In the grand scheme of creation, what thoughts crossed the mind of our Divine Maker, the One revered by 1000 names? Graham grappled with the notion of assigning a title, unsure whether to refer to this supreme force as Creator or Creators. "The One Known by 1000 names" felt cumbersome, while simply using "It" seemed inadequate, inappropriate. The concept of God holds diverse meanings for different souls. Could he perhaps honor this Loving Creator by dubbing it "Energy," resonating with reverence and admiration? To explore this, Graham decided to experiment with the term, delving into its alignment with his beliefs and emotions, or might he eventually adopt phrases like "The Name" or "HaShem," akin to the traditions of the Jewish faith?
Graham didn’t want his readers to misunderstand him when he referred to God as “Energy.” He wasn’t being disrespectful; he was simply trying to grasp the concept of the matrix of existence. For Graham, God was everything—part of every atom and subatomic particle in the universe. He believed that everything, down to the smallest unit of matter, had to be a part of God somehow. The truth, as he saw it, was that human language could never fully capture the essence of God, the One known by a thousand names. “Energy,” he thought, was an appropriate word, since it exists in all things—even in the atoms of a rock, a chair, or the wing of a mosquito. But where does this Energy come from?
Graham felt that “The Energy” had gifted him a portion of that life force, not only in the makeup of his body but in the activities he pursued throughout the day. He cherished his Energy, especially when he took care of it by eating well, getting enough rest, and maintaining his physical health. But this raised questions for him: Why had The Energy given him this gift? What was he meant to do with it? For the brief time we spend on Earth, our “Spaceship Mother Earth,” everything we need to sustain our bodies is provided. So, what is our purpose? Is it found in the choices we make? In the act of creation itself? We are, after all, made in the image of our Creator, though on a much smaller scale.
Graham would often ask, “What do you want to see happen on Earth?” He believed that young people, were most closely connected to the memory of their purpose, to the reason they came into this world. As adults, we can share our wisdom, knowledge, and experiences with the young to help keep their dreams alive—and in turn, they can help us to keep our own dreams alive. Dreams, like those shared on “DreamStoryLive” and similar platforms, are energized by the people who imagine them.
How do we, as individuals, energize this collective “Dream Story” matrix? What dreams do we hold as families, communities, or nations? The Master Storytellers had freedom of choice, and they chose how to spend their energy and time. Graham’s creation, DreamStoryLive.com, was like a tool—a blank slate, which could be used for either positive or negative outcomes. The power lay in how it was energized. His hope was that people would use this platform to create something good, to tell their unique stories, no matter how simple or grand.
Graham often prayed that people would use their Energy wisely—both for themselves and for the greater good of their families, communities, and the world. Energy is always moving, always available, and, importantly, it is unconditional. While human laws and social norms require some level of conformity, Graham believed there was still room for individuality. Conforming in certain situations allows life to run smoothly, giving us more freedom to express ourselves when the time is right.
He pondered the analogy of life as a kind of fish tank or ocean. Fish, much like humans, have an inkling that something exists beyond their immediate environment, but they don’t fully understand it. Graham wondered, why were fish created to extract oxygen from water? Was this another brilliant experiment? Similarly, what were humans created for?
Though Graham realized he might never have all the answers, he found joy in his creation, DreamStoryLive.com. He didn’t consider it solely his creation; rather, it was a collection of ideas from many sources. When he would sit quietly in his Dream Studio to meditate or write—sometimes in silence, sometimes accompanied by music—he would listen. He knew that the ideas he captured weren’t all his own. Over nearly 100 years of life, he had listened to others' thoughts, emotions, and dreams expressed through art, music, writing, and lectures. He had studied the works of Abraham-Hicks and learned to better understand his own emotions. Through it all, he came to see that Energy wasn’t just in creation but in everything, even fear.
As people climb their own spirals of growth—be it through time, emotions, or creativity—they slowly begin to understand the Energy they possess. Graham believed that it took effort to make dreams come true, and as people age, they can gain more energy to achieve their goals. However, some lose sight of their dreams, spending more time in sleep and neglecting their purpose. Yet Graham believed that each new day was a blank page. He always asked: “How will you use your Energy for this page?”
Energy, after all, is everywhere. Graham wondered about the Energy of different suns and whether it differed from our own. But did that even matter?
In his final reflections, Graham knew he was on a path that could be of use to people all over the world. He didn’t like to call it “his path” or “his creation.” He simply felt he had woven together many ideas, meditating on them in his Dream Studio. There, he would listen deeply and feel connected to something greater. Sometimes, it felt like the story was writing itself.
His prayer was always this: “May you understand your Energy, your emotions, and your dreams. May you use your Energy to serve your highest purpose and the good of others. And may you, always strive to live in the dream emotions. May you understand that you will never get it all done, but you can get a lot done. Create your dreams and then live them out. Feel the excitement as you share your dreams and listen to the the dreams of other.”
Graham gave thanks to The Energy that sustained him, thanking The Energy for helping to color in today’s page, and guiding him to the next blank page.
