IN GENERAL, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF
THIS EXISTENCE?

by Andy Hughes

In the most basic sense, the purpose of life is being – as
opposed to not being.

In your system of three-dimensional reality you are
learning about mental energy (also called thought energy or psychic energy) and how to use
it.

Knowledge about mental energy and its use is learned by
constantly transforming your thoughts and emotions into physical form (your physical
reality) and by then perceiving and dealing with the matter and events that are formed.

From doing this, you are supposed to get a clear picture of
your inner development as it is reflected by the exterior environment.

You participate in physical reality so that you can operate
and experience within this dimension. Here, you can develop your abilities, learn, create,
solve problems and help others.

Matter is the shape that basic experience takes when it
comes into your three-dimensional system.

Your dreams, thoughts, expectations, beliefs and emotions
are literally transformed into physical matter.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Every nerve and fiber within the body has an unseen inner
purpose. Nerve impulses travel outward from the body, along invisible pathways, in much
the same manner that they travel within the body.

These pathways are carriers of telepathic thoughts,
impulses, and desires containing all the codified data necessary for translating any
thought or image into physical actuality, altering seemingly objective events.

This telepathy operates constantly at an
"automatic" or subconscious level, providing communication to back up sensory
data. Telepathy is the glue that holds the physical universe in position, so that you can
agree on the existence and properties of objects. In one respect, your body and all
physical objects go flying out in all directions from the inner core of the whole self.

The physical environment is, therefore, as much a part of
you as your own body.

What seems to be a perception, an objective concrete event
independent from you, is instead the materialization of your own emotions, energy and
mental environment. Events and objects are actually focal points where highly charged
psychic impulses are transformed into something that can be physically perceived: a
breakthrough into matter.

The intensity of a thought or image largely determines the
immediacy of the physical materialization. All such images or thoughts are not completely
materialized, in your perception, as their intensity may be too weak.

MY INTELLECT DOESN’T HAVE THE INFORMATION TO CONTROL
ALL OF THIS,

HOW IS IT HANDLED?

There is an inner ego, an inner self which organizes
"unconscious" material.

As the outer ego manipulates within the physical
environment, so the inner ego or self organizes and manipulates within inner reality.

It is this inner self, out of massive knowledge and the
unlimited scope of its consciousness, that forms the physical world and provides the
stimuli to keep the outer ego at the job of awareness. The inner self organizes,
initiates, projects and controls the transformation of psychic energy into matter and
objects.

The energy of this inner self is used by it to form a
material counterpart (you). You then deal with the physical reality that is made and work
out your own creative role.

TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE WORKINGS OF THE

"INNER SELF"

The individual inner self, through constant effort of great
intensity, cooperates with other entities like itself to form and maintain the physical
reality that you know.

The inner self has a virtually infinite reservoir from
which to draw knowledge and experience. All kinds of choices are available, and the
diversity of physical matter is a reflection of this deep source and variety.

Having determined upon physical reality as a dimension in
which it will express itself, the inner self, first of all, takes care to form and
maintain the physical basis upon which all else must depend — the properties of the earth
that can be called the natural ones.

The deepest, most basic subjective experience is translated
into the natural elements: the ample landscape that sustains physical life.

With the natural structures formed and maintained, other
secondary physical properties are projected.

WHY ISN’T THE NATURE OF ALL THIS CLEARER?

It is the daily ego’s ignorance and limited focus that
makes it view so-called unconscious activity as chaotic. The waking ego (dealing with
physical reality) cannot know all the unconscious material directly.

The daily ego is simply not conscious enough to be able to
contain the vast knowledge that belongs to the inner conscious self from which it springs.
The outer ego is spoon-fed, being given only those feelings and emotions, only that data,
that it can handle. This data is presented in a highly specialized manner, usually in
terms of information picked up by the physical senses.

The inner self is not only conscious, but conscious of
itself, both as an individuality and as an individuality that is a part of all other
consciousness. It is continually aware of both this partners and unity-with. The outer ego
is not continuously aware of this fact. It frequently forgets its "whole"
nature. When it becomes swept up in a strong emotion it seems to lose itself. When it most
vigorously maintains its sense of individuality, it is no longer aware of unity-with.

If the ego were aware of the constant barrage of telepathic
communications that do impinge upon it, it would have a most difficult time retaining a
sense of identity.

TELL ME MORE ABOUT CREATING AND MANIPULATING MY OWN
REALITY.

You must learn to listen to the voice of the inner self and
work with it. You may also simply ask the inner self to make the answers to problems
available on a conscious basis.

You create your reality according to your beliefs and
expectations, therefore you should examine these carefully. If you do not like some aspect
of your world, then examine your own expectations.

Your world is formed in faithful replica of your own
thoughts… If you think positive suggestions to yourself about a situation you send
telepathic ammunition for positive use. You must learn to erase a negative thought or
picture by replacing it with its opposite.

You should tell yourself frequently "I will only react
to constructive suggestions." This gives you positive ammunition against your own
negative thoughts and those of others. A negative thought, if not erased, will almost
certainly result in a negative condition.

Say to yourself, "That is in the past. Now in this new
moment, this new present, I am already beginning to change for the better." It does
not do to repress negative thoughts, such as fears, angers, or resentment. They should be
recognized, faced and replaced.

Recognize resentment when it is felt, and then realize that
resentment can be dismissed. Initial recognition must be made. Then you must imagine
removing the resentment "by its roots" and replacing it with a positive feeling.

You must watch the pictures that you paint with your
imagination. Your environment and the conditions of your life at any given time are the
direct result of your own inner expectations. If you imagine dire circumstances, ill
health or desperate loneliness, these will be "automatically" materialized, for
these thoughts themselves bring about the conditions that will give them a reality in
physical terms.

If you would have good health then you must imagine this as
vividly as you fearfully imagine ill health.

You create your own difficulties. This is true for each
individual. The inner psychological state is projected outward, gaining physical reality –
whatever the psychological state may be… The rules apply to everyone. Knowing this, you
should try to realize what your psychological state is and change your conditions for your
own benefit.

You cannot escape your own attitudes, for they will form
the nature of what you see. If changes are to occur, they must be mental and psychic
changes. These will be reflected in your environment.

Negative, distrustful, fearful, or degrading attitudes
toward anyone work against the self. If an individual sees only evil and desolation in the
physical world it is because he is obsessed with evil and desolation and projects them
outward, closing his eyes to other aspects of reality.

If you want to know what you think of yourself, then ask
yourself what you think of others and you will find the answer.

True self-knowledge is indispensable for health and
vitality. The recognition of the truth about the self simply means that you must first
find out what you think about yourself subconsciously. If it is a good image, build upon
it. If it is a poor one, recognize it as only the opinion you have held of yourself and
not an "absolute state."

You are not your emotions. They flow through you, you feel
them and then they disappear. When you try to hold them back they build up.

You are independent of your thoughts and emotions. You have
emotions. You use your thoughts and emotions in your mental composition.

You must learn to trust your own spontaneous nature.

Your nervous system knows how to react. It reacts
spontaneously when you allow it to. It is only when you try to deny your emotions that
they become a problem. In spontaneity there is a discipline that utterly escapes you, and
an order beyond any that you know. Spontaneity knows its own order.

All of nature is spontaneous. Our bodies will be healthy
automatically if we do not project false ideas upon them.

Action accepts all stimuli in an affirmative manner. This
is why an illness is accepted by a personality structure, and once this occurs, a conflict
develops. The self does not want to give up a portion of itself even while that portion
may be painful or disadvantageous.

Physical symptoms are communications from the inner self,
indications that we are making mental errors of one kind or another.

Do not forget that you are a part of the inner self. IT IS
NOT USING YOU!

What you are supposed to do, then, is change your mental
attitude, search yourself for the inner problem represented by the symptoms, and measure
your progress as the symptoms subside.

You sell yourself short if you believe that you are only a
physical organism living within the boundaries cast upon you by time and space.

You must accept life on its terms, and not demand that it
behave in certain ways. You must accept life gladly, as its own reason and cause within
you.

Life is abundant, vigorous, and strong. Each of us has our
own defense against negative suggestions and we should trust in our own immunity.

You are a unique individual. You form your physical
environment. YOU MAKE AND CHANGE YOUR WORLD. You are part of all that is. There is no
place within you that creativity does not exist.

You must live in faith that your purpose is, and will be
fulfilled. The uniqueness of your own personality is to be cherished. The particular
purpose of your present personality can only be met in the present circumstances in the
way that is best overall. The people that you can help now and the particular good that
you can do, can never be done in precisely the same way.

Throughout the ages, some have recognized the fact that
there is self-consciousness and purpose in dream and sleep states, and have maintained,
even in waking life, the sense of continuity of the inner self. To such people it is no
longer possible to completely identify with the ego consciousness. They are too aware of
themselves as more. When such knowledge is gained, the ego can accept it, for it finds to
its surprise that is not less conscious, but more, and that its limitations are
dissipated.
