OceanofPDF .comBreathe-Reality is DIFFERENT in
diﬀerent states of
consciousness. To REVISE
your reality, look within.In my stillness, I am the eternal
possibility. In my movement, I am the cosmos. Inﬁnite being is also inﬁnite love.KNOWING YOURSELF IS KEY
TO KNOWING THE WORLDThe world outside your skin is as much
you as the world inside. Your personal
and universal bodies are equally
yours. There is no center of consciousness in
the body because consciousness is not
in the body. The body is in
consciousness. Gratitude is ABUNDANCE
consciousness.Intention with LOVE and
detachment makes even the
most IMPROBABLE
happen.Words are noises in the air. Consciousness gives them life. Names and forms are many. Reality is one. Embrace the unpredictable and the
unexpected. That is the path to your inﬁnite
creativity. If you want inﬁnite energy, focus on
the inﬁnite.BLISS, CONSCIOUSNESS,
and LOVE are the essence
of BEING.Joy, ecstasy, and
unbounded LOVE are
the natural state of the
unconditioned mind.Awareness conceives, governs, and
sustains body and mind. You need
only not interfere with it. Your personal desire is also a
manifestation of the total universe. Everything you call the “world,” including your
own body, is sensations, images, feelings, and
thoughts in consciousness. When you look at your body, you are looking at
your past. To love and to be
loved—this is the most
natural and
spontaneous
expression of our
being.Love is the HIGHEST
intelligence.Everything perceived as “outside” is sensations,
feelings, images, and thoughts within you, and
“you” has no location. The observer has no location in space or time. The
terms inside and outside do not apply. Addiction is not getting enough of what
you don’t want. It is being hooked to a
memory of pleasure that is now pain. Fear is the memory of pain. Addiction is
the memory of pleasure. Freedom is
beyond both. To SHIFT your identity to
your INNERMOST being is
to aﬃrm your perfection.ere is ONLY innity.Letting go of our habitual certainties
opens the doorway to creativity. Instead of thinking outside the box, get
rid of the box. Consciousness
exists in every cell
of our body and in
every particle in the
universe. OceanofPDF .comThis moment is as it should be, unless you think
about it. This moment is eternal before you label it. This is the moment of power. Be the moment. Every experience
creates its own
bodymind. I
experienced childhood
and youth in diﬀerent
bodies, diﬀerent
minds.Beyond LOGIC is
POETRY. Beyond POETRY is
MUSIC. Beyond MUSIC is the
DANCE. Beyond the DANCE,
just LOVE.Pure consciousness is the source of
synchronicity and meaningful
coincidence. As you rest in pure awareness and
watch synchronicity unfold,
“surrender to God” takes on new
meaning.The universe dances to a silent, abstract,
mathematically perfect symphony in the cosmic
mind. The laws of physics are precisely ﬁne-tuned for us
to exist and even to allow us to discover those
laws. You CREATE your past
and your future NOW.Your senses send electrical
information to your brain. Your consciousness
converts that information
into a material universe. When we don’t nourish our self with love, we
replace self with stuff—that is, material things—but
stuff never fulﬁlls us. The world is not a collection of things. It is a
network of relationships. All form arises from the formless
realm of potential forms, the source
and origin of the universe. Life as LOVE,
compassion, JOY,
equanimity, imagination,
and CREATIVITY cannot
be quantied by science.Just as we have a body, mind, and
spirit, the universe has a physical,
mental, and consciousness
component. People don’t grow old; when they stop
growing, they become old. Our sense of self determines our
experience of the world. AWAKENING IS NOT WHO
YOU ARE, BUT DISCARDING
WHO YOU ARE NOT.Love is the EXPERIENCE and
knowledge of one being in many
appearances.Atoms die in waves of potentiality. Waves are born in atoms of
actuality. The cosmos reincarnates
eternally. Your physical form was conceived in
a wave of desire. Desire is pure potentiality, seeking
manifestation. Just as a wave is a movement of the
whole ocean, you are the energy of
the cosmos. Don’t underestimate your power. Your inner potential and cosmic
potential are the same ﬁeld. The ﬁeld is you and the universe,
just as wave and ocean are one.When you are balanced in
body, mind, and spirit, you
feel joyful, energetic,
restful, alert, and
experience lightness of
being. Our body is poetry in form and motion. There is
only one temple for the spirit, and it is our body. Keep it holy. We are the UNIVERSE
dancing.Both mathematics and music are
the language of the universe,
expressing truth, harmony, and
beauty. Science is a spiritual quest to know
ourselves. What we do to the
world, we do to
ourselves. Science
based on the objective
world as separate from
us is dangerous.Synchronicity,
meaningful
coincidence, good luck,
creative response from
the universe, and grace
are synonymous terms.Humility, awe, wonderment, and
delight are qualities of spirit, not just
electrochemical events in synaptic
networks. Nothing ever ceases to exist. Death is
incubation in the ﬁeld of potentiality
until the next leap of creativity. Self-awareness is the window to
cosmic consciousness. e simplest denition of
spirituality is self-awareness.Every moment is a
fork in the road. e
road you take will
shape your future. Choose love over
fear. OceanofPDF .comLogic and rationality are the language of the
scientiﬁc mind. Love and wisdom are the poetry of
the spiritual soul. If your reality is only rational, and has no room for
feelings and the irrational, then your humanity is
incomplete. Love is a quality of
AWARENESS that allows
SOULS to commune with
each other.Karma or choices in the past create the situations
of the present. How we choose now is a function
of free will. To witness yourself making choices is
the beginning of karmic freedom. Between the banks of pleasure and pain, the river
of life ﬂows. The key is to let go and ﬂow.If you sacriﬁce your health to make money today,
you will have to sacriﬁce your money to get health
tomorrow. If you sacriﬁce the present for the future, you will
never enjoy life, for when the future arrives, you
won’t be present.Being awake means that the best time
of your life is neither behind you nor
ahead of you, but now. Consciousness is the organizing
principle that transforms chaos into
cosmos. To BECOME the
consciousness of that
which you witness is
LOVE.God is the inconceivable
truth in which we and
the universe are
happening.I AM is all bodies and all minds in
one consciousness, one spirit. The essence of our being is eternal
possibility. The law of least effort: “Do less and
achieve more.”
Then graduate to “Do nothing and
achieve everything.”
The law of least effort works
through choiceless awareness, plus
subtle intention, leading to
synchronicity. A religious experience
encompasses
transcendence, love,
compassion, humility,
reverence for life, and
loss of the fear of
death.Your ANCESTORS are
alive in every cell of your
body as your genetic
activity.In every seed, there is the promise of thousands of
forests. So, too, in desire is the seed of thousands
of manifestations. As you witness yourself making choices, you begin
the process of awakening. The ground of existence is not inert
emptiness, but a dynamic ﬁeld
connecting all creation in a single
totality. Random mutations in evolution are
reminiscent of quantum uncertainty. Beyond chaos is a creative
organizing principle.Sensations and feelings
in the body are the
KEYS to intuition.ILLNESS BEGINS WITH “I.”
WELLNESS BEGINS WITH
“WE.”The fruit takes time to ripen and then falls
suddenly. Enlightenment works in a similar way. There is always preparation and awakening. We are the eyes of the universe,
looking at itself. All this struggling to learn when we
simply have to remember. No matter what the situation, there
is a choice. You will never trust your intuition
until you identify with it. Self-esteem enters here.Every event has
innumerable causes and
leads to innumerable
eﬀects. Events and objects
are snapshots of the
universe in motion.e only MADNESS
that is sane is the
intoxication of love.Stop playing small. You are divinity in motion. To own the world, see inﬁnite
potential in all situations at all times.All boundaries are
conceptual. The universe
boundless outward in the
cosmos, boundless inward in
the atom. Think cosmically,
communicate globally, actlocally, but with global and
cosmic impact. To be ALIVE is to be
AWARE and
PRESENT. en every
moment, every
BREATH, is
BENEDICTION,
GRACE, and a
MIRACLE.At the moment of
conception, you had neither
body nor brain, but
awareness was present.In the hall of mirrors, I can see for
miles. Every demon, every enemy,
every torturer is me in disguise. Through the mirror of relationship, I
see myself.We are the human activity of the
universe, and most of it is
unknowable. We cannot step
outside the universe to see it. Everything in the visible world has
its roots in the formless invisible.Love can be our
RELIGION beyond
boundaries if we live it,
BREATHE it, experience
it, BECOME it.Self-awareness and
compassion ease our
own suﬀering. OceanofPDF .comWhen your awareness
is free, you know the
entire universe as your
body.Consciousness alone is. It conceives, constructs, governs, and becomes the
universe. The limits of our identity are the limits of our
awareness. The more universal or cosmic your
sense of self, the bigger your world
will be. At all times, your world is a
projection of yourself. Expansion of
self to universal awareness is
enlightenment.AWARENESS is a eld in
which minds, bodies, and
universes arise and
SUBSIDE like waves in an
ocean.Spirituality is not a
contrived MOOD or
behavior, but a simple,
unaﬀected humanity.What we are looking for is the one
who is looking. Only the witness of the mind can know
the mind. Peace can only be created by those
who are peaceful, and love by those
who have loved. At all times, what we are aware of
is the qualities of our own
consciousness. The world is as we are. e only sane RESPONSE
to our collective insanity is
unconditional LOVE.God is the inﬁnite potential in which
galaxies and universes arise from
nothingness and disappear into
nothingness. Only God exists. Everything else is
ﬂux—the coming and going of God.LOVE
is the ultimate TRUTH.Lightness of being,
FLOW, and joy are the
outcome of letting go of
what never was.You are the master of your life, not the
mechanisms in your brain or your
body. Intention and desire alter the material
landscape of the brain. Neurons and genes turn on and off,
depending on your choices. Reclaiming consciousness is nothing
other than reclaiming the power of
choice.Angry people SHOUT,
those in love WHISPER,
those who are love become
SILENT.EACH OF US IS THE ONE
MINDReligion has an obligation not to
contradict the known laws of
science. Science has an obligation not to
reduce rich human experience to
raw data. Be a child, let go, allow
the rhythms of nature
to cradle you, and the
universe will carry
you wherever your
dreams are cosmic
consciousness.If you obsess over
whether you are
making the right
decision, you are
basically assuming that
the universe will
reward you for one
thing and punish you
for another.Atoms emerge from a void that is pure potential. Thoughts emerge from a void that is pure
consciousness. Atoms emerge from a void that is pure potential. Thoughts emerge from a void that is pure
consciousness. Your true self is the LIGHT
of awareness that brings the
world into manifestation.Mental processes can alter reality. We make the universe visible. The universe has no ﬁxed agenda. Once you make any decision,
the universe works around that decision. There is no right or
wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought,
feeling, and action that you experience. Merely wanting bad things to stop is
not enough. You must intend
something new to replace the old. Intention coming from a deep level
clears the way for its own fulﬁllment. The world we experience is a
projection of images in collective
consciousness. Consciousness is
universal.Perspective is personal. e mind never sleeps. You
can delegate CREATIVE
solutions to it, even as your
body sleeps.AWARENESS
of self, of others, and of the
world exists as sensations in
the body. To know the world,
feel your body.Both religion and science are cultural mythologies
with only partial glimpses of reality—one
subjective, the other objective. Science makes life comfortable. Spirituality makes life meaningful.Self-knowledge is the highest form of knowledge. Be INNOCENT, be
SIMPLE, be PRESENT, and
your life will be
CHARMED.Real happiness or
joy does not depend
on circumstances. OceanofPDF .comConsciousness cannot be observed
because consciousness is the
observer. Pain is not the same as suffering. Left
to itself, the body discharges pain
spontaneously, letting go of it the
moment that the underlying cause is
healed. Suffering is pain that we hold
on to. It comes from the mind’s
mysterious instinct to believe that pain
is good, or that it cannot be escaped,
or that the person deserves it. A QUIET
mind is more powerful than
a POSITIVE mind.An unseen, invisible reality is the
source of all visible things,
knowable through our own
awareness. God is the unknowable mystery of
existence, the mystery that is to be
lived and never solved.The world is as we are. If you see your inﬁnite potential, the
world is yours. Hope and despair are
states of mind. BEING is
beyond and free of both.Good and evil are
expressions of states of
mind. Evil can be
overcome only from
the creative womb of
being.Greatness is a choice. Every quality ascribed to the physical universe,
including your own body, is a quality in
consciousness. CONSCIOUSNESS is the
dimensionless creator and
EXPERIENCER of all
dimensions.SELFPOWER is being
immune to criticism and
attery.There is no ﬂow of time. There is only the
ﬂow of experience around the still point of
now. Now never ends. You walk in grace when you surrender to
now. NOTHING BELONGS TO US. WE BELONG TO THE WORLD.Money is the exchange of values in
collective consciousness. Wealth is a state of consciousness. Money is its bookkeeping symbol.Sinner and saint are
STATES of mind. Being is
beyond both.The mind can know the contents of the
brain, but the contents of the mind can’t be
found in the brain. The only way to deal with change is to
plunge into it, move with it, and join
the dance. Watch your thoughts, feelings,
emotions, and reactions. Then watch
the watcher of those thoughts, feelings,
emotions, and reactions. Inner beauty is the light of love, and when it
radiates from you, you and those around you will
glow. Peace can be created only by those who are
peaceful. A loving world will be created by those
who love.Everything we call
“reality” comes to us
through the
STRUCTURE of our
senses and our brain. It
is a reection of
OURSELVES.Everything that can happen
has happened or is
happening or will happen.The eternal invisible projects as the temporal visible. Only the
invisible is real.Every time we reach for a creative idea, we go to
the same place where the universe goes to create a rose or a
galaxy. Self-awareness is the highest knowledge and transforms
knowledge into wisdom. In the absence of despair, there is
no need for hope. Being is
independent of both hope and
despair. Since your potential for knowledge,
creativity, and beauty is inﬁnite,
settling for anything less is a
compromise.ere is only ONE
religion, and it is the
religion of love.Breathe.OceanofPDF .com

To revise your reality, you need to look within yourself.
What is the key to revising one's reality?
The body is in consciousness, not the other way around.
What is the relationship between the body and consciousness?
Yes, intention with love and detachment can make even the most improbable happen.
Can we create our own reality?
Our thoughts and feelings are a projection of our own consciousness, and we are the creator of our own reality.
What is the relationship between our thoughts and the world?
Our perception of the world is a reflection of our own selves and our own consciousness.
What is the relationship between our perception of the world and the universe?
