CONSCIOUSNESS IS ALL THERE IS TO EXISTENCE
THOUGHTS ARE ALL THERE ARE TO EXPERIENCE
A wonderfully delightful new way of living proposed by
an insighfful Jesus, by Einsteinian physics, by avant-garde
psychology, by holography, and by good common sense
According to the gospel writer, Jesus said (John 8:32) that your experience follows the nature of your thinking. Einstein was convinced, in parallel (according to his biographer, Lincoln Barnett, in The Universe and Dr. Einstein) that "the whole objective universe of matter and energy, atoms and stars, does not exist except as a construction of the consciousness ... Even space and time are forms of intuition." The modern psychologist, Stanislav Grof, wrote in The Adventure of Self-Discovery that consciousness "encompasses the totality of life on this planet, including all of humanity and the entire flora and fauna." Michael Talbot, in The Holographic Universe, wrote: "Our world and everything in it, from snowflakes to maple trees, and spinning electrons are only ghostly images ... The solid and comfortable sticks-and-stones world we all learned about in high school science class is wrong." Advancing areas of physics, biology, thermodynamics, thanatology, anthropology, and consciousness studies, fully support them. And your common sense says you know only your thoughts.
Why is this so "wonderfully delighfful"? Because it puts you in complete charge of your affairs, of your whole world of experience. As Jesus put it in his religious language: "The Father has put all things into my hands." And in the same language, the Bible's book of Genesis tells us that God gave man dominion "over all the earth."
How would you like to be in this position? You can be, beginning now! Jesus proved it when he healed the diseased and the distessed by purely mental means. He was not different from you. He was not a supernatural being able to do what you cannot. He said so himself: "The works that I do, others can do also--and greater works." He had a remarkable insight, enabling him to accept the reality of being and experience without the educational processes we have available to us. But we have a developing wisdom today that puts us in the same position of authority he was in.
Jesus sensed, rather than theoretically understood, the allness of consciousness. Otherwise he would have clearly stated the idea. He promoted the qualities of thought that enlarge the feeling of rightness. For instance, he advocated the Hebrew commandment, "love your neighbor as yourself." A totally unnecessary directive if you understand that your consciousness is all there is to your existence--because then you know you are alone with your own being and experience and that your neighbor is only another mode of your own thought. Then of course you will love him as yourself
After you put aside your initial doubts and are able to yiield happily to the common sense of the allness of consciousness, you will find the course ahead easy and gentle. You will never again feel helpless, certainly not forsaken or forlorn. You are not having to deal with people or things or circumstanes outside your control--only with your own thoughts. You will rejoice in every demand for progress, knowing that you have in your hands the answer to that demand. The Bible promise is appropriate: "Give, and it shall be given unto you, full measure, pressed down, and runnng over." You will enjoy giving to yourself as the one consciousness.-.
