The
Universal Mind
by
Peter Weisz
Genre:
Speculative Non-fiction, Spiritual, Mystical
Are
we all slaves to a gross illusion? Who are we? What is the mind, what
is consciousness and what is reality? This book offers educated
answers and explanations to all these questions and more. This book
motivates the reader to reconsider everything they think they know
about themselves and the world today, examining the different models
of creation, evolution of humanity and the universe, the essence of
matter and of life itself, exploring all manner of scientific,
theological, psychological and philosophical and metaphysical
hypotheses and offering insights into ancient mystical wisdom and the
road to enlightenment. Can it be, that this complex, living,
breathing, sophisticated, opinionated, creative and conscious entity
that we call human, is made up merely from a few invisible atoms of
nothingness? We are not simply made from flesh and blood - we are
beings of an infinity of dimensions, too vast to contemplate, but our
brains and our senses are only able to perceive that which is rooted
in matter, for that is the substance from which we believe we are
made. What we call reality, is most definitely not what it appears to
be.
Your discussions and arguments regarding evolution or creation serve only to fuel your separation. You need not take one side or the other for it is clear and certain that both are true, and that evolution exists as a creation. Man did not appear in a sudden whiff of magician’s smoke but has developed from the basic movement of minerals and matter that has been brought into being from the Universal Mind. The consciousness of instinct alone is not enough to be able to experience the Universal Mind and therefore you evolved from the movement to the proton to the atom to the molecule to the cell and then to the moulds and bacteria, then to the instinctual beings on the level of insects, and then to the higher beings who make choices and then ultimately to the human existence which gives you the first freedom to question your own being and existence and ultimately to reconnect with the Universal Mind. This is the progression of consciousness in matter. But you still argue amongst yourselves, the scientists attempting to prove the theologians wrong, and the theologians and preachers translating words from ancient texts, infusing them with their own meanings and expounding them as facts to vilify the scientists and satisfy their own cravings for knowledge, personal satisfaction and power. But both speak only of the nonsense that their muddled brains construct in an effort to make sense of their own trivial, unsatisfactory and puerile existences. They are all lost in the quagmire of their own convoluted calculations or feeble notions and false guarantees, wasting their time and energies in endless arguments and wars, each trying to prove the other wrong. I say to you; do not seek proof, for proof is not truth - and one proof will always be dissolved in the light of a newer proof, therefore rendering all proofs nothing more than temporary falsehoods.”

THE
POWER OF MIND AND THOUGHT
Every
minute of every day, your body is physically reacting, literally
changing, in response to the thoughts that run through your mind.
It’s been proven over and over again that just thinking about
something causes your brain to release neurotransmitters - chemical
messengers that allow it to communicate with parts of itself and the
rest of your body through your nervous system. Neurotransmitters
control virtually all of your body’s functions, including hormone
production, digestion, heartrate, muscle function, glandular activity
and particularly, emotions.
Scientific
studies have shown that thoughts alone can improve vision,
fitness, and strength. The placebo effect, as observed with fake
operations and sham drugs, for example, works because of the power of
thought. Positive affirmations and expectancies have been shown
to change brain chemistry and circuitry which results in
real physiological and cognitive outcomes, such as less fatigue,
better immune system reaction, normal sleep patterns, and reduced
anxiety and stress amongst other things.
A
sizable body of research exploring the nature of consciousness,
carried on for more than thirty years in prestigious scientific
institutions around the world, shows that thoughts are capable of
affecting everything from the simplest organisms to the most complex
living beings. A thought is not only a thing; a thought is a
thing that influences other things. Thoughts
and deep intentions are vibrations which interact with and affect
other vibrations which make up the material particles and substance
of our universe.
It’s
been well documented that directed thoughts can affect a person’s
own body in numerous ways. But thoughts have also been shown to
alter some biological processes in another
person, including gross motor movements, and those of the heart, eye,
brain and respiratory system. Researchers have demonstrated
that deep human
intention can
affect a variety of other living systems such as bacteria, mice, cats
and dogs and even the direction in which fish swim.
Such
evidence is the basis for some belief systems made popular by the
non-physical Law of Attraction (LOA). All too often, this
concept has been exploited in books, promising anyone that they can
get rich and famous, find the person of their dreams, or get skinny
instantly and effortlessly just by thinking the right thoughts.
All you have to do is visualize it, and it will happen. However, it’s
not quite that simple or direct.
Let’s
assume for a minute that there is some truth to the concept. If you
are constantly thinking about how you don’t have enough money
and all the bills are piling up, how do you think these thoughts are
going to influence your reality if they do even a little bit?
If you worry unrelentingly about getting cancer and freak out at
every little thing, what kind of energy are these thoughts emitting
and subjecting your body to? Conversely, if money is tight, but you
concentrate on your competence to find solutions, and focus on
gratitude for things that you do have in your life, how is this going
to influence your reality?
Worry
has become seen as normal, usual, and even an unavoidable part of
life. In my own experience, not worrying felt so foreign to me
at first, I would actually search for things to worry about. This is
not to say that there are never things in life that cause anxiety,
but focusing on the solutions to problems is for more affirmative
than living in and dwelling on the problem itself.
It
has now been proven beyond doubt, that stress is the main cause of a
number of physical illnesses, such as allergic conditions e.g. asthma
or ecxma, fibromyalgia, migraine, heart problems, gastric ulcers and
other intestinal complaints, nervous system complications
(neuropathy), panic attacks or full-blown epilepsy and even certain
types of cancer.
The
lesson to be learnt here is this: Understand how to control your mind
and thoughts, in order to improve your life and your physical health.
