*Chapter 6 - Experiencing Infinity*
*Day 25*
The really brave ones see that one Consciousness, that Divine Consciousness, the Spirit is in all the people, expressing itself in various different forms and different ways.
It is like watching a movie. For the man behind the projector, it is just a reel that goes on one single light. He puts on the lamp behind the projector, and the film runs.
The light that is being projected on the screen its just one light passing through different imprinted characters on the film and it is being projected on the screen.
If that light is off then the whole film is finished. There is no hero no heroine no villain nothing. The same light is a hero and is a heroine, and is depicted on the screen as different characters, as Mickey mouse as lion and so on.
But behind that is only one beam of light, which passes through the film and appears to be many on the screen. When the film is finished you only see the one bright light on the screen, but when the film runs, you think that is reality.
The brave one can see that, "This person is this way" That person is that way" is all just a play and display of consciousness and recognizes that one consciousness, which appears to be perfect somewhere, really not perfect somewhere else.
So it is all made up off one Being, one field of energy. One who focuses on this and understands this deep within, crosses over this world of death to immortality. Nothing whatsoever can shake him or her.
Ephemeral happenings do not touch the one who is connected to the universal energy. So, from you projecting your mind onto everybody, you see everybody is a projection of that one consciousness.
This is the journey of life from ignorance to enlightenment. In ignorance you project your emotions on others. You are angry at everybody and you think that other is angry at you.
You have an ego and you think that the other has an ego, and you are negative and you think that others are negative. You don't respect people and you think others don't respect you.
You don't love others and you think that others don't love you. You are projecting your mind onto others. This is ignorance. See the whole universe as a projection of one consciousness.
It is not an individual who is doing this or that. It is all a play and display of the universal phenomenon where everyone is like a rag doll, knowing this is enlightenment.
You have to do this right here. Otherwise, when you die whatever memory you take and whatever aversions, hatred or cravings you harbour within you are going to carry that with you, and it is a great loss to you.
You are missing this mind which is meant to experience infinity. Instead of getting the infinity ingrained in the finite mind, you are putting the mind in the mud.
"That person said this thing to me. They are good. He is bad. This is not right. That is right," and so on. All this stuff in your head is not worth carrying.
They may be imperfect. Let them be on their own but you spoil yourself when you carry that in your head. I am not saying that you have to be goody goody saying everything is okay when things are not okay.
There are two levels of truth: one is Adhyatma and another is Vyavahara. Vyavahara means the practical day to day dealings. You cannot have a rotten apple and say, “Oh, this apple is so good. Maybe God has created it this way”.
You need to throw it in the waste bin. That is practical. But not seeing beyond that, you loose a lot. You loose everything. Is the greatest of losses is when you don't realize this.
