Creation.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
I read your book “How to Know God” and I love how you break down how we relate to God based on the stages in our journey as to how our brains are able to relate. What I have noticed about your book is that full realization is beyond duality, no existence of time/space, etc. Looking at this from this point of view wouldn’t that mean we are all expressions of God, because from the material side, you have time and space and separation and duality. But, when you are not in material existence, everything exists through energy/thought and there is no present, past, future, etc. You are just one with God. Is this how to interpret creation? Is it like you have a source of power that separated into multitudes to realize its true essence through experience?
Response:
What you describe as full realization is the state of Unity Consciousness where the pure awareness of the self is recognized not only in the silence of the self, but also thoughts, feelings, and experiences of the mind and body. This is the ultimate realization that wisdom traditions describe as knowing that you are at one with the universe. In a book called You Are the Universe, which I co-wrote with physicist Menas Kafatos, this realization of human knowledge is explored in detail. It is a state of consciousness rooted in the reality beyond duality and time and space, but it does not deny or interrupt the human experience of diversity as we currently experience it. We, and everything in creation, are all expressions of that one unlimited consciousness. As you suggested, you can think of that pure awareness giving rise to the apparent diversity as a means for it to know itself.
