The World Lives Within You.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
I have just finished reading Journey Into Healing. It’s a fascinating book and it’s so exciting to know that the world we live in is nothing but like a swarm of bees, an “illusion of shape behind which the reality is pure change.” However, there was one thing I could not quite understand. You wrote “you believe that you live in the world, when in fact the world lives within you.” My mind couldn’t grasp this concept. How does this gigantic world reside within me and how am I standing on earth that is inside of me at the same time? Is it because the world is a projection of what my higher self projects on a screen that is as known as physical plane? I’m very confused.
Response:
The hallucination of materialism is very strong and it pervades the very way we conceptualize ourselves. We tend to think of ourselves as localized entities occupying a defined space within the physical universe. The physical properties of our bodies are just artifacts of the perceptual filters of our consciousness that is generated from that constant buzz of unmanifest possibilities. We are not the body, we are that consciousness that gives rise to those experiences. That consciousness is non-local; it is everywhere, and not limited to being in any one place. When you know your true self, you realize that there is just one mind, one intelligence, one observer, one Being perceiving itself through the countless perspectives of different beings. That is the “you” that the world lives within. Your core being is the cosmic self that contains, permeates and generates all.
Love,
Deepak
