The Universal Mind

“It’s not that the senses are the problem, it’s that we don’t know how to use our senses. …you don’t leave your real body behind, which is the sensation inside all of us, right now: The dark, grainy texture inside our fingers, at our fingertips.

…Sensation is the bedrock of our being, it’s the most primordial form of consciousness. And when we go into incubation, into the darkness of our own sensation, which takes us down into this vast, infinite, inner body, which starts being our own inner body but it ends up being the inner body of the Universe.

You go inside your own sensation and you discover that there is only one sensation.

Your sensation is everybody else’s sensation…

Your sensation is the sensation of the Earth.

This is how we feel, this is how we are compassionate, how we resonate, through the sensation inside us, which is the bedrock of intuition, of consciousness, of experience, of everything.” — Peter Kingsley

Everything in existence participates in the Universal Mind, in spite of our partial optic on things that sees mainly differences but not the commonalities. The important thing here is to experience this fact, not simply believe it. It’s more than an idea. It requires a prepared mind to see its functioning.
