To put it another way, everything we experience in life is a function of three spiritual facts: we are alive, we are aware, and we think.

At the level of illusion, the mind is seen to work less as a camera or paintbrush than as a kaleidoscope, creating endless patterns of experience as it diffracts the oneness of life via the prism of Thought. This is the level of understanding that invites the miraculous – transformations that defy rational explanation and insights that redefine the

the more you look in the direction of what’s creating experience and away from the content of that experience, the easier it is to hear the quiet wisdom that can lead to a quantum leap in consciousness.

What would it be like to play the game of life with that same degree of fearlessness and freedom, knowing that everything that really counted – your well-being, happiness, love, and self-worth – was already yours to keep? After all, you were born with them, and the only thing that can ever take you away from them is a thought.

We get angry and want to change the world, but in our anger and frustration we alienate the very people who could help us to achieve our aims. Then we feel insecure and alone and think

recognizing the role of Thought in creating experience makes us less inclined to run amok when we’ve gone offline. Instead of blaming our job, our partner, our kids, or the universe in general for our problems, we recognize that but for our thinking, we’d be having a completely different perception and experience of our situation.
