Regarding a meditation I experienced a few nights ago.
Manifestation is the actualization of potential. Potential, as it exists in the so-called ‘quantum realm’, is infinite. Actualization is what is observable in the material world.
When one realizes the infinity of their being, and that this infinity is experiencing itself as, or through a body, the infinite potential of the individual may be explored. The full potential of a lifetime is somewhere in between, finite and infinite. It is profound.
With a little inspiration, one may connect to this potential. Recognize that there is a version of your life where you are playing for a massive crowd, speaking to the UN, or riding in a spaceship. You must believe that, given the right set of circumstances and choices, you are actually capable of accomplishing these things. Envision it. Allow your heart to explore. Run wild with the coolest possibilities and let the visions come.
In this meditation, I ended up at a profound sense of cosmic loneliness. This loneliness gave way to the recognition that I AM the only one in existence, and that this material world is imagination, a passing dream. But then I also recognized that this lonesome cosmic being is what is alive in ever other human, plant and cloud. Anyone else could be in the same meditation and would have the same experience of cosmic loneliness. So, while I am cosmically alone, this Universe isn’t the imagination of the particular form (body) I am experiencing reality through. The ‘dream’ could just as well be ‘collapsed’ through the consciousness of any of my friends. They can all meditate and arrive at the same space. This form I AM riding in is just a form, just one of many forms, and they are all so beautiful, and this form can’t meditate and collapse the Material Universe all by itself because the other forms around me are holding it in place.
It does not, however, change the imaginary nature of this realm. It is a dream held in place by multiplicity.
If there were only one projector onto the screen, that projector could turn the movie off, filter the light. But, if there are other projectors, so the movie will go on. Now, if the projectors are projecting each other, one projector being the projection of the other and vice versa, they can be understood as unreal, but their existence creates paradox and demands the existence of a subtler, higher reality which underpins them both. A transparent screen where both projectors are reflections on the glass and nothing more. Only the double-sided screen is real – or both projectors are made of light and the screen does not exist.
Anyway. Potential > Actualization > Infinity. You are the Holy Grail. You are the Philosopher’s stone. You are the One. You are the Creator of your Reality, along with your fellows, and you are all creating together. Who you are surrounded with will determine the quality of your material experience. Nothing is outside of God, of the One. No one is not an embodiment of the Creator, no matter what they are doing, no matter how deluded.
We are all here to learn lessons. Even those you can’t stand. So, do it all the way! See what comes of it! If you think there is anything to be achieved in matter, you are deluded, but go for it! Taste the fruits of your achievement. The rest of us will be out here, in a regenerative village, enjoying the dynamics of thought, presence, and planetary-cosmic equilibrium.
