   Believe it or not, I can't recall any dreams right off the top of my head, as   
   this morning's meditation really kinda displaced everything:   
      
   I was contemplating / revisiting the concept of what it means to "Love thine   
   enemies" (words from Jesus, recorded in Matthew 5:44) and how that works out   
   energy-wise, that is, to love God and all that opposes loving God. To love   
   oneself and all that    
   opposes one's love. When one loves that which "is" oneself, one is then free   
   to love others *without* hypocrisy. In Boolean logic (tinyurl.c   
   m/BooleanMonotheism-Q) 1 AND 1=1 (or true AND true = true) while if one hates   
   oneself and appeases others, the    
   result is 0 AND 1=0, whereas if one hypocritically only loves oneself and   
   hates (or refuses) others, 1 AND 0 = 0 (then there are those who hate   
   everything including themselves, for which 0 AND 0=0.) Another way of   
   applying this same principle ("Love    
   thine enemies") using various other descriptions is to love all that which is   
   and all that which is not, such as self and not self, the individual Spirit   
   and the body, the self and the world. I've often said (in other places   
   online, previously) that "   
   Love thine enemies" is the principle (some might say "magic") that keeps the   
   stars alit in the heavens: When a significantly large enough cloud of   
   hydrogen gas achieves sufficient gravity (as even gas molecules are attracted   
   to each other) the cloud of    
   hydrogen begins to "spin" (typically counter-clockwise, although that's kinda   
   relative) and as the weight of the accumulated gravity begins to crush into a   
   center core of a "perfect" sphere (that point at the very center of a ball)   
   the atoms of hydrogen    
   begin to fuse (atomic fusion) and that expanding energy released from that   
   inner-atomic blast begins to cause fission in the layers outward from the   
   center as well, and that fission also directs energy back into the core, which   
   is constantly emitting the    
   energy from the fusion outward, and thus we get stars (and planets, moons,   
   etc.) Meanwhile, one may as well say that "reality" is the "enemy" of   
   "imagination", even though "reality conforms to thought," though keep in mind,   
   thought conforms to love:    
   one thinks of what one loves, one's thought conforms to love, and one's   
   reality conforms to thought.   
      
   This keeps going and going— it never stops— The core of "life eternal,"   
   or what one may call "endless love." Just for the (written, online) record,   
   "Reality conforms to thought as one's heart conforms thought into reality."
