SpiritualWiki - Vision

Es ist wichtig, für seine Träume ein paar Kämpfe durchzu-
stehen – nicht als Opfer, sondern als Abenteurer.
Paulo Coelho (*1947) brasilianischer esoterischer Erfolgsautor, Handbuch des Kriegers des Lichts, Umschlagtext, Diogenes Verlag, Zürich, 11. Auflage März 2001

Das Auge gibt dir Licht. Wenn deine Augen klar sehen, wirst du dich überall sicher bewegen können. Wenn du nun schlecht siehst, tappst du unsicher herum. Hast du aber Gott aus den Augen verloren, wie schrecklich wird dann deine Finsternis sein!
Matthäus 6, 22-23 (NT)

Lass dir deinen Traum nicht von Traumdieben stehlen

Ich habe einen Freund namens Monty Roberts, dem eine Pferderanch in San Ysidro gehört. Er ließ mich sein Haus benutzen, um Veranstaltungen zur Finanzierung von Programmen für gefährdete Jugendliche abhalten zu können.
Das letzte Mal, als ich dort war, stellte er mich mit den Worten vor:

Der Pferdeflüsterer Monty Roberts

"Ich möchte erzählen, weshalb ich Jack mein Haus benutzen lasse. Es geht alles auf eine Geschichte über einen jungen Mann zurück, den Sohn eines umherwandernden Pferdedresseurs, der von Stall zu Stall zog, von Pferderennbahn zu Pferderennbahn, von Farm zu Farm und von Ranch zu Ranch, um Pferde zu dressieren. So wurde die High-School-Ausbildung des Jungen ständig unterbrochen. In der Oberstufe wurde er gebeten, einen Aufsatz darüber zu schreiben, was er werden und tun wolle, wenn er älter wäre.
Am selben Abend schrieb er einen sieben Seiten langen Aufsatz, die sein Ziel beschrieb, eines Tages eine Ranch zu besitzen. Er schrieb sehr ausführlich über seinen Traum und zeichnete sogar einen Plan ei-
ner zweihundert Morgen großen Pferderanch, der die Standorte der Gebäude, der Ställe und der Rennbahn zeigte."

Dann zeichnete er einen genauen Grundriss für ein vierhundert Quadratmeter großes Haus, das auf der Traumranch
stehen sollte. Er hängte sein Herz an das Projekt, und am nächsten Tag gab er die Arbeit bei seinem Lehrer ab.
Zwei Tage später erhielt er sie zurück. Auf der Vorderseite stand ein großes rotes F mit einer Notiz, die lautete:

"Komm nach der Stunde zu mir."

Der Junge mit dem Traum ging nach der Stunde zu dem Lehrer und fragte ihn:

"Warum habe ich ein F bekommen?"

Der Lehrer sagte:

"Dies ist ein unrealistischer Traum für einen Jungen wie dich. Du hast kein Geld. Du stammst aus einer Wanderar-
beiterfamilie. Du hast keine Rücklagen. Der Besitz und Unterhalt einer Ranch kostet viel Geld. Du musst das Land kaufen. Du musst den anfänglichen Zuchtstamm bezahlen, und später musst du hohe Zuchtgebühren bezahlen.
Es ist unmöglich, dass du das jemals schaffen könntest."

Dann fügte der Lehrer hinzu:

"Wenn du diese Arbeit mit einem realistischeren Ziel neu beschreibst, werde ich die Note noch einmal überdenken."

Der Junge ging nach Hause und dachte lange und angestrengt darüber nach. Er fragte seinen Vater, was er tun solle.
Sein Vater sagte:

"Sieh mal, Sohn, du musst das selbst entscheiden. Ich glaube allerdings, es ist eine sehr wichtige Entscheidung
für dich."

Nachdem er eine Woche lang überlegt hatte, überreichte der Junge dem Lehrer schließlich denselben Aufsatz, ohne
auch nur ein Wort daran geändert zu haben. Er erklärte:

"Sie können das F stehen lassen, und ich kann meinen Traum behalten."

Monty wandte sich dann an die versammelte Gruppe und sagte:

"Ich erzähle euch diese Geschichte, weil ihr in meinem Vierhundertquadratmeterhaus mitten in meiner Zweihundertmorgenranch sitzen. Diesen Aufsatz habe ich immer noch gerahmt über meinem Kamin hängen."

Er fügte hinzu:

"Der beste Teil der Geschichte ist, dass derselbe Lehrer im Sommer vor zwei Jahren dreißig Schulkinder auf meine Ranch brachte, um dort eine Woche lang zu zelten. Beim Abschied sagte mein ehemaliger Lehrer zu mir:

'Schau, Monty, ich sage dir jetzt etwas. Als ich dein Lehrer war, war ich so etwas wie ein Traumdieb. Damals habe
ich vielen Kindern ihren Traum gestohlen. Glücklicherweise hattest du genug Grips, deinen Traum nicht aufzugeben.'"

Erlaube niemandem, deinen Traum stehlen. Folge deinem Herzen, was auch immer geschieht.

Zitate zum Thema Vision

[Edit]

Zitate allgemein

Das Auge ist des Leibes Licht. Wenn nun dein Auge einfältig ist, so ist dein ganzer Leib licht;
so aber dein Auge ein Schalk ist, so ist auch dein Leib finster. Lukas 11, 34 (NT)

Und alsobald fiel es von seinen Augen wie Schuppen, und er ward wieder sehend.
Apostelgeschichte 9, 18 (NT)

Persönliche Bekenntnisse – Hellsichtigkeit

Von meiner Kindheit an erfreute ich mich der Gabe dieser Schau in meiner Seele bis zur gegenwärtigen Stunde, da ich schon mehr als 70 Jahre alt bin. Und meine Seele steigt, wie Gott will, in dieser Schau bis in die Höhe des Firmamentes und die verschiedenen Sphären empor und hält sich bei verschiedenen Völkern auf, obgleich sie in fernen Gegenden und Orten weit von mir entfernt sind.
Und da ich dies auf solche Weise in meiner Seele schaue, erblicke ich auch den Wechsel der Wolken und anderer Geschöpfe. Ich sehe dies aber nicht mit den offenen Augen und höre es nicht mit den äußeren Ohren; auch nehme ich es nicht mit den Gedanken meines Herzens wahr noch durch irgendeine Vermittlung meiner fünf Sinne, vielmehr einzig in meiner Seele, mit offenen Augen, so dass ich niemals die Bewusstlosigkeit einer Ekstase erleide, sondern wachend schaue ich dies bei Tag und Nacht. Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) deutsche Äbtissin des Benediktiner-Ordens, katholische Heilige, Mystikerin, Kirchenlehrerin, Gelehrte, Heilkundige, Komponistin, Schriftstellerin, zitiert in: Dr. theol. phil.

Nach einer Erscheinung und Begegnung mit einem spirituellen Wesen

In den Jahren seit meiner Begegnung mit dem spirituellen Wesen habe ich begonnen, mich am Rand der Kultur, wo meine Arbeit einen Platz gefunden hat, wohl zu fühlen. Ich reise weniger und halte weniger Vorträge, um mehr Zeit mit meinen Lieben zu verbringen, und um mich mit den Quellen des Wissens in der Natur, in der Stille und in innigen Beziehungen zu verbinden. Dr. Charles Eisenstein (*1967) US-amerikanischer Kulturphilosoph, Gelehrter der östlichen spirituellen Traditionen, Penn State University, chinesischer Übersetzer, freier Dozent, Vortragsredner, visionärer Autor, zitiert in: Interview Der Preis oder die innerste Loyalität, präsentiert von NewsLichter, 7.

Die universelle Abschlussprüfung der Menschheit und das Tauziehen zwischen der Utopie oder der Auslöschung

Wir Menschen haben die Mittel und das Fachwissen, um jeden Erdenbewohner zu ernähren und zu kleiden und jedem eine Entwicklungschance zu bieten. Was wir früher nie hätten wissen können, wissen wir nun, dass wir nämlich im Verlauf der jetzigen Phase als Menschheit weltweit die Möglichkeit haben, allen eine erfolg-
versprechende Lebensgrundlage zu schaffen. Ob uns Utopia gelingen oder wir im Chaos versinken werden, wird bis zum letzten Moment ein Entscheidungskampf auf Herz und Nieren sein. [...] Die Menschheit befindet sich in ihrer 'ultimativen Prüfung', deren Ausgang entscheidet, ob sie sich für den Fortbestand im Universum qualifiziert oder nicht. R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) US-amerikanischer Systemtheoretiker, Architekt, Ingenieur, Konstrukteur, Designer, Erfinder, Zukunftsforscher, Philosoph, Autor, Critical Path [Der entscheidende Weg], St. Martin's Press, 1981

Schlussfolgerung

Das wiederkehrende Muster in der Klassik, im Mittelalter, in der Renaissance und in der Neuzeit ist: Zuerst sieht der visionäre Künstler die Welt mit neuen Augen, woraufhin eine [entsprechende] neue paradigmatische Entdeckung eines revolutionären Physikers folgt. […]
Unabhängig von den aktuellen Entdeckungen reflektiert der Wandel in der Wissenschaft die mentale Anordnung der Denk- und Herangehensweisen von Männern und Frauen in der Wissenschaft. Er fördert den Wert des Weiblichen und stellt ihn über den Wert des Männlichen. Dieser Trend wird sich fortsetzen – natürlich ändert sich nichts über Nacht. Wir leben immer noch in einer reichlich patriarchalischen und frauenfeindlichen Welt, die sich dennoch verändert. Die Män-
ner nehmen an der Ökologiebewegung teil und sind heutzutage bessere Ehemänner und Väter als vor hundert Jahren.

Deine Sicht wird klar, wenn du in dein eigenes Herz sehen kannst. Wer nach außen schaut, träumt, wer nach innen schaut, erwacht. Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Schweizer Psychiater, Psychoanalytiker, Gründer einer neuen Denkschule der Tie-
fenpsychologie, Autor, zitiert in: Bubo Quote

Die echte Vision oder Audition ist ein teures persönliches Erlebnis, das nicht ohne weiteres auf den Markt gebracht wird. Sie ist in vielen Fällen einmalig und die Erinnerung daran ist heilig [...]. Sie kommt als Antwort auf einen langwierigen – oder einen ausnahmsweise kurzen, aber persönlich sehr erschütternden – geistigen Kampf. Sie kommt dann als Überraschung, plötzlich und erschütternd [...]. Visionen bekommt man nicht aus Hysterie. Wir trafen nur ge-
sunde Frauen und Männer. Dies ist grundlegend und sollte sich stark ins allgemeine Bewusstsein einprägen [...]. Der Wert einer Vision oder Audition liegt in dem greifbaren Erlebnis einer Kunde, die einen klaren religiösen, bisweilen auch deutlich ethischen Charakter hat [...]. Ohne eine Konstellation des Bewusstseins, welches die Deutung Christus ergibt, kann es kein Christuserlebnis geben. Aber die Psychologen können niemals leugnen, dass der Faktor, der den Verlauf veranlasst, von einer uns unbekannten Natur ist, z.B. wirklich von Christus.

Zitate von David R. Hawkins

⚠ Achtung Siehe Power vs. Truth (engl.) Januar 2013

Hingabe erschließt einem die Vision, die anstelle von Wahrnehmungen tritt. Einzig durch Übergabe, die mit Gotter-
gebenheit einhergeht, erweist sich das beabsichtigte Handeln als spontane Entfaltung der sich entwickelnden Schöpfung an sich. Gottergebenheit ersetzt den hingebungsvollen Einsatz des Egos zum Selbstzweck, und man bezeugt die Auswirkungen beziehungsweise Folgewirkungen im allumfassenden Energiefeld.

the Third Eye

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light.
But it your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness! Matthew 6, 22-23 (NT)

The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light;
but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Luke 11, 34 (NT)

The people living in darkness have seen a great light, and for those living in the land and shadow
of death, a light has risen. Matthew 4, 16 (NT) International Standard Version, 2008

Without a vision, the people perish. Proverbs 29, 18 (OT)

Guided on faith by the "inner voice"

I do not know what you call a vision and what you will call prophetic. When I announced my fast of 21 days in jail, I had not reasoned it. On retiring to bed the previous night, I had no notion that I was going to announce a fast for 21 days.
But in the middle of the night, a voice woke me up and said,
"Go through a fast."
"How many?", I asked.
"21 days", was the answer.

Now let me tell you that my mind was unprepared for it, disinclined for it. But the thing came to me clearly as anything could be. Whatever striking things I have done in life, I have not done prompted by reason but prompted by instinct, I would say God. Take the Dandi Salt March of 1930 (the single most important event that set the Indian freedom move-
ment onwards to victory). I had not the ghost of a suspicion how the breach of the salt law would work itself out. Pandit (who later became the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru) and other friends were fretting and did not know what I would do; and I could tell them nothing, as I myself knew nothing about it. But like a flash it came, and as you know, it was enough to shake the country from one end to the other.
Mohandas Karamchand Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) Indian Hindu sage, spiritual activist leader, humanitarian, lawyer, nonviolent freedom fighter, Prayer, India, 1977, Berkeley Hills Books, reprint edition July 2000

I slept and dreamed that life was happiness.
I awoke and saw that life was service.
I served and I saw that service was happiness.

Upholding ⇔ abandoning ideals

It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart. I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery, and death.

Recommendations

Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke
the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream. Lao Tzu (604-531 BC) Chinese sage, philosopher, founder of Daoism, author of Tao Te Ching [The Book of the Way], cited in: Goodreads Quotable Quote

There is always an enormous temptation in all of life to diddle around making itsy-bitsy friends and meals and journeys for itsy-bitsy years on end. It is so self-conscious, so apparently moral, simply to step aside from the gaps where the creeks and winds pour down, saying, I never merited this grace, quite rightly, and then to sulk along the rest of your days on the edge of rage. I won't have it. The world is wilder than that in all directions, more dangerous and bitter,
more extravagant and bright. We are making hay when we should be making whoopee; we are raising tomatoes
when we should be raising Cain or Lazarus.

Graduating showdown between utopia or oblivion

We have the wherewithal, the know-it-all to feed everybody, clothe everybody, and give every human on Earth a chance. We know now what we could never have known before – that we now have the option for all humanity to make it success-
fully on this planet in this lifetime. Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go relay race right
up to the final moment. [...] Humanity is in 'final exam' as to whether or not it qualifies for continuance in Universe. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) US American engineer, systems theorist, architect, constructor, designer, inventor, futurist, philosopher, author, Critical Path, St Martin's Press, 1981

The final barrier to the vision of God is your God concept. You miss God because you think you know. The highest knowledge of God is to know God as unknowable. All revelations, however divine, are never any more than a finger pointing at the moon. As we say in the East, 'When the sage points to the moon, all the idiot sees is the finger'.

February 1988

The recurring pattern of the classical era, medieval era, Renaissance and modern times is:
First the visionary artist sees the world in a new way followed by a new paradigmal discovery of a revolutionary physicist. […]
The shift in science which has nothing to do with the discoveries that they're making but has to do with the mental configuration of the way men and women have to think about science is promoting and elevating the value of the feminine over the value of the masculine. And this trend will continue. Of course this isn't going to occur over night. We're still living in a world that is fairly patriarchal and misogynist but it's changing. Men are embracing the ecology movement, and men are better husbands and fathers today than they were a hundred years ago.

The power of our vision and expectation flows out from us as a constant prayer. This power is stronger than anyone now knows, and we must master it and begin to use it before it is too late.

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be. Patanjali (150-2nd c. BC) Indian Hindu sage, erudite compiler of the Yoga Sūtras, collection of aphorisms on Yoga practice Mahābhāṣya, 2nd century BC

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart.
Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird sleeps in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs.

Dealing with visions and appearances

If Jesus came to you in a vision and told you what to do, would you do it? Some of you are saying 'yes.' I can tell you from experience the answer is 'no.' Some of you would call a friend, some of you would call a psychiatrist, some of you would wait to be told a second time and a third time and a fourth time, because it doesn't make sense the way we understand the world. Religious people think that they're going to have an experience and then they'll behave as though they had the experience but it's not true. What the goddess says is: "Have the [mystical] experience, wait and see what hap-
pens." Video presentation by Rev. Rosalyn L.

The process that creates an image or an imaginative vision is one thing, and the process that tags it, frames it, and puts it into a context is quite another. We all are mad together in the first and visionary process, and Kekulé can dream of the serpent biting its tail, Poincaré can step onto a tram and have a theorem's solution he has slept on flash into his mind […]. "The lunatic, the lover, and the poet are of imagination all compact," as the good Bard of Avon wrote. They who are truly mad are those who have difficulties in providing the appropriate social and cultural context
for their visions and voices. It was Joan of Arc's good fortune that her voices and visions came at the time of the
Hundred Years' War when they could be put to good use in rallying the French to repel the English invasion. When
the Maid of Orleans' visions were no longer of use to the Church, she was burnt at the stake – as countless heretics
before her had been, or after her, like Giordano Bruno at the time of the birth of modern science in 1600.

Dante and the Divine Comedy, Fresco, 1465
Dome of the church of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, Italy
Domenico di Michelino (1417-1491) Italian painter

Dante was standing near the Ponte Vecchio, a bridge that crosses the Arno River in Florence. It was just before 1300. […] Dante saw Beatrice standing on the bridge. He was a young man, she even younger, and that vision contained the whole of eternity for him.
Dante did not speak to her and saw her very little. And then Beatrice died, carried off by plague. Dante was stricken with the loss of his vision. She was the connection between his soul and Heaven itself, and from it the Divine Comedy was born.
Six hundred fifty years later, during World War II, the Americans were chasing the German army up the Italian peninsula. The Germans were blowing up everything of aid to the progression of the American army, including the bridges across the Arno River. But no one wanted to blow up the Ponte Vecchio, because Bea-
trice had stood on it and Dante had written about her. So the German commandant made radio contact with the Americans and, in plain language, said they would leave the Ponte Vecchio intact if the Americans would promise not to use it. The promise was held. The bridge was not blown up, and not one American soldier or piece of equipment went across it. We're such hard bitten people that we need hard bitten proof of things, and this is the most hard bitten fact I know to present to you. The bridge was spared, in a modern, ruthless war, because Beatrice had stood upon it. Robert A. Johnson (1921-2018) US American Jungian analyst, lecturer, author, Inner Gold. Understanding Psychological Projection, Koa Books, 15. August 2008

The role of drugs in the evolution of human consciousness must be understood in relationship to effects on the serotonergic system and its roles in overall brain functioning. The alterations of consciousness enhance paleomam-
milian brain functions and their coordination and integration with the entire brain. Enhanced serotonergic mechanisms contributed to experiences of altered consciousness in humans, embodied in visionary experiences.

Healing tragedy with the power of imagination

History must be made in the depths of the human soul. The secret hope of this world is the kind of imagination that arises from the underlying spirit of life and the hidden resiliency of the human heart. When all hope is lost and all seems headed for disaster, it is genuine imagination that is missing and needs to be found again. The deepest level of hope is based in creative imagination which tends to appear when people are willing to stay in the tension of opposing issues long enough that a surprising vision dawns and a way forward appears.

Synthesizing overview:

The great synthesizer who alters the outlook of a generation, who suddenly produces a kaleidoscopic change in our vision of the world, is apt to be the most envied, feared, and hated man among his contemporaries. Almost by instinct they feel in him the seed of a new order; they sense, even as they anathematize him, the passing away of the sane, substantial world they have long inhabited. Such a man is a kind of lens or gathering point through which thought gathers, is reorganized, and radiates outward again in new forms.

Movie lines

Andre Gregory: This boredom that we see in the world now may very well be a self-perpetuating, unconscious form
of brainwashing, created by a world totalitarian government based on money, and that all of this is much more dange-
rous than one thinks. And it's not just a question of individual survival, but that somebody who's bored is asleep, and somebody who's asleep will not say no. […]
Findhorn people […] are feeling that there'll be these pockets of light springing up in different parts of the world. And that these will be, in a way, invisible planets on this planet, and that as we, or the world, grow colder we can take in-
visible space journeys to these different planets refuel for what it is we need to do on the planet itself and come back. And it's their feeling that there have to be centers now where people can come and reconstruct a new future for the world. […] [A]ctually these centers are growing up everywhere now […], these things can't be given names, but in a way, these are all attempts at creating a new kind of school or a new kind of monastery.
[There is] the concept of reserves – islands of safety where history can be remembered and the human being can continue to function in order to maintain the species through a dark age. [W]e're talking about an underground which
did exist in a different way during the Dark Ages among the mystical orders of the church. And the purpose of this underground is to find out how to preserve the light, life, a culture how to keep things living.
I keep thinking that what we need is a new language – a language of the heart, a language, as in the Polish forest, where language wasn't needed. Some kind of language between people that is a new kind of poetry. That's the poetry of the dancing bee that tells us where the honey is. And I think that in order to create that language you're going to
have to learn how you can go through a looking glass into another kind of perception where you have that sense of being united to all things and suddenly you understand everything.

Quotes by David R. Hawkins

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

A useful technique to bypass mentalization is that of creative visualization in which the desired goal is envisioned and held in mind periodically. Potentiality tends to manifest when conditions are favorable, and intention (plus karmic propensities) is a contextual influence. In ordinary mentation, logic and sequence are seen as causal and also need-
ful of effort. Envisioning is influential on outcome by entirely different (and easier) mechanisms.
Dr. David Hawkins, Transcending the Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, chapter 13 "Reason", S. 234-235, 2006

Vision is associated with spiritual wisdom, which makes clear that exploitation leads to loss and descent rather than progressive ascendancy. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Transcending Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, Section V Overview, "Transcending the Temptations'' S. 316, 2006

Great reconciliation – Macrovision by Peter Gold

"Having begun my own journey of unfolding into the best version of myself in the company of like-minded people, I conti-
nue to travel and publish extensively on how the wisdom ways of ancient and indigenous cultural traditions are the pivotal models for taking us through the transition into a new beholding self and cosmos: a deep gnosis of universal wholeness and a daily praxis of awakened or spiritual civility.
I have called this fundamental shift into the next macrovision of reality, the Great Reconciliation because it fully builds upon four formative human wisdom visions, which still subtly inform our individual and collective lives through symbols, expressive arts and vestiges of tradition, but to which we are currently collectively oblivious. These range from
➢ the life-affirming world visions of the Stone Ages;
➢ to the gnosis visions of Hermetic Egypt
➢ and the European Renaissance – in parallel with the triumphs of Tantric Buddhism;
➢ to the Indigenous Vision underlying the life and thought of contemporary Native Peoples;
➢ to the Quantum Vision now fueling the recalibration of our deepest thoughts,
as we stand on the brink of this great macroshift into a "Fifth Wisdom Vision of Sacred Wholeness and Awakened Civility."

Don't hand over your dream to the dream stealers

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on
fundraising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he introduced me by saying,

"I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses.
As a result, the boy's high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write
a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track."

A horse at sunset, 10. March 2009

Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. He put a great deal of his heart into the pro-
ject and the next day he handed it in to his teacher.
Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read,

'See me after class.'

The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked,

"Why did I receive an F?"

The teacher said,

'This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a traveling family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.'

Then the teacher added,

'If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsi-
der your grade.'

The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said,

'Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However,
I think it is a very important decision for you.'

Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all, he stated,

"You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream."

Monty then turned to the assembled group and said,

"I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch.
I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace."

He added,

"The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought thirty kids to camp out on my ranch for a week."

When the teacher was leaving, he said,

"Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids' dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours."

The impossible dream

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow

Asymmetrical appearance of the
oscillating variable star Mira, NASA HST image,
Hubble space telescope, 6. August 1997

To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right, without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest,
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm,
when I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this:
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
To reach the unreachable star

If his delusional symptoms continued for more than a few days, the drug dosage would be increased. Eventually the patient's condition would be stabilized, allowing a transfer from the locked ward to a halfway house, thence to a board-and-care home, with biweekly visits to an outpatient clinic. No longer a threat to himself and others, Jesus would begin his career as a permanent client of the US American mental health system.
