Know Your Personal Universe
By Kerry Angwin
The Oxford Dictionary defines a universe as "all existing things; the whole creation; the cosmos". All of creation, everything, is how people try to perceive 'universe'. The concept is brain straining. Humans down the ages have struggled to understand. What if defining all that is - the universe - is not the main point? After all, the universe constantly changes.
What if 'all of creation', the universe, is not seen as a mind numbing endlessness of all that is, rather as an infinite supply of triggers and understandings for a human being to draw upon every day of their life's journey? What if the main point is that the universe directly relates to us as a part of us, just as we are a part of it?
We can just turn ourselves around from a perspective of looking out at the universe and often feeling small and somewhat powerless in it, to a powerful perspective of seeing the universe as our life companion - providing an endless source of assistance to us - if we have the consciousness to see it.
Those who have turned themselves around like this, and live accordingly know my next point. With this consciousness of the personal richness the universe has for each of us, we actively absorb messages, information, understandings, and we put these to practical use in our daily lives - and we watch the quality of our lives leap and leap. At some point on the path of learning just how much the universe is there for us, and has for us, we find a certain contentment and peace: and we perceive the universe as our personal universe. As it is also, uniquely, for others.
To truly work fully with the richness of our personal connection to the universe we each need to do a bit of fundamental growth to discover who we are. We can do this personal discovery work in tandem with discovering the power of the universe for each of us. Learning to know yourself more deeply than you thought possible, while learning the layers of how the universe is there for you, is a most powerful tandem path.
Your personal universe is the set of understandings you learn to hold about how you interact with everything: in your environment (the world around you, which comes to you directly through your senses), in your mind (thought) and in your heart (feelings). Each of your environment, mind and heart is so much more than it first seems however.
There is the seen, physical dimension of it all: everything on earth. There is another dimension, unseen, an energy which flows through everything that is seen. This unseen dimension is all powerful in your personal universe, meaning that its potential for you is endless.
Its name is what you most prefer to call it: Spirit, World or Realm of Spirit, the Dreaming, the Divine, God, the Source, the Cosmos (Universe), the Force... and so on. Through this endless powerful energy comes message after message into your consciousness, if you are awake and alive to it.
