The Passing of the Dream

In this class, we will journey from illusion to truth. Life in this world often feels like a dream—one shaped by fear, separation, and struggle. But God has placed His light within us, and with the Holy Spirit’s help, we can wake up to a higher reality. Through each section, we will learn how to release the false and embrace the real. This is not a call to escape life—but to truly live it, led by divine peace.

1. The Substitute Reality

We will begin by exploring how the ego has built a “substitute reality”—a false version of life filled with guilt, fear, and conflict. The Holy Spirit gently calls us to see that this is not our true home.

📖 Scriptures:

• Romans 12:2 – “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
• John 17:16 – “They are not of the world, just as I am not of it.”
• Colossians 3:2 – “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”

2. The Basis of the Dream

We will learn that fear is the root of the world we see. Guilt and separation fuel the dream of suffering, but we can begin to undo it by remembering who we are in God.

📖 Scriptures:

• 1 John 4:18 – “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear.”
• Romans 8:15 – “The Spirit… brought about your adoption to sonship.”
• Genesis 1:27 – “So God created mankind in His own image…”

3. Light in the Dream

We will discover that even while we seem to be in the dream, God's light shines in us. When we choose love instead of fear, we bring light into every situation.

📖 Scriptures:

• John 1:5 – “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
• Matthew 5:14 – “You are the light of the world.”
• Psalm 119:105 – “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.”

4. The Little Willingness

We will see that we don’t need to be perfect—just willing. A small step toward God opens the door for the Holy Spirit to transform everything.

📖 Scriptures:

• James 4:8 – “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
• Matthew 17:20 – “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed…”
• Isaiah 1:19 – “If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land.”

5. The Happy Dream

We will be introduced to a new way of seeing life—not through fear, but through love. This is the “happy dream,” where forgiveness guides us and peace becomes natural.

📖 Scriptures:

• John 10:10 – “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
• Philippians 4:4 – “Rejoice in the Lord always.”
• Proverbs 17:22 – “A cheerful heart is good medicine.”

6. Beyond the Body

We will learn that we are more than flesh and bones. Our identity is spirit, created in love and untouched by the physical world. This perspective sets us free.

📖 Scriptures:

• 2 Corinthians 5:7 – “We live by faith, not by sight.”
• John 6:63 – “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing.”
• Romans 8:9 – “You are not in the realm of the flesh but in the realm of the Spirit…”

7. I Need Do Nothing

We will explore the powerful idea that we don’t have to earn God’s love. When we rest in Him, He does the healing. Trust replaces striving.

📖 Scriptures:

• Matthew 11:28 – “Come to me, all who are weary… and I will give you rest.”
• Psalm 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God.”
• Ephesians 2:8–9 – “It is by grace you have been saved… not by works.”

8. The Little Garden

We will imagine our hearts as a garden—where God plants peace, joy, and truth. We’ll learn how to protect this sacred space and allow love to bloom.

📖 Scriptures:

• Song of Songs 4:12 – “You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride.”
• John 15:5 – “I am the vine; you are the branches.”
• Isaiah 58:11 – “You will be like a well-watered garden…”

9. The Two Worlds

We will end this class by recognizing the difference between the world of illusion and the Kingdom of God. We can’t live in both—we must choose. And the choice for truth brings lasting peace.

📖 Scriptures:

• Matthew 6:24 – “No one can serve two masters…”
• John 18:36 – “My kingdom is not of this world.”
• Galatians 6:8 – “Whoever sows to please the Spirit… will reap eternal life.”

✨ Final Reflection

This class is about waking up. The dream of fear and separation has fooled us long enough. God’s love is calling us to a new way of seeing—a way rooted in peace, light, and gentle joy. Through the Holy Spirit, we will begin to pass beyond illusions and step into the reality God has prepared for us. The dream ends. Truth begins.
