WE ARE ALL a part of something and when you are a part of something, you can easily understand it. You just have to believe that you can. Now, imagine the complexity of the matrix or collective consciousness. If you can wrap your mind around it, imagine the possibilities. The planet is a thinking organism, and that thinking is a prime example of what you believe is the matrix. It is just a little different because that reality is all energy.
The Earth is vastly complicated, even on that level. Yet it is but a grain of sand on a thousand mile oceanfront. Every other grain of sand is just as complex as the first one. Now, mentally move past the sand and think of the complexities that put the oceanfront together. Can you begin to conceive this? It is the galaxy, the Universe, multi-universes, the totality of it all. This is way beyond anything you have the ability to comprehend.
You have to deal with here and now. That is what I am saying. If you want to pursue this path of awakening, that’s fine. If you do not that is also fine. You can choose to be a red cell or you can choose to be a white cell.
It is very simple. However, the only way that you are going to be a white cell is by an act of will. If you want to be a red cell, then do nothing at all.
Just go through life and do whatever life tells you to do. It is the easiest path to take.
As difficult as it is to follow the path of awakening, there is a point when you are done with the hard work but it is a tremendous undertaking to get there. It could take you your whole life or even many lifetimes. But it could also take just a week. There is a point when you reach a level where the path becomes you. It’s like an arm or a leg; it’s just you.
There are students who put forth so much energy trying to force their awakening that they forget about the box. There is a box. If you envision it in your mind, you see a box floating. See it now. Close your eyes. Inside the box are all the secrets that you need to attain enlightenment. It has all the secrets of the cosmos and the Universe and everything you have ever wanted to know. You know it is all in there; an enlightened master is telling you it is in there. There is just one problem: the harder you try to open the box, the tighter it becomes. The only way to open the box is with absolutely nothing. Then like a flower feeling the rays of the sun, the box will automatically open.
So you can’t force the Universe to give to you?
Correct, everyone wants to force it. You don’t realize it, but sometimes even by learning you are forcing it. People try to find the answers in so many different ways. There is one thing for certain that I can tell you, “In this world, nothing is exactly the right answer.” I’ll teach you what I know, but it is through all of this knowledge and how you put it together that you will realize it is nothing from this world. But it will be the right answer.
Other students reach a point where they hit maximum velocity. This is what happens with the majority of students over time. They work very hard. They are dedicated, committed and their heart is in the right place.
But they reach a point when they ask the question, “Isn’t this enough?
Aren’t I ready yet to move to a different level? Haven’t I achieved something that is worth acknowledging?” That is what I call the breaking point. They have just about reached maximum velocity and they want to be accredited. They want to be acknowledged for something that they have spent a year, 10 years or maybe 20 years working on. Their ego takes over and they are missing the whole point. The point is to expect nothing, gain
everything. By the simple fact of expecting to be at a certain level, they gain nothing. In fact, they set themselves back, and that is a problem.
It’s so hard not to want and expect to reach higher levels.
Of course it’s hard. If it were easy, then everybody would be doing it.
If you don’t force the box, you cannot even try to open it.
I gave it to you in an analogy so that you can better understand what I am talking about. What was the analogy?
The box.
Let me show you something. I’ve never shared this with anybody and no one has bothered to ask or to even think about it. Everything that I collect has a meaning to it. This little box actually has something inscribed on it. Do not open it; you are not allowed to see what is in there.
There is something very special and mysterious inside. Everything I have means something. I buy these things because they are significant; they are tools for teaching. Sometimes, I don’t remember to use the tool.
Sometimes, the opportunity just doesn’t present itself. The opportunity is here now and I am sharing it with you. What do you acknowledge about this box?
It has flowers on it.
Yes, there are flowers. What makes a flower flourish?
The sun.
That is not the right answer even though I do admire the sun. There is a secret in the sun, but it is not what you think. You do not think correctly.
You think like a human being. You think only with what you can see three dimensionally. You can only think with what you are able to comprehend, and that’s the problem. It is the whole problem. The box is like a flower. It is a bud. Have you ever taken your fingers and tried to pry open a flower to see its full blossom?
It wouldn’t work. You would just destroy it.
You would never get to see the full beauty of the flower if you did that.
Can the wind open the flower? Can the rain, the dark, the cold or the heat open the flower? Absolutely not! Using an analogy again, the flower opens when everything is perfect and the sun is shining upon it. It opens perfectly when it is ready to open because there is an unseen harmony and it listens to the Force.
How can I unlock the knowledge inside of me without forcing the process?
I’ll tell you part of a fable. There is a leather bound book that had beautiful little flowers painted on it. Inside the book were all the secrets of the Universe. It contained everything from the beginning of time, from all universes, and from all galaxies. All the knowledge of the Universe was in this one book. When you opened the book, you saw that the first page was a mirror. The next page was a mirror. Every single page was a mirror. What do you think that meant?
The secrets of the Universe are inside of you.
Yes, that is true. That is one way of looking at it. But how can we look at that in a forward-thinking way? This fable is from thousands of years ago when thought was more simple-minded.
I am a universe.
How?
I have living systems and I am a giant organism with smaller organisms within.
Yes, now we are getting somewhere. Let’s keep working on it and give it some more thought.
By reflecting inward, you can see what is outside.
Well, that’s on a spiritual level. Let’s take this to a different level. Let’s go to the place that most people do not really think about. We know that, scientifically, you are made of molecules that billions of years ago were actually suns that went supernova. Supernovas happen when a star becomes so old and ancient that after millions or billions of years of existing, it explodes. The explosion is like millions and millions of nuclear bombs going off all at once. When stars go supernova, they blow all of its matter throughout the galaxy. In fact, most of it is still moving.
That is why part of the Universe is still expanding. You are made from molecules that have existed for billions of years from the beginning of time. You are made of substance that has existed since the beginning of creation. Think about that.
In one form or another?
Inside and all over your body in this physical form, you have molecules that are billions of years old. You cannot destroy energy. You can only re-create it. In some way you see yourself, but what you see isn’t completely what you are. What would happen if you could see yourself and everything that you are? Some spiritualists teach their students to travel backward mentally when they meditate. The idea is to go backwards until you get to the pivotal point of creation before it all began to create the Universe. What happens when you get to the very beginning of matter, to the beginning of creation? What would happen if you went through?
What is on the other side? Maybe all of the answers you ever wanted to know. Maybe all of the answers that you believe you can find right now, you could have found a long time ago.
In some ways, this is the same kind of thinking as the old masters, but in other ways it is not. It is about self-reflection and looking within yourself for the answers. It is about all the simple stuff on the surface that
you should acknowledge about yourself for your own spiritual growth.
Without acknowledging those things, you cannot really acknowledge the deeper knowledge that is inside of you. The process is incomplete. It is like leaving on a journey to cross a desert without water or shoes thinking in your head that you can just go across. You must build the foundation so that you can conceive and comprehend on your journey. It’s very important to always have your teacher work with you.
You think in a structured method. Everything is structured in your mind, and rightfully so. You live in a very structured world, everything is three-dimensional. Everything has a beginning, an end, and a purpose.
Sometimes you have to move beyond that. The reason that you cannot move beyond it is you do not have enough trust. That is what keeps you here. It is what keeps you solid in this realm and in this dimension. You cannot think that you will be able to totally surrender, hold your breath, and then somehow you are going to make it to the other side. It does not work that way. You must have everything right in your mind. Everything that you are doing has to be right. It is about “wax on, wax off” to the point where you can do it without thinking about it. It becomes a natural process for your consciousness. That’s when you’re there. Learn to think without thinking and experience without having to physically throw yourself into something. Trust yourself to experience perfection. When you experience perfection, you will become like the flower bud. You will simply bloom.
You are trying to reach a place in your mind of not controlling something, but getting to that point through control. It is the only way you know how to get there. When I tell you to sit down, put your legs this way, sit straight, touch this spot, and think about nothing else except that spot, I am teaching you to do everything in a systematic way. I am trying to teach you not to think at all. Doesn’t it sound a little bit odd? I am teaching you not to think at all, but I am doing it by teaching you a structured way of getting there.
By using a very structured way of thinking, you are teaching us not to think?
Correct. I do not want you to learn not to think or just to have silence in your mind. I do not want you just be quiet. I am pushing you through to the other side. You need to think in a way that you have not thought before.
You will still be in control, but it is a different kind of control than you can understand in this dimension. Once you are there, and you bring it back through you, you will understand.
What is the purpose of this type of thinking?
It is for you to control your brain, and shut down your body so that you can just listen inside to tonalize. You have to be able to comprehend and have a theoretical understanding of all that it entails. This takes years to learn. There will be times when you are tired of it and maybe you will want to move on. People go through life in phases. Unfortunately, the human condition on this path is no different. Unless you are exceptional, you will only make it just so far. So, you have to hope that you are exceptional. Time will tell.
Ultimately, I am teaching you to think differently and to become more flexible in your consciousness. By doing this, you will awaken. It is a very simple program. Don’t have anything going through your head and you will comprehend. This way of thinking shows you how to exist in a way that is non-existent, but is very present. How do you know God is there?
How do you know if the Force is here? It is like the rays of sunlight.
Sunlight is always here but you cannot smell, hear, or taste it. You technically cannot feel it. The after-effect is what you are feeling. To keep it simple, you cannot look directly at sunlight, but it is here. You just trust that it is. You simply know that it is.
It is the same way when you are trying to understand this level of thinking. You have to start thinking differently. By using these examples, everything I am showing you helps bridge you over to comprehend this.
You have to take those examples into consideration. It is natural that you may forget them. That is just the way it is.
What is an example of how you can utilize this way of thinking?
For many years, I predicted the future as a means of making a living. I was highly accurate. If someone asked me, “Is the future predetermined?”
I would say, “No, it is not.” How is it possible to predict the future then if it is not predetermined? Most human beings are limited in their thinking, as you are at this moment. But I am going explain it and you will understand what I mean.
Pretend we are in a room that is very small. There’s a colony of ants on one side and there is a colony of ants on the other. As you study both of these colonies of ants, they are not aware of one another because the room is too big, too vast for them. But on one side, you have an ant that you monitor and you recognize its habit. It likes to go out to explore. It is always going out further than every other ant and then going back. There is another ant that is on the other side of the room that also likes to explore.
You see that this specific ant is always going out and exploring new places, and then showing the colony the location of this new batch of food.
But there is one thing that is a bit different about this other ant. He always attacks and bites the head off of any ant that he comes across that is not from his own colony. Now, all of a sudden, we have predictability here. We have one ant that’s constantly going out exploring from one side, and we have another ant that’s constantly going out exploring from the other side.
It is inevitable that sooner or later, they are going to meet. And then, what will happen?
They are going to fight.
Who is going to attack?
The ant that always bites their heads off.
That’s right. What’s going to happen to the ant that doesn’t attack the others when he goes out exploring and runs into the ant that does attack?
It will have its head bitten off.
Would you say that is a high level of predictability or would you say that is the future predetermined? A computer holds a lot of data. When you ask a question, it computes the answer for you because it’s been predetermined. Did it know you specifically were going to ask that question? No, the programmer anticipated the fact that somebody might ask it. The computer does not think. It has everything predetermined so that when somebody punches in a certain amount of information, it answers that specific question. But it was prepared by somebody who determined that someone would eventually ask that question. Was it predetermined to have the answer because it knew that you specifically were going to ask it that particular question at a specific time? No. It knew that particular question was going to be asked sooner or later, so it had the answer ready.
What do you know for sure? We know that you are going to grow old.
Your teeth are going to decay. You are going to get wrinkles. And you are going to eventually die. Is there a level of predictability there, or is it predetermined? The Universe is much more complex, by far. We know from chaos theory that everything is predictable. If you take a super ball and bounce it in a square room, do you know where it is going to land? No, but a computer can calculate a billion different possibilities for the outcome of that situation. It can determine something from this particular point, with this amount of velocity, at this specific point of release, at this specific angle, that you need to take three steps to your right, one forward, put your hand there and wait. How does it know?
There is a high level of predictability.
Did it perceive the future?
No, it just estimated the outcome.
Is the future predetermined?
No.
These two concepts are parallel. Just because you cannot perceive something does not mean something much bigger, like the Force, does not perceive it. In this same perspective, we could be the ants.
It sees the baby being born that you will marry someday because it can highly predict what the two parent combinations are going to do, and how and where the child will be raised. It sees the airplane being built that’s going to kill your father because of the career path that he has taken. It can see all that because its consciousness is so vast. It’s a cumulative intelligence.
Everything is predictable because there are only so many variations.
It’s just how much mental capacity you have to be able to see the whole picture. Maybe you saw all those ants over there but there were so many of them, you could not quite figure out the pattern and habits of them all.
Maybe there were 20 ants and you figured out all of their patterns. You also figured out the other 20. You knew which ant was likely to do what, and you had a complete understanding of what would happen with a particular ant and when.
What if you had an infinite amount of intelligence? Don’t you think you could have an infinite amount of predictability for what is going to happen through time and destiny? When I predict the future, I tap into the matrix. I cannot say that I am 100% accurate, but my accuracy is around 95%. Let’s say that God knows 98% of what is going to happen. Is it more interested in what if? It knows everything else. What it is that is not going to happen. The meaning, or the purpose of life throughout this entire Universe, is for God to experience the unknown. It is waiting to see what’s going to happen.
Researchers can see patterns in the running water of a brook, if studied long enough and put on a TV screen where they can add a huge amount of colors to it. But we cannot see this same affect with the human eye. To us it looks more like static, but they can see patterns and eventually predict the rhythm of running water.
