courage to actually do what you love to do most. It is so much more than the ambition, the energy and the continuous drive by passion to become a better person or being.

The past few years I have been working on my being in this world and the definition of my reality. I have shifted my perception to a higher level of counsciousness and the way I interpret it. It's like I've been creating a different level of awareness - within and around my self. 

I dreamt my world into being by taking the facts and writing a new story with them. I scripted a different experience of my reality. I embraced the anger, fear and pain inside me and stopped blaming others for experiencing these feelings. All is in me. Now I perceive situations without judging good or bad, but accepting that these situations simply are. I also learned to cut the BS so I can nourish my soul. 

By dreaming my world into a new being or courageous dreaming, it's like my passion has grown more and my days have been lived more intense than ever before. It's like I developed a new habit of dreaming courageously by choosing to create a new and better reality. Right now.

As Alberto said: "It takes courage to taste infinity."

Live your dream courageous.

Namasté.
