The 3rd secret: We live in a mental world
ОглавлениеThe universe is actually a vast intelligence whose purpose is to constantly translate thoughts and ideas into what we call reality. Many religions or philosophies have set out the secret of universal intelligence—that mind is always dominant over matter, even in the first ever creation process.
The word ‘mind’ is often used to describe this intelligence, but this can be misleading, because it causes many people to believe that it is enough to think consciously about what they want, while, in fact, the process is more subtle than that, as you will see in Step 4: Take charge of your thoughts.
‘In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.’
GENESIS 1:1-2
‘God’ referred to in the Christian tradition can also be referred to as the cosmic or universal intelligence. The universe is created and constantly recreated by this intelligence. In fact, this intelligence exists within every atom of the universe and every cell of our body. Without this intelligence, as it says in Genesis, there is simply a void. The form or physical matter of the world is only created because of the power of the universal mind. You don’t have to believe in God or a particular religion for this to work. You just have to allow for the possibility that it will—and be pleasantly surprised when it does.
How does the process of creating something from nothing work?
Before anything exists there is nothing—only a void in which no shape or form exists
A thought or idea of something penetrates the void
As soon as this happens, the idea can be made manifest—into a real living object, person, or event in our physical world
Because thought guides the universe, energy is directed to whatever the mind focuses on and becomes manifest as a reality.
Everything that currently exists in the world first existed in the cosmic mind as an idea before it existed in physical form—you, the work you do, the place you live, the money you earn, the person and people you love, the plants, the trees, the whole country.
