The Youniverse

The entire Universe is born out of the ability to choose. Everything is the result of the One being choosing to express itself in all the ways it can. Our ability to choose is our connection to the power of the One. Our choice is that powerful.

When you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts—thoughts that negate your highest idea about a thing—think again! I want you to do this, literally. If you think you are in a doldrum, in a pickle, and no good can come of this, think again. If you think the world is a bad place, filled with negative events, think again. If you think your life is falling apart, and it looks as if you’ll never get it back together again, think again.

— Conversations with God


When facing an unpleasant situation that does not seem to have a solution, ask yourself: what does this situation allow me to look at within myself that I may not have looked at were it not for my experience of this situation? How does this situation serve me in desiring and constructing a new state of being and a new experience? In what way does this situation lead to a growth in my understanding of myself? The answers are within, waiting to be discovered. Ask yourself these questions and look within.

More on the Cycle of Negativity

As the creator of your experience, your natural inclination is to create and experience positive manifestations, so you forgot about who you really are (infinite consciousness) and your connection to the rest of your infinite being, all in order to limit yourself and fully experience the negative manifestations you desired to experience.

In a sense, you became unnatural; creating a perspective of separation between yourself and nature, your reality, and the rest of existence, so that you would unconsciously resist your positive nature and create the experience of negativity.

Negativity is unnatural, because it is a state of separation from existence. Of course, the natural state of existence is connectivity and integrity- existence is an infinite and homogeneous field containing everything in existence- so the perspective of negativity and separation is unnatural in the most basic of terms. 

All your fears, pain and suffering are the result of this perspective of negativity. Therefore, fear, pain and suffering are themselves unnatural as well.

Now you’re waking up from this negative perspective and becoming natural once again. You’re realizing your creative nature and your connectivity with all things in existence.

Waking up is turning out to be quite a challenge though, as you’ve gotten quite used to the negativity. You’ve gotten used to thinking of yourself as finite, limited and separate. You’ve gotten used to the self-judgement, and the pain and suffering that comes with it. Part of you doesn’t even trust this awakening process. That part of you thinks it’s yet another trick; another too-good-to-be-true story, because it is so attached and identified with the illusion of separation. 

The awakening process isn’t a lie; it is happening. You are waking up. The experience of writing this information, and reading this information, is proof enough. It’s just a matter of acclimating to the radically different perspective of positivity. 


The Cycle of Negativity

In order to experience the negative portions of existence, we had to forget our true nature as the creators of our experience. We had to create a sense of separation and a limitation on our perception of the rest of existence and the rest of our beings. We had to become predominantly identified with our bodies and the world of physical form, and the sense of separation that they convey. 

This is because if we were aware of our true, infinite, unlimited and connected nature, we would immediately step out of any negative experience simply by desiring to experience a positive experience instead. If we were to remember our identity as the creators of our experience, and remember the fact that reality is not outside us, but within us, we would not be limited enough to stick around in any sort of negativity. In other words, without forgetting our true nature, there would be no way to truly experience the depths of negativity as we have. 

So a cycle of separation, limitation and negativity was created, wherein we may fully experience negativity in all of its various forms. This experience of negativity was created simply for the fun of it- there was no obligation for us to fulfill. The experience of negativity was created for the sake of experiencing ourselves more fully. In other words, we experienced negativity so that we may understand the true depths of the infiniteness of our beings. It was an act of curiosity; an exploration into an exotic realm within our beings. I’m sure we (at the soul level) have been pretty astonished to find that within our infiniteness there is an experience of apparent finiteness, separation and limitation! These attributes are the hallmarks of what has been the nature of the human experience until now.

Now we arrive at the present day, where we are remembering our true nature, and our connection with All-That-Is. Today, we are remembering our identities as creators of our experience and our spiritual nature. As we remember more and more, and become increasingly reacquainted with our true identity, it will be much more difficult to experience true negativity for any prolonged amount of time. We will quickly snap out of any negativity, integrating it within us while experiencing more acceleration and expansion into the positive aspects of our beings.

The experiences that lie ahead for us are ones of increased connectivity, expansion, joy, love, peace, abundance and all that good stuff. I know if may be hard to believe right now, especially with the amount of negativity still within our experience, but the signs of our progress are slowly revealing themselves. This blog and the information it contains is one of those signs. “The Secret” and the teachings on the Law of Attraction are some more signs. The fact that the world has never been as peaceful as it is right now is another sign. The fact that our world is growing more connected, more abundant, more healthy and more smart- not less- are yet more signs. So is the fact that there are so many other people waking up to our true nature at this time. The cycle of negativity is coming to an end.


Your Power is Indomitable

No one can affect the form of your experience but you. Your mind is completely inviolate; you alone have the power to fill it with whichever thoughts you prefer.

In the same way, the form of your experience is also inviolate. Every person, object or any other form in your experience is created by you. Nobody has the ability to keep the symbols of abundance, health, success, or any other preferred state of being away from you. The symbols must be there once the state of being is created within you.

Even after experiencing an event, formed by you of course, you are completely in control as to how you respond to that event. No form has the power to interject into your mind and make you unhappy. This is why people feel so disempowered; they unknowingly allow form to interject in their mind, which then creates the illusion that the world of form has power over them and that they are victims of it. 

To learn of your true power, you must learn to focus your mentality so that your inner experience is exactly how you prefer it to be. You must learn to keep your mind inviolate, allowing only that which you want to experience into it. This is not about struggling against negative thoughts; it is about learning that negative thoughts are just as equal in their ability to be entertained as positive thoughts. This is about simple and effortless choice; simple and effortless awareness; simple and effortless action.

You must learn the art of consciously creating your state of being, by keeping your mentality in alignment with your preferences. It is a challenge, especially when the form of your experience is not in alignment with your preferences. But you will meet that challenge. You just have to fully focus on creating your state of consciousness, while allowing the forms of your experience to automatically and synchronistically change to represent that state. All form-ation is directed by your state of being. Surrender to the flow of that form-ation. 

I guess this is another way of explaining the Law of Attraction.


Thoughts on thoughts.

We experience the world of results. We do not and cannot see the cause of our world with our physical senses. The physical senses themselves are part of a body that is a result of the causes that are not of this world. 

The unseen (spiritual) forces of existence hold matter together to create form. Our own unseen forces (thought, emotion, belief) interact with the unseen forces of existence, creating the results we experience in the world of form. Therefore, our experience of cause is the experience of thought and of emotion.

Getting in touch with those unseen forces allows us to see which types of results will be forming in the world of results. 

The first level of creation is thought, which is invisible to the physical senses. The second level of creation is physical action through the body, which is the first physical signal of the thought being created. The third level of creation is the experience of feedback from the environment. The thought is then experienced through events.

As long as we are focused physically, our thoughts, beliefs and emotions will be automatically formed.

Our physical brains are receivers of thought. They do not produce thought. Our bodies themselves are the results of our focus, of thought. As the focus changes, so does the body. As thoughts of anger are entertained, the body changes its form to reflect it. As thoughts of joy are entertained, the body changes its form again to reflect it as well. The body is the primary expression of thought into form.  

Reality is within our focus; our focus is not within reality. 


The Law of Form-ation

All forms require our focus in order to maintain them. The forms that make up the Universe were created in order for spirit (invisible, unmeasurable consciousness) to create experience through varying degrees of physicality. The focus of spirit created and continues to create the forms of the Universe. The Universe is the result of spirit focusing in a certain way in order to experience itself, because in its invisible and undifferentiated form, it is essentially non-experiential.

So, each of us is spirit (or invisible, unmeasurable, infinite consciousness if you prefer), individualizing through focus to create our bodily perspectives. We get to experience ourselves by focusing and seeing the results of that focus form around us. The form-ation of the Universe is the current methodology through which we experience ourselves. We are the creators of the experience of Life, through the manipulation of form by the power of our focus. 

Much of this focus is automatic and very subtle. For example, we sub-consciously (or sometimes consciously) focus on the forms that make up our natural world each time we breathe the air; drink some water, or eat the food we grow out of the soil of the earth. We subtly focus on the workings of the form of our planet and the Universe each time we take notice of the cycle of day and night; and the cycle of the seasons. We also focus on the forms of our bodies by washing them, exercising them, feeding them and so on. In essence, the form-ation of our physical experience is determined by our constant subconscious focus on it.

This law of form-ation applies to our mental forms as well. Our social systems, borders, businesses, art, culture and so on, all require our constant focus in order for them to be maintained. So do every one of our relationships; their upkeep requires us to keep in touch with what or whom we are relating with.

A simple withdrawal of this focus on any form, be it physical or mental, causes the form to deteriorate. The examples of this occurrence are everywhere: relationships cease to exist when we stop maintaining our focus on them; buildings start to crumble without our attention on them; cars and other machinery seem to malfunction without constant use and attention. Our bodies themselves disintegrate as soon as we decide to focus our consciousness elsewhere through the process of death. 

Creating our preferred experience of Life, then, starts with realizing whether the forms we are focusing on are creating the experiences we prefer or not. Life is the experience of creating different forms, and creating different forms is the experience of focusing our attention on the forms we wish to experience. The experience of the form of this blog, for example, happens through our attention on it. My writing and your reading (two types of focus), along with the attention of the staff at Tumblr, who supply the software and host the blog on their servers, all help create the form of this blog. Without that constant attention, the form of the blog would simply deteriorate and disappear.

Gaining the understanding of this law of form-ation, we can learn to consciously create the experience of our lives by keeping our focus on the forms we prefer, while allowing the ones we don’t prefer to fall away. 

The law of form-ation can and has also been applied with equal success in order to focus on something not yet manifested. Just as we can use our physical senses to focus on the portions of our outer experience that we prefer, causing them to form more strongly in our experience, we can also use our inner senses to focus on the portions of our internal imagination, to bring those preferred experiences into manifestation. Our imagination is the aspect of us that most strongly points to our nature as infinite consciousness; it highlights our ability to focus on and form an incredible variety of unique experiences.

Gaining an understanding of the law of form-ation, I think it’s time for each of us to take a fresh look at our own lives and assess which forms we do not prefer and which we do prefer. We can then remove our focus from the ones we don’t prefer and start focusing fully on the ones we do. After all, our focus gives us the incredible power to create the type of Life experiences we prefer.

We must learn to keep that focus clean. We must keep it sharp and allow it to cut through all that clutter and noise that we don’t prefer, while shining brightly on that which we do prefer. This is the way any change has ever taken place, and this is the way each of us can consciously form our experience. 


Speaking with the Universe

The Universe speaks to us through events and experiences. Events and experiences are the result of the Universe forming itself into a certain form; that is, they are the Universe’s in-formation. 

This in-formation is created through the spiritual or mental power of desire. Sub-atomic particles (or the energy that composes them) come together through the attractive force of desire to form clumps of matter, which then come together to form different experiences. Every one of our experiences has been created by manipulations in the combination of matter of our environment. In other words, our experience is created by our interaction with our environment and our environment is created by the changing combinations of matter. For example, our experience of home is different to our experience of work because of the difference in the structure of the matter between the two places and the difference in our interactions with each of them. (specifically the buildings, the people around us, the layout of the two spaces…)  

Now, the Universe’s spiritual force of desire (spiritual because it is invisible to us. We see the results of its desire, but not the desire itself) is no different fundamentally from our own spiritual force of desire; they are one and the same, only differing in degree. It is predominantly through the mental and spiritual forces (thoughts, emotions and imagination) of the Universe’s individuations (that’s you and I and every other organism in the Universe) that communication between the whole and the individuations takes place. In other words, it is the in-formation of our mental attitude and emotions that speak to the Universe and everything else within it, and the Universe translates that attitude into the form of events and experiences.

So our understanding now is becoming that It is our mind’s in-formation that creates our experience. If we are to change our experience then, we must change the in-formation our mind is sending to the Universe. Then it is up to us to move with the energy of the Universe in its act of forming itself to reflect our new in-formation. In other words, we must follow our excitement, which is the spiritual flow of the re-forming Universe, to do our part in creating the experiences we prefer. To put it another way, our body is a vital part of our experience- it is the instrument through which we experience physical reality- and it is up to us to move our body in the direction of our excitement, knowing that we are actively going with the flow of the creation of the form of our desired experience. The rest is up to the Universe. The process is: we follow our joy with no expectation, while the Universe automatically and flawlessly forms the rest of our experience, bringing us in contact with whatever we need in order to experience the result of our mind’s new in-formation.

Now, some may think (as I did) that the Universe somehow stops us from experiencing the form of our desire. I only thought that because I got caught up in ideas and definitions of good and bad; difficult and easy, and the definitions of different experiences, without realizing that every experience is neutral and made up of nothing more than props of matter in different formations. It is us that declare one formation of matter (one experience) is more desirable than another, or more difficult to experience than another; as it is our birthright to do so and our very reason for existing. The Universe, on the other hand, does not care what form it takes, and is capable of effortlessly taking any form. It does not care about what types of clothes we wear; how we cut our hair; how we grow our food; how we treat others; how we treat it; how we create our social systems; what we do for work, or any other experience we create out of its form. It faithfully forms itself around the in-formation we give it. We call its faithful formations “consequences” and we call its neutrality “unconditional love”.

Many times our mind’s in-formation has been about what we fear or what we don’t prefer rather than what we desire, and so we have experienced the results of this fear, shaking our fists (a clump of matter) at the Universe and others (other clumps of matter), all the while creating a cycle of similarly formed experiences. It was mainly these doubts and fears that created the failures that we experienced.

But what is failure anyway? If the form of the Universe is not following our desire, it does not mean that our desire has failed. It must mean that there is some learning to do about some in-formation about ourselves, and this leads to the great process of growth and understanding. In actuality, it is only when we truly give up on our desires that we truly fail.

Now, many times we are negatively surprised at what the Universe has to say to us, as is the case with failures, accidents and illnesses, because we refuse to go within ourselves and find out our mind’s in-formation for ourselves. Even then, if the surprise leads us to an understanding of ourselves, isn’t that a cause for celebration rather than despondency?

Until now, most of us haven’t realized that we are the organizing principle behind the form of the experience of our lives. It is up to us and us alone to clarify how we speak to the Universe by clarifying the in-formation we are radiating, so that we may create the form of our experience along the lines of what we desire, rather than what we fear. It is up to us to learn the language of the Universe so that we can interpret its messages and speak with it clearly to create the conversation of our lives.


Our Time of Abundance

We live in a wonderful time of abundance; so much so that we now spend the majority of our time convincing others to buy our stuff or being convinced by others to buy their stuff. Every piece of advertising attests to this fact. Almost every office job attests to this fact. Every store attests to this fact. 

There’s just so much stuff being created by us; our stores are filled to the brim with all sorts of goods, so much so that they constantly reduce the prices of the goods in order to convince people to consume them.

We live in a time when we can produce more than we can consume. It’s a time when we dedicate resources to creating sprawling storage areas for our abundance of stuff, so that we can keep our homes free of it. In our time, stuff is found everywhere you turn, and more and more effort is being expended in moving it around rather than creating it.

The abundance is all around us, yet we are blind to it, acting as if there is lack. We clamour at stores to buy the stuff that’s on sale, even though we have too much already at home. We eat food like we’re going to starve, even though we’re getting more obese by the day. In the meantime there are others in other parts of the world that suffer from a lack of those very things that we are overly abundant in. Yet we continue onwards in our consumption, driven by our perception of lack.

Our actions reflect the fact that we aren’t enjoying our abundance; we are anxious about it disappearing. We are so focused on lack that we don’t take the time to take in the astounding amount of wealth we have already created. Instead of experiencing the assured joy of knowing that we already have more than everything we need, we experience the feeling of anxious lack, and we are motivated by this feeling. It’s very, very strange.

Tying this realization into the workings of the Law of Attraction, it seems to me that without creating a state of being of abundance and gratitude first, we will remain blind to the abundance we already have. We will destroy the world looking for the abundance that can only be realized with the shift in state of being. 


Passion and Purpose

Life, above all else, is the flow of passion and desire, expressing constantly. Each of us carries the energy of passion within us, and with it the potential to connect to the flow of Life. As each of us fully expresses our unique expression of the energy of passion and desire, we connect with that flow. This is why passion feels so good; it is Life giving and Life connecting.

When you are firmly and fully in your passion, you are at One with all Life, and you fit with everything else in existence. When you are in your passion, you are also automatically abundant, because you are connected to the flow of Life that brings you whatever it is that you truly require to continue to express your passion. 

The answer to “What is my purpose in Life?”, then, is simply to express your connection to Life by fully expressing your unique passion. In other words, your purpose is to be you, as fully as you can. Your purpose isn’t out there somewhere. Nobody can tell you what it is. (No, not even this post that you’re reading. I can encourage you to fulfill your purpose by following your passion, but I cannot tell you what your passion is.) Your purpose is found right here, right now. It is found in doing whatever makes you feel passionate and alive right now. If that includes reading this post, great. Read it with passion and with excitement. Understand it. Soak it in. However, if reading this post isn’t your current passion, let it go, and go do what is your passion, no matter what it looks like. 

This is Life we’re talking about here. Life is infinite possibilities with an infinite number of expressions. It’s ludicrous to think that Life can only express through University degrees, or stable 9 to 5 jobs or any other single type of expression, as our society tends to think. That’s not to say that University degrees and 9 to 5 jobs cannot be the form that someone’s passion takes, however. My point is that it’s up to each of us though, to truly decide for ourselves whether they are our passion or not. It’s time for us to loosen up our definitions on how we think we must live Life. It’s time for each of us follow our true passion with no expectations and see where the flow of Life leads us. 

The fact that I am inspired to write this post, in order to remind people to follow their passion, is a sign to me that most of us are not doing so. To me, our society is in a sad state, because we have created it to resist the flow of Life. In other words, we have created it to be a predominantly fearful society, rather than a passionate one.

The majority of the members of our society resist their passion, because they have been taught to invalidate themselves and their expressions of passion, by association. So it’s no wonder that they anxiously look instead to how others tell them to live their lives. As a result of this, many people live desperately while feeling like crap day in and day out, wondering why Life turns out the way it does. The answer, of course, is that they aren’t really living Life; they are resisting it. That’s why they feel like crap. They are afraid of following their passion, which means they are afraid of Life itself, ludicrous as that may seem. Yet it is ultimately their fear that is making them sick and killing them; not their passion. 

One of the most wonderful gifts of Life is that each of us has a direct connection to the flow of Life. It’s also equally wonderful that the expression of this connection is unique for each of us, which means there are an infinite number of ways to express this connection. Isn’t it time for each of us to acknowledge the gift of this connection by expressing our passion as fully as we can? 


As you identify with the frequency of your desire, every belief that is in the recesses of your consciousness that is not resonant with that frequency, and keeping what you desire away from your experience, comes up to be faced and integrated by you. Most people don’t enjoy the feelings of fear and doubt that this process usually brings with it, so they let go of that frequency of desire while hiding their fearful or judgemental beliefs once again and instead choose to settle for “realistic” lives. They then continue to act only on what feels comfortable, which is usually a slight variation of their current experience, rather than acting on what is truly exciting to them.
