Inception: It Is Possible In Reality

I am always thrilled to watch a movie with concepts and ideas that mess up my mind, and Inception is such a movie. Much like Matrix and many other movies, it shakes your paradigm about the world a little bit right after watching it, and makes you wonder if whatever potrayed in the movie is in fact... possible. The thing with Inception is that... yes it is.

I will be going into the movie Inception a little bit so please stop reading right now if you do not want to be spoiled about the movie.

Inception talks about 3 very interesting concepts. First, you can control your dream. Second, it is possible to share your dreams. Third, it is possible to be stuck in your dream. Now let us explore these 3 concepts and how they are possible...

You can control your dream

The fact that you can control your dream, is possibly not new to many. You may have heard of the term lucid dreaming, which basically deals with controlling how your dreams turn out to be. Very much like in Inception really, where the characters are free to twist things around to their likings and just do whatever they want like they are the God literally.

In fact, the ability to control your own dreams are so natural to some people that they thought everyone else could do it. I surely can't. There are many guides are there that I can follow and train up the ability I suppose. Fascinating thing to be able to do anything in your dreams, just have not quite find the urge to pick up the skill yet.

Still I wonder how does it feel like to be fully in control of your dream. To be a superhero, to be everything you want to be, would you want to wake up?

In Inception, Robert lived in his dream with his wife for decades, to the point that when they come back from the dream world, the reality seems like the dream world instead. What would you do if you get to live in a world without a worry for hunger, for money, for anything that you don't want to be, and just lay back and have fun? Would you ever think of leaving? I might not.

You can share your dreams

Well this may seem a little far fetched but there are people out there who have claimed that they have done that. If you consider it from a purely physical perspective, it would be hard to understand. Not so if you switch your perspective around and look it through a spiritual point of view.

You see, sleeping is not just about shutting down your mind, and resting both your mind and your body. Spiritually, it goes beyond that. It is said that, when you are asleep, your soul goes back to where it comes from to recharge. You may call where it comes from the Heaven, God, the Source, or simply, the Well-being, and it would all be referring to the same thing. Your soul goes back into the spiritual world to stock up on its wellbeing (or energy), so that it would come back feeling all refreshed and ready to take on the world again the next morning!

In fact this is possibly why sleeping is a very good cure to minor depression, where one would wake up feeling more hopeful again despite doing absolutely nothing through their dreams. And that's why humans cannot survive through a prolonged period of sleep deprivation, whereas we could survive for weeks without food.

Imagine, when you are asleep, your soul is somewhere else recharging. For most people, there will be an exclusive express lane between our bodies and our spiritual "power socket". Sometimes, one may decide to take a detour and it would turn into Astral Projection, where it is possible to meet other souls, the ones that belong to other human beings, or the ones that don't. It is my understanding that it is possible to meet up and share your dreams that way, because in Astral Plane, whatever you think of, manifest right away, much like in our dream land.

Theoretically, it should be possible to create some sort of boundaries, which includes not one (yourself), but two or more people, and all of you can co-create in the astral plane. If you think of your spiritual express lane to recharge your wellbeing as some sort of boundary created naturally by ourselves, it should be possible to consciously mend this boundary to allow the others to come in. Some like to disarm the boundary altogether and just tour around the astral world freely meeting other kind souls or some very nasty ones. The boundary is really like a natural protection mechanism to stop us from meeting really really evil things out there.

It is possible to be stuck in your dream

It is said that in truth, there is no hell. There is only heaven, the place where we came from, where we will go back upon death. Just like darkness is not the opposite of light, but merely the lack of light, hell is not the opposite of heaven, just the lack of heaven. Our mind is stuffed with all kind of weird ideas about hell, like how it's always burning, how people are tortured so badly that it would have been better for them to just die spiritually, if that's even possible.

The thing is, hell is not all that at all. Hell is a self-created problem during people's death, that based on all the events that have happened in their life, they assumed that they will be judged and damned by God, undeserving of unconditional love. So then they become too afraid to cross over, and stuck living with their guilts and fears, as well as all the mistakes that they have made in their life. I guess you can foresee that, for a soul to be living in their guilts and dears indefinitely, it wouldn't turn out too well. With such low vibration, they would be creating and attracting all sort of wrong things to themselves. Possibly the reason why you hardly meet a very happy spirit that refuse to cross over.

And if you ever end up like this, it would not be too different from being stuck in your dream. There is just no way out until you realize that everything is self-created. If you have ever try counseling a very depressed person, you will know that it's the last thing that they want to know... That everything that they are going through is self-inflicted.

It is only very recently, that I realize the connection between "there is no hell", to what that is said in the bible. The bible would tell you that, if you do not believe in God, you are doomed to hell. In a way that is true because if you do not believe in God or heaven (that it is a place supposedly full of love, happiness, and wellbeing), you may be too afraid to make that leap of faith to cross over from this physical world into the "other side" fearing that you may not be good enough for the "other side", resulting you being stuck in your own hell, and infinite loop of all your guilts and fears.

Anyway...

I am not really sure if anybody understands anything written in this article because they could be so weird... Feel free to do a Google search on things and find out more. :) I may have gotten something wrong here but the gist is there.
