What If?

I am often bereft of words to explain the many deeply transcendent spiritual experiences I have had over the last ten years. I say bereft, because I cannot speak about what is conceptless, beyond human language, and formless. The best I can do is share inspirational stories and weave mystical imagery never knowing if I will trigger the deep inner wisdom of the one consciousness free of illusion that resides within each of us.
So I invite you to imagine that the one consciousness has a deep desire to create and expand its consciousness just because it can, but not for any reason, since it does not think with concepts. It simply knows and desires. The one consciousness as white light passes through a prism representing the process of manifestation and “birth” into this reality or illusion. I say illusion because when light refracts it splits into an infinite number of wavelengths each with its own unique vibration and color – yet there is still only one white light with the illusion of many. And each vibration becomes a plant, animal, human – everything that exists on this plane of existence.
And so it is with each of us. We come into this world with the same ability to create as the one consciousness – because we are that consciousness. When we are born we become confused because we see all the other wavelengths that are different from us, and we become frightened and forget who we are. We think that we have to compete with those wavelengths and we become protective, jealous, petty, limited and afraid that they can hurt us.
On this plane of reality, wavelengths of light must enter a body and animate it to function. Wavelengths need to communicate with each other so they use the body’s brain to create the language to do so. The brain gives birth to an ego-mind so the wavelengths can think and speak. The mind takes on a life of its own – it creates a personality and begins to believe that it is what it thinks. The wavelengths forget that each vibration is an aspect of the one consciousness containing specific creative abilities which have nothing to do with a “personality.” (The personality being the behavioral characteristics the ego-mind has developed to defend itself.)
When the body can no longer serve the purpose of the wavelength, the wavelength moves back through the prism and becomes part of the one consciousness/white light and then passes through the prism again into a new body to continue the process of creation and the expansion of consciousness.
So what if, as a wavelength of the one light, your purpose is simply to create by vibrating your “song” along with all the other wavelengths to create a perfect harmony we call life? What if there are no deep agendas, nothing to be resolved, no contracts, no dark purposes to be revealed? (We humans love to make up mythologies about everything.)
What if you have been called forth to vibrate boldly – to spend your time on this plane expanding consciousness through the process of creation - free of the illusions of this plane (your body & mind)? Would that change the way you conduct your life? Would you still allow yourself to be hooked by the illusions of this reality? Would you look at other people, plants and animals differently? How would YOU sing your song? What if?………
With All my love & blessings. Sheri Rosenthal

If the world is an illusion meant to be transcended, why does it exist at all?
To answer your question, letâs study the following words of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an Enlightened being, very carefully. He says: âThis puzzle has come about on its own, governed by the laws of science. I am telling you that this world is run only by Scientific Circumstantial Evidences. In Gujarati, I call it 'Vyavasthit Shakti'... It is all run by scientific circumstantial evidences. The whole world is run by this energy. These words are not easy to understand, unless
