Eudomy: The Land Where Truth Reigns

by

In Eudomy there is no judgment.

I once had a dream where I am transported into the future. I look around and I see a thriving Earth and a world at peace. And I think, elatedly, we did it! We humans did it! We made the transformation into the new consciousness!

As I walk around, I see a woman with the most interesting garb. It has a traditional feel, colorful, and somehow it conveys wholeness and wisdom.

Around her on the ground are seated several children and I realize she is their teacher.

The students are reading passages that they have written and one of them reads something that refers to or implies judgment.

The teacher gently explains to the child that in Eudomy, which is the name of the land where they live, there isn’t any judgment. I understand that she doesn’t mean we don’t do judgment because it’s bad. She means in Eudomy judgment simply doesn’t exist. It has no reality.

As I pondered that dream I was intrigued by the name of this land where peace reigns and the entire Earth is thriving, this land in which we humans have made our evolutionary leap out of the egoic consciousness of separateness and into the consciousness of interdependence and oneness—the consciousness of Love.

Eudomy.

Eu, of course, is a prefix which means good or true. Dom refers to an area of jurisdiction. A kingdom, for instance, is the area in which a king has jurisdiction.

So the dream was telling me that in Eudomy— the “land” where goodness and truth have jurisdiction, the “land” where humans have awakened and the Earth is thriving—judgment doesn’t exist.

Judgment is something we hold very dear in our present ego-based mind-state and world, and when you start to pay attention you will be astonished to discover how much judgment is a staple of how we see things, how we think about things, how we interact. When we live in that domain of judgment we are living in a “land” of falsehood and illusion.

It is said that in the Garden of Eden it was the introduction of the idea of good and evil that first severed humans from their authentic knowing, their authentic, unmediated existence within the Source of Being. When the idea of good and evil arose in the mind—in other words the idea of judgment—suddenly humans’ perception of the world fractured. Consciousness became split off from its moorings in the Knowing of Oneness. Humans became alienated from Earth, each other, the Source of all existence.

It’s been a challenging sojourn through this illusory domain, but we’re beginning to to get it. We’re beginning to recognize that before us is the possibility of a remarkable future if we’re willing to lay down our illusions, beginning with the illusion of judgment that is so essential to maintaining the illusion of separateness.

John Brooks’ Dream Come True: Cracking Open Our Reality

How can we account for Brooks’ dream?

My spouse, Kip, is an avid soccer fan, and for the last several days life in our household has revolved around World Cup soccer games. On Monday night I returned home from a lecture at the library to find Kip elated over the U.S. team’s win over Ghana, the “nemesis” that had eliminated the U.S. from the last two World Cups.

John Brooks, an unexpected substitute who came into the game after one of the lead players for the U.S. left with an injury, scored the winning goal with a perfectly executed header.

For those who pay attention to soccer this was a fairly remarkable moment, because John Brooks had never played in any competitive game for the U.S. national team and he was the first substitute player to score for the U.S. in any World Cup game. But what made his winning goal even more interesting, at least to me, is that it was a dream come true, literally.

A few nights before the match Brooks had a dream in which he won the game for the U.S. with a header, very much like the one he carried out in waking life, in the 88th minute of the game. In waking life his goal occurred in the 86th minute. Close enough.Continue Reading

Dreaming of Earth’s Awakening

by

I recently had a dream whose vivid imagery continues to linger in my mind. In the dream I and a few other people are witnessing an extraordinary phenomenon.

A huge spider web is being lifted up like a cloth by numerous butterflies of many colors and varieties. The web is composed of a multiplicity of hexagons, like a honeycomb, and inside each, made of the same filament as the rest of the web, is the outline of a burning candle. The web is breathtakingly beautiful and all of us know how amazing it is to be present to witness it.

The phenomenon we’re witnessing, I realize, has to do with the evolution of consciousness on the planet, a sign that it has reached a new level, and I find that I am now able to levitate, though I know it has nothing to do with me personally but is part of this cosmic unfolding. Continue Reading

Waking Up to the Waking Dream

by

Have you ever experienced a moment that felt like a waking dream?

A couple of weeks ago I scheduled a blog post — Unplugged — to be published while I was away on retreat. The following week, when I was back, I went on my website and had a little surprise.

My website displays my most recent blog posts on the homepage, along with the image that corresponds to each of them. For the Unplugged post, I used a photo of an electrical cord, unplugged, lying on the red carpet of our living room.

But somehow on the homepage a different photo appeared: a photo of a white feather (also on our red carpet) which I had used in a collage once in which the feather was representing a writing quill.

Now, I’m sure there is some logical explanation of how that happened, some glitch in the software program that accounts for it, but when weird things like that happen I like to pay attention to them, because often they are communicating something at a symbolic level.

Nighttime dreams, of course, weave elaborate and sometimes bizarre symbolic narratives that reveal something about our lives, our souls, our reality that is outside the view of our conscious mind.  When I take the time to listen to my nighttime dreams and work on them, I find they can be tremendously helpful, and in some instances life-changing.

Every now and then, though, my waking life has bizarre moments too that feel like a dream — in fact I call them waking dream moments — and I frequently work on them much the same way I do my nighttime dreams, pondering their symbolism and interpreting what they might be conveying to me at this point in my life.Continue Reading
