As close as you think

Do our thoughts create our perceptions . . . or do our perceptions create our thoughts?

As close as you think

Is this a chicken and egg, or is there a deeper reality?

From the perspective of being separate to the world around us, it is easy to believe that things out there “are the way they are”. Our initial observations are of an immoveable reality – beyond our single ability to control.

On the other hand, from an inclusive perspective, all things being connected, even our first observations become the making of our own creation. Objectivity is an illusion – we are in total control.

The human mind is an amazing creation. Through our consciousness we can perceive all that exists or we can be selective and focus on any aspect of our experience . . .

As individual human beings we utilise only a small partition of our consciousness. I believe this accounts for our experience of separation from each other. However, as we expand our consciousness, such partitions fall away to reveal our connection and oneness with what was once objectively perceived.

The expansion of human consciousness is a natural growth phenomenon and arguably the result of humans having to look further for a more rewarding experience of life . . .

There is a correlation between expanding consciousness and Inner Peace. Caught in the spokes of the material world carousel, mental stress limits our perceptions to see only the separation of the objective reality. Through the practice of meditation we uncover our Inner Peace and we become free of material world restraints.

Our perceptions widen to reveal the inclusive reality of our deepest creative nature.

Having said this, the expansion of consciousness is a journey of growth. Once our eyes are opened we may be awe-inspired by the immediate view of a beautiful reality, but we still have to walk the walk and talk the talk. The material-view mind-set that has passed through millennia of generations to the memory of every cell in our body is going to take generations of growth to change. But we are on the path and that’s the important thing . . .

An expanded reality invites us to participate. In the holism of our connection we are within reach of everything. The “agony of choice” may well be our limitation in the first instance, but as we begin to grow into the potential of full consciousness, we will realise the potency of creative thought at a quantum level.

Along the pathway of our expanding perceptions there are gems to be had. One such gem is the realisation that we are always right next to the things we desire. At the heart of this gem are your thoughts and beliefs. The unfolding of creation is up to you . . .

To whatever your desire – you are as close as you think.

Peace in Meditation.
