Your points are very well taken.  |
I don't understand what you're referring to with "if you have observed how the body and the senses manifest in dream formation". If you care to elaborate ...

Specifically, how does communication between dream entities take place?
(In conscious sleep, the whole process of dream formation slows down considerably so that one can observe everything that transpires in the process.) |

I'd suggest that if you want to communicate something, just say it.

Within the last week, I had a very long 3-way discussion on zoom with a meditation buddy and a Buddhist retreat director who has taught conscious sleep practices for over 20 years. This is not a subject that lends itself well to written posts in this thread. |

Okay. I hope it was meaningful to you.

My teachers were really excellent and the Buddhist retreat director who taught conscious sleep stated explicitly that my description of the process went deeper than he had gone.  In any case, he confirmed everything that I knew and reinforcement is always welcome though, with direct experiences under a wise guide, one really doesn't need reinforcement. However, it was very helpful and meaningful to my young meditation buddy and therein was the primary value of the discussion --- he heard essentially the same thing from two different sources as I was quiet during the beginning of the discussion so that he could ask his questions without me interjecting.

Yes I agree Jesus was referring to His Teachings but I believe others Teachings can also be ' The Way '. |

My sense is that the "I AM" is itself the key to understanding "I AM the way, the Truth, and the Light".
Try meditating on "I AM" with no other thoughts.
Both Nisargadatta Maharaj and Ramana Maharshi use that technique, and so do I. It is quite revealing. |

Yes, glad you are aware of this! I AM - the way, the truth and the life.
This realisation is the REALISATION, the ultimate truth, though is primoridal all truths which are nothing but illusion.
I AM is right now, right here, in every moment, in every breath, in every blink of the eye.
If you think you have to do this or that to find I AM, you think, I AM is already found, it is in plain view.
Thinking gives birth to illusion, absence of thinking reveals that which was always here, the absolute truth of who you are and what you are. You are not who you think you are, you are who you are.
I wrote in my messages about all of this, though it took me time to realise what I was given in those messages.
The Secret though it is no secret.
Know the truth ( I AM ) and the truth ( I AM ) shall set you free.
