The Youniverse

The progress of humankind has essentially been one of integration. Over time, we have been integrating ourselves through various stages starting from individuals, to families, to tribes, to cities, to countries, to religions and races, to continents and now we have reached the point of beginning to integrate as one world.

The energy that manifests all aspects of our experience has been moving towards integration in an ever accelerative manner, and this can be seen all around us in our world. However, this process of integration is most brilliantly illustrated by the progress of technology. Our technology has broken down so many barriers, both physical and ideological, that used to separate us, and has intertwined our lives so completely that we can no longer truly separate our experiences from one another and live in our little bubbles. When one part of our world suffers, the rest of us feel it. When another part of our world is jubilant, the rest of us also feel that joy. We are more connected than we have ever been and we are growing more and more connected as the days go by.

Now, we have reached a point in our progress where many old systems, still based largely on separation and disintegration, are teetering on the brink of collapse. This can readily be seen in our economy. The efforts of the authorities to avoid the collapse and boost the economy have failed because they do not realize that the system cannot stand under the stress of the creative energy of integration. The energy will always prevail because there is so much momentum behind it and because it is the actual energy that gives birth to our experience. Many other systems based on separation will also be feeling the effects of this integrating energy soon. The most prevalent of these systems is religion, government, and the military.

Religion will feel it as people realize that the God we have searched for is actually not “out there” somewhere, but is right here. God is the universe and everything in it. We will be integrating ourselves as pieces of God rather than a separation from God.

Governments will feel it as people integrate themselves and realize that we are our governments and that we have the power to shape “them” through our everyday actions. An authoritative government thrives on perceived separation and this perception can no longer hold. Therefore, the governments will take on a less authoritative stance and more of an integrative one in which they truly serve the people.

A military is very obviously based on separation and perceived threats. An integrative world obviously cannot give birth to militaries. I don’t think this needs much more clarification, does it?

On another note, the rise of quantum physics and information such as The Secret and the Law of Attraction are also symtoms of this process of integration. The information reveals that the perspective of separation we have held for so long is illusory and that the reality we thought was outside us is actually a part of us. The information states that we create our reality and this can only be possible if there is no separation between us and it. Otherwise, what would we create our reality out of? It’s not like we can go to the hardware store and get some reality creation tools and magically put it together with something we don’t already contain. Reality is made of us. 

Once we realize reality is made of us, the next question most of us will ask is, who or what are we? We cannot merely be bodies of flesh if reality is actually made of us. Our bodies exist within reality, not the other way around. I believe this path of questioning and discovery will lead us to more integration as we no longer identify with our bodies alone, but rather see ourselves as energy or consciousness itself. This ties in nicely with being integrated with God.

Lastly, once our world is integrated as one I believe we will expand our reality so that it includes other worlds and beings from other worlds. We will explore the rest of the universe that we are, integrating larger and larger portions of ourselves, until we reach what we have called God, which is the one integrated being, containing everything in existence. This won’t be the end though, since we cannot cease to exist, we must continue the process of integration forever. We are infinite, existence is infinite, and God is infinite. There will never be an end. 

Does anybody else find it weird that Science implies through its findings that life on Earth is some sort of extraneous random occurrence or that the Universe itself is extraneous and pointless? That’s also what Science would have us believe about each of us. We are all to believe that we are extraneous, pointless creatures who’s sole purpose is to fit in and be strong in order to survive and pass on our genes to the next generation.

The result of this thinking is that we now have so many people trying to fit in to the world because they believe themselves to be extraneous. They believe now that their natural self, that is the self that they uniquely are with their unique perspective does not fit and is extra. They believe they are to conform to the world. Taken further, the next logical step in this line of thinking is that since the natural self is extraneous, this must mean that it is also worthless. So because of this line of thinking these people go through life trying to find meaning, trying to make a difference so that they can find themselves to be valuable. Many go out of their way to help others, many also get married and have children so that they may feel that they made a difference to somebody’s life. The world may not care about their existence, the thinking goes, but at least these people they helped or their spouse or children will care to think about them after they’re gone, giving them some sort of value.

Now, I’m not saying that people shouldn’t help others or that they shouldn’t get married and have children. I’m just saying that people should realize that they are not extraneous, that they belong in the world as their natural self, that they do not need to do anything special in order to fit in and make a difference in the world. They should understand that they will never have more of an impact on the world than they already have just by their mere existence. Then, coming from this perspective of self-valuation, all actions will be based on enjoyment rather than on finding self-validation. Getting married and having children would simply be acts of enjoyment rather than sources of validation. Nobody would go out of their way and take on a great deal of responsibility in order to help another; they would realize that they’re helping in their own way automatically by being their natural selves. 

So the point of all this is to stop viewing ourselves as extraneous. We must stop trying to fit into the Universe. We belong as we are. Anybody saying otherwise doesn’t know what they’re saying. If what they’re saying is true and we don’t fit as we are, then nothing fits. If we are extraneous and pointless then the whole Universe is extraneous and its existence is also pointless. The proof that you and I belong is that we are already here. WE are already here. Not someone else, not some person we are supposed to be. WE are here as we are because we belong as we are. Our existence is not dependent on being some perfect version of ourselves that God or society wants us to be. Our existence is a gift given freely to do with what we please. We exist to be ourselves. It is as simple as that. Accept that fact and accept yourself completely. Be yourself fully and experience the magic of seeing how you fit into the grand scheme of things in life. It doesn’t mean you cannot change. You will always keep changing, but within each change you will still be yourself, you will just be a different representation of yourself.

If we live our lives as our natural selves, taking for granted that we belong, I believe we will see the evidence of how our existence automatically compliments others’ existence and how everyone fits into a sort of integrated, supportive tapestry that benefits all. Remember, a cohesive society is not built on conformity of all its individuals to a certain ideal, but rather is built of a network of strong individuals being themselves and automatically helping others be themselves. 

It really is all about being yourself. After years of studying and exploring these metaphysical concepts I have now come full circle back to myself. I now realize that it was never about searching for anything, it was simply about being who I really am. 

Being yourself is the simplest way to live life. There is nothing easier than being who you really are. Many times, when exploring metaphysical subject matter, I have heard about following your excitement or joy, about changing beliefs that are out of alignment with who you are, about raising your vibration and so on and so forth, but all of these methodologies are all really just another way of saying “be yourself”. 

Here’s my explanation about why being yourself is so important. When you are yourself you are content, happy and at peace with your life. It is simply an effortless blissful feeling. That feeling is your point of attraction to all that you desire, including all the support and love you could ever need or want, in any and all forms. Law of Attraction is about like vibration attracting like vibration. So when you are vibrating at your natural state of being, you attract the type of reality that allows you to continue being your natural self. It can really be that simple.

However, I know I have gotten caught up in my old way of thinking many times, where I would tell myself to get excited and force myself to do “exciting” things so that I could get the things I want. This didn’t work and in fact kept the things I desired (and still desire) away from me. Why? The reason is because I had resistance and I was forcing myself to behave in a certain way in order to get what I desired. I wasn’t really being myself. You don’t have to do anything extraordinary to be yourself, even things that may seem ordinary to you can lead you to extraordinary experiences.

Now that I look back at some interesting points in my life using my new perspective, I can see how simply being myself allowed me to experience some wonderful things in my life in a magical, surprising and effortless manner. Here’s an example: One summer night a couple of years ago, I decided to go for a drive with my wife near the outskirts of my city. While we were driving along on a favourite road of mine something caught my attention by the side of the road. We stopped to check it out and found a mange infested rabbit just sitting there. Being animal lovers we took him home and got him veterinary attention, where we found out that his teeth were misaligned and he had a hard time eating. He was in pretty bad shape, but after some medication and loving care, he made a full recovery from his mange, got his teeth trimmed and gained some weight. We now have a very sweet pet bunny who we named Russell. He still gets his teeth trimmed once a month, but other than that he has been the perfect little pet.

Now, a couple of things stick out for me about that experience. One: I went for the drive simply for the joy of it, with no other motivation behind it. In other words I was just being myself, and two: finding Russell was completely unexpected, but still very pleasing. This type of experience is what metaphysical teachers call positive synchronicity. Positive synchronicity occurs when you are at the right place at the right time to experience a joyful experience, which we usually call a miraculous coincidence. Conversely, negative synchronicity is when you are at the wrong place at the wrong time, which we usually call disasters or tragedies. I have had many other synchronous experiences, mostly positive, but some negative. I will probably talk more about these in other posts or in another blog I am considering.

I have now come to the realization that everything is synchronicity, it is just a matter of whether it is positive synchronicity or negative synchronicity. The sole determining factor of whether you experience positive or negative synchronicity is your state of being. In a nutshell, this is why being yourself is very important for how you experience your life.

Simply being yourself is enough to create many miraculous experiences. Because you are being yourself, you will be doing only those things that excite you the most, when they excite you the most and where they excite you the most. You will automatically be in the right place at the right time to experience the type of life you prefer to experience. It really isn’t important where you are physically, but where you are vibrationally, because where you are vibrationally will automatically attract you to where you need to be physically in perfect timing. 

So let go of all the beliefs, expectations, and other burdens that are not allowing you to be yourself. You got these burdens from other people who were judging you when they had no business judging you. By you carrying them around you continue to judge yourself. Stop invalidating who you are and simply live your life in the way you prefer. You will be your natural self and you will see that you fit in the universe, exactly as you are. You will be being your natural shape so that you can fit into the unique space designed for little old you in the giant puzzle that is the universe.

Life works flawlessly for everyone, no exceptions. It only gives a reflection of what we believe ourselves to be. It holds nothing back. The only reason it appears to be holding something back is because of our limited definitions of Who We Are. Expanding these definitions will generate an expansion in the reflection of life just as flawlessly as ever.

Taking abundance to be an example, it is not that a poor person is not abundant. It is that they are abundant enough to fulfill their idea of themselves as a poor person. If and when they change their idea of themselves into one of a wealthy person, they will just as flawlessly attract enough abundance to fulfill that new idea. The main issue for the poor person is that they may not even know that they can change the idea of themselves or that life will support them. They usually assume that life is just the way it is, regardless of how they view it or themselves. 

We ALWAYS get enough to fulfill the idea we are being. If we are being the idea of a sick person, we will attract the circumstances and situations to fulfill that idea as well. It is not that we are malfunctioning when we are sick, but rather that we are flawlessly functioning as a sick person. 

So far, we have been living the idea of being separate from reality and life. This is basically being the idea of a victim of life or gods or some other external force. This idea brings with it much fear, confusion and suffering so as to maintain the idea of being victimized by an external reality. What we are now realizing is that reality is not “out there”. It is simply a reflection and an expression of ourselves. Our reality is symbolic of interactions going on within our being, within our consciousness. There is nothing to fear in the reflection except ourselves. 

The next step in our evolution is to actually BE the reality we thought we lived in. We will be able to make connections between our internal beliefs and our external experience, seeing how our life has always and will always work flawlessly for us. We will see ourselves as the key that will unlock us from what we thought of as the prison of life, which was seemingly imposed on us by others. 

It is not a matter of wanting to change your life. Your life is changing every single moment. You just don’t notice it because the changes are so subtle, but nevertheless it is changing effortlessly. All there is to do is accept this fact and then have your say about how you want your life to change. Do you want it to be similar? Do you want it to be drastically different? It is ultimately your say so take control by choosing how your life will unfold. Don’t wait for permission from life before you choose because that permission will never come. By the way, where do you think the permission comes from anyways? It’s your life, so really the permission will come from you and end up returning to you. 

So how do you choose? Simple. It all has to do with your state of being. Your state of being determines what you next experience in your life. It is like a magnet that attracts only those experiences that are resonating with that state, out of an infinite number of probable experiences. So pay attention and choose the state you prefer. Do those things in life which bring forth your preferred state of being. This isn’t some fairy tale bullshit. This is how reality and life works. If you read my past posts you will see how existence contains all possibilities, but it is up to us which of these possibilities we choose to experience. Life really can be this simple if we allow it to be. 

Every moment is a completely new moment and a new opportunity to decide what type of life you want to experience. Indeed, there is nothing else to do. So decide, because life is always anticipating your choice.

Can we separate our identity from experience? Most people believe that their identity exists within their body, and so they believe they are living in a world that exists separate from them. However, when you really think about it, can we even have a body to identify ourselves with without the universe to serve as a background to provide context? Can I exist as an “I” without some form of reality for me to experience?

When you really think about it, the only way we know we exist is because of the fact that we are experiencing existence. That awareness of existence is dependent upon experience, which is dependent upon some sort of reality. So in essence, can it not be said that experience itself, that the reality we thought we exist within is actually our true identity and that we are perceiving this identity through a localized perspective, which is our body?

Taking this thought further, we can say that we are existence itself, experiencing itself through a localized perspective. Now, I believe that all this reality creation stuff is based on the idea that if we change our perspective, we create a new experience of ourselves. This is why all the messages out there, stuff like the Secret, say that belief creates our experiential reality.

Now, in our experience as human beings, we have created the experience of a high degree of separation between our localized perspective and our reality. This experience of separation has been so convincing that we now believe that our identity exists within our bodies and that as a result we have no control over our reality.

-Jumping to another corresponding idea here: My understanding is that in each moment of our experience we are asking ourselves “Who am I?” and then based on our answers, which are based on our beliefs and definitions, we change the shape of our experience effortlessly. It is our state of being that changes our identity and our experience by association. The moment we believe this and act in accordance with this belief is the moment that life will change dramatically and magically. 

-All of these posts in this blog are leading up to a point in my life where I will take the leap and really live these ideas fully. These ideas have been rattling around in my head for quite a while now and I’ve been working out many of the questions that arise, either through reading, discussing with family or writing the answers that seem to arise from within me. So my message to any readers who are exploring these ideas is to feed your curiosity by questioning the aspects you don’t understand and then finding the answers in whatever way works for you. Whatever you do, DON’T just accept everything without questioning. It is through your unique questions and the resulting unique answers that you will get your own type of grasp on the information. You will get what you need to get so that you can be who you really want to be. Trust me, this has not failed me yet. I have always found answers to my questions. Peace :)

Most of our issues in life come from a misunderstanding of who we are. For almost all of human history we have believed that our identity exists within our bodies, either temporarily or permanently, depending on whether one sided with a scientific or religious viewpoint.

Under this perspective we are seen to be fragile, separated and at the mercy of our fellow human beings, our environment and/or the gods. Because our identity is restricted by our bodies, we are told that we must struggle to attain value and build a desirable identity, usually by accumulating as much knowledge (represented by degrees usually), wealth, beauty or some other external symbol of validation. 

Sure, this perspective was not unfounded because one could see the evidence everywhere. Hopefully you, dear reader, will understand why this was the case by reading past posts or by reading the rest of this one. Much of life did not make sense so we formed our stories and perspective based largely upon assumptions. This perspective has led us on a path of deep pain and suffering up to this point, where some of us are starting to realize that we have been disillusioned. 

So what is the truth then? Well, it has been staring us in the face this entire time, but our illusory reality was and still is so convincing that we could not recognize it. I have said it before in this blog many times. The truth is that we are beings of pure consciousness that are actually creating the experience called “life as a human being” through our beliefs and definitions. I won’t dive into things too deeply here, mainly because I have mentioned many of my points in previous points, but it is becoming increasingly clear to me that we are primarily beings of consciousness, not the physical human beings we have thought of ourselves as.

As conscious beings we contain any and all possible experiences. We literally contain it all. All the experiences we have ever had and will ever have will come about through our consciousness. It is also through our consciousness that we create our entire experience of life. That’s right, we create the entire universe and everything within it. It is all within our consciousness. All this time we have thought that we are experiencing some universe that we just happen to live in, but the truth is that we are actually only experiencing ourselves. There is no outside; there is only our consciousness. 

Think about how powerful we truly are. It is our own consciousness, our own being, our own power that gives rise to the entire fucking universe! Let that sink in for a moment. We cannot separate the universe from our consciousness. It is all us. Realizing this, we can stop looking at the universe as something other than ourselves. This is the truth that shall set us free from all of the illusions we have prisoned ourselves within.

Now, what does that mean? How does seeing ourselves as conscious beings creating our experience rather than human beings reacting to our experience change our understanding of life? The main aspect of our experience that will change is our understanding of victimhood. When we perceive ourselves as the creators of our reality we cannot help but take responsibility for everything occurring within it. We cease being passive victims of life and become proactive creators of it. Now, this may not make sense because of the wide variety of experiences within our reality, but this is a product of a belief in separation between ourselves and our reality. The perspective in which our identity exists within our bodies creates the illusion of a separate reality, which by definition must appear separate. If our reality was a one-to-one reflection of our beliefs we would quickly realize that we are our reality and the experience of separation would be over. In order for the experience to continue the reality must seem mysterious and somewhat chaotic.

However, we are now realizing that our reality is not separate and this will faithfully be reflected within it. The main way this reflection occurs is through the experience of synchronicity or coincidence. Coincidence is simply an indicator that we are the orchestrators of our lives. So far, in our experience as human beings, we have created more negative coincidences rather than positive ones, mainly because of our misguided perspective of ourselves and of life. Nevertheless, both negative and positive coincidence provide clues to the true nature of life.

Realizing the true nature of our being can allow us to change many other aspects of our lives as well. As beings of consciousness we are infinite and eternal, unbounded from many of the boundaries of our space time reality. Knowing this will dissolve almost all of the fear we have been holding on to when under the illusion of separation. What is there to fear when there is nothing else out there to be afraid of? There is only us and so we are the creators of the fearful situations. We also have the power and capability to create loving and joyful situations as well and we will when we truly understand how life works. By understanding our nature we can truly live in the moment, basking in our own being, knowing that we are perfect in each moment because we contain everything. We can choose what we wish to experience next in our lives rather than thinking that life will tell us what we must experience. We can stop reaching for what seems to be out there and simply choose it because we know it’s in here. To put it succinctly, we can truly live a life of bliss and ecstasy.

I know some may be thinking that this kind of life can be boring, but this doesn’t have to be the case. Remember that we are infinite. By definition we will be experiencing ourselves through the creation of our reality forever. It is a game that cannot end, because if it did then we wouldn’t be conscious and there is no way for that to ever occur. Even the concept of unconsciousness only occurs within consciousness, not outside it. 

We are starting the end of experiencing the aspects of ourselves that have forgotten who we are. We have experienced the experience of forgetting our nature. It has been a tough and arduous journey, but the remembrance that is occurring right now is so worth it. It is an incredible experience to remember who we truly are after all of the darkness and I can’t help but smile when thinking back just a few years ago when I was completely unaware of all of this. I know it may sound corny, but it almost brings me to tears of joy thinking about how amazing life is. My appreciation for it, for everyone in it and for my self just keeps on growing.
