The Dreamworld (The Kingdom Of Heaven) IS WITHIN

The Dreamworld (THAT IS: THE SPIRITWORLD; THAT IS: THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN) IS Real.

Gabriel,

I deleted your other two duplicate posts in the other forums. There should not be a need for them and it only confuses the threads.

FYI

Mary,

I would venture a guess that "gabriel" is espousing an idea that your dreams may be a vision into the spirit world.

I sure hope not, I've had some pretty kooky ones! :)

The Church teaches us not to pay attention to our dreams or visions. I, for one, lack the discernment to tell if an apparition appearing to me is from God, or is a demon trying to decieve me. This is why we have icons: in order to have focal points for things unseen, because we can easily be tricked by the imagination. This is why that, when we say the Jesus Prayer, we are not supposed to practice any type of visualizations, like the meditative practices of non-Christian religions. I would suggest that you read Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future by Blessed Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose).
