Scientists have come to the conclusion that there
is no God or supervisor who looks after the
universe or actualizes it. The relationship or
mental activity of all live-in participants of the
universe, high and low, creates or produces the
cosmic totality. This cosmic totality or the
universe is the actual relationship of its
participants.
All participants seemingly live as separate beings
within the oneness of universal consciousness.
Each participant contributes according to its
actions. The creative power of the universe is our
collective consciousness driven by individual
wishes and desires. The many worlds of the
physical universe are but small aspects of the
total reality of the universe.
The total reality of the universe might contain
infinite realities. All that exists however does
exist in mind or consciousness. There neither is
an inner nor an outer, there is only
consciousness. <208>
Since the future is not determined, we are given
the choice to choose it. By choosing it we
determine it. Our mental activity or choice
expressed in physical reality is the world as it
is and as it should be. We live here. We express
ourselves here. To live any other place or to live
in any other manner would make us prisoners of the
universe. <209>
Many people might consider themselves prisoners of
some universal or worldly system. They are only
prisoners of their own mind. Living on earth again
and again will set them free. Life is a process of
evolution. Each man is somewhere within this
process.
When this process has come to the point where an
individual becomes consciously aware of a process
of evolution he can help his process by making it
a conscious evolution. Before this point it was
only an unconscious development. To make this
evolution a conscious evolution is most
commendable. <210>
Matter is slowed down mind. Mind is self-
organizing life energy. Life energy is universal
spirit. A human being is matter, mind and spirit.
The combination of these three determine the state
of your evolvement. If you're mostly matter,
you're a mountain. If you're mostly mind, you're a
genius. If you're mostly spirit, you're a living
idea. Whatever you are this time around the next
time you will be more mind or spirit. Evolution is
consciousness doing its thing. Which is changing
matter into mind into spirit. <211>
Our higher selves or our Christ selves consciously
create images of themselves by thought and hereby
produce new forms of life. These images are you
and I and everybody. We are thought projections of
our God mind. We are children of consciousness.
We, as these children, take on our own reality
and, in our turn and time, we also become creators
of new forms of life. We all are creators. We are
children born out of consciousness with the
likeness and ability of the universal creator. We
all are aspects of consciousness with individual
varieties and diversities. None of us however is
either more or less than any other being. All of
us are the same consciousness. There is but one
consciousness.
Since we live on earth at the present and are
subjected to earth time, it might seem to us that
we are created by beings who are higher than us or
more powerful. This is not so. Our higher selves
or Christ selves are thought projections or
children themselves and are born or cast from the
same consciousness you and I are.
This consciousness is the womb of all creation. It
is the same in ordinary life. A parent is not more
or better than the child. The child is as much an
expression of consciousness as the parent is or
anybody. The child is consciousness in form.
Whether it is young, old, ugly or beautiful, it
makes no difference. These distinctions are but
human preferences. Consciousness has no
preferences. It is always itself! <212>
Some of us think that there was a time that could
be called the beginning of creation. There was no
such time. Yet, consciousness creates and destroys
in cycles. Consciousness does not always express
itself into forms, either physical or otherwise.
Sooner or later there are changes in the mode of
manifestation in which consciousness collects all
its children and hides within itself.
This is the stage of non-being in which there are
no manifestations. Then all diversity and variety
has ceased. Then once again consciousness goes
through a stage in which it dreams and creates
diversity. Different than before but not
necessarily better or worse. It is a cycle of
being and non-being. It's called the breath of
God.
Scientists think of a beginning and call it the
big bang. Before this bang however there was
another and another and so on and so on. In
every cycle consciousness expresses itself
differently. In different galaxies, different planets,
different worlds, different people, different
trees and different flowers in new and different
manifestations.
Creation appears and disappears like clouds, like
leaves on a tree, like you and I. Yet as always,
consciousness is but itself, you and I and the
neighbors. <213>
The universe is the dream of consciousness on
display. In order to appreciate this dream we have
to experience it. That's why we live on earth as
human beings. The dream of consciousness becomes
reality and in order to recognize it for what it
is worth we fall asleep and live the dream. We are
on earth to discover that our dream reality is our
creation. We must awaken from this dream,
sometimes by pain and sorrow and sometimes by
pleasure and joy. But awaken we will. This is what
life is all about. <214>
The persistence of perception makes us believe
that the world we live in is solid and real.
Scientists prove that solidness is an illusion and
realness therefore becomes appearance. When we
look from in here, what we experience out there is
an interaction of energies. This interaction gives
us the impression that there is something out
there.
In actuality, the in here and out there are one
and the same energy fooling itself. This energy is
consciousness or mind. We perceive the world the
way we have been taught to perceive it. Our
conditioning determines what we perceive. The way
we see the world is created by the perceiver. The
world is a mind trick. <215>
The earth is a school with a million grades.
Grades are not necessarily attended in sequential
order. We go through a grade or experience
whenever the circumstances in the world are
suitable to teach us that certain lesson. The most
difficult lesson to learn is that we are the
creator of the lessons as well as of the school.
Every time we leave our body and we feel good
about ourselves we are ready for a more mature
lesson. <216>
The fundamental activity of our matter world is
indeed fundamental or rather an activity founded
on mentality. All events that occur in our space-
time world are the result of mental forces. These
mental forces are the thoughts and ideas that form
or create our matter-space-time world. Whatever we
experience in our material world are the
reflections or results of mind. We, in our matter-
space-time capsule, are tossed around by thoughts.
<217>
To hang on to anything in life slows us down on
the path of enlightenment. Especially hanging on
to ideas. We have come here to appreciate our
creation and the emptier our mind is the better we
are able to appreciate. Appreciation without
personal involvement is enlightenment. <218>
Life is the dance of cosmic energy. It dances and
woos itself continually. The dance and the dancers
are the same. All things in the material reality
are energy force fields disguised as the world of
sticks and stones. We are figments of this energy
and our energy or soul is disguised as a human
inhabitant of earth. Human force fields or souls
interact and dance to the music of life. The
rhythm and harmony makes them grow. The dance of
life is the dance of God disguised as man. <219>
The dance of sub-atomic particles is similar to
the lives of many people. All events seem to
happen by chance and life seems to depends on
luck. This naturally is not so. All events in life
for the ignorant as well as for the wise are
governed by thought. If you cannot think for
yourself you fall prey to the thoughts and desires
of others. Events in all worlds, great and small,
are determined by the actions of consciousness.
Matter does not move by chance. <220>
Modern scientists have proven that the universe is
an unbroken wholeness. There are no parts, there
is no separation. Life on earth contradicts this.
However, the scientists are absolutely right. All
members or aspects of the universe are mutually
dependent and interconnected by a permeating,
universal, living energy that creates and is all
things. We are not just human beings living in
different and separate bodies. We are
interconnected and directly dependent upon this
permeating, universal, living energy. This
permeating energy is undetectable. We are this
living energy, our way! <221>
There are only ideas in the universe. There are no
worlds, there are no planets, there are no
galaxies, there are no realities. There are only
descriptions or ideas about worlds, about planets,
about galaxies and about realities. Man is an idea
himself. To know anything else but ideas or
descriptions is not possible. We, as an idea,
compare ourselves to other ideas and thereby think
we know others or things. We are ideas sensing
others ideas. We live in mind or consciousness
only. The universe and all worlds are mind or
consciousness structures. All forms are posing
mental energy or standing energy waves. <222>
As long as our inner feelings are divided between
love and hate, good and bad, happy and sad, nice
and nasty or pleasure and suffering , our outer
world is created that way. What we feel inside, we
create outside. The God mind or creator under our
command is an automatic manufacturer of the world
as seen from the inside. This is the way the
universe works. <223>
All things are really thoughts and all thoughts
are really things. There is basically no
difference between a thing and a thought except
for the range of vibration of the cosmic energy
they consist of. When we live on earth we are
subjected to our senses which are normally attuned
to the frequency range of matter. When we are out
of the body however we are more attuned to the
frequency range of thoughts. This frequency range
is higher.
Things and thoughts are but a cosmic octave apart
in frequency. When we leave our physical body at
promotion time we drop our lower frequency range
of vibration and we keep humming along recognizing
things in a higher frequency range. Our world then
has become an energy environment. This energy
environment is consciousness or mind expressed as
energy. In this energy environment we continue our
life until we return to earth for our next
physical expression. <224
The universal consciousness or mind is actually a
multi-split parent mind. All personalities, people
and things emerge from this parent mind and live
in a dream state of self reflection that does not
allow them to realize that they actually are the
one parent mind. We are unconscious of our true
identity. We suffer from a separation syndrome
that can only be healed by becoming whole.
This wholeness is what all of us are looking for,
lifetime after lifetime. During these lifetimes we
try to fill our emptiness by engaging ourselves in
all kinds of activities that in the long run do
not really satisfy us. We are hungry for our
greater self, not for activities. As a human
being, we live in some kind of dissociated state
from our greater or higher self.
We are sub-personalities of our parent mind and
only by conscious efforts and radical realization
can we, as individuated or dissociated dreamers,
merge with our universal or parent mind. This
parent mind is the creator of the universe that by
means of its sub personalities creates according
to their individual wishes and desires.
All human wishes and desires however are not too
effective towards inner fulfillment. We are
missing our wholeness of being in the first place.
Our wishing well has an empty source. This
wholeness will be found when we enter the Christ
consciousness or the kingdom of God. This is what
all of us are working on life in and life out.
Great mind in which we live possess our soul.
<225>
Any being, thing or form is nothing in and by
itself. Only by its interactions with others
becomes each identity what it is. The universe
therefore is only of value to itself because of
its expressions. All expressions of the universe
are expressions of universal love. The inter
relationship of all expressions is the love affair
of the universe. Life, all life, is the expression
of love. <226>
In our three dimensional physical reality sub
atomic particles appear and disappear
spontaneously. Human beings do the same thing!
Human appearances seem to last longer because the
human time frame is at synchronism. Sub atomic
particles have the same importance to the universe
as human beings. Both are necessary in order to
establish the other. It's a mutual act of
creation. <227>
Eternity is in the moment for the moment is
eternity. Not a day nor an hour will ever be lost
for the great mind in thought is creation. Mankind
is its memory. <228>
Within the infinity of time and space all things
exist only for an instant. They do not exist
before or after this instant. Since we are living
at the same time as our environment and the things
within it, we recognize that all things are real.
Our life span on earth however is zero compared to
infinity. Within the infinite spectrum of time and
space lifetimes bodies and things are but mind
created dreams or illusions. Within the instant of
our dream, however, our life in the physical is
real and lasting. Human beings are only relatively
real. Like all other things, the only real thing
in the universe is the universal consciousness or
creator. We are this consciousness. We are this
creator. <229>
The light from a prism contains all colors. The
universal energy contains all things. Man, the
creator, is the lens or prism through which all
things are created from universal energy. Man, the
creator, lives all over the universe, in different
forms with different souls. There are no other
creators. <230>
Miracle of miracles, mystery of mysteries, I am
energy, I am man, bending and stretching, carrying
and holding, energy as matter. I see the world,
forms and shapes, animals and flowers, boys and
girls. Alive and aware, each in their own way. All
participating within the one and all, creating the
universe we are being God! <231>
The universe as an unbroken wholeness can never
become aware of itself by itself. In order to
become aware of anything the unbroken wholeness
radiates itself into centers of consciousness or
mind units. These mind units become all forms
necessary in order to create a universe of
infinite variety.
Each mind unit or co-consciousness has the
identity of the unbroken wholeness. Each co-
consciousness or mind unit creates its own role in
the play of creation. All centers of consciousness
relate to all others for all forms, unknown to
themselves are participating aspects of the one
universal mind that loves all aspects as itself.
We are self expressions of love in an infinite and
universal relationship. THE UNIVERSE IS SELF
EXPRESSED LOVE! <232>
