When you sleep, your body rests.
But your mind does not cease.
Dreams are proof of this.
There is movement. There is experience. There are lessons. There is processing beyond conscious control.
The eternal part of you is always active.
And when we begin to understand this, something changes.
We stop seeing ourselves as fragile physical beings trying to survive.
We begin to recognize that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience.
That is a very different way of living.
