Source 5  Connecting to the Universe

•   Your Universe

.».  Opening
     Your connection to the Universe is about understanding and expanding your relationship with the Universe, connecting into the Universe consciously and through emotion.  You may start to notice Source 4 andSource 5 have a deep connection.  The intention is you understanding and nurturing your connection to the Universe.
 
.».  To Practice
» You to the Universe; what are my options.
       Rather than “tell me what to do?” look to the Universe for your options.  A list in a sense through meditation, connection.  The idea of the list expands to possibilities through connection.  The easy determination is “this is what’s possible”, the reality is this is what’s provided, realizing you attract in through consciousness.  Don’t look to the list of what comes to you (through practice) as all encompassing, these are the first options.
       Your level of consciousness will affect your situations; you subconsciously limiting and promoting you.  One item regularly not on the list is raise consciousness.  This is your part of the journey for which you can receive help with while not directly being requested to do so.  Align your will with asking for help (S6. Ask for Help) rather than being told.
       Similarly you may have noticed how; what are my options is not phrased as a question.  You don’t ask it as a question to be told, you ask it as a request.  You are already on the journey this way (in progress).  All that’s left (to do) is your action rather than waiting on something external to come to you.  You could see the space you are in being the big difference.  Asking it as a question to be told you could be in a place of neediness, desperation and possible fear.  As a request coming from a place of confidence, calm and serene.  Yes I’d like to change my life, share with me the possibilities of the Universe from the heart (S4. From the Heart).
      Note:  One realization you might make is by taking the time to practice you are breaking the old patterns.  Even if the practicing is not that good.  It’s the time spent that shows you can do this (E2. Alignment, I can do this).

» The Universe is an attraction model.
       To declare:  Then this is how I want to be…
       If you are willing to accept this as truth then realize how you are in each moment is what you are attracting in.  Include grateful in your definition of how and you will enjoy more of life.  Know grateful (S9. Gratitude) is different than thankful to embrace this idea deeply.
       How often is fearful part of how you are?  Imagining the idea of attraction realizing that when fearful you are attracting in fearful, this thought can increase the stress and bring in even more fear until you realize you are controlling it all and change.
    Note:  I recently found myself out with 4 or 5 others, all doing something we enjoy.  There were also a few people walking by interacting with us.  Stepping outside of the situation I noticed we each had something to complain about even though our immediate situation was pretty good.  I don’t mean to discredit the big picture (it’s important too), I’m not saying “we shouldn’t have been complaining”.  It was simply an observation, noticing how each of us move through our day and how the world affects us, the excuses we use to justify certain things and the part money plays in our lives in allowing and as a challenge.  Rather than a judgement the moment for me was one of personal growth on how I would like to be through each situation (S5. Situations).

.».  Expressions
Interacting with the Universe:
» What is the will of the Universe?
       To change to create to expand.
       What is the will of you?  Match your will (S11. Your Will) to the will of the Universe, this constitutes an exchange flow of energy (connection) between you and the Universe.  Direct that change towards consciousness and you have taken an even deeper step to the void.
       Note:  The will of the Universe is slightly different than the intention of the Universe (which is raising consciousness).  You could contemplate this difference momentarily to better understand each along with how you align with the will and intention of the Universe.
» The Universe will not do it that way.
       You may be willing to sacrifice yourself to help others, to create.  The Universe will not (will not sacrifice you to help others).  First believe the Universe is infinitely abundant then believe there is a possible solution beyond you sacrificing yourself for something, someone.  In time you will move away from this type of thinking, these types of situations.  Along the journey embrace this Expression as part of your initial foundation.
       Note:  We can likely easily think of situations where one has sacrificed for others.  We might think of them as heroes and honor them.  Sometimes when these situations occur it’s the result of a past cost (S5. Cost).  As life unfolds we live it in an imperfect way, that’s the journey unfolding and improving, ever changing.
       This can include not sacrificing yourself to learn a lesson, evolve.  Most of what we do is to evolve through pain (or not evolve and just live in pain).  This is not the will of the Universe.  It’s possible to notice (S9. Notice) and grow through awareness  (S1. Awareness).  It’s worth mentioning how working for something is different than sacrificing yourself.  How well you work is a factor too.
       Note:  For years I used the pain to try and pull myself out of mediocrity.  In general it rarely worked.  Small progress here and there but the underlying pain was still there.  It took my will to pull me out of a declining situation, to grow and release the pain.
» Don’t create negative scenarios in order for the Universe to have pity on you to receive. 
       This will not work, note the word will (Your Will).  True too don’t give the Universe an ultimatum.
» You may at times feel compelled to ask the Universe for something and promise something in return. 
       It does not work this way either.  The Universe is not reacting (at all) to your promises.
» You don’t need to ask please.
       The Universe does not require you to ask please.  Demanding which could be seen as the opposite of please is not necessary either (and likely yields an ultimatum).  As you move beyond need (S10. I Am Without Need) you will move beyond please as well.
       Note:  Ultimatums, promises and please (plus thank you and sorry) are seen as  unnecessary declarations as they relate to the process (E1. Unnecessary Declarations).
» You will get (receive) no sympathy from the Universe.
       The Universe will not feed the ego (period).  Think about that, in your most difficult moment when looking for sympathy all you get is you (probably pain).  Change your mindset and the Universe opens up.  It would be easy to blame God in this moment and feel abandoned too.
       Look for support (from the heart) rather than sympathy (S3. Support, The support and the work are unrelated as long as you are looking for one as payment for the other).
       Note:  Sometimes after these moments of blame and feeling abandoned you may find clarity.  It’s analogous to having a “good cry” and then feeling better.  Eventually you are to move away from battling with yourself and feel life, then it’s simpler.
       The difficult part to recognize is that you probably don’t see it as looking for sympathy.  When you see it as need (S10. Need) “I need this to happen”, you likely are sympathy seeking and there can be blame too.  Living the victim mentality (S2. Victim) is an example of looking for sympathy (from others, from the Universe and God).
       You can be blunt for a moment; “yeah this situation sucks”, this is not necessarily looking for sympathy, this can be to realize the severity of the moment (in your perspective) and create a starting point to move forward from.
» The Universe will not reward victim, sympathy seeking behaviors.
       Empathy is beyond sympathy.
»Take a chance on me (You to the Universe).
       + That is a given.
       The Universe will never give up on you.  If it seems as if it has look within (S11. Natural Environment).
» The Universe will not support the ego.
       There is no grey area here.  Miracles happen yet not from the Universe when relating to the ego.  This is the part God plays in each of our lives beyond the mechanism of the Universe.
       Note:  You may question why some (like leaders) get sympathy (energy in a sense) from others to do what could be construed as negative actions.  Because they are receiving sympathy from others egos, from them (S2. Them).  This idea of the weak minded who contribute to the continuation of the ego.
» Don’t fight the mechanism, don’t think the mechanisms.
       Let (allow) the mechanisms (of the Universe) do their job.  Don’t fight the mechanisms don’t think the mechanisms, let the frustration (S1. Frustration) move you.  The Universe is in movement, it interacts with you through these mechanisms at that base or lower level.
       Fear (as a mechanism) brings you into presence, yet it can just as easily distract.  It’s all built into the way we interact with the Universe.  The lower level mechanisms usually involve pain of one form or another.  It’s not that the Universe is using pain to motivate, quite the opposite.  The mechanism of the Universe offers to you the option to grow beyond the use of pain, beyond the mechanism (itself).  In our minds we might think of it as a proactive or reactive model.  Practically when we tend to our lives proactively the trend is towards less issues.  As we live always reacting to situations (and blaming) we invite in more issues.  Yet you can’t fool the Universe either, some are overly proactive due to fear (in this case a version of worry).
       Note:  You could realize the difference similarly like how it is between preparedness and worry.

The Consciousness of You and the Universe:
» + Connect to the Universe Consciously.
       This is the only way.  You are always interacting with the Universe (as you are part of the Universe).  The differentiation to make is interact or connect, can you feel that? 
       Note:  Me: Write this process consciously.  Perhaps you can tell when I have and have not?  I didn’t set out to create this work and wasn’t perfect when I started (or ever).  Yet it is of my view that this process holistically is aimed towards consciousness.
» Think about the idea of being a good employee to the Universe.
       Just like in life you have rights and like a company the Universe has a plan for you to carry out.  The Universe’s success and your success are intimately connected.  With consciousness being the how you are to be that employee and your evolving being the success.  Notice how both these are specifically about you.  You are both the company and the employee in the scope of the Universe.
       Note:  The plan the Universe has for you is not set, it’s more of a framework to operate within.  The foundation you create for your life dictates the amount of energy (life) you can hold (S4. Energy).
» The Universe doesn’t want you to do anything.
       The Universe raises it’s consciousness as you raise your consciousness.  This is an energy exchange, the flow of energy.
       The Universe doesn’t even want you to raise your consciousness.  The Universe expands through consciousness yet to want this would be closer to need and the Universe doesn’t need anything (including not needing to raise consciousness).  When you attach to need (S10. I Am Without Need) you disassociate with the intention of creation (proportionately).
       Note:  You could loosely say the only thing the Universe want’s is you to be happy.  In the context of the Practice it would steer more towards Joy (E3. Joy).  Joy in the practice is closely related to your relationship with God, interacting with God.  Here in this Topic we are focusing more on the Universe and use the term of happy.  Read as the Universe wanting you to be happy, realizing it’s not a want it’s a mechanism.
» The Universe has no expectation of you.
       There is nothing you need to do (to move forward).  Space is the lack of something, there is no need in space (S11. Space).  See how space is stillness is space.
              + Space -> Stillness -> Space.
» Align with the direction of the Universe.
       Otherwise you are fighting the very thing you live in.
       Note:  Receive those opportunities when they come.
» The Universe doesn’t care did you fail or succeed.
       Did you put your heart into it, were you fearless in your attempt.  That’s the emotion, connection, that’s consciousness, that’s receiving (to receive as an action).  So one way to feel your emotion (S5. To Emotion) to the Universe is to put your heart into it, what ever it may be (S4. Come From the Heart).
       Note:  Reading this I had a big sigh, head dipped and I said to (myself) “no” for a lot of my time these past years.  There was more fear than heart driving (S5. Driver) my actions.  Yet I committed to this work.  I could have done more over the that time, yet looking back there was more success then I had thought, this is usually the case.
       See how it’s not quantity, it’s not quality (of the outcome), it’s the commitment.  Commitment of your heart.  Relates to succeeding at the expense of yourself, this is not a success, connects with trust (S3. Supporting Yourself, Trust).

Action, Choice:
» Trust the Universe.
       There are many wonderful Topics and then Expressions to this Practice.  Though it’s hard to pick the top 5 or anything like that I would say if you can trust (S10. Trust) the Universe and have faith (S10. Faith) in God you can go a long way in this life.
» There is no limit.
       To the lessons, to the opportunities.  If (when) you missed one your openness determines the next one.  It may not be instantaneous yet they are there.
» Universe I’m here…
       Can you hear the Universe answering back I’m here.  Just listen… (S7. Living Meditation, Just Listen).
» Force.
       One way the Universe interacts with your surroundings (through force).  Force is sometimes viewed as “make you do something” but also seen as energy (by definition) relating to action (S5. Action).
              » The Universe is Energy.  Realize this to engage the force.
» Each one of us has the power within us to make the choice or not to be a contributor to the Universe.
       What does it mean to contribute?
       + To what degree you contribute, through connection.
       This is your (S5. Choice).
» Show the Universe that you are willing to receive more.
       Managing excitement is one way.  When something good has happened be with it in the moment rather than burning yourself out with future expectations.  Showing the Universe you are able to receive will allow you to receive more.  This is the opening up of space to receive (S11. Space).  It’s not only excitement that quells the receiving eventually you realize it’s the thoughts that are the block (you control it all).
       Show this through emotion and connection? 
       + Action too.
       Let, (make) this be your mantra.
» You are the balance, choice, will.
       The Universe will (can) give you as much as you open to, you control it all.  You are the balance to it all, you are the balance to it all.  The Universe is the hose and the supply you control the direction and flow (rate, pace).
       Note:  I wrote this with the example that had I woke early one morning and went right out rather than staying in, receiving some part of this work that I might have then “missed” that part.  This Expression says no, you have a say in how it works, in how you interact or connect with the Universe.  Allow the Universe to flow through you and the timing will be (right).
» You do the work and you receive.
       It’s not necessary for you to then give back.  Giving back is your choice.  The connection is not based on lack, it’s infinite.
       » You control it all.

Guidance:
» Move from “ready” to signs to creating with the Universe.
       First answers and questions.  Next solutions for life.  Then interconnectedness with the Universe where you are giving and receiving with the Universe, creating, changing.  Answers fix problems, solutions (S1. Solutions) change your life, both are necessary or good in that moment (analogy to giving someone fish or teaching them to fish, both have there place, right moment).  Connects with S3. Guidance, Eventually the guidance becomes a feeling.
» Share your intention with the Universe, be open to what unfolds.
       To share your intention you first will have an intention.  What is your intention (S5. Intention)?
       Note:  When your intention becomes a feeling… living happens.
» When it’s not happening the ego wants you to say; “damn the Universe, I’ll do it (all) myself”.  You don’t need to.
» When imagination hears something…
       Listen until they follow…
       Words?
       + Resources.
       Follow that spark through to resource. 
       When can also be seen as where, as in the place (the void) where imagination is listening.
       Note:  The recurring theme is just listen.  I at times would become frustrated with the process but in checking in could I say I was listening or doing the work, being the work?

The Exchange of Energy:
» The work is about the exchange flow of energy between (You) and the Universe.
       You are part of the Universe and it’s energy.
       It’s an exchange of energy.
       You give to and receive from (The Universe).
» The Universe wants to give you the knowledge and wisdom to fuel change in return the Universe wants to feel (through you).
       Some of that wisdom (S5. Knowledge to Wisdom) comes through action (S5. Action).  The Universe provides opportunities to transform that knowledge (all your time accumulated) into action (wisdom).  A lot of what is given is knowledge and only becomes wisdom through action.  The living out of the knowledge promotes change, which is the point.
       Note:  You can kind of see why a lot of what we “want” doesn’t come until we act (change).  I can sit here with all the answers and suffer (if I choose).  It’s not until action that the wisdom becomes.  Your will plays a huge part in your receiving.
» It connects to your will (the Universe does).
       This is the connection, your will driving the connection, situations and actions.

Philosophy:
» To know yourself in the expanse of the Universe.
       Know yourself (S11. Know Yourself) both here now and in the expanse of the Universe, time.
       This is not a lot of information, this is not the answer.  Will you for a moment realize you can know yourself in the expanse of the Universe, you play a part in the continuing unfolding.

.».  Examples
       The Universe will not sacrifice you, your life including not giving you knowledge and wisdom you are not open to.  Imagine the Universe could tell you something that would benefit mankind but in being told this, learning this information to which promotes evolving then you (personally) don’t evolve, this is to sacrifice your evolving (S1. Evolving). 
       Evolving for the good of man(kind) at your expense, the Universe will not do this.  Connects in with how the Universe doesn’t want you to do anything, the Universe doesn’t need anything.  Align with these two ideas and you align with the Universe.
       The connection to make is we typically evolve through lesson and pain.  As you no longer need the pain (S12. Surrender) then you also no longer need the lesson and open to evolving (possibility).  Then yes the Universe can give you more, you can receive more.

       I thought that if I did all this work (the Practice) that it would come (love, partner, friends, money, success, happiness, health, answers and all that I was seeking), I was wrong.  Do the work yet live too.  The Universe always only provides opportunities.  Through doing the work (and not doing the work) you create those opportunities.  You (S11. The You) have to take that step forward and step into them (or step backwards into the ego and into the lessons).  The Universe (Source 5) is the environment we walk through.  In time it’s less about forward or backward and there can and will be nudges when you stay in one emotional place too long.
       I say the Universe always only provides opportunities and here I’ll allude to miracles from God being the exception.  For now this is how we understand it, using words like “always”, “exceptions” and such.  We can grasp this concept of the world we live in (extending out to the Universe and beyond) for now as we will until we understand the way it is.

Source 3. Support also expands on your relationship within the Universe.

.».  Summary
     It’s your Universe after all.  Remember this to move forward within this environment you live within.  Connect to the Universe consciously to receive.  This is interacting with your (Earthly) environment at the highest level.
