Conducting Your Own Universe

Conducting Your Own Universe

PracticePeople usually control almost nothing in their lives because they do not know how. Life is something that happens to them rather than something they consciously live. They are guests in the garden of their lives, not gardeners. Many even arrive as vandals, ruining and destroying their lives within a few years.

Today I offer a practice that will teach you to control almost everything in your life. In light of the practice I recently gave you, in which I discussed your Universes, you will learn to control your entire Universe. Some may say: "I would be happy just to improve my relationships, finances or understanding within my family." But the Universe I mean is not merely planets, galaxies, boundless space and billions of light-years. It is EVERYTHING: feelings, emotions, experiences, relationships and even thoughts. Absolutely everything. Do not divide it into primary and secondary, important and unimportant. Everything is interconnected and interdependent. When you bring it all into harmony, everything in your life begins to delight you. Everything becomes joyful.

You cannot be happy with unhealthy organs and poor health. You cannot be healthy while suffering psychological problems. You cannot be psychologically well amid daily family arguments. This is an endless chain of events in your life and Universe. You cannot solve just one problem and then move to another; everything needs addressing together. EVERYTHING resembles an orchestra, watching your baton attentively and expectantly, ready to follow your hand. But your movements are unconscious, spasmodic and abrupt, or absent altogether, because you do not even know the Orchestra of your Universe exists. You yourself stand on the conductor's podium, weeping because the instruments of your life-music play so terribly: drums drown out violins, trumpets roar over gentle flutes, the piano sounds as though struck with a sledgehammer, and thunderous cymbals overwhelm everything, their noise enough to impress the servants of the underworld.

You can easily understand that the instruments represent aspects of your life. Violins might be romance, drums indecision, flutes love and trumpets fear. You can use any correspondence. The main point is clear: there is no harmony, because the conductor directs unconsciously.

I value this practice very highly. Although it may seem light-hearted or playful, it is deeply mystical. Not everything mystical requires a serious face, intense concentration and coldness. Sometimes a small child's smile can break the stone armour around a criminal's heart. Is that not mystical? Do not judge this practice by fixed standards. It is truly powerful, and I am certain it can transform your life.

Description of the Practice

Naturally, I will begin with something that concerns almost everyone: health. Without health, nothing pleases or brings joy. Starting with your health will help you understand how the practice works before applying it at higher levels.

Put on beautiful music, anything you like. Joyful, rich classical music is best. I recommend Vivaldi. I have already given you the collection here. Choose these pieces: Concerto in C minor RV509 (Allegro), Concerto in D major RV512 (Allegro molto), Concerto in D minor RV514 (Allegro molto), Concerto in G major RV516 (Allegro), Concerto in G minor RV517 01 (Allegro), and Concerto in G minor RV517 (Allegro). In my view, they suit the practice very well. Use this selection especially if you are not a classical-music connoisseur.

Stand somewhere with room to move, perhaps in the centre of the room. Feel your internal organs, all together or one by one: heart, liver, kidneys and so on.

Imagine them projected before you as holograms. Look at the animation I have made below.

Imagine these projected organs as an orchestra arranged in a semicircle before you, as in Figure 1, with you as conductor. You may take a baton if it helps you feel the role, but it is optional. Make correspondences if you wish: the heart as a violin, the liver as a cello, and so on.

Practice

Always remember that these holographic organs are your actual organs. You are working with your organs, not merely with images.

Listen to the music and conduct, moving your hands with it while thinking of your organs projected before you. Conduct actively, using your whole body as well as your hands. It resembles a musical trance or dance: your entire body participates. Watch the video below to understand better.

You do not need professional conducting technique. Follow your feelings, aiming for beautiful, harmonious movements that you enjoy. Move to the left and right. You may even speak mentally as a conductor does in rehearsal: "Violins! Have you fallen asleep? More life! Feel the rhythm. No laziness: keep working!" Or: "Flute in the back row! What is that? No improvising! Read the notes carefully and play in tune!" Address unhealthy organ-instruments particularly: your eyes if your sight is poor, your liver if it has problems. Keep everything spirited and uplifting. Feel that you are the sovereign here. Everyone follows you alone. Your baton is the highest law, which nobody can disobey.

You will understand better after your first attempt. I cannot convey every subtlety in words. Above all, you will feel your organs literally beginning to play together beautifully, like an orchestra. A wonderful connection will form between you and your body. Your organs will understand that they are not violins abandoned on a rubbish heap, but instruments finally found, cleaned and tuned, needed and valued by their owner. They will be happy, and so will you, however strange comparing organs to living individuals may sound.

An interesting detail: a conductor's baton is almost identical to the magic wand of fairy tales, a wand that grants any wish. Does this not seem a remarkable "coincidence"?

Once you have practised with your bodily world, what lies within, move to the outer world, from microcosm to macrocosm. Begin working with external objects and situations: work, home, family, colleagues and so on.

Again, put on music, stand in the room, imagine projections of your life situations before you and conduct. If relations with your husband are troubled by misunderstanding and arguments, create a suitable image called "family relationships". If you want work to prosper, create an image of work. If friendships go wrong, people betray you and you keep getting hurt, create an image of that too.

Practice

Place many different images before you: health, family, work, home, finances. Yet keep your whole Universe there, all the instruments. Do not forget other areas of life; everything matters. Highlight what you particularly wish to work on without overlooking the rest. You need not visualise that rest in detail. Simply know that you are conducting your entire Universe, with its many instruments, all important to you. These might include spiritual development, purity, various perfections such as clairvoyance, telepathy and telekinesis, evolution, seeking Truth, creative potential, preparing favourable conditions for your next life, strengthening the mind, increasing intelligence and wisdom, and so on.

This is the general approach. Expand or narrow it as you wish. You might conduct only extraordinary abilities, assigning instruments to higher knowledge, clairvoyance, levitation, great strength, communicating with Higher Beings, eternal youth or immortality. Or focus entirely on family and home. What matters is understanding how it works, so that you can work with any objects within your Universe.

Outline of the Practice

Here is the whole practice briefly: put on music and create images before you of what you want to work with, such as work, family, extraordinary abilities or evolution. Arrange them like instruments before a conductor, as shown below. Then conduct this orchestra of images to the music.

Practice

Many processes begin working within you that are difficult to activate even through complex esoteric or mystical practices. Here they arise playfully and easily. You will appreciate this practice's heights once you try it. Literally miraculous things will happen: incredible control over your life. You will feel your inner and outer worlds sounding like one string, producing a pure tone or vibration. All parts of yourself unite in perfect harmony. The whole Universe will support you, offering the most precious gifts you desire, and even gifts you do not yet know, still unknown to humanity.

Note

  1. Do you need a baton, and what kind? If you wish, buy one cheaply at a music shop or make one yourself; it is easy. You can also use a similar stick. Strangely enough, another "coincidence" is that Japanese chopsticks are much the same. Or do without a baton and simply imagine having one. Many conductors lead large orchestras this way. The baton is still implied; this is a matter of mastery.
  2. This is a wonderful dialogue between you and the microcosm and macrocosm. Many yogis may never achieve in a lifetime what this practice can help you reach quickly. Music is a universal language understood by all; that is not merely a beautiful phrase. Here you use something understood by both you and the Universe, the best way to establish a harmonious relationship through a shared dialogue.
  3. What does creating an image mean? Recall imagining a seaside holiday while at work: the sea, beach, lying on warm sand, swimming, enjoying yourself, anticipating your emotions and pleasure. That is an image. In this practice, similar images stand before you, and you direct them like a conductor. Everything will begin to respond. You will be amazed as difficult relationships become harmonious, things that resisted completion get done, and events that refused to enter your life appear.
