The Dreams of Our Dreaming

By Allan Sankirtan

The Dreams of Our Dreaming

In the Dreams of our Dreaming,
The blueprint was set,
Of all that we could be,
Though we arent there yet

Inspired by a lifetime of dreams, this book is a compilation of inspirational and personal poetry and essays, written over many years, the stories lovingly arranged to take you through many of the common experiences of life.

Allan says: "I prepared this book simply because the stories are so beautiful and meaningful, that they need to be shared with others. I want the world to know that there is an alternative way of thinking and acting. The messages are relevant to all people, and speak directly to people of all cultures. In many cases they have been rearranged slightly from the original text, so that when you read them, you feel as if you are sitting back, speaking with an old friend you can trust."

This collection of prose, poetry and short stories has been thoroughly enjoyed by people of all ages, from four to one hundred and four. Even people who normally never read poetry have felt moved to read this book.

Feedback received from many readers highlights the effectiveness of the messages contained, as many people have commented that the text seems to speak to them directly, delivering to them a personal message that brings inspiration and courage in times of need.

Join Allan for a special journey through life and dreams with a natural flow that feels guided by spirit.

This work of poetry new age/self help is an amazing and inspiring read from start to finish. The work takes the reader on a special journey through life and dreams with a natural flow that feels guided by spirit. The poems cover a wide range of issues from relationships, soul mates, and nature to the power of choice, time and lessons to name just a few. The poems are deep and meaningful and would appeal to all ages and cultures; which is unique in this genre.

The Dreams of Our Dreaming is a highly accomplished work.

The blurb promised me a special journey through life and dreams with a natural flow that feels guided by spirit. The book delivered on the promise with beautiful poems and a feeling of serenity throughout my reading. The focus is on the concept that we are all one and the same with many writings (poems and essays) weaving together subjects such as relationships, soul mates, nature, the power of choice, time and soul lessons. This book will appeal to those of any culture and age, particularly those contemplating new age concepts and opening to a spiritual awareness.

Especially for My Wife

For my beautiful wife Celeste, who works consciously with me to push back the limits of understanding. I offer this book as a special thank you, for the love, acceptance and encouragement we have shared together on our common journey toward awareness of all that we can be.

Thank you for your patience and perseverance with the inner critic, who always wants to change just one word here and add a comma there. I would especially like to thank you for allowing me to adapt and share some of the verses originally written for you on special occasions.

You have shared many renditions and versions of these sacred verses. Thank you especially for your assistance with the development of several concepts for the cover design. I trust that you will continue to enjoy this beautiful book for many years to come.

A Special Note of Appreciation

I am eternally grateful to the long term commitment of Jane Roberts and Robert F. Butts, who worked for many years to bring the Seth material to millions of readers worldwide.

I would also like to express my gratitude to Seth himself, who introduced me, through his books, to the concept of the multidimensional reality of the soul; the interpretation of dreams; and the concept that our physical body, and our living reality, is created afresh every moment and every day of our existence.

Despite many revelations, I grappled with these concepts for many years. Later, through my interaction with a large number of indigenous Australians, I came to realise the truth of Seth’s concept, that the eternal now is our individual point of power. That our lives are indeed, The Dreams of Our Dreaming; the healing dreams of our soul cast in flesh and blood, projected with love to explore our co-creativity as living gods, with full awareness of our sacred place within the eternal dream, a dream we call, our living now.

Acknowledgements

I would particularly like to acknowledge a number of close friends and associates who have taken the time and effort to read the first draft of this precious book and give me their feedback.

Special thanks to: Phillip Greentree, Andrew and Wendy Brown, Lola, Karen, Linda and David. Even though some of you have never been exposed to these ideas, I am grateful that every single one of you has stated that you enjoyed the work. I am also particularly pleased that you have chosen to share it with some of your family members and friends, young and old.

I would also like to thank Bronwyn Woodbine from Suncoast Printers for her patience and skill in finalising the cover design from the original concept layouts.

I also wish to extend my personal thanks and appreciation to the entire team at Zeus Publications for their friendly assistance in bringing the first edition to press in 2010. Finally, my thanks must go to the staff at Balboa Press, for their patience with me in bringing this, the second edition, alive to share with you all in our day-to-day reality.

Thank you

A Special Message to the Reader

This book of poetry and poetic prose has been partly derived from earlier work compiled in the completed typescript of the book War and Independence (1993), originally written by myself under the pen-name Allan Done. The original poetry has been added to with pieces written in the intervening years, as well as a substantial body of new work written since October 2008.

In preparing the work for republication in 2012, I have taken the liberty to add six extra pieces. The first of these is the poem Breathless, slightly modified from a poem written for my wife on our anniversary; a poem she feels simply has to be shared. The second is a poem called Summer Muse, a celebration of the cycle of possibilities explored mutually in our journeys together. The third is the poem Great Circle Dreaming, a tribute to a great young Australian on her 17th birthday, an inspiration to all those who choose to follow their dreams, no matter what it involves.

The fourth is a piece entitled Proof, a celebration of a lifelong journey shared with my beloved wife. The fifth is a short piece entitled Breathe Deeply, to celebrate
