Money or the Word - Which is greater?

Hello! Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"

    A  joke:   Wife phones her husband at work,  "Dear I am dying.."

                    The husband cannot believe his good luck, feels elated, but immediately puts on the mask of normality, "Oh dear!" he sigs on the phone, "How am I going to live without you?"

                     The wife has found her opportunity to again wrong her husband, "You fool!" she hollers back, "I only said I was dying my hair."


Money or the Word - which is greater?

                    I wish I had 20 million sterling pounds to give away to the needy sick poor of the world, so that they could replace their poverty with joy, health and wealth.

                    I regret I do not have that sort of money.

                    How can I then help make the world to be a better place?

                    May be I could spread knowledge as to how one can set about acquiring joy, health and wealth in life.

                    To do so I can do no better than guide the world to

My Mind is a television receiver

Hello! Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"


        Find time to visit http://www.macrofacts.org

        It may help you bloom in life to your full potential.


        Some ideas are very difficult for me to understand.

        When that happens I try to translate the idea into a concept I am familiar with.

        That is the situation with the idea that my mind is a portal for a Universal Mind to projects its ideas.

        These Universal Mind ideas include all galaxies, stars, planets, life, and my own body, too.

         Sense organs of my body pick up the projected images, and relay them back to my mind as my life experiences.

         In this round about way the Universal Mind can get to know what is as an undifferentiated mass of ideas in its own storehouse of images.

         How can I make sense of all this fib?

        What if my mind was a sort of television set?

         Images stored in the Universal Mind were, say, the programmes in the various broadcasting stations.

         When I turn on the television set is when I am born into this life.

          When I click onto, in older days, tune into, a particular channel, and its programme, what I see on the tv screen is then drawn in from one of many programmes flowing in the air all around my tv aerial.

          This analogy can be stretched further.

           It is my choice what channel, what programme I choose to be shown on my television.

           Likewise, I choose, so the mystics say, which human body form, which parents I will have, when I am born.

          The programme I see on the tv is what is being transmitted from the broadcasting station.

          So the mountains, trees and length of my fingers is as in the original programme held in the Universal Mind which I have chosen to be transmitted through my mind.

          But I do have some control over the picture on my tv screen.

          I can adjust the colour, contrast, sound volume etc. on my tv picture.

          In that sense I can control some of the images being transmitted by the Universal Mind through my mind.

         I suppose that is the reasoning behind the age old wisdom, "As you think, so you are."

         As my mind can also think, I should, in theory, be able to influence the world I experience.
         With translating the original idea in terms of my television receiver I am beginning to make sense of the concept of the world all being a Thought.

         I can now even understand a situation where my television set, that is, my mind, has the added ability to pick and choose from the countless programmes in the many broadcasting stations around the tv aerial and present a picture on the tv screen which is precisely to my own design, made up of bits and pieces chosen from the millions of programmes available.

        If this was, indeed as life is, then the saying that we each create our own reality with our thoughts and feelings must be true.

        Our thoughts and feelings are the hooks that allow us to fish up images we want from the amorphous mass of pictures in the Universal Mind.

I am dreaming some one else's dream!

Hello! Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"

A Joke:      The economics professor was teaching his new batch of students the fundamentals of commerce.

                   "On giving money for a thing purchased, the thing goes from the seller to the buyer." he explained.

                    "Except wine, Sir" quipped a know-it-all youth, "It goes to the cellar."

                    Another smart-alex joined in, "And coal, too, Sir. It goes to the cellar as well."



I am dreaming some one else's dream!


                  It is easy to use words.

                  Our waking state is also our dream, as the dream of sleep.

                  But do the words make any sense?

                  Obviously these words do not make any sense at all.

                   I cannot, try hard as I might, not even dream into existence a grain of sand, a drop of water, or even the shine on a new penny.

                   How then can I say that I dream into existence the mountains I see  the oceans of the world, or have any hope of amassing the wealth I covet for.

                  The only way I can reconcile these opposing facts is if the dream that makes me see the mountains around me is not my own dream.

                   What if the whole cosmos was a Mind whose dream I was dreaming?

                   Then the puzzle could be solved.

                    The mountains, oceans, the galaxies, the stars, all life on this planet is the dream of this Cosmic Mind, being dreamt through my mind.

                     You, too could be dreaming this Cosmic Mind's dream.

                      So you see the same trees and flowers that I see.

                      It is as if I am seeing a picture on my cinema screen, and you are seeing a picture on your screen.

                      But since the film, and the projector is the same for both of us, we agree on what we see.

                      Things cannot be as simple as that though.

                      Things are compounded by our own mind, through which the Universal Mind dreams, to affect, to edit, the dream being dreamt.

                       Thus, for example, there may be a rope on my path, but I see it as a snake.

                        Then I have edited he dream being projected through my mind.

                        If I have that ability to affect the Cosmic Dream, may be I can affect that to my advantage.

                       Then if I  dream, with my little mind, of health, wealth, happiness, may be I can draw those images from the Cosmic Mind into my own real life dream.

                       That being the truth may be the power behind the "Law of Attraction" of the New Age thinking.

                      In any case, I am now happy to accept that my wakeful world is the same as the dream of my sleep, albeit that dream is some one else's dream.

                      Now that I know I have the ability to influence the dream of the Universal Mind,  I am hopeful that I can think into existence the life I want for my own self.


                      Visit    http://www.macrofacts.org     to get some suggestions as to how you can draw from the Universal Mind ideas, the life you would want to live.

Maya - the real illusion

Hello, Welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?"

A joke:   Patient to doctor,  "I have this terrible feeling of being run down."

               Doctor:  "You should always look both on the left and on the right before crossing the road."

Another one:   In these times of terrible my wife and I decided to earn some extra money.

                        We bought 50 halogen gas filled balloons at 10 pence each.

                        With great and effort, and with a hoarse voice by the end of the day we managed to sell off all the 5o balloons at 10p each to children  at the city's zoo.

                         At the end of the day, when we counted our takings, we found we were no better off than when we started off.

                         My wife, with her customary habit of blaming everything on my foolishness, was quick to
show me her wisdom, "I told you we should have bought more of those balloons."



Maya - the real illusion:

                  'Maya' the ancient Indian concept is often being translated to mean that the world is an illusion.

                   Because the world, and indeed, our own bodily existence, is as phantom as the mirage of an oasis in a desert, it is said, we must not pamper our bodies, or hanker for worldly goods which ease the discomforts of our lives.

                   Austerities, pain, suffering, should be our lot, if we are to free ourselves from the bondage of 'maya' and realise one ness with God, the Creator.


                   So the holy men of India disdain worldly pleasures, responsibilities and take themselves away from society into mountain caves and forests.


                  It may be that these 'wise' people have got the wrong end of the stick.

                  The world is a 'maya." True.

                  But even so, it is real. The table is just as heavy to lift, the knife just as sharp to cut a finger, and the chocolate bar just as delicious being a 'maya' as if these things were real.

                 Being a 'maya' does not take anything away from their physical properties we experience.

                 The real "maya' illusion, is to think that these things exist apart from our own selves.

                 The 'maya' is in the illusion that the world of objects and pleasures is external to us.

                  The reality is that the 'maya' world is inside of us.

                  My hands, face, and the table before me, are all a projection of my own mind into space, and my senses report these projections to my mind as being outside of me.

                  It is as if my world is my own dream.

                  Indeed, when asleep, I do dream.

                  In my sleep the images I see and feel are all a projection of my own mind. The dream images appear in our dream as being outside of us, but we accept, when awake, that these images had no existence separate from our own dreaming mind.

                  It is exactly so even when I am awake.

                 Not to realise that even wakeful drama of our lives is a dream, is the real 'maya.'

                 The reality is that we are meant to enjoy our 'dreams.'

                 Life is meant to be a search for fun, joy, comfort and luxuries.

                 We are to dream our wildest dreams and make them come true.
