To sublimate the recognition that "everything is interconnected in Divinity" into our realistic realization and experience and to make it an unquestionable and natural recognition, we need to face the fact that all sensations and feelings, and thoughts that we perceive through the five senses are not just happening of this world, We need to face the fact that the real cause is within our consciousness.
This is because the human mind cannot recognize, through the five senses, that we are not the cause. In other words, all our impressions of ourselves and others inside and outside our physical bodies are a mirror reflection of ourselves. 'The outside world was not the cause. In that sense, my world was created by me." That is the common understanding of those who have experienced a Divine Spark and those who are reviving the Divine Mind.
As I wrote in a previous e-mail, if we look at our hair in the mirror and see that our hair is all messed up, as if we had woken up from sleep, do what we comb or brush our hair. However, those of us who believed and doubted that "the body is the self" pointed our combs and brushes at the mirror, the world perceived by our five senses, and tried to comb our hair in the mirror.
That is to say, we were not living a life in which we took the initiative to change ourselves, but we were living a life in which we mistakenly believed that the outside world, as perceived by our five senses, was the cause of our problems, and that we had to change the outside world. We can only realize the following words with weight when we understand that much.
"Liberation from Captive Thoughts."
"The Divine Self is the True Self."
"The world exists because I think."
"Harmonizing the positive and negative vibrations of mind and matter."
"The union of the masculine and feminine."
"God-self oneness is a process that all human beings will experience."
"In the future, the physical body will become the spiritual or the divine body, and consciousness will be reduced to Divine Light."
*What are Captive Thoughts --- waves of thoughts that have forgotten the sacred, such as persistence, assumption, determination, attachment, bias, misconception, separation, etc.
Unbalanced beliefs cause all of the above examples of Captive Thoughts. They were necessary experiences that brought us to this moment, but they are not necessarily mental elements to create a more harmonious future.
For this reason, we need to let go of all Captive Thoughts and look at the world from a bird's eye view. From this position, we can see the three-dimensional world from a balanced perspective and instantly see deeper and deeper into the world from a religious standpoint.
Saturday night's " A Day to be Aware of Interconnectedness in the Divine Spark," we invite you to join us with the awareness that our consciousness can see the whole instantly. In so doing, we become each other's ladders, helping and enhancing each other.
