The Big Bang is in You

When you awaken to the spiritual or evolutionary impulse, you realise that each one of us, at our highest level, is what I call the authentic Self, which is actually the same energy and intelligence that originally inspired the entire creative process. You begin to intuit and feel directly connected to the very impulse that initiated the whole event billions of years ago and is driving it right now. You actually start to feel it working in you, surging through your own mind and body as the mysterious compulsion to evolve at the level of consciousness. When you feel that surge, what you’re experiencing is the highest and most subtle and profound expression of that initial explosion, the outer reaches of the Big Bang. That’s the furthest it has gone, to where you, as a human being at the leading edge, feel this mysterious compulsion to evolve at the level of consciousness. I’m speaking about the development of the interior dimension of the cosmos. The exterior dimension of the cosmos is what you see if you look through a telescope back to the earliest beginnings of our universe. But the interior dimension is the dimension of consciousness. So, when the evolving human experiences this mysterious spiritual compulsion, that is the interior of the cosmos itself trying to develop through you. The cosmos is not just ‘out there’, it’s ‘in here’. So, when you experience the spiritual impulse or the authentic self, you’re experiencing the Big Bang as a surging compulsion for interior development and growth
