Quantum physicists and all the great masters of meditation have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is one Awareness constantly actualizing (creating) the universe that is being observed, meaning that the aware observer and what is being observed are actually opposite (reciprocal) sides of the same coin! According the book The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe by Lynne McTaggart actual scientific experiments have proven that the mind can to a certain extent influence matter at its quantum level. Mind (which descends from consciousness) according to whatever belief system it has adopted, is constantly evolving and manifesting specific events (creations) from an infinite field of all possibilities (a fifth dimension).

Consciousness (pure being or the great “I Am that I Am”) may seem to be but is not limited to the brain and physical senses alone. The origin of mind and consciousness may seem for all practical purposes to come from the brain (as it is taught by conventional physiologists), but its ultimate origin seems to be in the realm of quantum physics’ “zero point energy field.” How do I know this? Because too many events of a paranormal nature such as out-of-body experiences (where the viewer observes actual events miles away) constantly go on that cannot be explained by the “brain only” theory of consciousness. Old ideas of consciousness need to give way to new ones. It may be that the actual roots of one’s soul is found in the higher (5th, 6th and 7th) dimensions beyond all time and space and is an essential and deeply embedded foundation of universal existence. Consciousness is so fundamental to existence, that without it, there can be no existence!

Only the physical life is dependent on the physical brain, the physical eyes and other physical senses, however the spiritual or universal observer (one’s real self or soul) is perceiving through a universal multidimensional matrix (hologram) of the mind itself and whatever thoughts and feelings influence that universal mind is most definitely going to effect the way the universe around it is being observed (created) or experienced. Mind creates what is observed, while Awareness (God) is what creates the mind. An experience of cosmic consciousness happens when the limited ego, desires, mind, breath and senses shut down causing one’s individual soul to merge into its greater Self, true nature or reality of existence. Such an experience is that of great wisdom, wholeness or overwhelming love, spirituality, peace and fulfillment. By continuously releasing (renouncing) each and every emotion, desire, and/or tendency, one gradually becomes freer and freer to live in and enjoy such profound states of wholeness or happiness, profound knowledge, and well-being as cosmic consciousness.

It is a lie that one must look outside one’s self to satisfy desires. The joy that most people search for externally is right where one is. Too many of us are like empty shells trying to decorate, color and patch the “outside” selves while completely ignoring the vital truths and reality of the inner soul or spirit. Materialism is the lifestyle based on the lie that one must find happiness outside one’s self through physical achievements, making money, social status, in this or that person, etc. The ever-growing complexity, pressures and speed of society has contributed to so much stress. Having too many choices, too much stimulation and information overload can also drive one crazy. One can actually only concentrate on one thing at a time, but the high pace of modern day living often demands multitasking while causing an overflow of unfulfilled frustrations.

For every desire one tries to fulfill, many more come up, and it is all too easy to feel there is so much lacking in this world and not enough good things to go around. No wonder there is so much frustration and anger! It is a major and common misconception that everyone is here to find happiness through the fulfillment of desires of which endless searching, and endless suffering can be the only actual result. It is impossible to find permanent satisfaction in this highly inefficient way as long as desires and fears are there to keep one in an unpleasant state of being. The main purpose of desire (not intention) especially sexual desire is to keep the individual separate from God so that the “centrifugal” process of evolution of the species can continue resulting in endless rebirths, suffering and constant restlessness.

However, internally remove (renounce or transmute) all desires (including sensual), fears and attachments, only ever-increasing levels of peace, happiness, spirituality, and fulfillment can remain. One’s sense of frustration and separation from God (pure Being) is replaced by a beautiful, glowing ecstasy, and a sense of unconditional love and calmness. I know this fact for sure, because I am experiencing it! Unlimited happiness with no sorrow is our very basic nature, the real natural state of wisdom before being encumbered by the desires and fears of the senses and ego (illusion of separation from God).

Desires (attachments), lusts, and fears (aversions) not only frustrate or block vital spiritual energy, they also have a powerful unbalancing effect on the mind, making it nearly impossible to feel whole as long as they exist. To free one’s self completely from all desires, lusts, and fears and then to become fully balanced and centered in wholeness is the key. Desires (fears) work through the mind to create barriers and limitations of all sorts. The individual already has unlimited power and spirituality, but that power is usually being wasted away (diluted) in all sorts of conflicting thoughts, worries, fears, attachments, addictions and sexual desires.

“As a man thinketh in his heart so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7)

Depending on the individual concerned, what one eats can also be a huge factor in this equation, because the quality of one’s diet can affect one’s emotions tremendously. There are certain vital nutrients one needs to enjoy the deepest possible states of wellness and profound inner peace which in turn can be used to manifest a much more fulfilling life. I mean the healthiest diet imaginable with all the adaptogenic herbs, minerals, trace elements, vitamins, and antioxidants that could possibly be of benefit. I leave nothing out, no stone is left unturned.

Are you already forming your life according to your overall state of mind? Because the individual is the observer, being the reciprocal of what is observed, the individual is creating all the time whether he or she knows it or not everything one observes (experiences). The individual is often creating (demonstrating) both desirable and undesirable effects exactly according to one’s state of mind and level of wisdom. Hence, it is vital to train one’s mind to drop all its desires and fears (which create separation, limitation and attract negative experiences) so that one can live in harmonic oneness and experience ever deeper and deeper states of inner peace, spirituality and wisdom while attracting into one’s life only those things that are beautiful and positive.

“According to your faith be it unto you.” (St. Matthew 9:29)

On a certain website, one can actually listen to a very long recording of St. Matthew speaking through the direct voice medium Leslie Flint about this very subject, as well as how difficult it is to describe the after death state, and how the human spirit in today’s world is bogged down by materialism and dogmatic beliefs. St. Matthew says, “Man is no more than what he thinks.” and, “You will loose self and then find your true Self.” and, “The world is an illusion that man has created.” Whether you believe it’s actually St. Matthew or not, is irrelevant right now: regardless of who’s saying it, it all completely and absolutely illustrates the kind of free-thinking, knowledge and spiritual wisdom of wholeness! St. Matthew knows “The Secret” and so will you.

The universe is so perfect that if one sees any imperfection in it, it must mean that one’s way of seeing (observing) it is also imperfect. “…with what measure ye mete, It shall be measured unto you again.” (St. Matthew 7:2) Perfect your mind, and you will perfect your life!

Another great soul who manifested through the ectoplasm of Leslie Flint was Rabindranath Tagore, the famous Indian poet and philosopher written about by Paramhansa Yogananda in Autobiography of a Yogi. Knowing fully well that all people everywhere are the product of their own thinking, he mentions we all have the ability to change our physical circumstances with the help of thought. He said: “We are the product of all our creative thought no more and no less… All depends on the individual thought process… Think only pure thoughts and your whole life will be transformed.” He also tries to give an amazing description of the high plane of existence he lives on. Everything there gives one a feeling of perfect life, love and beauty.

Whatever way to wholeness works best for you is your way. Achieving wholeness is a very complex, life long spiritual process, and it is regarding this process I feel a need to share with you all the different ways I have discovered to be helpful so far. It is very important to remove all one’s negative feelings, fears and desires. What we feel can have an awesome quantum effect on one’s life, health, relationships and degree of success.

My knowledge will change and evolve as I get closer and closer to the actual components of how best to find wholeness or perfect joy with no limit and no end. For lack of better words, this would have to mean finding union with God (Goddess) or one’s True Self which is, as best as I know, the very basis of spirituality. All the separate sparks of consciousness within all life forms are streams and rivers of light trying to flow back to the one ocean of pure spirit, wisdom, and love.
