All Of Existence Is Held Together By The Intelligence Of Consciousness

Universal Consciousness, often referred to as God, is the essential ‘ingredient’ of everything and can therefore not be more important or valuable in one of its expressions than in another, regardless of whether it uses a highly developed human brain or the relatively simple nervous system of an ant. All of existence is held together by the intelligence of consciousness. Its presence in our body allows us to live a physical existence. In the same way, the presence of consciousness in the body of an ant allows the ant to live its life, too.

The intelligence of an ant’s DNA or that of an amoeba is not so much different from ours. The reason for that is that the intelligence of consciousness operating in an ant cell has to know nearly as much as the one in a human cell in order to survive in this world. Both the types of DNA have recorded vast amounts of information not only about the complex functions of their own bodies but also about the intricate connections that exist between the microcosm and the macrocosm, plus millions of years of planetary evolution. All this is necessary for both an ant and a human being to live and to survive.

We generally believe that animals, plants or insects are not aware of any of that. But then, most of us are not aware of it either. We use intellectual and scientific concepts to understand reality, yet this has prevented us from actually experiencing it. In fact, plants, minerals, insects, birds, springs, oceans and mountains are much more aware of and in tune with their existence and interconnectedness because they do not use a mind or intellect to understand their world.

Reality, as it is, cannot be understood intellectually. Any intellectual framework or theory will always be too small to describe the vastness and complexity present within every grain of creation. Recently, Australian scientists have revealed the first biosensor capable of determining whether a patient was suffering from indigestion or a heart attack. All they need from the body to diagnose a specific condition is a drop of blood or saliva. One particle of blood contains all the information of the entire body. Even the smallest subatomic particle contains the blueprint of the whole cosmos. It has to know the whole story in order to know where it belongs or what it should do. Without this intrinsic wisdom, the universe and we would collapse like a house of cards. This set-up or wisdom can be called ‘nature’.

When we say: “nature knows best how to organize”, we refer to her as a conscious being, a form of intelligence. All the species of animals, plants, flowers, insects, minerals and even atoms have their own form of intelligence or soul. Fairy tales have been descriptive of various types of beings we no longer recognize to be real. Fairies, nature spirits and angels seem have been, banished, so to say, to the ‘unreal’ world by our inability to see them and communicate with them. Trying to sound realistic and scientific, we may emphatically state: “I only believe what I can see!” Yet quite the opposite is true: “I can only see what I believe.” My brain permits me only to perceive what I already know and believe is true and real, the rest of the information is automatically filtered out. What gets through to my conscious mind will merely confirm what I already know to be true.

It is time to let go of all the belief systems that have such a limiting influence, for they are castles in the air. To rely on what we think is true and real means living in the past, but may or may not be relevant in the ‘now’ which is the only reality. The present is new at every coming moment and cannot be fathomed, relived or understood by memories from the past. Belief systems are just memories about what we have learnt or experienced some time before. The experience always comes first and is followed by an intellectual concept or understanding that can explain what we have experienced. But because intellectual understanding cannot relive the experience it is always outside of reality.
