I  cannot  tell  you  enough  that  every  situation  that  happens  to  you  is  necessary  for your  growth.  There  are  no  mistakes.  Everything  that  you've  been  through,  everything  that you're  going  through,  is  absolutely  necessary  for  your  spiritual  growth.  If  it  does  not  look kosher  to  you,  realize  it's  your  mind  reacting.  It's  your  ego  reacting.  And  the  way  to  handle  it,  is  to  just  observe.  Do  not  get  involved  by  arguing,  fighting,  trying  to  change  things. Just  observe.  If  you  can  observe  without  getting  excited,  then  you've  passed  that  test  and you  will  not  have  to  repeat  it.  But  if  you  get  angry,  you  get  upset,  you  want  to  get  even, you're  always  thinking  about  it,  and  you  have  hate  and  animosity,  even  though  you  move away  from  that  situation,  you  will  meet  that  situation  again,  and  again,  and  again,  until you learn not to react to it.

Q. The universe is it actually conscious?

A. Yes, the universe has mind (conscious/sub conscious/unconscious plane of mind...) within the mind/creator’s mind. 

Universe has mind, drop once mind, (the imagination of mind/creator’s creation, world, beings, non beings of) universe is gone.

The Self is Self alone, within that whatever is created/imagined by the creator/mind is called beings, humans, animals, plants to planets, worlds, universe. 

Creator/mind can’t exist alone, it exist because of self, all individualised self / beings / non beings, plant, animals, mountains, of birth, death, incarnation and reincarnation...etc., is just imagination of creator/mind, hence that imagination of individualised self with body (of being, non being, humans, animals, mountains etc.,) is in the mind of creator/mind, and even creator/mind exist within the Self alone, and also creator’s mind/mind of all creation is having the ability to think, thought, tendencies, ego, conscious mind of aware / awareness or unaware / unawareness, and mind of all being and non-beings is within the creator’s mind/mind, is within the Self alone.

The Self is nothing to do with separation, dualities, maya, illusion, individuality, imagination of creator/mind and its creation of aware / awareness or unaware / unawareness or to claim infinite or finite, but it is the job of creator/mind, the Self alone is (beyond) silence and stillness, neither disturbed by creator/mind of turbulence nor its creation of beings /or non beings of birth, death, in coronation and reincarnation ..etc,

From the book The Garland of Guru's Sayings

                                  66. The Individual "I"

 

775. He who behaves as "only this fleshy body called so-and-so is myself," not having the true knowledge "I am only I," will vainly suffer when the body dies, being caught in the net of the dream-like delusion that he is also dying.

We are divine beings in a state of recovery,rediscovering our divinity, winning back ourselves from the deluded mind. However, the mind is very much a key player in the dream called life, because without it, consciousness cannot experience transcendence. And transcendence is the whole purpose of the game. It is a kingly game when seen with eyes of understanding. If you stay stuck in personhood, life will kick your ass. But if you are open to Truth, then you are continuously expanding into greater and greater seeing. Finally, you will say, "I love this climbing over myself, this walking through myself into my Self."

Awareness is like fire to Thought

It is just like you burn a lamp in the house and the darkness cannot enter; you put the light off -- from everywhere darkness has entered; without taking a single minute, a single moment, it is there. When the light burns in the house, the darkness cannot enter. Thoughts are like darkness: they enter only if there is no light within. Awareness is fire: you become more aware, less and less thoughts enter.

If you become really integrated in your awareness, thoughts don't enter you; you have become an impenetrable citadel, nothing can penetrate you. Not that you are closed, remember -- you are absolutely open; but just the very energy of awareness becomes your citadel. And when no thoughts can enter you, they will come and they will bypass you. You will see them coming, and simply, by the time they reach near you they turn. Then you can move anywhere, then you go to the very hell -- nothing can affect you. This is what we mean by enlightenment.

EMBRACE THE INFINITE

People feel so vulnerable and put up defenses. But putting up defenses is like walking out into the starry night and trying to wrap a little coat around vast infinite space. 

The vastness just flies out through the arms and the hood. You have this silly little coat out in the vast space and protect yourself inside it and think maybe someday you will open the buttons and be spiritually liberated. Probably not. It's more likely that someday you will stop identifying with the silly little coat. 

Free yourself of all limiting identities and embrace the infinite.
