CHAPTER 5 MIRROR WORLD
Now the following lines:
Everyone lives in his/her experience/thinking world and reflects what is inside.
This means that once you let this sink in, you can’t hide behind anything anymore, and you can no longer place the problem outside yourself.
We do this so gladly, he did it, she did it, the world had done it, that group has done it. That other group, we are better than the other group, and the other group should listen to us.
But no one has done it, you’ve caused your own world, you put it into motion.
We live in a mirror world. That world is not just as it is. How the world is, the situation you are in, the people you have around you, everything has meaning. Everything would become really meaningful if you want to see this, if this aspect of the Key would become integrated in the society.
We’re often quick to blame others for our lives and the state of the world. But it’s really about taking responsibility for our own reality. The world changes when we change, because what’s inside us is reflected outside—a fundamental truth, not just a nice idea.
THINKING
Thinking itself isn’t the problem. The real issue is when the mind takes control over us. The trouble comes when there’s no openness to another source of knowledge found in the heart. That’s where true wisdom is hidden, staying locked away until we choose to open our hearts.
This is the knowledge of the heart—true, living knowing. When you truly know it, you live it, and there’s no need to force or suppress anything. Yet that fountain of living knowledge has had few chances to reveal itself.
THINK SYSTEMS
And so, a lot of thought systems arise from the mind because we believe we know. Entire strongholds form this way. In fact, most belief systems are generally rooted in what we think we know.
Whole systems define how to live, what’s true or false, who’s good and who’s bad—it’s all just thinking. A church is one such system of thought, no matter the belief: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and so on. Without the experience of true knowing in the heart, it remains only a system of thought.
And those thinking-systems keep us apart.
Through those systems there are wars, big and small.
These systems create envy, hatred, racism and judgment.
These thought systems shape the world, with one being more powerful and dominant than the other.
MANIPULATION
Because they are merely thinking systems and not rooted in truth, people are easily influenced. Each has a trolley that can move through a crowd, touching on something each person is sensitive to, tempting them and shaping their decisions. Or they can be scared with threats of hell and damnation, whether in this life or the next.
Thus man remains locked, trapped inside himself, overcome by so much.
Although this prison can look beautiful on the outside.
NOT OF THIS WORLD
The truth does exist, lying beneath all our systems of thought and what we think we know. This truth is not of this world. The path can only be found through a connection with what is beyond it. From there, you can resolve all your confusion and pain, as well as the world we create.
ENERGY
Everything carries energy, which is such an important part of life. You give off a certain vibe, and whatever you put out—your thoughts, your emotions—comes back to you and shows up in the world around you.
This has nothing to do with the world as we know it. The world doesn’t really exist in a fixed way. Each person creates their own version of it, and it takes shape according to their thoughts. Since many people believe the world should be a certain way, it ends up being like that. In the end, the world is a very relative concept.
The world will change around us when we change from within. If the true New World within us reveals itself—the Eternal Light inside that doesn’t belong to this world—and could speak about everything, there would be no more possibility to hide.
You are angry with someone, you’re mad at yourself. You’re angry at something.
All material. No guilt, but taking responsibility.
There are opportunities in every moment of your life. Nothing is for nothing. Everything has meaning, everything can be a sign.
