Let’s Go Home to the House of Life – 5

What Brings the Phenomenal World into Being: What the Buddha Really Wanted to Convey

“Others exist. But in truth, they do not.
All there is, is my own consciousness.”

Anyone who can nod at this can be said to have already gained enlightenment about the principle of the world that runs through every dimension.

For those who don’t understand, I’ll put it more gently, in words a little closer to the physical heart.

Ready?

“Whatever others may think, say, or do, it does not interfere with me.
For none of it in any way violates my essential nature.
Therefore it can be said that ‘there are no others.’
All there is, is the feelings I have sensed and reacted to in others, and the vision I have painted with ‘the Light of Life’ of how I wish to be.
Therefore, my world is created by me.”

Someone who can think that way is someone who, in the age of divine civilization that will soon descend upon the earth, can freely use the power of life and create a brilliant destiny.

There may be few people right now who can declare, “It doesn’t matter what others think, what they say, or what they do.”

That’s because many people end up handing over the authority of their own consciousness to others.

Do you understand what “handing over the authority of your own consciousness to others” means?

It’s the figure of someone who shifts the “manufacturer’s liability” for their own destiny onto others and abandons their own responsibility.

With this fact in mind, take a look around the world, yourself included.

As an objective fact, there are many people, organizations, and countries that end up leaving the responsibility for creating their destiny with others, aren’t there?

It’s like ignoring your own cooking skills and blaming the other person: “If you think the food I made doesn’t taste good, it’s because there’s something wrong with your tongue.”

Even if, by trying to gain the upper hand through such an unreasonable route, things were to go the way you wanted, it’s like borrowing money from a loan shark to do what you want, so afterward you’ll end up paying it back little by little.

They say rise and fall is the way of the world, right? That’s what it means.

That’s “what happens when the level of consciousness is stuck fast to the physical body,” and it has nothing to do with people who live expressing the consciousness of the spirit body and divine body in the physical body.

Seeing Facts as Facts

So you have nothing to fear.

Your heart is connected straight to the source of life, and though you’re sometimes swept away by memories, you quickly return to a heart aimed toward the essence of life.

Ahead of you, just as you are, lies a future full of creativity that makes everything possible.

If you can see facts simply as facts, without mixing in emotion, your consciousness can be said to be standing in a bird’s-eye view.

As I said before, it means returning to the self in the dimension one level higher, the deeper dimension, and living by expressing it.

The house of life lies several stages deeper than that, but as long as you live that way, returning to the self that is life itself is only a matter of time.

So you just need to practice being naturally aware of the tremendous power life has and expressing it.

For that, it’s good to practice making relaxed breathing and a heart of total gratitude your standard equipment.

As long as you do that, divinity will seep out naturally from deep in your heart, even without trying to force it out.

Seeing facts objectively as facts isn’t only about the state of this world; it’s best to look mainly at the reality of your own heart, so don’t forget that.

Because, as I’ve said many times, the thoughts that get snagged and stirred up by the world outside your body plainly express your relationship with yourself.

When your inside is in order, a person no longer has their heart disturbed by others or the world.

So when your emotions are disturbed, just think that the cause is that the people inside you are out of harmony.

And look at that fact.

If you build a world of harmony in your inner universe like that, you’ll become a messenger who brings peace to this world, with a consciousness that has returned home to the house of life.
