Your Structured Identity Cannot Go Into Deep Dreamless Sleep
B Prior's Podcast
Shownotes Transcript
A short excerpt in which B speaks about Deep Dreamless Sleep.
As you go to sleep at night, slowly, slowly, slowly you become naked of using structure. You strip yourself bare of your thoughts and your feelings and you lay down all your structured identity. Because as you are heading towards going to sleep, and that word is only something that the self tells, the self tells you you're going to sleep. The truth is you are not going to sleep, you're going into an unformulated level of your Being that does not move by an identification with any form of structure.
Therefore, your self cannot and does not go with you in deep dreamless sleep. You go towards deep dreamless sleep like a caterpillar would go towards the chrysalis. It has no idea what it is turning into now.
In deep dreamless sleep, or in you heading towards sleep, be clear how you love it. There's more in the Deep that you love then in your structured sense of self. You believe you love it but you don't. You love to hold onto it and identify with it and make believe it’s you but you know it's not. You could in fact and you will at some point give it all up. So you are heading towards sleep, but you are heading towards the Unknown and yet you know you love it.
So you strip yourself naked of all forms and structures of identification and you fall in, because you know on some very real deep level, you cannot enter the Deep as a sense of self identity. But this level is untouched it just waits for you to come back ,move in it and it all sets off, all the wires up, all the patterns wire again and you're back with this belief that you got something to hold together, you got something that needs to be repaid, you got something that needs to be taken away, you got lots of things to do lots of things to let go of and lots of things to continue and it is all a lie. It’s not the Truth. It cannot enter where you go you strip it off, you let go and you fall into the Deep.
The reason why you don't know what you are or where you are in deep dreamless sleep is because you're not using the faculties of the body-mind relationship and the manifest movement of thoughts and feelings, because that realm and deeper realms do not relate to this level whatsoever.
Doesn’t relate to this level whatsoever. Any deeper level of You that you ever enter in deep dreamless sleep or even if awake, if that was possible, none of the deeper levels can relate to your self-identity. None. Not one single one, not at all. In fact any level deeper than this structured level would dissolve a structure of yours.
And that is what you fight against, because you want to keep those structures and you want payment from those structures and you want something back from those structures and you want and you want and you want and you want. That's really how it all is. It is a fear of completely being no- one, no-body and no-thing. But as you strip off off as you head towards sleep, then this realm does not enter where you're going and you love where you have gone to, but not enough to bring it ‘here’. Because it's the end of controlling who you believe who you are and what you believe you need here and what you believe you need from everybody. So you make sure you don't really bring it back ‘here’, because it would take from you all your beliefs and turn YOU into the Deep.
