All that is, He contains within Himself like thoughts: the world, Himself, the All. Therefore, unless you make yourself equal to God, you cannot understand God; for like is not intelligible save to the like. Make yourself grow to a greatness beyond measure; by a leap [of intellect], free yourself from the body; raise yourself above all time, become Eternity; then you will understand God.

Believe that nothing is impossible for you; think yourself immortal and capable of understanding all, all arts, all sciences, the nature of every living being. Mount higher than the highest height; descend lower than the lowest depth. Draw into yourself all sensations of everything created, fire and water, the dry and the moist, imagining that you are everywhere, on earth, in the sea, in the sky; that you are not yet born, in the maternal womb, adolescent, old, dead, beyond death. If you embrace in your thought all things at once-all times, places, substances, qualities, quantities-you may understand God

Experience shows that the spirit is nothing but awareness. Whoever has greater awareness has greater spirit… When the spirit becomes greater and passes beyond all bounds, the spirits of all things become obedient to it.

So to experience your reality as the creator of it, realize that where you are is the center of all that is occurring. This is what it means to be centered. When you think someone, something or somewhere else is the center of what's going on, you are giving your power away to the external world. Move through your world with the consciousness that you are the center of the universe and you will find that you don't really have to shift much as things and people around you shift themselves instead.





Awakening as One

Baba Kuhi of Shiraz

In the market, in the cloister-only God I saw. In the valley and on the mountain-only God I saw. Him I have seen beside me oft in tribulation; In favour and in fortune-only God I saw. In prayer and in fasting, in praise and contemplation, In the religion of the Prophet-only God I saw. Neither soul nor body, accident nor substance, Qualities nor causes-only God I saw. Opened mine eyes and by the light of His face around me In all the eye discovered-only God I saw. Like a candle I was melting in his fire; Amidst the flames outflashing-only God I saw. Myself with mine own eyes I saw most clearly, But when I looked with God's eyes-only God I saw. I passed away into nothingness, I vanished, And so, I was the All-living-only God I saw.

Di pasar, di kaki lima hanya Tuhan ku lihat. Di lembah dan di gunung-hanya Tuhan kulihat. Dia telah aku lihat di sampingku ketika dalam kesusahan; Dalam pertolongan dan dalam keberuntungan-hanya Tuhan yang ku lihat. Dalam doa dan puasa, dalam pujian dan tafakur, Dalam agama Nabi-nabi - hanya Tuhan yang aku lihat. Baik tubuh maupun jiwa, kemalangan juga, zat Kualiti atau Tuhan menyebabkan-satunya yang saya lihat. Dibuka tambang mata dan cahaya wajah-Nya di sekitar saya Dalam semua mata mencari Tuhan-satunya yang saya lihat. Seperti lilin aku mencair dalam api itu; tengah api outflashing Tuhan-satunya yang saya lihat. Diriku dengan mataku sendiri aku melihat paling jelas, Tetapi ketika aku melihat dengan mata Tuhan Allah-satunya yang saya lihat. Aku meninggal dunia menjadi kehampaan, aku lenyap, Dan jadi, aku adalah Allah All-hidup-satunya yang saya lihat
