When you feel a sense of being less than whole, you are simply mistaken. Your intellect is mistaken.
There is a whole pie. You see only half of a pie, and you think that is all there is to see. You see with your mind, beloveds, not your eyes. Your mind tells you what you see and it tells you what to make of it. It tells you that meaning is based on past experience and past accrued learning. You have one eye closed, as it were.
You see only a fraction of what is. A small fraction. Your eyes and mind are meant to open the world. Once you see, others will.
Your perception is often faulty. But it is your perception, and you are free to have it. It is just that you don't have to have it.
If My children did not hold fast to ideas and beliefs, there would be no predilection for war. Hold fast to dreams, beloveds, rather than ideas.
Break out of the prison of your mind. Turn your mind into an adventurer, an explorer at the helm, steering, not to well-known shores but to those yet unmapped.
You are not only to read old books clustered in your mind. There are also blank pages for you to fill.
It is not only for you to adopt ideas. It is for you to find a few of your own. It is not for you to always read what someone else has underlined or highlighted. It is not always for you to read another's thoughts.
Your mind was meant to think. Your mind is not meant only to be a parrot who repeats what it has heard.
Your take on the world has been skewed, and so the world is skewed. Think better of the world, and you will think better of yourself. It is you, after all, who lives in the world.
You live in a world of heroes. You live in a world filled with sunlight. You live in a world where flowers grow, and there is food to eat, and fields to play in. This is reality.
Stars come out at night for your pleasure, and to help you remember that infinity exists. The stars are within your grasp. They are spot lights of the night sky, shining down on you to remind you that even in night-dark, there is light.
Moonlight follows you. The sun is always shining. There is really no sunset, nor dawn. That change is illusion. The sun is only covered by a curve of the Earth. The sun never went anywhere. You did. Your mind believed what it had been told.
The whole universe is at your fingertips. It issues great rays of energy for you.
Consider everyone as light. Picture the light criss-crossing the universe. Perhaps you are the stars seen from some unknown unnamed planet in a faraway galaxy.
There is more you don't know than you do know. You have perhaps thought it was the reverse. Indeed, you have learned a great deal, and most of it is not useful for you.
Land on the moon tonight with your thoughts. Light flies. In one instant, light travels the universe. You are more than a world traveler. You are universe traveler. You walk on creation. You travel creation. You introduce the universe to itself so that it may know what it is about.
You are responsible to the universe, for it is you who cultures it.
