Founder, Dr. Masters’ Weekly Mystical Insights

Audio version read by Rev. Steven Lane Taylor, B.Msc.

A person remembers the past and wonders about the future. An older person thinks how quickly time has passed, and that it seemed just yesterday—perhaps even a moment ago—that they were as young as the youth they see around them.

Yes, as the expression goes, time seems to “fly by”—but does it? On the other hand, people describing some great moment of inspiration have said or written that it was as if “time stood still.”

How very precious is the freedom of independence from relying on anything outside of oneself!   Without such freedom, people often feel that their soul is being suffocated. This is due to the lack of breathing room to move, think, and feel life with the sense of liberty that comes from not being dependent on anything or anyone outside of oneself.

How many people today live lives of quiet, or at times, not so quiet desperation? How many people feel trapped by other people, or by conditions in their lives? How many feel this way, believing, for example, that they have no choice but to remain in some form of employment with which they feel very uncomfortable? How many feel that they are in a relationship with a spouse or significant other that they cannot abandon, even though they wish to, for fear of losing financial, emotional, or sexual support?

Simply put, when you look out at the physical Universe, you look into one level of Universal Mind Consciousness or the Mind of God. And, through the physical instruments of today’s science, the further out into the farthest reaches of the Universe you look, the deeper into your own consciousness you can enter.

The Biblical words, “as above, so below,” can be taken quite literally. It is a mystical reality that speaks the eternal truth that all life is One and the Same, and that ultimately there is but One Life everywhere present—be it in the vastness of what appears as outer space or in the more finite existence of a human. From the appearance of the tremendous mass of a star to the appearance of a pebble or a droplet of water, each comes from One Universal Life Consciousness manifesting as us all.

All Truth is contained in the consciousness of all human beings. The Ultimate State of Consciousness or Beingness, which is God’s Presence, is deeply imbedded in everyone’s unconscious mind. Within the deeper memory levels of the mind are memories of the past as well as memories of the future, which—despite the illusion of time—have already happened.

Whatever has been—is. Whatever will be—already is. Within the mind or consciousness contained within every human being is a doorway into the past and entrance to the future, each of which already is.
