Founder, Dr. Masters’ Weekly Mystical Insights

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone could have immediate happiness? Wouldn’t it be even more wonderful if that happiness would remain? The truth is that you—or anyone—can have immediate happiness that can be lasting, for it is a matter of consciousness.

Whoever first said that happiness is a state of mind was correct! If you are unhappy about yourself, your life, or anything for that matter, it is a change of consciousness that can turn despair and depression into happiness. You have the innate capacity to have a transforming consciousness—God—take over your mind, and immediately sublimate negative thought energy into positive, happy thought energy or consciousness.

The knowing and experiencing of God’s Presence is the greatest of all human experiences, as well as the most profound knowledge a person may possess. Down through recorded history, people have claimed to have experienced God’s Presence. Mystics through the centuries have had visions, which they say have either given them the fullness of God’s Presence experienced, or at least such inspired visionary glimpses of the divine as to suggest that the sum total of glimpses is the Presence of God. Experience of this kind is extrasensory in nature.

In an ordinary state of mind, the mind is only conscious of the outer five sense perceptions. The outer senses do not reveal God, except perhaps to a person who is witnessing beauty within nature, such as a glorious sunset or a beautiful flower, and associates the perceived beauty as having its source from God. To truly experience God, therefore, must be of an extrasensory nature.

Your life can be better if you have a commitment to God. Those who have truly worked their way up to a more fulfilling and satisfactory life have had a commitment of some sort, whether to oneself or to another. Commitment helps to keep one focused until one has achieved the desired goal.

When people are committed to something, they maximize their effort of time and energy. Maximizing one’s effort increases the likelihood that results will be achieved. Many individuals who have been committed to achieving goals have done so without a conscious thought about God. Yet, unconsciously, through commitment, they have drawn upon God’s Presence and Resources to achieve what they have desired.

Everything that exists physically—even ideas thought by those in physical embodiment—has a deeper, more profound energy existence.  The idea of thanks is part of a deeper, more Mystical Reality, as well.  A person who expresses thanks for any physical life experience is not, in the majority of cases, aware of the profoundness of his or her expression.  A person expressing thanks to God may have little, if any, awareness of the deeper significance of such an expression.  This is because, unless a person has been blessed with real Mystical Awareness, giving thanks is an expression of limited, personal ego identity. 

It may be that when giving thanks to God, there is a divide of consciousness or awareness between personal ego identity and Universal Identity, or God. Because of such a divide imagined by the personal ego, the full Mystical Reality of the idea of thanks is lost in the myriad of personal ego subterfuges.  When the personal ego gives thanks to God, the ego is one thing or identity, and God is another identity.
