As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a \u201cmental\u201d construction. Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: \u201cThe stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual.\u201d (R.C. Henry, \u201cThe Mental Universe\u201d ; Nature 436:29,2005) (source)<br \/>\nScience is quickly catching up to ancient wisdom. Changing our world requires action, yes, but that action must come from a place of peace, love , cooperation and understanding. Who is to say that meditation, and directing intention towards what we would like to change is not the base of action? If you change within, manifestation without will begin to unfold, and that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happening on our planet right now. If our hearts are in the right place, and our intentions are pure, we will be provided with the necessary opportunities using action to implement change. This is why the role of consciousness, and recognizing the role of consciousness is so important. It plays a large factor in creating global change on a mass scale.&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am very concerned about how many people and many communities who are more consciously evolved interpret their spiritually opening state experiences.
