The universe as we know it goes far beyond the laws of physics. In fact it could be said that the physical universe is just the tip of the iceberg. Behind the atoms, protons and electrons of physical energy and matter there is a much more subtle spiritual force. Yet despite its subtlety, it is awesomely powerful.
This spiritual force has been given many names. Some traditions have personalised it and called it God, the Father and the Almighty. Others refer to it as Infinite Intelligence, the Creative Force and the Conscious Universe. And of course, there are many other labels which are used the world over.
It doesn’t matter what we call the spiritual force (although we will call it the Conscious Universe simply for ease of reading). What matters is that we recognise and work with it. If we do this – if we get in harmony with the universe – we will find that life because a much more pleasurable and meaningful experience.
Before we can begin to develop such a harmony with the universe, we first need to become familiar with certain key concepts and natural laws. We will discuss these more fully over the coming months so that we can learn to make use of them and not just indulge in idle talk, but for now the major points which you need to begin thinking about can be summarised as follows:
Concept 1 - You are an eternal spiritual being
Although you have a physical body of flesh and blood, the real you is spiritual in nature. Because spirit is eternal, so you are eternal, and although your physical body will one day cease to function, the real you will never die. Instead it will soar free and continue on a new, magnificent adventure.
Concept 2 – There is a purpose for everything
You were not born into this world by accident, but you came here for a reason. In the same way, although sometimes events and circumstances may appear to be random and maybe even cruel, there is always a purpose for everything that happens in your life and in the world as a whole.
Concept 3 – You have great creative potential
Because you are a spiritual being, you were never designed to be a victim of life. On the contrary. You have incredible creative abilities which you can learn to use to dramatically improve your quality of life.
