Advaita Meditation III Roberto Guillermo Gomes

When the mind is reversed, one achieves self-consciousness and within Self-consciousness, there is omnipresence and omnipotence. When this happens one realizes that everything is a projection of one's own mind. That everything is the Being, all the time, that everything that one contemplates is the Being and that one is That. Within this internal phenomenon of mental projection we discover that the concepts of sin, salvation and punishment are mere illusory concepts that produce effects as long as one believes in them. All creation is only a gigantic projection of one's own universal mind, where time and space depend on the mental substance. The concepts of Cosmic Intelligence, Divine Plan, evolution, are all beliefs, projections, held by the mind. Even God as we conceive of Him as separate from ourselves, as an isolated power transcendent to our "I" is a mental preconception, one more belief within the duality of mind, an illusory projection. The real God is the Being that one Is, that is identical with oneself, that Is what Is all the time, that is unborn, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omniscient, that never ceases to Be; from which we are not separated even for an instant.
