Winds of karma

Universal intelligence has different intelligence modules through which it sends information. One of those modules is seeds, what we call karmas, which are really possible event structures. That’s the particulate aspect. Then there’s also a current, a wave, a cosmic wind that comes into your reality, into this dimension. You can be bowled over by a cosmic wind, just like a hurricane. I’m sure all of us have had things happen that just struck you and there was nothing you could do about it. That’s why I say you don’t have control, because when a cosmic wind decides to come through your house, you can’t control that. The thing to understand is that these cosmic winds that are coming at you and through you and with you have no malevolent intent. They’re not here to punish or hurt you. They’re not here to ruin your life and they’re not here to make your life. They also don’t have positive intent either. These winds are neutral.

If you’re a cave person and a wind knocks over your fire pit and you can’t eat, you may see that as a malevolent force. We’re exactly like those cave people. That’s about where we are right now in understanding reality. These winds come at us and we interpret them superstitiously as good or bad. We take them personally and we interpret them out of anxiety, fear, insecurity and our sense of helplessness about our means of control. But lack of control doesn’t have to be helplessness. When those cosmic winds come toward you, you can meet them, you can be blown over by them, or they can flow right through you. They can experience you as almost transparent or translucent. We’re talking about the climate and force of those cosmic winds moving through your heart, and the capacity of your heart to meet those winds and dance with them. Think of a tree moving in the wind, how it moves. That’s why there are trees that are here for thousands of years. Somehow they’ve managed to stay up through everything. That’s your heart. It has the capacity to move with the wind and to catch the seeds.

Silkworms of the heart

What the universe really wants from us is to give up control. It is asking us, pleading with us, actually, to give up thinking that we have control over it in any way, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. First of all, you wouldn’t want control. Think how hard it is just to control yourself. Then think about how hard it is to control your kids. And then think about how hard it is to control your money. Every time you have anything that’s attached to you and you try to control it, how well do you do? I don’t know about you, but I haven’t controlled my emotions, I haven’t controlled my thoughts. At a certain point you recognize that control is an illusion. It’s a healthy one: it gets things done in a way, but it’s still an illusion.

When you throw yourself out to the universe in the way I’m discussing, and the heart opens out and then the universe starts sending seeds back, emotional seeds, mental seeds, physical reality seeds, simultaneously past, present and future, you absolutely realize that you can’t know where all these things are going to fall in your net. You have to let go, because when all of this energy is coming your way, if you’re rigid in your control, tightly braced against what’s coming at you, it hurts. It’s like aikido, where they teach you that when someone comes at you, you have to move one way or the other so that you’re not taking the blow directly. Control stiffens you and causes you to get hurt. One aspect of invincibility is that you’re able to move with the wind. But you can’t move with the wind like a willow if you’re an oak.

The heart begins to recognize that its job is to help you have the faith and the trust to release and not seek to control, due to the anxiety of the mind. The mind is where all the insecurity is and the mind will stop the heart from flowing. When the heart recognizes and understands this, the heart has to teach you how to let go. In that process, the heart weaves its nets like a silk worm making a cocoon. The heart chakra, the physical heart and all the organs are made of infinite layers of these silky, web-like, matrices of light. That’s what your catcher’s net is made of. You’re catching those seeds in reality with your heart. Your heart is the catcher.

Cosmic tennis match

When the heart arcs out to the field of higher mind, a synthesis emerges. You get aligned and in rapport with universal intelligence. A feedback loop is created that throws back event structures at you.

Event structures are seeds of events, of possible outcomes, that the heart casts out past the mind. It’s like a tennis court and the heart is the server. It hits the ball over the net, which is the mind, but it stays in the court. And the universe meets the ball, catches that and slams it back at you. In the process of hitting it back at you, it plants seeds, which we call event structures.

These event structures are not only in the present but because spacetime is simultaneous, they are also event structures of the past, and not only this lifetime in this body, but also your soul’s past, your ancestral past, your collective consciousness past, your racial past. Those seeds that are thrown back at you are the seeds of karmas. They’re thrown back at you from the past, present and future, simultaneously. The universe doesn’t experience past, present and future. It’s all simultaneous to the universe. When the universe throws that intelligence back at you, in the form of past, present and future, you interpret what’s being thrown at you. The interpretation of the intelligence that’s thrown back at us is what we experience as reality.

You have no choice but to experience these as emotions and events. You have absolutely zero control over what gets caught in your net. I don’t know anybody who can even fathom what's in their net. It’s way too complex. It’s like a billion spider webs all stacked on one another.

Nor do I think you can fathom all those balls of seeds coming at you from the universe and informing your reality, which you are interpreting. We have feelings attached to things, and to thoughts, which are things. It’s a completely subjective interpretation.

The only way we’d be able to have control over that is that we would have to be in a state of consciousness where you could see every little hole in that net and understand it perfectly. And we would have know exactly when every little ball came our way, exactly what little hole it’s going in, and exactly what the effect of all that was. I don’t think the universe is set up for anybody to do that, at least not at this stage of our development.

Markers of original mind

To experience manifestion, you have to get outside the field of the mind. It cannot come from your head or anything you can think. When you get into the field of manifestation, you’re viewing your own mind field from outside. You see your mind as a field, full of thoughts, beliefs, and structures. We’re not going to try to eliminate that, because we never can get rid of our minds, and we’re not supposed to. But in order to get into the field of manifestation, you have to get outside of the mind completely.

How can you get outside of your own mind? Your heart has all the answers. The field of the heart, which includes love, is the closest thing we have and the most universal messaging instrument to align with universal intelligence. In fact, what is inside the heart is universal intelligence. Your heart is much wiser than your mind. However, we also know that there’s a unification between heart and mind, so we don’t ultimately eliminate the mind.

Pure mind, or what Buddhists call “original mind,” doesn’t just mean that it’s at the beginning. It means that it’s original, self-originating. At each moment there is originality or spontaneity to the higher mind. It’s not locked up in concept or belief. It is moment-to-moment self-originating; improvisational, but very structured. That level of self-originating mind is deeply aligned with universal intelligence.

When the heart aligns with that self-originating aspect of higher mind, it is outside the field of what we usually think of as the mind. There are intelligence markers on a higher level above the mind, which is what higher mind is. There are structures of intelligence that exist above, below, all around it, five-dimensional. The manifestation field that lives outside of the mind is what you’re unifying with.

Desire on the brain

Our desires are masked by our mind. We don’t know how to have a pure desire. Our dreams and visions are all concepts that we’re holding. There’s nothing wrong with having concepts, but pure desire is non-conceptual. Once you freeze it into a concept, you’re limiting the desire. It’s not a living thing anymore, and when it doesn’t have that liveliness of pure sentience. The universe treats it like a leaf that’s just fallen off the tree. It no longer has a life force attached to it. Approaching desires from the level of the mind is one of the reasons why they don’t get fulfilled.

The universe doesn’t know how to recognize concepts because our concepts and our mind aren’t functioning from a very high vibrational level. For example, if you tried to communicate with an ant, you could not do it unless your consciousness was at a very subtle level. Likely as not, you would impose some conceptual structure on that organism. This is the nature of the mind, to impose concepts. So your mind imposes concepts on your desires. This is why it’s hard for the universe to meet your demands.

It’s not the job of the universe to meet your desires. This may be controversial in the light of the popular movie The Secret, that says if you think something, your beliefs will create that reality. I don’t believe that you have a desire and the universe will manifest that. On one level, yes, if I want to pick up a book and I pick it up, I have a resonance with my desire and my will. But the universe doesn’t function from the level of your personal will or even from the level of the collective will.

When you go toward the notion of desire from this level, you have to give up your concepts of your life, what you think it should be, who you think should be in it, and what the projects are that you should be doing. You want to get out of your head because all of that actually interferes with the level of pure desires. The mind is an imposition on the heart. The mind keeps stifling and suffocating pure desires, through its own impulses of will and anxiety.

As the brain ages this happens more in some ways because a lot of anxieties start to manifest as your physical brain is dying and losing brain cells, and the symptoms are nervousness, anxieties, fears, and insecurities. In most people over 40, this mass of anxiety starts to emerge. They start to lose touch with the sense of all possibilities. When you’re young, in your 20s, anything goes, everything’s possible. But when you’re 40 or so, you start to lose your enthusiasm and pure desire. It comes from all the traumatic events that happen in your life and your brain starts to shut down. As you get older you have to get out of your brain!

View from the dream

In the manifestation process, you have a depth of cognition, coming from a subtle level of feeling, and then you translate that cognition, but not in words. Cognition is an impulse of a direction, especially when it involves manifestation. It’s beyond the level of concepts and it’s not on the level of thinking about a desire. The cognition and the translation are coming from our side, because we have to translate that feeling.

You have the cognition, the translation, and then the delivery of the impulse that results in manifestion. You have to project that, away from you, through your energy field, out about 12 to 15 feet. You’re expanding out from the physical body. The current of consciousness has to arc out. When it arcs out to a certain point, it breaks the dimensional plane like a portal and the universe can enter your dimension and meet you, and you can meet it. When you meet it, you’re both in this dimension and outside of it at the same time. It’s a simultaneous thing that’s kind of a paradox. You can see things manifesting in your dimension, but what you’re seeing is not actually what’s manifesting.

The universe doesn’t see us the way we see ourselves. How does the universe see you? What are the eyes of the universe? This is the realm in which manifestation takes place. Sages tell us that everything that’s here, in a way, is like a dream. What do they mean when they say that? Dreams have objects and people. I had a dream the other night where a gigantic horse, as long as my whole living room, was chasing my car and finally corralled it into a corner. In my reality, how would I know how to interpret that dream? The universe is an intelligence, and it interprets your reality the way you interpret your dreams. We’re its dreams. When I had this dream, I knew exactly what it was trying to say to me, and I was laughing because I understood. My inner self was speaking to me that night. Well, we are the inner self of the universe.

What the universe desires

In the process of manifestation, a current arcs out from the person towards the environment, then comes back in, amplifies, and goes back out. Over that current one can place desire, whatever that may be. The strength of manifestation and the capacity to manifest are dependent on holding that current internally and at the same time propelling it outward so that it builds on itself. Ideally the arcing process creates a feedback loop which stabilizes the current.

The idea is to have the chakra system in a state so that that desire is coming from a place within you that is truly for your highest good. If the desire is there and is sent out, and really isn’t going to be beneficial for you in the big picture of your life, perhaps you really don’t want it to be supported. Sometimes desires come out from us but we don’t really understand why they are there. Sometimes we have a desire that’s in our mind but that might not be the desire of the universe desires towards us. It’s a translation process, like we talked about with intuition, from cognition to translation to delivery. In the context of manifestation, you have a cognition of what you want, wish, or need and that has to be translated to the universe, because it doesn’t necessarily speak your language. The universe doesn’t work from a linear intelligence, so it doesn’t actually know in some ways what to do with your personal desires, because it’s organizing from a different level of principles and your personal desires may or may not fit into its puzzle. It’s impossible to know how to translate the desires that the universe has for you. I don’t think you can translate that with your mind because it’s not a mental, conceptual process to translate what the universe’s desires are for us.

Actually what it looks like is creating a situation where there’s an attunement towards what the universe’s desires are for us. The idea is to bring your consciousness to a place where it’s supported by universal intelligence. You have to uplift your desires to a state where they will come into resonance with what the universe’s desires are for you. When the universe is trying to recognize your desires, your signals have to be translated from your side and also from the side of the universe. It’s a dual translation process. From your side, you’re purifying your desires and elevating them to a state where they will be recognized by the universe.

This can’t be done on the level of the mind. This is what causes difficulties for people. It’s not on the level of thought that the desire is eventually going to emerge. It’s going to emerge into a subtle level of feeling, what we might call impulse consciousness, and it has to be translated into that fifth dimensional intelligence from your side. It’s not only that the universe is going to find your thought on a mental plane and meet that, because it doesn’t really know what to do with that. The universe is many-dimensional, and the universal intelligence encompasses all the dimensional planes. The best we can do is to elevate our desire until it becomes a subtle level of impulse. This is the principle upon which we build the notion of intuition, because it comes from that subtle level of impulse, gets translated, and then delivered.
