This is perhaps the closest to a basic truth

[inavalan]

"Now I have told you time and time again, my friends, that you construct your physical universe and your private environment in line with your inner expectations, for they mirror perfectly the deepest areas of your own inner reality.

This is perhaps the closest I can come in handing you anything that approaches a basic truth. All of our material follows from this, and any other information contained in the material follows and flows out of this primary statement.

I do not speak symbolically, but quite literally.

When you find yourselves therefore noticing more and more the inequalities, the disasters and the shames that come within your sphere of perception, you add to their existence. This may confound what common sense may tell you. However, concentration reinforces the quality which is concentrated upon."
--- TES6 #253

Amen to that!

I try to keep my focus, thoughts and expectations in the "right" direction, but it's not always that simple. Even though I know better.

This reminds of prof. Mattias Desmet's explanation that "knowing" has two stages. The first one is related to "perceiving", and he comments that in French there is "savoir", where "voir" means "to see". This is the rational knowing.

Then there is the next level of "knowing" (to cognize) that in French is "connaître", where "naître" means "to give birth". This is the intuitional knowing.

Which is what Seth talks about in his TMA.

The most basic truth of all. . .

  You create your universe.

 You can change/create/recreate any and every aspect of it. You are that powerful. You are also that responsible.
