The Universe is Mental - Huh?
What the heck???? you might be thinking - Well I know that was what I thought when I first saw that phrase! Which in a way was perfect because it made me curious!
Curiosity is key my friend & to learn adds fuel to life! It is life giving. We are made to constantly learn & evolve. Our bodies are ever changing - But so too does our perspectives on life have capacity to forever grow & change.
In this way; the universe is mental!
Now I am no profesh in this - This is just my take thus far - My hope is that it may twigg some curiosity in you; & in that way - You will then go on your own unique journey of exploration.
What is meant for you - Will find you.
Source-IO-GOD-Consciousness-The ALL
This is a line directly out of the Kybalion - "THE ALL - Is the substantial reality underlying all the outward manifestations & appearances which we know under the terms of the Material Universe; the phenomena of life; Matter; Energy; & in short all that is apparent to our material senses" - Essentially ALL of it!
We of course; know this by different names & relate to it in different ways - But essentially it is all the same thing.
Today we may also know this as the universal consciousness.
At the core of this teaching; is that everything in the universe originates from & exists within a universal consciousness or infinite mind. We are, of course - A part of that.
Perhaps slightly different to your interpretation - But as you may feel - one very similar to what we know as source.
The essence of everything. Everything is essentially one.
In this way - It speaks to the insight that: Your thoughts & consciousness aren't just happening inside a physical universe - rather, the entire universe is more like a grand thought or dream within an infinite, ever unfolding, greater mind - God perhaps?
How do we then work with this insight to help ourselves? To actually connect, embody, empower ourselves & create change........?
Change your thoughts - Change your reality & life!
I can only speak of this - Because I have done it. I guess this is where my passion has come from for sharing this.
I used to think that reality was set. In this way - Well my experience within life was then also set. Very limited, mentally, physically & emotionally. There were an array of ways this impacted & expressed itself in my life & I have to say most of them were not great.
However in time, I woke up to life & began my journey of learning or really, unlearning.
Awakening. Cleaning up & growing up - Part on Ken Wilbers Integral theory on human development - Its super interesting! But anyway back on track lol.....
In this way - I realised that I was the one who had been limiting & blocking myself.
I didn't know it all along, of course until I did - But that is another story lol.
A key part in my learning was that - Well the way I perceived life - Was how I would experience it.
As I was to learn & unlearn - Well I changed the way I perceived my reality & well, my reality then changed.
In this way - Reality is subjective. This means ~ you experience reality depending on what you are looking at, how you look at it & also how you relate to it.
Perhaps you may say "The Universe is Mental" lol Its all in your mind my friend.
Further breakdown: If everything exists within one universal mind (THE ALL) THEN our individual consciousness is like a droplet of the larger ocean of water - it contains the same essential nature as the whole. We're not separate from this universal mind; we're expressions of it - experiencing itself subjectively.
We all know to some degree to another that everything is connected. This; is at the core of it "ALL"
Sit with that; feel into it.
Notice any resistance & take it as a cue for curiosity xx
We are always co-creating our reality
Cool pic huh? I hope you may be able to see what I am trying to explain x
When we then realise that life actually unfolds in a neutral way - & we then place the meaning on it - We then realise that everything is mailable & up to our own interpretation.
We are always co-creating our reality. In this way we then open ourselves up to our innate power, the pure potential & abundance within life.
As we travel this journey - We learn:
Reality is rendered through our consciousness - Just like a dream feels completely real while you're in it, our waking reality is experienced through the lens of mind. The "physical world" is more like a shared dream with consistent rules.
Your beliefs are the framework to how you view & experience life - If the universe is mental - then your deeply held beliefs literally govern how you see & experience life - "The All". Someone who believes the world is hostile will notice threats everywhere; someone who believes in abundance will equally spot opportunities.
Attention is creative participation - We are co-creators of our reality. Where you focus your consciousness within the infinite field of THE ALL, determines what manifests in your experience. It's like tuning into different radio stations - all frequencies exist simultaneously, but you experience the one you're tuned to.
What may you choose? Do you realise you have a choice? Cause I am here to tell you, you do my friend xx
ENERGY FLOWS WHERE ATTENTION GOES - Where & how you place your attention will govern how you experience the unfolding of the moment.
Ok, so what now then?
Well, my hope is that this gives you a sense of possibility & expansion where perhaps there may not have been; perhaps further evolves you knowledge around this or even a slight sense of resonance, may be some clarity. At the very least - curiosity.
Knowledge is power remember. All of life is experiential & well we may as well learn from it.
The more knowledge we gain - the greater we can understand & recognise what is actually unfolding before & within us - In that way then - Well we have a greater sense of governance over how we meet our moments.
Rather than being at the mercy of life - We can move into creating, learning, living & thriving!
-FOR A LITTLE MORE CLARITY-
Your mental state literally shapes your experience of reality. This isn't just positive thinking - it's understanding that:
Your perception creates your version of reality ~ Two people can experience the same event completely differently - In this way - there are multiple truths.(This was a BIG learning for me! Helpful & liberating though)
Your beliefs act as filters, determining what opportunities you notice & choose.
Your inner dialogue becomes your outer experience over time.
Change your mind, change your life isn't just a catchphrase - it's how reality operates
True Story my friend.
I do want you to note up above there where it says state - is also key - Our mental state is governed by how we perceive our reality AND simultaneously this effects the state of our physical body - Nothing is separate. This is why as you make these shifts it is also important to tend to your nervous system at the same time OR of course vice versa.
Everything is connected & in relationship. This is also a Hermetic Principle - But that one is for another day!
Take what resonates & leave the rest!
Much love & may you notice all the potential that surrounds you - Don't see it?
Perhaps change the way you look at it!
