Free to Create
Are you not the source and the end of every event?
•
You are confused because you believe that you are in the world, not the world in you. Who came first — you or your parents? You imagine that you were born at a certain time and place, that you have a father and a mother, a body and a name. This is your sin and your calamity! You have made this world and you can change it. A world of which you are the only source and ground is fully within your power to change. What is created can always be dissolved and re-created. All will happen as you want it, provided you really want it.
•
Myself and everybody else appear and disappear in your world. We are all at your mercy. You are completely wrapped up in the world of your own making.
•
The world has no existence apart from you. At every moment it is but a reflection of yourself. You create it, you destroy it.
•
What is going on [in your world] is a projection of your mind. A weak mind cannot control its own projections. Be aware, therefore, of your mind and its projections. You cannot control what you do not know. On the other hand, knowledge gives power. In practice it is very simple. To control yourself — know yourself.
•
The diversity [of the world] is in you only. Your own creative power projects upon it a picture and all your questions refer to the picture. [The power that projects the world] is imagination prompted by desire.
•
After all, it is the mind that creates illusion and it is the mind that gets free of it.
•
[You create this world] out of your own memories. As long as you are ignorant of yourself as the creator, your world is limited and repetitive. Once you go beyond your self-identification with your past, you are free to create a new world of harmony and beauty.
