Summary

The website advocates for a transformative approach to personal and societal change, emphasizing the importance of inner vision and being over mere having.

Abstract

The text posits that traditional methods of seeking fulfillment through external achievements have failed to address the inherent incompleteness of human beings. It introduces the concept of a "new dreamer" who, through a shift in consciousness and personal integrity, can reshape their destiny and the world around them. The author suggests that true wealth comes from an expanded being, which in turn influences one's possessions and circumstances, rather than the other way around. This philosophy is presented as a means to transcend the ordinary course of events, leading to a more balanced, complete, and fulfilling existence. The text also criticizes the superficiality of societal success, arguing that only a vertical ascent in consciousness can lead to genuine happiness and a meaningful life.

Opinions

  • The author believes that material wealth and external success do not guarantee happiness or alter one's destiny without a corresponding expansion of consciousness.
  • There is a critique of past revolutions and attempts to change human nature, suggesting they have been largely ineffective.
  • The text conveys the idea that a person's level of being acts as a homeostatic mechanism, influencing their material circumstances and resilience to change.
  • A "man of integrity" is described as someone who transcends societal roles and conditioning, maintaining a sense of freedom and authenticity.
  • Self-observation is presented as a key to self-correction and personal growth, leading to a more complete and balanced individual.
  • The author expresses skepticism about the value of conventional achievements and the illusion of success, claiming that most people operate within a limited awareness or "sleep."
  • The "Dreamer's Technology" is introduced as a transformative approach, far surpassing the impact of modern technology, politics, or religion, on individual and societal well-being.
  • The text suggests that only an individual revolution, a "psychological renaissance," can lead to a happier and more intelligent civilization.

The World Does Not Need Help But A New Dreamer

Image from the author

Man crosses oceans, climbs the highest peaks, and risks his life in the most reckless ventures, retreats to temples, ashrams, convents, and mosques, gathers in prayer, or unites in sex. He chooses the path of penitence or that of libertinism, the monk’s cell, or the challenges of business, but always in the same attempt to unite within, in the infinite search for his completeness.

In a world where all revolutions have failed and the many attempts to change the violent and reactive nature of man have proved useless, this new vision presents itself as the only way to transform events and circumstances, to even change the past and future, changing one’s personal history and creating one’s own destiny at will. It is about a new dream and a new world.

Being is the cause of having

This explains why the country's richest in natural resources are often also the poorest and why a man’s enrichment is not a sufficient condition to take him away from his destiny if it does not correspond to an enlargement of his vision.

In fact, it is possible to recognize the existence of a sort of a homeostatic mechanism that ineluctably brings having back to the level of being. An unprepared man, even if temporarily favored by an event or external circumstances, is thrown back into ancient poverty as if having exceeded his level of being.

A man of integrity contains something subversive, something that violates the ordinary course of things, something unexpected, something impossible to grasp. He is free from roles, descriptions, influences, or conditioning, both internally and externally.

He walks among ordinary people, blending in with the crowd, going about his business, completely sealed in his integrity, remaining invisible to those who, not having abandoned their personal history, have not yet felt the need for a commitment to achieve a higher degree of seriousness. He appears and disappears at will, playing any role, acting to perfection the part required by historical events and circumstances.

Self-observation is self-correction.

Men are incomplete beings, and none of them know anything. The experiences, the ideas, the roles of life cannot complete man. Between a king and a vagabond, there is no substantial difference; both are two-dimensional, unbalanced, incomplete beings and therefore doomed to unhappiness and failure.

The greatest career a man can undertake is verticality, standing on the plane of ordinariness. The Dreamer “sees” the small-big men of his time, closed in their bubble of pain, fear, doubt.

In the ordinary vision, some may appear to be successful men and even convince themselves that they are balanced; they write books, produce works of art, run businesses. But everything happens in their sleep. Their lack of inner unity, incompleteness, exposes them to illness and failure, old age, and death.

The Dreamer’s Technology

Sometimes someone invites me to listen to conversations between the excellent minds on the planet. What can I say?

They are characters in search of an author, totally identified and lost in a world of hallucinations, inwardly trapped in an unreal, inescapable system of false beliefs and lies.

Yet, despite this, their short-sightedness and vanity allow you to realize how lucky you are to have escaped such rot and how special you can consider yourself to have come across the Dreamer with his revolutionary Technology of Non-doing.

The Dreamer has brought you the most revolutionary of all existing technologies, a personal and universal technology. The Internet and the most advanced products of modern science are flints and clubs in the hands of cave dwellers compared to it.

No politics, technology, religion, or philosophical system can transform society from the outside. Only an individual revolution, a psychological renaissance, a healing of the Being, man by man, cell by cell, can lead us towards planetary well-being, towards a more intelligent, truer, happier civilization.
