Bonus Day 22 – I Am The Universe
“He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self.” — Bhagavad Gita
Message of the Day
Today is the bonus day of our 21-Day Meditation Experience. We are delighted to offer a special meditation to create a reverberation of awakening from your consciousness throughout the universe. This wave of awakening is your recognition that your core existence is the same as the core existence of everything and everyone in the universe. As you wake up to your universal status, you are sending a wake-up call to every sleepy being in the entire cosmos. But unlike a wave traveling outward from a dropped pebble in a pond, this wave of self-realization reaches the entire universe instantaneously. When pure awareness touches the depth of its own Being, it knows in a flash its own universality.
CENTERING THOUGHT
I am the universe.
SANSKRIT MANTRA
Aham Brahmasmi
I am the universe.
Journal Questions
As you contemplate the possibilities of this final spiritual realization, formulate a silent blessing you would like to send out to the universe. Write this blessing down in your journal.
Remember that while your essence is the same as the essence of the universe, the converse is true as well – the universe is in you. This means that the magnificence of your spiritual status can comfortably and gracefully fit into the commonplace events of your current life: making dinner, getting the mail, driving to work, or calling a sick friend. Enlightened people can be hidden in plain sight around you. Write down some wild speculations on people you know who might be enlightened.
Take some time to write about ways that you can continue your daily mindfulness and meditation practice.
