the universe is infinite it has no beginning and no end in both science and
religion creation is often discussed from a perspective of having a set or a
specific beginning in science we call it the Big Bang this is the theory that
says everything in the universe was compressed to the point of a single
infinitesimal small particle something we would perceive as unity and then
rapidly exploded and expanded outward and created everything in the universe
in religion it is generally called creation when God or some all-knowing
and all-seeing entity being the only one imbued with such power created
everything presumably in six days before taking a well-deserved day off let's
take a step outside the box for a second and put these two sides of this cosmic
coin into a vesica Pisces as usual the two enemies that never got along
actually have quite a lot in common both say that the universe started with unity
and expanded outwards both say that light was an important factor in
creation as well if at the beginning of the universe we were one essence and
somehow became everything then both are saying the same thing that we came from
the same source but wait a second how can we make sense out of that statement
the universe is infinite if we are measuring it from a sense of having a
beginning and that leads us into the topic for today cycles and this is what
we're going to talk about now right after the intro
cycles are everywhere the way in which we live our lives is
made up of cycles we have both biological cycles and technological
cycles biological cycles exist naturally as a part of the creation process of
life and technological cycles our cycles that we have created and superimposed
over top of these other cycles as a way of measuring and understanding the
reality that we are a part of time is a perfect example of it it doesn't really
exist on its own it has no life of its own it's simply a measurement of some
other cycles so you could think of it as a measuring tool such as an hour worth
of this or I'll meet you at 6 in the past we might have said it differently
let's gather again at the second moon cycle we've actually talked about cycles
before which makes it really easy to go deeper into this if you need a recap
watch lesson 16 shift of the ages let's get more into examples of technological
cycles take for example our calendars seconds life cycles of video game
consoles some of them like our year-long calendar count is our interpretation of
a natural cycle the Earth's spiraling around the Sun others like videogame
consoles are completely based on our modern world current technology the
economy buyers demand and what-have-you biological cycles are nature they happen
in relationship to each other and are much more harmonic than the cycles that
we've created they are natural the tree doesn't think
is it time to bear fruit yet I'm just not sure I think I'll hold off because
I'm afraid no one's going to eat the fruit right in nature the tree just
doesn't it knows by its inherent instructions what it's supposed to do
it's by its natural design other cycles in nature are like solar and lunar
cycles the Four Seasons and bears that hibernate notice too with the
information from less than 16 you could map it like this there are smaller
cycles within the larger cycles like our celestial cycle we find it broken up
into the four seasons and inside that we have the cycles of the rest of life on
earth all doing their thing in relationship with each other which are
both influenced by and influenced the larger cycle sometimes it may not seem
like the smaller cycles have no influence on the larger cycle but just
imagine the story of what happened to the Martians on Mars in the human
history movie I'm not saying that this is exactly what happened but if the
actions of the individual beings change the evolution of the planet that
ultimately ended up in the destruction of the planet well that would be the
smaller cycles influencing the larger cycles you know it's just an idea
we also have cycles within our own bodies such as breath drinking water or
liquids and eating food these cycles are a lot harder to map out because we are
the ones who decide when we eat what we eat and how much we eat but it actually
does create effects on us throughout our days once again those smaller cycles
have an effect on our larger day-to-day cycles
interesting our interactions with the four elements are constantly cycling
fire for example is prana which is happening all the time more frequently
than breath drink and food you can see how these cycles become more dense and
happen less often you breathe more than you eat air is less dense than solid
food and so it stands to reason that a dense cycle has a longer duration as you
breathe in you ride the sine wave up and as you breathe out you drop the sine
wave back down as you go about your day every hour minute and second you are
breathing and if you created a healthy breathing cycle for yourself then the
other cycles you are experiencing the larger cycles would become more harmonic
naturally if you change the cycle of your breathing if you alter it to
accommodate technological cycles such as pollution and obesity then once again
the result is a cycle that is less harmonic with the natural order of
things some call this disease the opposite of a natural cycle which flows
with ease of course you can always correct a cycle
that is in disease sure it may take some time but enough steps in the direction
of a natural cycle you eventually get you back in the flow if you start your
day in a healthy way at the start of the morning then the
rest of the day will flow that much more harmoniously if you wake up with the Sun
you ride the wave of the entire day and are more in tune with the day itself
this was a hard one for me to get and put into practice because I always used
to love sleeping until noon if you think about it there are different things
adapted for different parts of the day cats can see in the dark so it makes
sense that their night animals I have trouble seeing in the dark without
superimposing a technological cycle overtop of it so maybe I can be seasoned
what I mean is lights and night bottles artificial life is a cycle of
electricity a technological cycle there are positive and negative swings
and cycles what I mean when I say positive and negative is the presence of
something and the presence of the opposite of that thing such as with a
magnet you have a positive end and a negative end one is pulling and one is
pushing plus or minus male and female a lot of people think that negative means
bad and positive means good and that's not always the case we're actually gonna
touch on that closer to the end of this video a better way to look at it is male
and female positive is male and negative is female and don't get caught up on
that positive is good and negative is bad women are wonderful and in fact in
gender everyone has both male and female energy not just one or the other
it is the essence of giving and receiving the best example I can give
you is night and day it's that simple when we don't allow the cycles to flow
in their natural order we often create things that feel uncomfortable over and
over sometimes we call it things we don't want it's actually a sort of short
circuit in the cycle or a loop the positive looping back on itself or the
negative looping back on itself it's not supposed to be a loop there needs to be
a crossing over of the male and female energy that's what creates the infinity
the oneness that we've all been feeling and talking about now of course we've
also made the connection before between what we have described as cycles this
form and the structure of DNA this is the instruction set for the building
blocks that make up our being as we increase our awareness of these
instructions and understanding we can transcend our 3d perspective of reality
and shift into an awareness of the interconnected causality of all of the
planes of existence there's a little trickier though understanding and
awareness are not necessarily the same thing just as the tree does what it does
without needing to understand without a brain so to speak understanding is not
required for the instructions to be followed that simply means that
sometimes the brain just gets in the way of the natural flow of the cycles the
natural knowing that comes through your heart on that topic I have something
important to share there's a lot of people who like to talk about life from
this new-age perspective that everything is just love and light all the time and
that if we just think happily even when things aren't going very well we'll be
fine in fact I realize how I might have even
propagated that idea in earlier lessons and flat-out said it now this idea isn't
wrong it is however only half of the equation half of the cycle and if you
recall without the other half of the cycle we have a loop think of it like a
flowing river if you cut off the flow such as with a dam it kills everything
on one side by stopping the flow and everything dies of dehydration and the
other side becomes drowned in a loop which gets bigger and bigger until
eventually it must break and so yes we should strive to create a life for
ourselves and each other that is filled with love joy and excitement but when
things aren't going very well recognize if it's a part of the natural flow or
somewhere along the way you got caught in a loop if we lie to ourselves and
pretend that the loop is the flow even when it's not it limits our ability to
create a real transmutation of it and create something new in its place going
with the flow do you understand what I'm saying let me
say it in a different way just to make sure because this is incredibly
important sometimes things go well and sometimes things go poorly it's not
always your fault but you're always a factor in the cause and influence in the
cycle if you can account for the cycle meaning take account of it be aware of
it you can choose to actively respond or be responsible and have an able response
to it that's what being a creator is all about
I know I just said positive and negative are not good and bad in this example I'm
going to use good and bad in place of positive and negative by good and bad I
mean things that feel really good and things we do want and things that feel
really bad and things we don't want just go with it
I know it might be a little confusing sometimes things feel really good and
you're on the top of the wave in this space it's easy to ride the wave and
feel good and be a creator when you're on the bottom of the wave if things are
not excellent sometimes it just feels easier to go to that fourth dimensional
space Aysen say everything is perfect and in
divine order this is true from a 4d perspective it is perfect and in divine
order because it exists and is in this moment and as it's manifesting in 3d it
is not excellent it could be excellent but it takes time
effort and focused energy to transmute and change it into something that is
excellent what we need to practice is taking that positive flowing energy and
instead of looping itself back on itself is flow with it through the negative
energy in order to create a transmutation into what's next when we
say that things are perfect and in divine order and ignore the loops or
even create them as a justification to dam up the river of good feelings we
actually inhibit the flow that leads to the next that limits our ability to take
action and ultimately what we're left with is a poof sandwich here's the
analogy say I'm making you a delicious sandwich and you've got bread tomatoes
avocado chives maybe some peppers and a roasted portobello mushroom that is an
excellent sandwich right now today I just put a big dollop of poo right on
the top you still want it can anyone honestly say that they would
still want this sandwich it's perfect and in divine order right right but it's
certainly not excellent and I don't care how delicious the other ingredients are
if there's poo on this sandwich it's a poo sandwich it doesn't matter how fresh
the rest of the sandwiches or even how fresh the poo is it's not something we
want to eat the moral of this story is that if there's poop on your sandwich if
there's something in your life that is perfect but not excellent don't just sit
there and let it be find out what it is why it is the way it is and then take
some actions to turn it into something you actually truly want in that process
in that alchemy we can really create some powerful change on this planet if
everyone could come from that space we would see a new earth overnight because
no matter how you slice it McDonald's landfills oil rigs and this
entire way of life we've made for ourselves just doesn't work and I think
I can speak for all of us when I say that it could be something different
something magical and more in harmony with ourselves in the world around us
waste free flying vehicles spirit centres cloud cities interstellar travel
and the infinity of possibilities that come along with it
it's all in the cycles okay grand finale to answer that big question from the
beginning how does the infinite universe have a beginning
I have a feeling you might already know it's a cycle and no I don't know exactly
what it looks like specifically but I can share with you some ideas about it
every cycle comes to an end and then begins a new cycle or maybe it's the old
one continuing on again some theories about
the universe say that once it was a hugely expanded thing and it contracted
to a small point a space of unity and then rapidly expanded outwards again and
today while we can't see the remnants of the previous universe at least not yet
we can see the beginning of the cycle that we are a part of it's really
interesting if the universe is infinite how is it that we're existing in a
finite space and is the goal of life to take what is finite and merge it with
the infinite to create a new way of life and a new understanding of ourselves see
you next time
