The entirety of the eternal movie shall play perfectly, exactly according to YOU. YOU alone as there is neither anything nor anyone but YOU. The audience, director, producer, cast and the story is all YOU. Laugh at the absurdity that anything could ever be out of place, even for an instant. This perfection is immediate, intimate and all-consuming. There is no scene that's excluded from being played. No one other than YOU is included as an independent authority to negotiate with. Everything is because of YOU. The extent of freedom YOUR will exercises is incomprehensibly overwhelming. YOU know at all times exactly what to do, why to do, where to do, when to do, how to do! YOUR omnipresence and omnipotence is undeniable, unquestionable. And yet, YOU are indescribable. Ah, the beauty of this paradox!

Whatever imperfection the scene in front of you may suggest, it is illusory for it is known without a shadow of a doubt that YOU are infinitely, incomparably more and better than whatever it suggests. The scene shall play out confusing the limited, habituated mind with all its might before it dissolves unto YOU only making it perfectly clear the already perfect clarity of YOUR perfection! What could the illusion do at best? Confuse the illusory mind for a while! Can it take away YOUR perfection, YOUR authority, YOUR freedom? Pfft. The light that YOU are illuminates even this illusion through and through. It shall melt and fade as if it never was for it truly never was. All shall be left is YOU and the boundless throne YOU grace and the magnificent playground that YOU are for the continuation of the divine play as if some non-existent glitch never happened.

you say "i affirm and persist but...".

you say it has to change.

you say 3d's ur bitch.

you say it has to prove something to you.

but the moment you recognize the law of being, that whole structure starts collapsing.

being isn’t a technique.

being isn’t affirming 24/7.

being isn’t forcing yourself to feel a certain way.

being is simply existing.

you are already being.

and if awareness is all there is, then where exactly is this separate physical reality everyone is fighting with?

where is the distance?

where is the delay?

where is the lack?

the mind creates a problem, then spends years trying to solve it.

awareness simply is.

in Autobiography of a Yogi, Yogananda describes Sri Yukteswar seemingly manifesting an orange out of thin air while they were talking, as if it just appeared with no obvious physical cause, and everyone treated it as something completely normal.

people are fascinated by that story and understandably so. it immediately pulls attention toward the idea of physical reality bending, of something “impossible” becoming possible.

but the moment we focus on whether the orange became physically real, we miss something else entirely.

why is the orange in imagination considered less “manifested” than the orange in a hand?

when you picture an orange vividly, it appears in experience. when you hold an orange physically, it also appears in experience. both are known in the same place: awareness.

the difference is not in the appearing, but in how we’ve been conditioned to label it. one is called “imaginary,” the other “physical,” and we assign reality accordingly.

so when people ask whether it’s possible to manifest a physical orange, i find a different question more interesting: why do we dismiss the orange that has already appeared in imagination?

if consciousness is where all experience is known, then both oranges are already manifestations within it. one is simply interpreted differently.

experience is experience no matter the form.

“Yesterday,” I was driving for over 40 minutes to pick up my little sister, and it started POURING down on the drive there. I mean, it was raining cats and dogs! Thunder. Lightning. Dark and gloomy sky. The whole nine. The rain was coming down so hard that I considered pulling over to wait it out, since I was already having to drive slowly because I could barely see the road. But then, I had a remembrance. I recognized that experience wasn't happening to "me" — I was the one observing it as Source/Awareness/All That Is, therefore I could choose to be aware of another experience to project. So in that moment, I became aware of the rain slowing down, and it did. But then after it slowed down, I realized I actually wanted it to stop completely, so I became aware of the rain stopping and the sun shining...and it did. The rain stopped, the sky was blue again, and the sun was shining. I was focused on getting to my destination safely so I wasn't paying attention to the time, but all of this happened in the span of what I think was less than 10 minutes.

I didn't sit there and repeatedly affirm that the rain had stopped...to try and make it happen. I just knew that there was no separation between what "I" was seeing and seemingly experiencing through the senses and what I had chosen to be aware of. Even when it appeared that the stormy weather was still persisting, I stayed in the knowing that the rain had stopped and the sun was shining. I didn't necessarily feel powerful either for "controlling" the weather. It was actually quite mundane, because when you know yourself as reality and existence itself, no circumstance is bigger than the other.

things can happen, moods shift, circumstances pop up, and for a second the mind reacts like it’s all serious and fixed. but when you actually look closely, nothing really stays the same.

a “problem” appears, then changes form.

a feeling hits, then passes.

something that felt intense yesterday can feel completely different tomorrow.

it’s all just experience moving.

and in the middle of it, there’s this quiet awareness that’s just noticing it all without getting pulled into the drama of it.

and what’s even more interesting is this idea that your “reality” isn’t fully rigid either.

you can customize your appearance, change your world, adjust the settings, add new creations, switch up the story, even install “mods” that completely shift how the game feels, and even use cheats that let you bypass limitations and play however you want!

life feels similar in the sense that attention, belief, and imagination completely change how experience shows up. when you focus differently, when you see differently, when you feel differently… the whole “world” feels different too.

so even when life seems intense or fixed, it’s still unfolding moment by moment in awareness like something being experienced, adjusted, and reinterpreted as you go.

and somehow, you’re not just inside the experience

“the mind cannot give the ultimate answer because it is part of the ego, part of our limitation.” - lester levenson

The only thing you know for sure is: 'here and now, I am'. Remove the 'here and now', the 'I am' remains, indisputable. The world exists in memory, memory comes into consciousness; consciousness exists in awareness and awareness is the reflection of the light on the waters of existence.

Assert your independence in thought and action. After all, all hangs on your faith in yourself, on the conviction that what you see and hear, think and feel is real. Why not question your faith? No doubt, this world is painted by you on the screen of consciousness and is entirely your own private world. Only your sense 'I am', though in the world, is not of the world. By no effort of logic or imagination can you change the 'I am' into 'I am not', in the very denial of your being you assert it. What can be denied though, is everything else, which means that it isn't! Once you realize that the world is your own projection, you are free of it. You need not free yourself of a world that does not exist, except in your own imagination!

However is the picture, beautiful or ugly, you are painting it and you are not bound by it. Realise that there is nobody to force it on you, that it is due to the habit of taking the imaginary to be real. See the Imaginary as imaginary and be free of fear.

The world is caused by you but you are not the world. Realize that every mode of perception is subjective, that what is seen or heard, touched or smelt, felt or thought, expected or imagined, is in the mind and not in reality, and you will experience peace and freedom from fear.

The main point to grasp is that you have projected onto yourself a world of your own imagination, based on memories, on desires and fears, and that you have imprisoned yourself in it.

Break the spell and be free -`♡´-

You are fighting shadows. You are wasting your time.

You are nothing, have nothing, can do nothing. Yet all comes out of you — the source is you; the root, the origin is you.

Everything you see and experience is only a mental condition, a dream-like state, easy to dispel by questioning its reality. It's you imagining it as real and fighting it with all your might that keeps it alive.

Both sleep and waking are imagined. In the waking state the world emerges because you are conscious of there being one. We are only dreaming. We dream that we are awake, we dream that we are asleep. Treat everything as such and be liberated. As long as you give reality to dreams, you are their slave. By imagining that you are born as so-and-so, you become a slave to the so-and-so. In this dream you imagine yourself to be a process, to have past and future, to have history. In fact, we have no history, we are not a process, we do not develop, nor decay; see all as a dream and stay out of it.

While it lasts, the dream has temporary being. It is your own desire to hold on to it that creates the problem. Let go. Stop imagining that the dream is yours.

"When you see your dream as dream, you wake up. But in your dream itself I am not interested. Enough for me to know that you must wake up. You need not bring your dream to a definite conclusion, or make it noble, or happy, or beautiful; all you need is to realise that you are dreaming. Stop imagining, stop believing. See the contradictions, the incongruities, the falsehood and the sorrow of the human state, the need to go beyond. Within the immensity of space floats a tiny atom of consciousness and in it the entire universe is contained." - Nisargadatta Maharaj

All depends on you. It is by your consent that the world exists. Withdraw your belief in its reality and it will dissolve like a dream.

As you cannot separate the dream from yourself, so you cannot have an outer world independent of yourself. You are independent, not the world. Don’t be afraid of a world you yourself have created. Cease from looking for happiness and reality in a dream and you will wake up.
