Projection makes perception. Whether we’re aware of it or
not, experience begins on the inside and get’s projected out. The consciousness that we are a part of and of
which everything is composed, is always accepting our thoughts, feelings and
beliefs. Like clay or jello, consciousness receives the impressions we make in
it and reflects them back at us. That is not only what Goswami and many Quantum
physicists have discovered, but also what all the great spiritual avatars throughout
the ages have said. Seek ye the Kingdom first.
What this means is, that it is not the ego itself that is
the problem, but my mind’s decision to believe
in the ego that is the problem. Both the physics and spiritual wisdom agree, I
make real in my experience what I most fervently believe in. What I see outside
me: the fear, guilt, blame and terror are a reflection of what I see within me,
first.
As long as my most fundamental beliefs about the world and
living are based on original sin,
dog-eat-dog, scarcity, lack, duality and the separation of matter and spirit,
then I will see these reflected in my daily experiences. And by the same
principle, when I am able to not take the ego so seriously and am able to shift
from myself to mySelf and am open to spirit’s compassion, joy, creativity,
fearlessness, inclusion and abundance, I see these reflected in my daily
experiences.
What I’m experiencing outside is a reflection of what I’m
experiencing inside, so “seek not to change the world, but choose to change
your mind about the world,” The Course
says. Without judgment, guilt, blame, punishment or attack on myself, others
and events, I can simply understand how the cosmic ‘system’ works and choose
again. Remember, it’s not the ego itself that is the problem, but my mind’s
decision to believe in the ego and
all its horror and negativity that is the problem.
