Welcome to today’s discussion on consciousness! As a reminder, be sure to subscribe to my Newsletter to stay informed about my regular teachings. Every Monday, we focus on meditation; Wednesdays are dedicated to Wisdom Wednesday talks, and Fridays delve into the freedom of being and explore various aspects of consciousness.

In today’s discussion on consciousness, we explore the concept of mirrored reality. As we observe our surroundings, such as trees, flowers, or forests, we’re confronted with a world of contrasts, polarities, and duality. This makes us question whether humanity is truly progressing in the right direction, reflecting the essence of what we perceive in our environment.

In today’s discussion on consciousness, we delve into the idea of mirrored reality. This concept is based on the observation that our environment is filled with contrasts, polarities, and duality, leading us to question the true direction of human progress. One of the first realizations of anything comes when we see a reflection in a mirror, and we must ask ourselves if the reflection is truly us or if it’s the image we see. As many of our teachings have shown, it’s the image that matters. To change the reflection, you must change the image – you can’t make a reflection smile, but you can alter the emotions within the image, causing the reflection to smile.

This idea is the basis for the concept of “smoke and mirrors.” When you see your reflection in a mirror, it smiles, laughs, or cries because the image does so. Eventually, you understand that your state of being, your internal emotions, and your self-image are what create the reflection that is presented back to you. This leads to the question: how much of what we see in the universe is really a result of our own internal lens of perception?

In our exploration of consciousness, we previously discussed the concept of mirrored reality and the impact of our internal emotions and self-image on the reflections we perceive. Today, we delve further into the question of who we truly are, whether it’s the person in front of the mirror or behind it. As mentioned in previous Tufti videos, the metaphysical mirror exists in the space of variance, known as the Brahmanda in Vedic terms, where all possibilities of creation reside. Everything and everyone in every possible scenario already exists. It’s our attention that determines what manifests.

This understanding leads us to consider how our self-perception influences the image we see in the mirror. For instance, when wearing a crown, the reflection portrays a sovereign being, while dressing up in a demonic manner results in a demonic reflection. This illustrates the profound impact of our thoughts and self-image on our perception of reality.

In today’s discussion, we ponder the idea of our self-perception as the source of the reflections we see in our environment. This concept stems from the belief that if we consider ourselves as pure, divine beings, our reflections will also portray such divinity. It’s similar to the idea presented in the Matrix film, which suggests that there’s no separation between the self and the world, and everything we perceive is merely a reflection of our own frequency. This leads us to recognize that our mind acts as a mirror, reflecting our inner world onto the external reality. Our perception of the universe, including the sun, galaxies, stars, trees, and lakes, is all happening within us. Furthermore, two people observing the same object may perceive it differently, indicating that our individual perspectives play a significant role in shaping our experiences. Ultimately, we come to understand that we are the entire cosmos, and our mind’s mirror holds the key to our perception of reality.

In today’s discussion, we explore how our self-perception influences the reflections we see in our environment and the world around us. This realization highlights the idea that the world is simply mirroring our internal state. If we want to see the world in a better way, we must start improving ourselves, so that the reflections we perceive are more positive. As Maitreya said, it’s not the circumstances that create our reality, but our internal state of being, frequency, and vibration that are reflected within the world mirror. This understanding emphasizes the importance of taking accountability for ourselves and recognizing that any process of change begins with the self. We are the center, the zero point, the Bindu point, and the creational point of the entire world that we exist in.

In our exploration of consciousness and the concept of mirrored reality, we discuss the idea that our self-perception shapes the reflections we see in our environment. It’s essential to remember that the world is merely mirroring our internal state, and by improving ourselves, we can create more positive reflections. As Maitreya said, our reality is determined not by external circumstances, but by our internal state of being, frequency, and vibration, which are reflected in the world around us. Embracing this understanding highlights the importance of taking responsibility for our own experiences and realizing that any change begins within ourselves. We are the center, the zero point, the Bindu point, and the creational point of the entire world in which we exist. By acknowledging our interconnectedness with the world, we can overcome feelings of loneliness, recognizing that our world is born and grows within us, and ultimately, we are one with the world.

In the exploration of consciousness and mirrored reality, we must recognize that we are constantly meeting ourselves. The differences and multiplicity we perceive are like a dream arising and vanishing within our mind’s eye. We contain the entire universe within ourselves, and all is self-experiencing self ad infinitum. To understand this concept, consider the idea of proving that A contains B by denying A and observing if B still exists. In the same way, if we want to prove that we contain the entire universe, we deny ourselves and see if the universe still exists. The universe’s existence is conditional upon our existence, and the first reality lies in our thoughts. By understanding this, we realize that our perception of the world is a reflection of our internal state, and by improving ourselves, we can create a more positive reality.

Our thoughts play a significant role in creating the reality we experience. The world is a reflection of our thoughts, and if we consider our thoughts to be imaginary, then the world derived from them cannot be a higher reality. This realization prompts us to change the way we perceive our environment and strive to dream a better, more ideal dream. Our belief systems come into play here, as we must believe that we are the creators of our reality, and this stems from our own selves. By embracing this belief, we create a model for our experiences, ultimately shaping the world we live in.

In the exploration of consciousness, it’s crucial to understand that our dreams can come true, but this manifestation is contingent upon our beliefs and the clarity of our thoughts. We must trust in the universe and surrender to its timing while maintaining clear and pure intentions. To create a better dream and improve our reality, we must initiate change from within, turning ourselves inside out, and not allowing external circumstances to dictate our experiences. By focusing on our inner selves and nurturing our thoughts, we can cultivate a more positive and ideal world for ourselves and those around us.

In today’s exploration of consciousness and mirrored reality, we must consider the choices we make between love and fear, as these play a significant role in shaping our perceptions and experiences. We are limitless beings, but often become confined by societal expectations, family roles, and other external factors. The challenge lies in stripping away these facades and recognizing that we are much more than what we appear to be – we are soul beings having a human experience. Our perceptions of the world are conceived through our senses, including touch, smell, sight, hearing, and taste. By acknowledging our limitless nature and choosing love over fear, we can create a more positive and fulfilling reality for ourselves and others.

In examining our senses, we find that they act as localized magnifiers, highlighting certain aspects while limiting our perception of others. For instance, objects closer to us appear larger, while those further away seem smaller. Our eyes cannot perceive certain types of light, like ultraviolet or infrared, and we need specialized instruments to detect them. Similarly, our sense of hearing is limited to our immediate surroundings, and our sense of touch is restricted to our body’s surface. Despite these limitations, our senses still play a crucial role in shaping our experiences and perceptions of the world around us. By recognizing these constraints, we can strive to expand our awareness and cultivate a broader understanding of our environment.

By utilizing tools that enhance our senses, such as microscopes or other devices that magnify our experiences, we can perceive and interact with the world in new and profound ways. Our senses inherently prioritize objects that are closer to us, making them seem more important than those further away. Consequently, our emotional interactions with the world are influenced by the nature of our senses, shaping our attachments, affections, and appreciation of the universe we inhabit. Recognizing how our perception is affected by the limitations of our senses can help us better understand the way we classify and interpret our experiences, and ultimately, expand our awareness of the world around us.

In our exploration of consciousness and mirrored reality, it’s essential to remember that we are constantly experiencing ourselves. Our projections stem from the nature of our senses and how we perceive the world around us. For instance, when we squeeze a lemon, we get lemon juice; similarly, if we were to “squeeze” ourselves, we’d get a reflection of our inner selves. This emphasizes the importance of understanding that our perceptions and experiences are inherently linked to our inner state and the way we interact with our environment. By acknowledging this interconnectedness, we can work towards cultivating more positive and fulfilling experiences for ourselves and others.

In understanding the thinking and feeling mind, we recognize two ways of knowing things. When we claim to know an object, our mind functions by comparing it to other objects, ruling out other possibilities. For instance, knowing a car is a car, the mind differentiates it from a lorry. This act of knowledge is like a knife that separates an object from the rest of reality, dividing the whole into separate parts. As our discrimination becomes finer, we start cutting the universe into smaller, more synthesized particles. This process highlights the nature of cognition and how it shapes our understanding of the world around us.

The thinking mind operates through discrimination, creating divisions as it processes information. Knowledge gained through this process is divisive, as it separates objects and ideas from one another. The thinking mind is associated with the head, while the knowing mind is connected to the heart. When the heart and mind are in alignment, we become more in tune with our zero point. However, when they are separated, we venture further into branches and sub-branches of thought, similar to the branches of a tree. In essence, the thinking mind acts as a centrifugal force, pushing us away from our center.

In exploring consciousness and mirrored reality, it’s important to understand the differences between the thinking mind and the feeling mind. The thinking mind operates like a centrifugal force, moving away from its center or zero point, constantly searching and creating divisions. On the other hand, the feeling or knowing mind acts as a centripetal force, continuously returning to the center point. This centripetal force represents a wisdom mind, with its foundation based on love.

When we stand at the top of a tree on the surface of a sphere, only the center of the sphere remains stable as it rotates. The thinking mind is like the convex surface we sit on, defocused and always seeking. In contrast, the feeling mind, the centripetal force, serves as a centering device. By recognizing the differences between these two forces, we can work towards aligning our heart and mind, bringing ourselves closer to our zero point.

In exploring consciousness and mirrored reality, we must strive to eliminate the distinctions we perceive without relying solely on our senses. The feeling mind, or the heart, acts as a centripetal force and a centering device. Unlike the thinking mind, which separates and divides, the heart embraces unity and love. When we experience love, we innately know and embody it, merging together into a singular point. This union highlights the importance of aligning our heart and mind, enabling us to experience a deeper connection with our zero point and the world around us.

Unconditional love serves as a unifying principle, enabling us to bring infinity into unity consciousness and achieve a deeper understanding of ourselves. In Taoism, this is represented by the merging of yin and yang, which are the positive and negative energies, masculine and feminine aspects, and the knowing and thinking minds. The feminine aspect is receptive, and by achieving a balance of these energies, we can experience wholeness and harmony in our lives. This interconnectedness and unity emphasize the importance of not creating divisions between ourselves, but instead, embracing and returning to our true selves – the essence of life.

By balancing the probing effect and the action based on love, we make the world more meaningful, as we operate from our zero point—our inner selves. When we begin to see ourselves reflected in the mirror and recognize the interconnectedness of all aspects of our being, the mirror starts to fade away, allowing us to become one with our true selves. By aligning our heart and mind, we become a witness consciousness of unity, realizing that we are not separate entities, but rather part of the same universal dream. As we embrace this understanding, we can engage in life more effectively as detached observers, playing the various roles without fear of losing ourselves in the process.

Overcoming fear is possible through becoming aware and awake within the dream, realizing that everything is unified and illusory. As we understand that the world is like a game, it’s crucial to maintain love as the foundation knitting the cosmic web. By taking a deep breath and being a detached witness to life’s events, we can avoid passing judgment or evaluating situations. Instead, we can simply observe and acknowledge the transient nature of experiences, like waves in the sea or clouds in the sky. Embracing this detached observer mindset allows us to navigate life with greater ease and understanding.

Our perceptions and experiences stem from the alignment of our heart and mind, creating our reality from a pure space. When our heart and mind are in harmony, we feel supported by the universe, and our world takes care of us in every way imaginable. By expressing gratitude and maintaining this alignment, we can ensure a joyful and fulfilling life, connected to our true selves and the world around us.
