“An Imposed Dream: Re-awakening Your Empathic Self“
With: Theodore Tsaousidis
Our subconscious mind reaches to us through our dreams to help our unconscious become conscious. In this way it tries repeatedly to connect us to our true self. For most, this is in vain for we are living an imposed dream. This imposed dream is a projection from outside ourselves which has been forced, coerced or manipulated, even imprinted on our very being. It can be difficult to differentiate between our true heart and this dream of the status quo. Often, we do not recognize that it is alien. How do we differentiate when to be part of society for most of us, means to conform? As we yield to obvious and subtle forces, our own ability to perceive our intuitive and empathic self becomes weak, falling dormant.
The good news is that perception is more than a mental process. As you learn to perceive with your whole body/mind, you learn to perceive the truth of your own inner authentic nature. When you open to your empathic self, you change — and family and community begin to change with you. Thus, the empathic self – through its living example – invites others to arouse from their own imposed dreams.
Through sharing and practice, this talk will invite us to reawaken to our empathic self.
