This dream was about way more than going back through my individual life. It was about going back through the life of any individual, every individual human being. It was as though there was a purpose to doing this that would reveal itself, something that could be achieved no other way than through this journey. Curious, I went along on this journey.
I will do my best to convey the essence of this dream through language.
There is a process to human life. It is a process that is not easily distinguished from among all the processes that we have come to know or that are observable in the ordinary ways the human being is studied. This is a process that flows from the beginning of a human life to its end. It is a process of which the understanding has huge implications. Understanding it exerts tremendous influence upon how an individual experiences life, in every sense of the word. Understanding this process introduces possibilities and opportunities that an individual will not likely come to discover any other way.
To explain this process we must begin with two concepts. Default Operating System (DOS) and Default Identity Formation (DIF). It is the first forming the latter and the latter utilizing the former – that comprise the guidance system that drives most individuals through their entire life.
Beyond these is something called Transcendent Operating System (TOS) and Transcendent Identity Formation (TIF). These are options that become available to those who discover their existence and
how to appropriate them. Yet, doing so is neither mandatory nor essential to a pleasant, productive and joyous experience of life. They are however useful to anyone whose default experience is unsatisfactory, unpleasant or painful.
Many who experience suffering, consider ending life (suicide) rather than developing greater inherent potentials for no other reason than they do not know they exist. Those who have considered suicide and refrained are usually found experiencing life through some remodeled version of their default operating system and /or default identity formation – suffering perhaps less, but needlessly just the same.
There are many different ways humans suffer, nearly all will be found having roots in their DOS and DIF. Nearly all means of resolution found in our society are generated by those functioning from their own DOS and DIF. This does not make for solutions that allow an individual to achieve transcendence, rather offering little more than a diminishing or managing of symptoms of suffering.
As I continue to expound upon this dream, you will discover much more about DOS and DIF – how it works favorable and unfavorably in you and how you may resolve the root causes of dissatisfaction in your experience of life. And if you choose, you may develop TOS and TIF that will avail you of an experience of life that is nothing short of miraculous – which is why we call all revealed by this dream “a miracle” – spelled, “Americal” and your experience of its unfolding it is called “objective human development”. Through it you will discover both the miracle that is you and the miracle that is life.
