The Stage Of Life (Part 1)

The question, “Is life nothing but a stage on which we imagine to be a certain character?” was always interesting to me. Does life just happen or do beliefs and ideas that we have about ourselves and the world does the way in which we were programmed as children influence our experience?

Do we live a dream? Do some of us dream to be kings and others dream to be beggars and live accordingly?

That would mean that we are all kings, that we all can have anything, we just have to dream the right dream. But maybe we were not taught to be kings so we never were able to imagine being one.

Another good question is what would happen if there were no dream? Let’s assume that we are what we dream to be. What would happen if somebody would step on the stage of life without dreaming to either be a king or a beggar?

What would happen? Would this person not exist or is there something beyond the dream something that is much bigger then being a king or much smaller then being a beggar?

What happens when we just are?
