You Are a Creator of Your Own World…

Hi everyone! I was on a sabbatical but now I’m back. And I think apologies are quite in order for the disappearing act – I hope you forgive me…

I’d like to start from a thread I left off in my earlier posting. In that posting, I promised to discuss the topic of God in more detail, and I think this is it. I don’t think there are many people out there who doubt the existence of God.

The reason I find this topic both interesting and important is because God is the source of all things including life, wealth, prosperity, success, health, happiness etc. It is equally important to note that in order to acquire and enjoy life, wealth, prosperity, health and happiness we should be connected to the Source, God. For many centuries, many wealthy people including the great King Solomon, the richest man in the world in his time, were aware of this fact and passed it on as a secret, from generation to generation. You should consider yourself fortunate to be alive in this day and age, when the Internet and knowledge explosion has made it possible for anyone to acquire this kind of knowledge. Before the 15th century, even the holy Bible was not available to everyone.

Before we proceed, let’s set the stage. Everything you see in this world first existed in the spiritual (metaphysical) world before it manifested in the physical. The physical world cannot exist without the spiritual world but the spiritual world can and does exist without the physical world. All the gold, the diamonds, the oil, the money (that’s right!) and all the precious stones in this physical world existed and still do exist in the spiritual world. As a matter of fact all these things are just a shadow of the real things in the spiritual world, as we will see shortly. In fact, to get a glimpse of what I mean just refer to the holy Bible in the book of Revelation the twenty-first chapter (Revelation 21:19-21, NIV).

I don’t want to raise any controversy, but I think it’s important for all of us to understand that in the entire universe nothing can exist on its own – it was either created or made by SOMEONE!

One doesn’t need to go far to prove that this is the case – just look at yourself. Although you may not be aware of it, you are constantly creating and re-creating the world around you. As a matter of fact, everything you use in your daily life from your toothbrush to the car that you are driving was created or made by someone. Ok, the material to create it was already there, but nevertheless, someone designed it, molded it into a familiar shape to become usable for the benefit of mankind.

This is no coincidence. The characteristic or behavior to create or build things was passed on through our parents and our parents’ parents all the way down from the great grandparent of all parents commonly known by many cultures and religions as Adam. Different cultures and religions have their own way of describing this genealogy but it all points to one common ancestor for mankind. The process of passing similar characteristics and behavior through genealogy in mankind and animals is called DNA inheritance. Without a doubt, the discovery of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is one of the most important scientific discoveries in history and a lot of it is still unknown, and it’s now helping us to better understand how genetic information (genes) is passed on from parent to offspring or from one generation to another.

Another fact that points towards creation is the fact that for creation to occur there must be a creative mind present and some degree of intelligent design. I think it’s fair to say that the human being is the most intelligent creature on earth. Mind is also inherited through DNA, but it is more complex to understand, but it is important to note that mind is spiritual rather than physical. It is important to note that mind is different from brain – the physical greymatter that resides in the head of every human being and most animals.

So, how did man (and woman) acquire DNA?

The answer is DNA inherited through creation from another mind more powerful and more intelligent than our common ancestor or Adam. This ultimate mind is called God and it is the mind that is behind the creation of the universe and everything in it. Unfortunately, very little is known about God and His characteristics and behavior are so unfamiliar that many people choose to ignore the topic altogether. This is because God Himself resides in the spiritual realm – a dimension very few people care to understand, discuss or delve into. However, the understanding of this realm and how it functions holds the key to the understanding of how the entire universe was formed.

God is spirit and lives in the spiritual realm – another dimension. The holy Bible mentions that God resides in the third heaven (II Cor. 12:2-4). This is not to be confused with the physical heavens such as the atmosphere, troposphere and the stratosphere. Rather, these should be understood to mean spiritual realms. Our human capacity is so limited that we can understand upto only three or four dimensions (length, breadth, depth and height) and with some extra effort, perhaps another dimension, time. In the spiritual realm, there are three more dimensions, bringing the total number of dimensions to seven, which is God’s dimension. God resides in the epicenter of this seventh dimension, which, presumably, is the center of the universe from where He directs the affairs of the universe. We understand this through Biblical record because it is the number God commonly works with and is widely believed to be the number of perfection or completeness. For your information the number seven (or seventh) appears in the Bible 677 times!

The Biblical account gives a mind-boggling panorama of heaven. It goes as follows. Surrounded by a host of powerful angelic beings, The Bible mentions that God sits on a throne from where He controls, directs and exudes His sphere of influence throughout the entire universe. Unfortunately, very little is known about this panorama. It’s important to note that this scenario should not be taken literally as much of it is aimed at showing to a mortal human being, a glimpse of the spiritual realm and a snapshot of the affairs of heaven. It’s equally important to note that God is not limited to space, time and distance; therefore, He is omnipresent within the entire universe. If you would like to get more information about it please read the holy Bible, the fourth chapter of the book of Revelation (Rev 4:1 – 11, NIV).

One important aspect of God that we need to understand is that God is infinite and like Him, the universe is also infinite. The universe itself is not God but is part of God’s creation that includes the visible universe and the invisible universe. But of course our feeble minds may not allow us to understand this concept since much of it belongs in higher dimensions that are beyond our human comprehension.

Scientists are just beginning to understand that the key to understanding how the universe was formed lies in the understanding of very small particles and micro-organisms. In other words, in order to understand the origins of the universe, scientists are shifting their focus from studying large things such as galaxies, solar systems, stars, planets and other celestial objects and instead they are increasingly focusing on the study of very small particles and micro-organisms.

Scientific breakthrough in quantum physics has enabled scientists to build computer microchips that are so small that they can be injected into your blood vessels. Scientists are using brute force to advance quantum physics and microbiology beyond the present limits and much study, funding and concerted effort is directed towards this goal. If you would like to learn more about quantum physics, you may find more information here.

Let’s not dwell too much on science. How did God create the first ancestor or Adam? Simple. According to the Bible, He first made the concept in His mind, of how a human being should look like and then followed by making the physical form of the man (and woman). Next He breathed His spirit into him and the man (or woman) became a living soul (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:7). You should understand that the spiritual form of the first man and woman was already present with God, and once God decided that it was time to create a physical form of the man and woman, He did so using His creative mind. The physical form then just appeared effortlessly. It’s important to understand that the spiritual gives life to the physical – not the other way round. Unlike other animals, but like God, mankind was created to be infinite or eternal. This should not be understood to mean that the physical form or body is immortal. The physical form is simply a temporary abode for the spiritual being, while in transit to eternity.

Where is all this taking us?

Everything you see in this world, including the ground on which you are standing began in the mind. So, where did creation actually take place? I think it’s more accurate to say that creation actually happened in the mind before it manifested in its physical form.

As you can see, mind is the most powerful force in the universe, since it is connected with the most powerful force in the entire universe, and that is The Source of all mind, God.

This leads us to understand that we as human beings have the capacity and responsibility to create anything we desire within our sphere of influence, as long as it conforms to the laws of the universe. Now these laws should not be understood to mean only the universal laws such as the law of gravity, but should include all universal laws including moral laws such as the Biblical Ten Commandments etc. I’m sure other holy books have similar moral laws. Bear in mind that breaking any universal law including moral laws, goes in contrast against the principles of the universe, how it was formed and how it functions, and the consequences of this fact can be seen all around us today (sickness, death, war, depletion of the ozone layer, melting of the ice caps, rising sea levels, desertification etc.).

As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, the human mind is like a tsunami. We can either use it constructively or destructively. By using our mind constructively and creatively, we have the capacity to create enormous wealth, health, money, abundance and happiness for the benefit of all mankind. If utilized properly and efficiently, the universe has enormous potential and can never be fully exploited. There’s enough money and wealth in the universe to make every human being on earth a millionaire ten times (every one of the six billion of us).

Our scarcity mentality often gets in the way of progress and we are constantly bombarded with scarcity propaganda by our parents, our friends, our schools, the Internet and the media such as money is a scarce resource; it takes a lot of money to be rich; you will never be rich; you have to work very hard to be rich; the rich become richer and the poor become poorer; money is hard to get; you have to be lucky to become rich; there’s never enough money in the world; money is hard to get; I will never get well; this disease is incurable; this disease has no cure; No one cares about me; I have no friends; Nobody likes me; I am ugly and so on… The effect is that we end up believing that these things are true and eventually they become permanently engraved in our sub-conscious minds.

Prosperity, health and happiness begin when we start to tell our sub-conscious minds that these things are not true. In fact, we become prosperous, healthy and happy the moment we start believing that we are already prosperous, healthy and happy – not when the prosperity, health and happiness manifest physically.
