Janthopoyism: Scripture: Accessing the Universal Mind

Accessing the Universal Mind

Book 3: The Bridge of Receivings | Chapter 3.3 | 25 November 2020

Accept or reject the details of this practice however you see fit. The results will remain the same.

Refresher: There is a Universal Mind. It is the pool of all knowledge collected from every being that ever lived. The Universal Energy uses this depthless library to calculate its next move to initiate conflict. This process provokes adaptation, and therefore, evolution. Think of this database in terms of the internet, except extending before time. It's not limited to humans and nothing is erased, only built upon for eternity.

Here comes the tricky part. Janthopoyism suggests that we can access this Universal Mind as we do the internet. Unfortunately, your brain does not have the wifi password, lol.

If you find yourself in uncharted territory or tangled during your usual approach, the Universal Mind can supply the map for further progression, redrawn just for you. No matter what problem confronts you, there is always an answer, and that information is readily accessible to you at any moment. The trouble comes when our mind squeezes itself into little predefined confinements and cannot visualise beyond its self-constructed four walls, only talking itself in circles.

That said, the brain is still an essential component of the program, for without your brain how would you translate the messages from the Universal Energy into comprehensible material? And how would you remember it? But that is where its role ends. When faced with a particularly intense issue your brain is of minimal use. On the contrary, when the going gets tough the mind tends to rush into a frenzy, firing as much conditioned-based splatter as it can muster, hoping that something sticks. Sometimes this frantic action might resolve the job. At other times, it may fall into a panic attack, and then you've truly lost the battle. Either way, it's an unreliable method for solving a complication. Please note that the brain functions on previous experiences alone, so unless your memory has successfully been through this scenario before, it does not possess the optimal outcome for you.

The perfect solution will arrive from emotion above intellect. Janthopoyism recognises the spirit (the energy which powers Life) as the conductor for this emotional info, and we use this term freely. Still, if you have an aversion to such concepts, words like "instinct" or "gut" may apply as aptly. Pantheistic legend Baruch Spinoza claimed "intuition" was the highest form of knowledge, so maybe that resonates with you. But what's more important than terminology is to surrender to the duty your mind plays (or rather, doesn't play). At no point should you feel you are racking your brain for resolutions. That will take longer and produce inferior results. Instead, one must locate a mental space of calm rationality and allow the ocean of infinite wisdom to wash down your Bridge of Receivings as if a gift. Because it is!

This technique may sound similar to meditation, and it very well might be. Many spiritual teachings lean this way and we bow to them. That said, we do not wish to dedicate our scripture to that practice. Some people discover considerable success in meditation; others do not. That is your path to explore, and if you obtain something there, then great! The available text on the subject is ample. You do not need us.

Irrespective of the above, everybody has an ideal environment where their thoughts drift with a gentle flow. Perhaps it is in meditation. Perhaps it is somewhere else. We've heard glowing reports from people driving their car or taking a shower or going for a jog through nature. Your job is to find your sacred ground and put your question out into the Universe.

Consider writing it in a notebook, for this will unlock a state further outside the prison of your conditioning. Scribble down as much information as you can, favouring quantity over quality. Brainstorming is this exactly, and as you're unclogging the initial barriers your brain has created, you can pluck seemingly random data from the stream until you strike gold. Try viewing the situation from a greater perspective. Ask, how does the solution benefit you? What is the purpose of this in your life? Then forget about it. Literally do nothing. Remove yourself from it entirely. Walk away, concentrate on something else, something that makes you happy. Allow the brain to come in and out of focus as the thought disappears then reappears. Occasionally return to the thought to see if any new material is attached, then rerelease it. If there is resistance or uncertainty in your emotions, the answer is not yet there. Do not act. If you experience a slight hunch or a tickle of curiosity, play with the thought. Let the thought play with you. Extract the joy. The more fun you have, the better. Follow the positive sensations until the inspiration, the idea, the resolution softly lands in your head and knocks you backwards. You will know it is the best next step because the spirit will weave zero unfavourable emotion into it.

We liken this to a magical filing cabinet in the brain. Turn the thought into a piece of paper, place it into the cabinet, and then shut the drawer. Casually proceed with your day. Time will pass, and you will eventually remember to recheck the mental drawer. Maybe the hypothetical paper has not changed. Close the drawer. Move on. Or, is there suddenly additional writing on the page? Are there new words in your head that weren't there when you previously checked? That's the Universal Energy handing you an outline of the plan. It's the gifts from the Lightbulb Gods! Take note of what it is. How does it make you feel? If it feels good, can you advance into action? Or would further incubation serve the paper? Your emotions will tell you everything. Your mind is hardly active during the exchange, simply scanning each option presented and awaiting emotional approval. Because if there's one thing that Janthopoyism knows, it's that we perform our top "thinking" outside of the brain. The Bridge of Receivings will feed our most beneficial thoughts into our skulls.

Your only job is to plant the seed. Now and then give it some attention, but if you overwater it, it will not sprout, and you'll be eating soggy seeds for dinner. Instead, let the miracle of nature do the work with very little involvement from you.

The mind is merely a meeting point between the invisible energy and physical matter, akin to electricity powering a needle through the predetermined grooves of a vinyl, carved out by past experiences. It's an awe-inspiring tool that has evolved into a position of infinite power, a testament to divinity itself. But you cannot trust your mind to make the best choices. If you act upon your brain's instruction, you have missed the opportunity to use the Universal Mind. It is like that brilliant retort that magically appears long after making a mediocre statement. And therein lies your most vital defence: Patience.

Remember that your initial thought is always a conditioned one. Every moment you can steal ahead of executing a move will shift you away from trained responses. It's not about avoiding the obstacle. It's not about letting the dilemma overwhelm your indecisiveness. It's about refusing immediate reaction and building a familiarity with the challenge first, allowing it to enter the brain and then delegating the puzzle to the Universe to analyse while you get on with better pursuits. This is why some people swear by "sleeping on it" before making big decisions or how others receive their most profound ideas in the shower. It is not because your brain-wires take hours to boot up or demand hot water to connect properly. It's because you shush the cerebrum, opening your bridge for the Universe to insert the solution.

The ancient Chinese spiritual tradition of Taoism teaches wu wei, a philosophy that perfectly matches what we are telling. It is "effortless action", i.e. action without intention. The brain should not meddle with the world. Instead, a person should relax into the direction of Life's electrical current and glide with it. Move in unison with the natural order and you will never make a mistake.

But, of course, surviving in our high-speed social system does not regularly permit such indulgences, correct? What about those critical occasions when you don't have the luxury of sleep? What if you require the result right away? The process does not change. Stay calm, let the thoughts play, and follow the pleasant feelings. Seek those happy mental images that grant small emotional wins to bring momentum to the ball. Confuse the brain's patterns by changing location, switching from computer to a notepad, or doodling rather than writing. Spray-paint the walls, outline the issue in the sand, turn it into a game. Above all else, hold firm to the assurance that there is always, always, a way.

What if you found yourself in the presence of the world's most outstanding expert in the field of your problem? What would they suggest? You'd better believe they'd have the best answer in the world! The best answer in the world is out there, and you can call it in here. You've just got to casually roll it into shape.

The more you exercise an enforced pause, the more automated this halted response becomes, and you will fall into composed rationale faster and faster, especially when something challenging bumps your plans off course. Practice with your emails. The moment your inbox lights up, read the message immediately, shoving the embryo into the soil of your mind, but do not reply unless to say, "You deserve a proper response to this, so please give me a moment to dedicate it the attention required". Leave your response to dance about the back of your skull as you attend to other matters. Revisit it whenever you remember or set a reminder if it's urgent. Chances are, next time you check out the thought, there will be new words in your head that weren't there before, and they didn't come from you. As soon as your response relaxes out of you with lubricated joy, click that send button.

Janthopoyism proposes that deep within this place of removed focus is where "God" spoke to history's holy men. It was not a brain procedure for such a concept defies logic. Instead, it was divine information fed into an open mind filtered through clean emotions. Here is where the Universal Energy delivered all sacred "inspired texts".

We are only itching the skin of these viewpoints and will be picking them apart in intensive detail as we proceed. But at this juncture, it is worth noting that the Janthopoyism scripture itself was received from this station of non-resistance.
