 My Notes on

From the TEMPLE WITHIN: The 4th Book of Light

by Evan T. Pritchard

Chapter 10: Universal Mind Realization

• We are all students of life, we have all been in some world or other for lifetimes, studying the situations that teach us of life.
• How much do we know for certain & how much is presumption?
• Mind knows nothing.  Life is one, God is one, beingness is one, but mind cannot grasp them, and tries to break off pieces to control them.
• Mind cannot even grasp the totality of the body, which seems so limited, but which contains the secrets of existence, and is the key to unlocking the universe.
• The mind was created for a divine purpose & is a node of the nervous system of the universe, any one of which has the ability to tap into the rest of the system once the key is turned to unlock the doors of perception.
• It is only a problem to be mind when mind begins to reflect on itself, and believe it has or possesses this knowledge it merely processes.
• Soul can perceive truth & fact in great bundles which it passes on to the mind to unravel like a ball of yarn.
• At times the mind is inflated by a renegade ego with self-importance & identifies with its thoughts & ideas and thinks itself indispensable & smarter than other minds it sees as separate from itself.
• The sphere of life is governed by the universal mind, and the fascinating structure of that sphere can be revealed by linking up with the universal mind through the subconscious self.
• The universal mind system guarantees that whatever manifests from that creative idea does so according to the laws inherent in the mental plane, and so forth, on down to the physical.  Much of what happens is automatic once the cosmic mind is activated.
• In comparison, the universal unconscious controls the autonomic functions of the universe, including earth's weather patterns, biological energies & migrations, and movement of tectonic plates.
• It also greatly influences directives of the individual unconscious, which in turn affects people's behavior.
• So in a sense, reality is a composite of a variety of Soul impulses from different sources making up the whole.
• Deep meditation & contemplation can work in a similar way to hypnosis, linking the person who practices it with the unconscious mind which can be re-programmed to set one's life in a whole new direction if one so chooses.
• Some [leaders]/teachers/gurus control their followers through universal mind power & this is a power that can corrupt.  It in itself is NOT divine!
• Many churches, religions, and organizations do this to keep in power
• Kept in balance by using Karmic Law
• One can have an open loving heart, able to manifest miracles without being a metaphysical genius, and without even understanding what is happening, or the mechanics of it.
• To have the purity of God's love poured into the fragile heart of a normal human, residing there as a beacon point, is very hard on the individual who experiences it, but it is possible (examples: Christ, Saints, Ascended Masters).
• That is why masters train in the ways of the adepts those who have profound God Conscious experiences, placing in their hands sometimes vast powers of imagination & comprehensions just to keep their lives in balance & help them survive.
• The ultimate fulfillment of spiritual potential for any incarnate being, is to have both Universal Mind Realization & God Realization, but it is best that God Realization comes first, for only the God-filled person can keep the mind & its universal influence in perspective, so that it doesn't create havoc for others trying to get a foothold in the inner realities.  For most people, it is better not to know.
• This is the realization that the masters have returned to share:  to see God as infinity... and yourself eternal.
• Life is a combo of movie & experiment, and all good stories are experiments of the finest order, not just to see what will or should happen, but how it would happen in every possible combo of events & situations.
• THE END GAME OF HUMAN LIFE IS TO REACH BALANCE THROUGH EXPERIENCE.
• Without an element of surprise, Soul doesn't learn, nothing is proven.  Without surprise, there is no wonder, and wonder is Soul's proof of passage from the darkness into the light.
• God awoke & is continually awakening & manifesting more & more of itself in form as it awakens, so do its creatures & creations awaken, each dreaming God-like dreams & sharing those with one another.
• Soul was created in God's image, but most have yet to achieve God's likeness, which is sharing in all the qualities of God without sharing its full power & magnitude (which is impossible).
• All Souls are individualized aspects of the divine.
• Soul feeds on learning; Its purpose is to learn & perceive truth.
• Soul is also creative & enjoys creating new realities using "thought forms", bundles of thought, like we experience in dreams.
• The most important thing you need to know upon re-entering human embodiment is respect for human values. ... You need to become bonded to the human state & practice human values to stay grounded while flowing in the strong currents of the life stream.
• If Soul is not allowed to participate fully in mind, heart, and bodily - in other words, wholeheartedly in Its work - those vehicles will become sick & not work anymore.
• Unless the spiritual energies of Soul can complete the circuit of the body's complete nervous system & flow out again, Soul will not be able to handle the insights of the Universal Mind, or the earth-shaking vibrations of the God Conscious State for very long, and will become discouraged with Its life in the world, if not Its quest for God.
