The Universe has feelings too

You must have heard from diverse sources that the Universe is an energy, made of atoms, heat, light, radiation, sound, electricity, and yes, yes, you get the gist! I’ve heard a lot of that too and it made good sense to me but only partial sense. There was something still missing, for me. So I had two choices- either adapt to this theory wholly and thus blindly; or put the thesis to a test by practising its principles sincerely and truly to accept the revelation.
As usual, I sat down in meditation to ground myself first ( I have talked about meditation in previous blogs). All my life I have loved the concept of God and believed that He/She loves me back too. But now, I wanted to try the new thesis by endeavouring to desensitise myself, to align with the Universe. While meditating, I tried to brain wash myself to accept that the Omni power had no emotions at all, so it couldn’t have cared about my emotions either. Believe me guys, I tried, really did, and it made me very sad and sadder.
To think that the benevolent mother nature was just an emotionless force of some kind, but who would give me what I desired, if I asked for it with true heart! What?! I couldn’t fathom this paradox. Isn’t the concept of Desire itself emotion bound? And hang on- How come this fire ball of force was benevolent if it felt nothing ? Benevolence is emotion. Why does it care what I desire? Care and desire – familiar feelings . Why would it allow me to align with its own frequency only through my feelings then? So, here was a reference to feelings again.
Considering another hypothesis- a desire with obsessive yearning, however sincere and deeply felt, wouldn’t be granted by the impersonal Universe, because it involves negative feelings. So why so much emphasis on positivity alone? After all positive and negative are both equal forces, regardless of the fact that they are opposite. More over isn’t positivity and negativity both emotion derived states of mind? I had so many questions wrestling within my mind to jump the queue to get an answer. So, I started with a logical sequence.
‘What or who I think is ME?’ I was happy with the explanation that came through from within- ‘I am a creation of five collated nature elements – Air, Water, Earth, Space and Fire.’ The Universe, so far, was scoring as science of Physics, I thought.
This promoted me to find out, ‘ Who has created me?’ I got this one – God, Karta Purakh ( The all doer), the Universe, call it by any name but ‘that’ created me! Now I was getting somewhere- how exciting!
I had another mystery to solve now – ‘ Where have the five elements come from?’ It was obvious, ‘From the Universe.’ I had some of my answers, and now I had to put the jig saw puzzle together to understand whether the Universe is only a ball of feelingless energy, or there is more to it.
My belief reminded me that I am created by the Universe and out of the elements in the Universe ( though Universe has a lot more, but its a topic for another time). So, it explained a lot about the energy and force within me as a human being, which many sources also define as ‘human potential’ and therefore teach us to ‘believe in own self’. Yes, understood and I agree with these sources. Everything was still moving towards the theory of Physics. Sciences may also add six other elements attributing towards 99% of my physical constitution. I accept this as fact too.

But something within me poked to realise that I am more than just the five nature elements. What was this ‘more than‘?
I strongly felt that it was my ability to think and feel; so, it was my Mind making me more than just a concoction of chemicals and elements. The Law of Attraction works through the balance of ‘like attracts like’; a positive state of mind is a must before even reaching the stage of desiring and one must feel the happiness in the very bones, to manifest a desire. No room for negativity – I am a great fan and follower of this principle. After all, it has been said inexhaustibly that our thoughts make our feelings which become our actions, and a personality is thus born. It absolutely resonates with me that we need to think positive and feel happy all the time; so a solid foundation is laid to build our desire on. But why need the emotion of happiness for this?
The consequent finding is an offspring of my meditative experience mating with my feelings settled in the sub-conscious. The philosophy of ‘ happy mind aligning with the frequency of the Universe to manifest desires’, meant that the Universe responds to feelings ! Fantastic! It deduces that the Universe is more than just a science of Physics! This was MY truth.
I have also heard the analogy of ‘electricity’ been used to desensitise the Universe. It states that Universe is like electric current that is constantly running and its up to you to plug in to charge whatever gadget ( Desire in other words) you would like to operate, not caring whether its the fan you desire to switch on or charge your mobile phone. True, very true, but once again, only partially true. If Mind is real, our Thoughts are real, if thoughts are real then Feelings are real and if feelings are real, the Sub-conscious is real and if conscious exists at any level, then Morals are real too. Yes, Universe will bless us with our desire that is felt and visualised at the very sub-conscious level, but I doubt that the Universe will sign a blank cheque either.
The Universe does not condone immorality, as per my belief. For example, if I desire with a conscious mind to render myself an abundant life even though I know the action towards it means depriving someone else, I can use any technique but doubt this desire will be fulfilled, and if it does somehow, it will only come with repercussions. I have lived enough to believe that this is true. If the desire is not ‘aimed’ at harming a fellow human being, or there is no ‘conscious’ negative action towards fulfilling own dream, then it’s another matter, like in case of buying a lottery ticket. In other words, no malice should be intended. Human beings choose their own karma and reap what they sow. So it makes complete sense- No room for negativity if you desire manifestation.
Who put this design in place? My answer- the Universe. I categorically accept that the Universe is fair and impartial and has laid the rule of ‘like attracts like’, which conjectures our feelings beget what we receive in reality. All true; however, Universe is impartial not because of lack of feelings, rather, it grants everything in reciprocation to the feelings with which a desire has been conceived. Universe is fair because there are moral ground rules to desire and manifestation. So, morals play their part in what we desire and what action we invest towards achieving it.
Now, the juxtaposition of two conflicting thoughts was resolved for me : On one hand, the Universe was an abstract powerful ball of air with all the forces listed above; and on the other hand Universe gave us what we thought and how we felt! The truth is the combination of both these notions, and still involves some more revelations added to get the whole truth. Everyone receive their own truth from within through further self analysis and soul search.
How we feel, raises our vibration, connecting/ aligning us with the frequency of the Universe, who reciprocates with similar feelings by blessing us with manifestation of our desires. Truth is so simple once you’ve kicked the pebbles out of the way. I opened my eyes at this point and said, ” Thank you, thank you, thank you Universe for creating me in your own image. You are my mother and my father. You do care about my needs and bless me with your choicest gifts – I know you love me too!”
With this I let all my tears shower me to baptism of true belief – ‘The Universe feels too!’ Fantastic! Now I could meditate, I could connect to my sub conscious as my Universe lived there, inside me and knew about my desires even before I could reach them at that depth. I actually started believing in my desires, so manifestation was the only common-sense conclusion. I have never been as happy as I am now; and best part of it- I don’t have to pretend to be happy and act out the ‘as if’ anymore. But more about the ‘as if’ part in my next blog.
It has been my very personal resolution for the past quite some time- never to accept any theory blindly, and I do not hesitate to ask a question and test a theory, to know the truth first hand – then, and only then, I would submit to a philosophy. But when one submits, one must stick to it.
As I mentioned above- this is MY experience and MY truth. But as always, I wanted to share this truth with the fellow pilgrims who too are on their way to the shrine of Manifestation. The aim here was not to challenge any theories or theorists but to build up on those thesis for seeing the truth from another dimension.
In my peace, I thank you for your blessing my Nirankar( formless and Omnipresent power) , my Karta Purakh ( All doer), my Universe of more sciences than have been discovered so far. Hence, spiritualism is an ongoing journey. Stay blessed.
