Message 9: Sacred Inner Space
"A new time is in the making —
of justice, freedom and peace. In this coming time the peoples of
all the nations will see fulfilled their dreams and hopes of a
better life: of meaning and purpose, of beauty and understanding, of
right relationship and love."
(Maitreya, the World Teacher,
from Share International, April 2003)
Once, when I was praying after my
meditation, I asked God why it is so difficult for us to change the
focus of our mind from the low material vibrations to the higher
spiritual vibrations of God’s energy. Why is it so difficult that
most of us just want to give up and go back to the dense material
vibrations, which causes the sufferings in the world?
And this is the answer from my
heart:
“This world, this
poor broken world of mine is so engrossed in body consciousness that
it has lost its connection with Me. The majority of people think
that I am living outside them. They cannot feel My presence in their
inner being and they think that they have to please Me with their
rituals and their prayers. They believe that if they don’t please
Me, I won’t answer their pleas. If they find their pleas unanswered
they believe that their prayers were at fault, or that I do not hear
them, or that I have no time for their petty problems. I have no
time? Mine is eternity, I live in eternity, but they don’t know
this. My poor confused children, they cannot understand that they
are praying on the dense material level, and that their confused
minds are producing conflicting outcomes. Because you have lost your
connection with your deeper inner spiritual being, you do not
understand that your desires on your spiritual level might differ or
even conflict with your needs on your material plane. If you don’t
have a master’s mind you cannot bring about an instant result in
manifesting your material dreams. You should know that you don’t
need to perform extensive and complicated rituals to please Me. I
can hear your cries, I am not deaf. All you need to do is feel the
connection with Me inside your heart. Be fully and consciously aware
that I am living in you and be fully aware that I am always willing
to give you that what you want for yourself and what will benefit
you and the whole. With this awareness you can affirm that
everything is possible with God. Without this awareness all your
affirmations are futile. Your body consciousness projects feelings
of separated egos. And from this projected separation comes all the
dualities in the world. But when you will feel that Oneness with Me,
all separation and dualities of the world will be dissolved and you
will be enlightened. It is of no use to try to dissolve any unwanted
situation from the level of body consciousness, for as long as you
are captured in this material consciousness, you will be affected by
its contrasts and laws, just like a prisoner cannot rule the prison.
To rise above the level of dense worldly vibrations you have to grow
towards Cosmic Consciousness, which is in you. I tell you, you know
more of the spiritual world than you think you know. Your physics
have shown that in fact your material world is composed of such
small particles that it can never be seen. I tell you this today.
Your material world consists for 99% of empty space. Yes, it is all
empty space, almost void of what you call material substances. And
so your material world becomes just an illusion and you, my child,
are caught up in this illusion. If I tell you today that your
material world consists for 99% of empty space, than still you will
wonder, what is in that empty space. (soft laughter). I invite you
to step into this empty space and see my Spirit dancing in this
sacred space full of potentiality. Your scientists are still in
search for the smallest particle of material substance, and they go
on and find smaller and smaller particles, but one day they will
discover what is already known by some, namely that thought is the
smallest particle of material substance. Just like light rays have a
dual face, that of waves and of particles, so are your thoughts;
they are energies coming from your inner world as waves, but when
they enter your brains, they become the first particles of matter.
Yes, thoughts are the building blocks of your physical world. Behind
these thoughts is My Spiritual Energy. No, you cannot comprehend
this. But still, try to imagine, if thoughts seem so non-material
and if thoughts are the beginning of your material world, then who
are You? Can you now catch a glimpse of your real Being? Only 1% of
your Whole Being lives in the material world, can you then imagine
where the rest of your Being is? No, you won’t even believe this,
because this is just beyond your comprehension. But, My child, I
invite you to enter your ‘empty’ space on a daily base, because that
is Who you really are, and that is where you and I are connected.
This sacred space is not really empty, but because it is almost void
of material particles you would call it empty. This space is the
womb of unlimited spiritual potentialities. The more you step into
this space, the more you will realize your connection with Me,
Spirit, living in Eternity. Now I implore you, throughout your daily
struggles on this physical plane, don’t forget this truth. Don’t put
it away, just because you cannot believe it. Share it and tell this
truth to all who wants to hear.
I could not believe
that our physical plane is actually an empty space, and I had really
a hard time accepting this revelation. Therefore, I started to look
to science for more scientific answers. I was sure that I would not
find any affirmations for the so-called ‘empty’ space. But much to
my surprise I found science embarrassed about the missing mass in
the universe. Chris Miller explains in his paper: ‘Cosmic Hide and
Seek: The search for the missing mass’: “In their efforts to find
the missing 90% of the universe, particle physicists theorize the
existence of tiny non-baryonic particles that are different from
what we call "ordinary" matter. If scientists prove that
non-baryonic matter does exist, it would mean that our world and the
people in it are made of something which comprises an insignificant
portion of the physical universe.”
I was amazed with
this and other findings about our world, in which we have been
living with a feeling of very solid matter. Then it is true what
Eastern philosophers had said about maya, which means our world is a
dream, it is actually not a 100% solid world. All those scientific
explanations about atoms, electrons, quarks and now this
non-baryonic matter made me wonder: then what are we actually made
of? After peeling layers and layers of matter, we come now into a
non-baryonic world. Is it then true what Eastern philosophy is
saying about our existence: that we are like an onion, after peeling
the layers, we will find nothing in the end. |
