Waking Versus Sleeping
A friend of mine sent this to me this morning, and I just LOVED his take on it!
Hi Fred,
I watched your latest YouTube video, which was a great follow-on to our chat a couple of days ago. I also noticed that the other videos on offer next to yours included one called “Teen Explains What Life is Like in a Coma.” This video has 640, 510 views, which goes to show that for most people being in a coma is far more interesting than being awake. Just thought there might be an idea for a post in this juxtaposition.
Love,
John

An interesting statistic 🙂
I think that during my awakening session I told the story of when I was 7 or 8 years old, the headmaster at the school gave a road safety talk becasue a boy had been involved in a road accident and was in a coma. He explained what a coma was, it was a new concept to most of the kids. I was fascinated, but wondered if, maybe, I could be in a coma myself, and that, perhaps, one day I would wake up.

Darn, I didn’t get a chance to watch the video!

omg! I followed the link yesterday, leaving the Youtube page open, and was able to watch it just now. I wish I had saved it for you Kathleen. One question Fred posed I don’t think I’ve heard before – “What time is it on Mars?”. Of course it’s his delivery that makes it precious. And then posing as the mind he’s trying to trip up, saying “huh” and scratching his head!
Great kid’s story David. My guess about the current zombie fascination is that it reflects humanity’s unconscious awareness that it’s “living” is actually dead. I partake of these shows, so wonder what that reflects about me!
Wishing you all lucid dreaming and peaceful awakening!
PS I had a dream that went lucid. In it, I walked away from the scene that had been occurring, into the football field that turned up next to it. As I walked to the middle, I realized that if I got in the fetal position I knew “Mike” was sleeping in, that would enable me to contact me. As soon as I did, I woke up. And now just a few days ago I had occasion to relay this, and to my surprise it fit the reading material on awakening I was explaining to others. This book had revealed that the practices or processes for awakening are all just an “aligning” with the Truth we already are. So my surprise was that in my dream, I had done that – physically aligning my body with the “real” Mike!

Mike,
Thanks for thinking of me. Fred was gracious enough to send me a link, so I was able to watch it after all.
That’s an interesting dream experience you had. I’ve found that while I rarely have lucid dreams, my dreams (and waking life) are weirder of late. I wonder if that’s a sign I’m more in line with reality. 🙂

Awakeness is like nakedness.
That is to say, IT is always the present state of everyone however the camouflage can be a persistent distraction. Fred-Ness is a Master at pointing out the camouflage.
It`s that simple.
