Marginalizing States of Awareness
Because modern society uses consensus reality as a baseline for what is real, linear thinking tends to override the dreaming and essence aspects of our awareness.
Through out your life you probably received training in how to be conscious of consensus reality (cultivating awareness of your body, of objects, and memorizing facts about science and numbers). You probably did not get as much training in how to be conscious of dreamland (cultivating awareness of symbolic thinking, communing with nature, being fluid with the roles you embody in relationships). It is likely that you received even less training in how to cultivate an experience of essence (who you are without a body, what lies beyond what your senses can observe, how to hang-out in the Great Mystery).
Marginalizing any one state of reality limits our experience of life.
