The Secrets of the World, Insights from Mystics That Will Leave You Speechless

Discovering the Illusion of Reality, Embracing Connection, and Unlocking Your Natural State of Love

I will share with you some of the most frightening revelations about our reality, as perceived by mystics. Upon discovering and preparing to divulge this information in the following article, I underwent a period of melancholy. However, emerging from that phase, I experienced an empowering realization unlike any I had ever known before. This newfound understanding came about as I took full responsibility for these truths, leading to a complete transformation of my life. Notably, countless clients and individuals who had this epiphany have also undergone profound personal growth by embracing the truths presented in this article. Throughout history, numerous mystics have arrived at certain realizations that are often overlooked in education and society. It is my belief that these truths about ourselves are intentionally withheld, as individuals confined and disempowered within societal constructs are easier to manipulate and control. This might explain the lack of universal awareness surrounding these ideas. Additionally, I sometimes wonder if people simply choose to ignore the truth.

It's safer and more comfortable to remain in a limited mindset, to settle for uninspiring jobs and be trapped in a monotonous routine. The insights I share in this article draw inspiration from mystics like Neville Goddard, Eckhart Tolle, Osho, Sadhguru, and Alan Watts. These influential figures have left a profound impact on society and resonated deeply with people, transforming lives through their teachings and the energy they transmit.

One revelation that completely transformed my life is the understanding that reality is an illusion. While some may perceive this as a metaphor, I discovered that everything in our reality reflects our mental state. Our beliefs, thoughts, and emotions are mirrored back to us. This goes beyond the popular concepts of the law of attraction or the ideas presented in "The Secret." At a deeper level, it reveals that we are essentially divine beings connected to a universal source of energy, as emphasized by many mystics. We are all an integral part of this greater power.

Over time, society has misled us into believing that we are separate from the divine, encouraging us to worship an external entity instead of recognizing our own connection as a piece of the greater whole. It's possible that organized religion has been structured this way to keep us disempowered and searching outside ourselves, unaware that the truth lies within. Mystics have understood that reality is an illusion and that our beliefs shape our experiences. If we believe we are manipulated, we attract situations where manipulation occurs. If we believe love is scarce, we manifest a reality where we struggle to find like-minded individuals. Ultimately, reality holds no inherent meaning apart from the meaning we assign to it, influencing our lived experiences.

To illustrate this point, consider the placebo effect. When people believe a treatment will help them, it often does, even if the substance is inert. Conversely, if they believe something is harmful, it can have negative effects. Our mental state profoundly impacts our lives. For instance, a man with golf ball-sized tumors was deemed incurable by his doctor. However, upon discovering a drug that he believed could heal him, he took it, and the tumors miraculously vanished. Yet, when he later encountered conflicting information about the drug's efficacy, the tumors returned. By altering his mindset once again, convinced by his doctor that a higher dose existed, he was "cured" a second time, despite receiving only saltwater. Ultimately, his shifting beliefs and mindset affected his healing journey, resulting in waves of remission and relapse until his eventual demise.

Isn't it interesting how our beliefs shape our experiences and emotions? This is evident in cases of multiple personality disorder, where individuals shift between different personalities. For instance, there was a show called "The United States of Terror" that explored this phenomenon. When someone shifts from one personality to another, their behavior, preferences, and even physical conditions can change. This demonstrates that our perception of reality is influenced by our beliefs and identities.

This raises questions about the nature of reality and why such shifts occur. Every moment presents an opportunity for us to become a new version of ourselves. By recognizing our beliefs and the definitions we've adopted, we can understand that they are flexible and subject to change. Our perception of reality becomes more magical when we acknowledge its inherent fluidity. It's not necessary to create entirely new personalities, but rather to embrace the flexibility of reality.

I experienced a transformative moment in 2017 when I decided to become a full-time YouTuber. Despite initial doubts and challenges, I committed to making daily articles and acquiring new skills. This shift in identity became my reality, but it also revealed an important realization. The meaning we assign to our goals and achievements is subjective. When I reached a million subscribers on YouTube, I expected immense satisfaction, but I discovered that the meaning and fulfillment derived from it were purely mental projections. The experience was neutral until I attributed significance to it.

Although this realization initially felt empty, it allowed me to reframe my past experiences. For example, I reflected on the control and resistance I faced during my upbringing and realized that it had contributed to my personal growth and impact on others. By transforming the meaning, I assigned to these experiences, I found empowerment. Another pivotal moment came during my participation in the forensics debate in high school. Through engaging in debates where I had to argue for and against various topics, I learned that any position can be defended depending on perspective. The absence of inherent meaning, in reality, allows for multiple truths, depending on our viewpoints.

Everything in life is fundamentally neutral, apart from the meaning we give it. The internet offers countless perspectives and evidence supporting different beliefs, such as the Earth being flat. However, the shape of the Earth, though debated, doesn't significantly impact our daily lives. Similarly, our inner reality plays a crucial role in shaping our external experiences. The teachings of Neville Goddard emphasize the connection between our thoughts, beliefs, and the manifestation of our reality. Seeking validation and happiness externally, like chasing a million subscribers, is a futile pursuit compared to recognizing our inherent value and finding fulfillment in the present moment.

Philosophers like Alan Watts and Eckhart Tolle offer insights into the power of our mental patterns and beliefs. They suggest that our thoughts create our perception of reality and that transcending these patterns can lead to a deeper sense of presence and awareness. Rather than focusing solely on manifesting external desires, mystics encourage introspection and realizing that our relationships and experiences reflect our inner relationship with ourselves.

In conclusion, our beliefs shape our reality, and by understanding the flexibility of reality, we can find a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

When you consider the concept that everything is mental and everything is subjective, it becomes clear that our perception of reality is closely tied to our mind. For example, when we observe an object like for example a white remote, our mind interprets it and filters it as white. Our senses and experiences are all processed through the mind, similar to how it is portrayed in "The Matrix" movie. Unfortunately, in society, there is often a focus on seeking sensory pleasures and dopamine rushes, which can lead to a shallow pursuit of meaning. Some profound truths have been shared by mystics, such as the idea that reality is an illusion. In the book "Autobiography of a Yogi," the author shares encounters with enlightened individuals who could manifest things instantaneously or even return from the dead. The book also touches on the notion that life is a dream and encourages us to enjoy the experience while being aware of its temporary nature.

Letting go becomes easier when we acknowledge that attachment is a game we can never truly win. Even in long-lasting relationships, death eventually separates us. It's worth mentioning a belief in the Mormon religion where marriage is seen as eternal, extending beyond this lifetime. However, our souls are ancient and eternal, while this life is just a temporary human experience. Death is not the end, as mystics have demonstrated. I have personally explored this through plant medicine, experiencing mystical states that awakened me to the realization that I am currently dreaming, projecting my consciousness here. This realization has taught me to have more fun in life and not take everything so seriously. We have the unique opportunity in this human form to engage our senses and truly enjoy experiences like feeling the grass, hugging trees, savoring delicious food, connecting with others intimately, and interacting with animals. This earthly existence offers a different type of experience compared to higher dimensions.

While it's crucial to embrace the temporary nature of life and live in the present moment, we must also recognize that we are here to learn and grow. Treating life as if it will last forever can prevent us from fulfilling our potential. If you find yourself trapped in a job that drains your soul, it may be because you are playing a role that no longer aligns with who you truly are. Recognizing that you have the power to shift your reality and stepping into your authentic self can bring about profound changes. It's important to note that creating our reality involves both positive thinking and taking action. Merely taking action without addressing limiting beliefs and exploring our shadow self may not yield desired results. Conversely, thinking positively alone may not be sufficient if we haven't examined our own motivations and intentions. By combining empowering thoughts with intentional actions, we can transform our lives

In 2016, I contemplated becoming a YouTuber and envisioned the perfect life filled with money, abundance, and travel. I spent a lot of time dwelling on these thoughts. The truth is, it's a combination of factors. It's about the person you become during the journey. Your beliefs play a crucial role. If you truly believe something is possible, you're more likely to take action. Taking action becomes easier when you enjoy the process. However, if you believe that taking action is difficult and you just want quick wins without putting in the effort or learning anything, you won't achieve much. Winning the lottery, for example, may seem enticing, but it doesn't lead to personal growth or fulfillment. It's not about winning the lottery or gaining instant wealth; it's about the person you become and how your perspective changes. Relationships, personal growth, and contributing value to the world are more important than money. When I dreamt of having what I have now, I realized material possessions don't bring happiness. I value my relationships, friendships, and experiences more than money. Owning a luxurious car like a Lamborghini no longer appeals to me. The sound and image may be attractive, but once you become that person, you realize it doesn't fulfill you. Ultimately, love is the ultimate reality. It's our natural state of being. To experience love fully, we must let go of attachments, accept the past, stop trying to control life and embrace the present moment.

Resistance arises when we refuse to accept what is. By saying yes to the present moment, we find joy. Unconditional love extends to ourselves and others, regardless of circumstances or past mistakes. Forgiveness and letting go of attachments are essential for experiencing love. Mystics understand that reality is an illusion, and we are all connected. We are fragments of the divine consciousness. Embracing this understanding and letting go of limiting beliefs and attachments allows us to live a more magical life. Death is not the end, but a transformation into a new version of ourselves. We are spiritual beings having a temporary human experience, and we came here to embrace life fully. Suffering is part of the learning process and can lead to transformation when we take responsibility for our own suffering and observe our thoughts and beliefs. Our outer reality reflects our inner reality, so it's crucial to be aware of our thoughts and beliefs. Letting go is the key to raising our vibration to love and joy. It's like releasing a buoy in the ocean; when we let go of resistance and attachments, our natural state of love and joy rises to the surface.
