The Universal Mind Principle

We are all one with a Universal Mind,

individuality is an illusion.

The principle of a universal mind lies at the core of our

philosophy. Every intelligent being has a mind. Sure, we have a
body but it is our mind that makes us so special. We could in fact
remove our limbs but as long as we had a mind we would still
exist. Our mind is the real I of us, and it is through this mind we
exist. In fact our main teaching revolves around the notion that
all of existence occurs within mind, not just our individualised
life but all of existence, including the existence of our universe.

A famous philosopher once asked: "if we light a candle and

walked out of the room, does it still burn?" By this he was trying
to highlight that it takes a mind to confirm something's
existence. Existence depends on mind because all of existence
occurs within mind. We can know of the existence of our
universe only because we have a mind and we can manipulate
creation only because we have a mind. Mind is the true cause
behind effect and therefor all things are mental.
If there is one thing we all have in common it is that we are born
ignorant; devoid of any intimate knowledge. From our very first
waking moment we look out on the world with wonder. We ask
ourselves: Why am I here? What is the point to life? Where did
everything come from? Science has propelled mankind into

The U

unprecedented levels of sophistication, and yet despite this, the

things we yearn for most are the answers to a few basic
questions. Regardless of how much wealth, fame or academic
achievement we attain, the answer to these questions will plague
us for the rest of our lives. The fact that you have took the time
from your busy life to read this document is tantamount to this
fact.
It is very easy to become caught up in our individuality. It is very
easy to see others as separate and apart from ourselves, but the
more knowledge we gain the more we begin to realise that we
are not so different deep down. In fact we begin to realise that
we share a very strong common bond. What makes one different
to another is their perception on life. Deep down we have the
same basic needs and we seek answers to the same basic
questions.

Could it be that we are the same being only multiplied in

number?
Initially, this may seem a strange way of thinking of ourselves
but if we entertain it for just a moment we will see that is not as
bizarre as first thought. Life is interconnected and is really one
giant life form that is continually expanding, adapting, and
evolving in complexity. The binding force of all life
is: consciousness. Each life form possesses various degrees of
self consciousness and in this world we all share the need to
survive and re-produce. On a basic level all of life share the
same common needs and desires. What then makes us perceive
we are separate beings as opposed to the same thing?
On the surface we can all appear to be so different. I am not just
referring to our visual appearance, although this can act as a
barrier, I am referring to the way we behave and the way we treat

others. On the human scene in particular it is our behaviour that

alienates us from others not so much how we look. There is
nothing more uplifting in meeting a like thinking mind. The
harmony and peace that is generated by our feelings of oneness
with another is an experience we encounter rarely, but when it
happens its effects can be immense. This is because on a
fundamental level we are all seeking oneness - a kind of
reconnection to the realisation that all life is one. In attaining
oneness the barriers of individuality are reduced and our sense of
self is merged into one another as two (or more) become one. We
can all relate to this on some level, however, imagine what
would happen if we all had the same understanding and thus
behaved and responded to situations in a similar manner. Would
we not all be in a state of oneness? Would we not all be like
thinking minds? Would we not all be the same state of being
only multiplied in number? More importantly, could such a thing
ever happen?
All creation takes place wthin mind

The way we behave and respond to situations is based on what

we believe to be true.
At this point in mankind's evolution we are not at the stage when
we believe the same things, and because of this, we do not
always behave the same way, thus we appear outwardly
different. Never before have we had such freedom of thought,
but subsequently, never before have we been so confused as to
what to believe. This lack of common identity increases our
sense of separation/alienation and this encourages us to think of
ourselves as unique and different, when in fact we are not.
We are all seeking knowledge about the same things and if we
could all see the same underlining truth we would all realise our

shared oneness with all existence. If we see ourselves as a mind

instead of a physical identity, a mind that is engaged in seeking
the same answers to the same questions as everyone else, we will
begin to see that we share the same common mission. The only
thing different between one mind and another is its contents, the
beliefs and ideas it contains. It is important to recognise that
although a mind can contain distinct beliefs, a mind is in many
respects independent of these beliefs. For this reason it is
possible for two minds to contain very different beliefs but it is
also possible for two minds to contain identical beliefs. A mind
is unlimited in content.

We often take thought for granted but if we examine thought we Unearth t

& I - Intell
will see that thought is actually universal and independent of
availab
individuality. We may invent many different languages to convey
our thoughts to others, but these thoughts are independent of
language. Thought is universal because it is part of a Universal
Mind, and because of this, we and every other species are
capable of using these thoughts to build up an understanding of

what life is all about. Think of it, your cat or dog is using the
same thoughts as you, only we have a greater ability to access a
greater complexity of thought. On a fundamental level we are all
minds engaged in thoughtful activity. We are in fact the same
being only at different stages of comprehension.
So here we arrive at the one mind principle. The I of us is not
our body but our mind. We are all searching for the same things,
we are all trying to develop an innate understanding of existence
and therefore we are all trying to achieve the same state of mind.
Think of it this way, when we finally discover the answers to all
our questions, and it is beginning to happen, we will in fact
become identical to one another in terms of mind content (of
course this requires we are all educated to the same levels). We
will behave the same way and react to situations in the same
manner because how we react is dependent upon what we know
