Short Story: A singer sings out a real message to his audience

Tweet

John Jeremiah Jones, had just woken up from a dream. He realised immediately that this particular dream held great importance for him, and for his life. He decided to try to look deeper inside his dream, so as it might help him to further wake up to himself in his outer life too. Dreams untie one from themself, by undoing the knots that hide us from our self. Our dreams throw these knotted ropes at us, and help us to untie the knots, and to see why we put ourselves in such a bind to begin with. In this dream, John was a guest performer, singing in a large hall, to a group of college students. John sang a very powerful song about life, success, and sadness too, and it touched each, and every person, in that room, with the poignant meaning of what he was singing about. We need to push ourselves past ourselves to find the real self that we can be stretched into being. John cried as he sang, as he had never done this in his own life, and he wanted to give these college graduates the idea that they could indeed do it in their own lives, if they just push themselves past themselves. Only you can live life as you, so live past yourself, and never hide in one of your old past selves. "When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on." so said, Franklin D. Roosevelt, a former United States, President, 1882 to 1945). Here John was telling his audience to more untie that knot to see why it is knotting up our life, but if we cannot untie it right now, what the President said is a good thing to do right now too.
