Principle Of Mentalism – The Universal Mind
All is mind; the universe is mental – Cosmic Consciousness
The principle of mentalism is the first among seven hermetic principles which explains the existence and nature of the universal mind it states that; “All is mind; the universe is mental”
“As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.”
“I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.”
- Max Planck
That was the quote from the founder of quantum mechanics (the science of sub-atomic particles), after many years and extensive observations he concluded that consciousness is the governing agency and not matter as we have thought, which suggests the existence of universal mind or cosmic consciousness
What does it means?
Let’s first look on the meaning of mind; It is an element that makes a person or something being aware of; it is our mind that makes use define who we are, it gives us the ability to differentiate what to eat and what not to eat, create culture, etc..
This is to say that there is a cosmic consciousness, where by there are universal laws and principle to how things are and why they are the way they are, and if one is able to connect to this universal mind they are able to understand these laws clearly because all is one Universal mind.
According to scientific point of view there are living things and non-living things where living things are the ones that have brain and therefore makes them have mind; however in here we will attempt to take it further than just the ordinary point of view which is to say that the entirety of the Universe is conscious itself.
The Universal Mind – Cosmic Consciousness
Universal mind or all is mind refers to the fact that the entire Universe is conscious in nature and there is never such such thing as matter; this is to say, what human perceive as material is only a mental interpretation of; for example if I hold a glass of cold water I feel its weight, temperature and texture and at the same time I would see its color, shape and texture; the mechanism behind this is that everything that is happening and perceived by the observer it only happening inside a human brain, the sensory nerves from the muscle, and skin carries the signal to the brain and the brain interprets what it is, the same with the images we see, our eyes don’t actually see but rather receives light signal sends it to the appropriate part of the brain and the brain interprets, so the Universe is more mental than physical as we imagined and it clearly points the existence of universal mind which can be phrased as cosmic consciousness or universal mind , the consciousness and universe are one in the same .
All is Mind, All is One
If i take the tiny droplet of water out of the ocean it would still be water just in a small quantity, humans have the tendency of seeing the separation or dual nature in things which isn’t the case. Say for example what do you really own?, there is an immensity and extreme connectivity, vast networks within all living things and so called non-living things in such a way the separation is such an illusory. It is by this very networks of all sentient beings makes the existence of this universal mind. An insect may instinctual fly to collect some nectar from a flower but in the larger scale it is helping in pollination, while in a grand-scale they are feeding the entire planet.
The Vibratory Nature in the Universal Mind
We all know that our physical bodies are composed of tiny molecules such as DNA, proteins etc. which are not visible to human eyes even the living cells are only visible under a microscope, the same with the large objects such as solar system, milky way and galaxies, in the visible spectrum our eyes can only see seven lights (from the red to ultra-violet rays) but there are more such as radio waves, gamma rays, x-rays and many more, in this band of light waves we are unable to detect what is beyond the perception of our physical senses. Our physical bodies within the nature of reality extends beyond what our senses are capable of perceiving, this clearly explains that our minds are confined in a certain frame of reality and we are unable to see what is beyond, which can be related to gravity, within the gravitational force we are only able to live within the planetary gravitational field and without and escape velocity we can’t escape it, what if there is a mind gravity that keeps our mind within this plane of reality?
The material existence is itself mental, the scientists have postulated that there are small vibrating stings that makes up a matter so it is the interaction between different forces that makes matter appear to be matter, these forces are caused by vibration or in other words they are wave in nature that have different frequencies. It is this variations of frequencies dictated by the Universal mind produces different types of materials that our mind interprets as physical, If our bodies were only composed of pure light and beyond the visible spectrum we wouldn’t be able to hold the object we currently have we would walk through walls, sink down into our neighbors roof etc.
In the double slit experiment it shows that the electrons behaves as as wave and particle depending on the observer, which suggests that it is the observer who defines the reality. therefore if one changes their perception they will also change the physical matter. It is this very frequency of vibration that is altered by consciousness.
