What is it ?
The further inland I have travelled the more I felt Australia becomes Australia.
There is a quiet long spiritual exhalation as I move away from civilisation.
My father many years ago hired a motorhome and drove around a lot of Australia.
He was telling me about the trip and how it was the best time he has spend on a holiday.
I felt what he was telling me, I asked 'You found your dreamtime ?'
He said 'yes'
The Dreamtime's the place from whence we come and to which we return. Our prophet Yeheshua called it "My Father's house."
Yogis call it the astral plane. Tibetan Buddhists call it the Bardo state. Not only do we go there when we dream, we go there when we die too.
As prophet Yeheshua said in the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, "if you think the Kingdom is in the air, the birds will precede you. If you think it is in the sea, the fish will precede you. The Kingdom is both within and without."
Yeheshua was pointing to an objective world which you enter from "within", or through consciousness. It's not a physical place we can travel to or identify on a map - yet.
Quantum-physicists are starting to explore this area, through worm holes and other theories, but I doubt they'll get there if they don't consider consciousness.
I could be wrong. Science may well discover physical links to the realm of consciousness through matter. If possible, this could actually unite the objective with the subjective world, the phenomena and the noumena. The ideas of Kant would be rescinded. The Cartesian split between mind and body would have to go.
The Dreamtime is "dreamy" because of the frequency of our consciousness. You can train yourself to enter this world without going off into a dream, but you have to be very present and aware.
The "time" element of Dreamtime is interesting in Quantum terms. Time, as per Einstein, could be an important key to this domain, even though we experience time very differently in dreams and higher levels of consciousness. There, time is not sequential or linear. Apparently the same applies to micro matter at the subatomic level. We would experience time differently, as Einstein showed, if we were to travel at the speed of light. We'd go "back" in time.
Light and time are connected, but so is consciousness. We may well discover that everything has some level of awareness or being. We may we discover that our "own" awareness is not indivisible from this greater form of consciousness.
This gets to the heart of the concept of Dreamtime - we aren't actually indivisible from the land, our ancestors, animals and spirits. We're literally a part of this matrix.
That's also what Yeheshua was referring to as well, I think. He's called Yeheshua because that was his name. Yeheshua was a Jew in the mystic tradition, not a Jesus in the Roman pagan tradition.
