We are Spiritual Beings having a
Human Experience. If we concede to human
nature, we resign ourselves to being less than we really are.
Cynthia Davidson, excerpt from Ultimate Reality card
(cards, stones, posters & more available via www.thewisdomwheel.com)
So, how about doing a big reality check with me over the next ten days? Your reality, my reality, our reality, the Big Picture, the macro and the micro, how much reality are we dealing with? If you want your reality to improve, you need to change your perception of it and your relationship with it.
Ultimate Reality includes everything, what some call the All That Is, Absolute or Infinite Reality. I like to imagine it as a vast playing field, far grander than our physical senses can appreciate. By realizing we are spiritual beings having a human experience, we can free ourselves from the ego tyranny of merely ‘human nature’ and enter that playing field.
Ultimate Reality is not limited by time or space. It is spiritual and energetic. It is the souls realm, where we can comprehend the Sacred Oneness it All.
There are so many levels of human and universal consciousness to explore within Ultimate Reality. To do this we have to expand and evolve; mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Together, with all our combined thoughts, feelings and intentions, we are constantly reshaping and recreating this Ultimate Reality. Fear is counterproductive and contracting when facing such vast wholeness, but responsibility and Compassion are welcome.
What is your part to play during this lifetime?
Where is your place in all of this?
Bring up the subject of Ultimate Reality with friends and family this week, and talk about what happens when people refuse to face reality. Why is denial so popular?
Whether it's conspiracy theories, propaganda, the lack of facts, education or the easily swayed emotions that get in the way, why don't you volunteer to speak up on behalf of Ultimate Reality for the next ten days at least?
From the swirl of stars and planets, in
faraway galaxies, to the whorls at the end of our fingertips, the Circle repeats
itself, endlessly right down to the atomic and genetic levels. These wheels within Wheels, these concentric, interlocking spirals of energy hint at the style and substance of Ultimate Reality. Here's some wisdom to get your conversations started with others.
Australian aborigines describe Ultimate
Reality as the Dream Time. This is where the Laws that govern their lives come
from, a Time beyond any individual lifetime. The Rainbow Serpent guards the
Dream Time.

To a large degree
‘reality’ is whatever the people who are around at the time agree to.
Milton Miller
To deny
the reality of things is to miss their reality;
to assert
the emptiness of things is to miss their reality.
The more
you talk and think about it, the further astray you wander from the truth.
Stop
talking and thinking and there is nothing you will not be able to know.
Hsin Hsin Ming
The emotional virus lives and thrives
in the gap between expectations and perceived reality.
Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer, From Chaos to Coherence
One can never really give a proof of
the reality of anything; reality is not something open to proof, it is
something established. It is established just because proof is not enough. It
is this characteristic of language, at once indispensable and inadequate, which
shows the reality of the external world. Most people hardly ever realize this,
because it is rare that the very same man thinks and puts his thought into
action...
Simone Weil , LP, p. 72-3
Art is
our opportunity to get things right. To tell the truth. To find the ultimate
reality.
Jeanette Winterson
Man keeps
searching for a truth that fits his reality. Given our reality, the Truth
doesn't fit.
Werner Erhard
The
supreme experience is staggering, enrapturing, blissful, and inspiring, but at
the same time inexplicable and ungraspable by the intellect. The experience is
supremely illuminating because it reveals the grandeur, sublimity and the
eternal nature of the soul, but beyond that -- what? All that is beyond lies
out of the reach of the intellect, and hence cannot be translated into any
language devised by the mind.
Gopi Krishna
To
surrender to God’s will is to surrender to the truth that nothing other than
the Ultimate Reality is permanent… The pathway to Enlightenment via radical
truth is demanding and requires the surrendering of all belief systems. Only
then does the Ultimate Reality reveal itself as the sought-after “I” of the
Supreme
Dr. David Hawkins, American psychiatrist,
physician, researcher, mystic and pioneer in the fields of consciousness
research and spirituality
When light is visible and organized
into concrete objects, reality is material.
When light contains feeling, thought
and intelligence, reality is quantum.
When light is completely unmanifest,
with no qualities anyone can measure, reality is virtual.
Deepak Chopra in his book How To Know God
Each
religion has its own method of realization whereby the ultimate reality, the
final self, the integrating principle is reached.
D. T. Suzuki in his
book What Is Shin Buddhism?
In ten days we'll take up the Law of Pure Potential, until then, enjoy your glimpses into Ultimate Reality.
