with subjectivity. Cause and effect are just the machinery it uses to carry out what it wants to do. And
what it wants to do is to live and breathe through you. To find out the truth of this, you need to relate to
the universe as if it were alive. Otherwise, how will you ever know that it is? Today, begin to adopt the
following habits:
Talk to the universe.
Listen for its reply.
Be on intimate terms with Nature.
See the life in everything.
Carry yourself like a child of the universe.
The first step, talking to the universe, is the most important. It doesn t imply that you go around muttering
to the stars or that you begin an imaginary cosmic conversation. The habit of looking at the world out
there as disconnected from you is entrenched; we all share a cultural bias that reserves life only for
plants and animals, and that places intelligence exclusively in the brain. You can begin to break down this
belief by acknowledging any hint that the inner and outer worlds are connected. Both have the same
source; both are organized by the same deep intelligence; both respond to each other.
When I say that you can talk to the universe, I mean you can connect to it. If you feel depressed by a
gray and rainy day, for example, see the inner and outer grayness as the same phenomenon with
objective and subjective sides. If you are driving home from work and your gaze is caught by a glowing
sunset, consider that Nature wanted to catch your attention, not that you and the sunset are having just an
accidental encounter. On some intimate level, your existence meshes with the universe, not by chance but
by intention.

When you see the life that exists everywhere, acknowledge what you re seeing. At first, it may seem
peculiar to do this, but you are a co-creator, and you have the right to appreciate the patterns of
connection that you ve made. Carrying yourself like a child of the universe isn t a game of cosmic
pretend. At the level of the field, you exist everywhere in spacetime, a scientific fact that we are carrying
a step further by saying that this moment in spacetime has a special purpose in your world. It isyour
world, and by responding to it that way, you will begin to notice that it responds back:
On some days everything goes right.
On some days everything goes wrong.
At certain moments you feel absorbed into the rhythm of Nature.
At some moments you feel as if you disappear into the sky or the ocean.
Sometimes you know that you have always been here.
These are general examples, but you can be alert to moments that seem meant just for you. Why do
certain moments feel uniquely magical? Only you will know, but you won t if you don t first begin to
attune yourself to the feeling. The closest parallel I can draw to this kind of privileged relationship is that
between lovers, in which ordinary moments are suffused with a presence or specialness that wouldn t be
felt by an outsider. Something totally compelling draws your attention when you are in love; once
experienced, it is not easily forgotten. You feel as if you are inside your beloved and your beloved is
inside you. The merging of yourself with something vaster than yourself is a blending of two subjectivities.
It s been called the relationship of I and thou, or the sense of being as a wave on the infinite ocean of
Being.
Don t let names and concepts distract you. There s no defined way for you to relate to the universe. Just
relate in your own way. A little child like my granddaughter finds her way in talking to trees and invisible
dragons. That s her privileged relationship. What is yours going to be? Shiver with anticipation and find
out.
Secret #12
THERE IS NO TIME BUT NOW
THERE HAVE BEEN MOMENTSwhen my whole life made sense. I knew exactly who I was. The
people in my life were all there for a reason. Clearly, and without a shred of doubt, I knew that the
reason was love, so for that moment I could laugh at the preposterous notion that I had enemies or that I
was a stranger in this world.
Perfection has a mysterious way of slipping in and out of time. Few people, I imagine, haven t felt the

kind of moment I just described, but I ve never met a single person who could hold on to it. But people
desperately want to, and often this hunger motivates their spiritual life. In the Buddhist tradition, there are [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
