In today’s article, I offer several quotes from various authors and deep thinkers that point to a different reality from that which the majority of persons assume to be true. Perhaps some, or all, of these quotes will resonate with you, or inspire you to investigate your essential nature beyond name and form:
“The world as seen only exists in the mind of the observer. It has no independent existence.”
– David R. Hawkins.
“This world, with all its animate beings and inanimate objects, is nothing but the creation of the mind. When the activities of the mind cease, there is no world, no duality. There is only God.”
– Gaudapada
“Every phenomenon that exists is a creation of thought.”
– Huang Po
“The truth is that God is the mind and life of the individual. God is the only I.”
– Joel Goldsmith
“Your Self without ‘you’ is the one you seek.”
– Mooji
“God is man’s consciousness, his awareness, his I Amness. The drama of life is a psychological one in which we bring circumstances to pass by our attitudes rather than by our acts.”
– Neville Goddard
“What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.”
– Plutarch
“The universe is a mere appearance and the ego-sense is a mere concept.”
– Ramesh S. Balsekar
“There is no difference in our actual experience between the substance of the apple that appears in memory and the substance of the apple that appears in ‘real time.’ Our only knowledge of both is made out of mind–out of seeing, touching, smelling, and tasting, and the substance of mind is only Awareness.“
– Rupert Spira
“Everything is in consciousness, nothing else.“
– Shri Ranjit Majarah
“Thought creates the world. Thoughts bring things into existence.”
– Sri Swami Sivananda
“Phenomena only ‘exist’ in the mind that perceives them.”
– Tibetan Book of The Dead
“No thought of form can be impressed upon original substance without causing the creation of that form. A human being is a thinking center and can originate thought.”
– Wallace D. Wattles
Dare to dream (and care for one another).
With heartfelt regards,

Hello Julia,
Thanks for taking the time to comment. Yes, the quotes definitely challenge our materialism paradigm of reality. I hope they haven’t been upsetting. I’m attaching one of my videos that may be of some help (only if you’re interested). The point that I make in the video is also mentioned in my book–it’s related to eyesight. I also believe that another video on my YouTube channel entitled “In Depth Law of Attraction” could also provide useful information.
Sincerely,
Art

Thank you Art. Not upsetting at all. I try to keep my eye focused within. It’s only when I focus outside myself that I loose sight of myself and forget who I Am! 😊

You’re very welcome, Julia. I’m glad that it wasn’t upsetting in any way. It’s understandable about what you mentioned. The apparent outer world and our conditioning (to believe we are the person) is very strong. The point I mention about how eyesight functions remains a strong anchor for me. Perhaps it will be for you, too.
