I visualize myself with a magenta cloak and holographic sunglasses; ornamented with bismuth bracelets and jewelry, as I wave around some kind of awesome golden staff. I glide freely around the world, creating organic Zen centers that grant loads of money for volunteering your time. Blazing a path upward — I sit upon my lofty cloud, assuming that everything can be gained for nothing. Not caring about the dangers of being trapped in materialism or magical thinking. I deny my senses, with reckless abandon, the thought of the common reality.

Holding the energy of enlightenment in the moment, as I assume my projection of the future. It has manifested. I have won the lottery.

What is Mysticism?

For me, the subjective reality is the only obvious objective fact. Consciousness has to exist before anything else can be said to have any existence at all. Since without it, there wouldn’t be anything to talk about. Nothing to experience, and nothing with a desire to be. From this perspective, even atoms have desire to link up and co-create with other material, to become something new. In this, even the elements have a subtle type of conscious.

Mysticism is a convenient word used for those that are actively approaching the idea. Where they begin to draw their energies from consciousness itself, more than the idea of the seeming circumstances consciousness finds itself within.

And yet, as consciousness, we bind ourselves with various beliefs that materialize as the physical laws and society that we interact with on a daily basis. This creates the effect of time as most of us know it. Where certain things have to be performed at exactly the same way, in exactly the same manner, in order for our desires to be realized. Going with a divergent flow to this common reality, is fertile grounds for your life to be derided and your more positive or creative beliefs/thoughts to be mocked.

Though, it is easy to see how practicing mysticism can help in taming your negative thoughts and emotions, it isn’t so easy to see how it can have any other magical effect beyond this. However, if we look to our dreams, we can see more potential in the idea. Since when we dream, our thoughts become as solidly real as the physical. You may notice that if you become fearful of someone in your dream you may imagine the possibility that they will harm you, and if you continue with that line of thought, you will inevitably dream up a scenario where they are chasing you with a weapon. And yet, if we dream up a lovely human friend that we think will make love to us, then the dream will certainly follow our assumption and we will end up living our fantasy. Just as in the dream, it is this way in reality, only delayed by our creation of time.

If you can guide your thought towards fulfillment, you will find a natural outpouring of bliss. And so, the various techniques have been established by mystics so that a life of preference can be realized.

It Has Manifested

Many years before I decided to play the lottery, I listened to myriads of lectures and books on the “Law of Attraction”. It made me feel good, I knew there was something to it, but in terms of wealth creation, I slowly became cynical. I assumed that these people were just lucky and that real wealth must have been obtained through a constant amount of painful grit, corruption and likely a combination of both.

Though, as I started to experience more of life, I couldn’t quite escape the good feeling this information provided me. Knowing the truth was malleable and a matter of perspective. I wasn’t exactly sure why I didn’t just fully dive into the idea, that I could create my reality, as I preferred. Which means, why not just receive free money? Something for nothing.

Of course, the lottery seemed like the closest thing to that. I was tired of hiding behind the spiritual materialism of “a practical person”. Beliefs I picked up from others, because of the ridicule of this whole realm. I realized that I became them. A hypocrite who never fully explored the idea.

So I decided to play a lottery, in my area, that hands out $1k a day for the jackpot winner. My technique was simple. I would assume that my desire had been fulfilled and live as though it was. Holding to this single thought, my consciousness would naturally shift into the reality where my numbers were picked. Of course, my mind is not fully enlightened. It often wanders to imaginations and thoughts that are divergent from the ideal. When this occurs, I have to gently guide it to more pleasurable thoughts. Which is rather easy to do, if you are constantly assuming you will win the lottery.

It seems beyond chance that some of my numbers would be picked time and time again. Of course, anyone can always justify these results as completely random “luck”. Even if, for example, I were to hit this lottery’s jackpot (which has a mathematical “human standard” of 1 in 30,821,472 chance of happening), as amazing as that is, the random chance could still be the reason I won, in the mind of some super jealous individual — who rather say they are totally not jealous but, in fact, “just being practical”. If I hit the jackpot seven times, a hundred, or even a million times, it still is up to the individual to determine the cause as being either random or guided.

However, having been that super jealous individual, I can say that it didn’t help me at all to win. First of all, you are likely to consider the lottery as a “voluntary tax on the poor” and not play it at all. But secondly, your belief of randomness will unconsciously create the reality of winning by probability anyways. Which, of course, is how many lottery winners have created the scenario where they have received winning tickets. Even having a general understanding that “everything is consciousness” didn’t make me assume I had any greater chance of winning. That is until I started to know that “everything is consciousness”.

Mysticism with certainty is the Science of Science

Obviously, I felt like I have something to prove about “probabilities”. If truly, “I create my own reality”, then it means that “probabilities” don’t mean anything at all, except for a framing of the situation in which we can transcend.

Having talked with someone close to me about this, I found myself in a totally blissful situation. I felt like everything was perfect. My food was paid for, and we decided to play a lotto scratcher. I knew we could win, and when my ticket was given to me, I started to scratch it off while belly laughing out loud. Every box was a winning number, never before, had I figured I would win that amount by happen-stance. It seemed my intention and desire were lining up. In total it was about a hundred dollars and now I found myself clearly profiting from this whole endeavor.

The following days, I decided to play my usual draw, and once again hit 3 numbers.

For me, it doesn’t feel like chance, but like an intention to feel the way you desire to at all times. Whether automatic, or willfully, your energy stream constantly flows with your thoughts/non-thought, focus of imagination, sounds, and tactile pleasure. A future manifest in the moment, always assuming and believing it is here and now, no matter what the external circumstances intend to reflect to you.

I see that there is a lot more to the consciousness project than I previously thought.

It is through ecstasy that we have been created, and through ecstasy that we create. In whatever way we can balance our mind, it is always good to find a way to do so.

Non-thought of higher thought.
Blazing golden trees.
We seek out life that dwells in hidden seas.
