Each of us contains within him/herself the universe ..?

Question

.. there is nothing 'out there'. The eye is an extension of the brain and its purpose is to project the creation of the mind.
Our minds are joined, our minds are one, and the world we create together is a reflection of the love and faith we have in ourselves.
Change your attitude, change your world.

Answer 1

Yes, I agree absolutely. We are so conditioned to believe that we are subjects in an objective 'Universe' that most of us find the possibility that the opposite is more 'real' than the so linear, so solid, so 'certain', 'truth' of material manifestation.

The key question is "How does energy become matter ?", and the answer will astonish, "By the action of human thought."

We are the 'object' observing the unfolding dream in an entirely subjective Universe, as Shakespeare put it, with uncanny accuracy for his time, before the quantum world started to appear to us :

"All the world's a stage, and the people, the actors on it."

You act out your part in my dream, and, for now, I act out my part in yours, at this level we seem to be separate, at another level we are, indeed, 'One'.

Answer 2

This forms the part of collective consciousness. There has been an emergence of active interest in this area of human mind. It is possible that there is an essential link among all individual minds of human being. The simplest proof of which is that we are all similarly different to one another, or we seek similarities and try to identify ourselves with other people and even with the things of he world at large. This simplest of human observation can easily be over looked as too obvious.

This however can never be proved with the help of our current knowledge or methods of knowing if this universe is merely a projection of our expressive mind, or if it has an existence of its own. If we consider this world in terms of time, space and matter then we can see that our mind is unable to alter the state of any of these. If this universe were a projection of our own mind then it would have been possible for us to understand it at least. Why would a mind create something that it cannot understand?

Therefore, if this universe is but a projection of a mind than that mind is not the conscious or subconscious mind. It must be a supreme mind in existence of which both the universe and human mind are the projections.

A more important question can be asked – is our mind made for the purpose of the universe or the universe for the purpose of our mind? If these two are but of different purposes then which one is the superior? It cannot be that two purposes are isolated and inert in each other’s presence.

I personally believe that the purpose of this universe – the general nature, and the purpose of human being higher mind are two quite separate things. And essential human mind, or innate mind that human life is an expression of, interacts with the universe through an intermediary level – mind based upon human nature. There is nothing in the general nature of all things like human nature, which is not rigidly set but changing and evolving into ever so newer levels of development.

Then how come these two came together to form and unlikely alliance, and therefore cause so much disruption both in our lives and in our environment too? If we consider the consequences of our action in daily life situations then we see that we create changes in the world around with the causes of thoughts we think and eventually things we do. I believe that our free actions, the very outcome of our nature, create situations that overspread into various dimensions in existence. If we do something good we go up into a higher dimension and it we do something bead we create for ourselves an alliance of a baser nature with materialistically rigid and unintelligent world.

Therefore to change our self in a bid to change the world is the key to our objective indeed. We can traverse across a wide range of spaces mentally even when we stay confined to baser or material dimension physically. We feel the effects of our good deed upon our mind and just like the simplest possible fact in observation I mentioned earlier, we overlook it. We do not normally realise that by the very virtue of faith and love we have entered into a higher space without causing even a stir in the universe.
Just the way radio signals can pass though walls, we, mentally, pass through the mater all the time, the time and the space of the universe.

Answer 3

In a sense what your question asks is true, as each conscious being recreates the universe relative to their mental framework and sensory input.

We each carry a unique universe in our minds, tailored to our experiences translated into ideas and memories. The universe exists for mind only as a construct beyond the immediate local experience of it. Beyond our immediate environment, all that remains outside of our sensory field exist for us as a mental projection or conjecture.

This does not mean all reality is a product of our creation, at least not in the sense that it is depended on our existence, but its existence as found in you is very much depended on your being.

If our mind can affect the structure of reality purely by thought is debatable. Thought has to enter reality as actions performed by the body and guided by mind within the restrictions of physical reality, best understood by its laws we are still trying to completely comprehend and capture.

Thinking that you will not die might not safe you from death, yet it is true that it is no proof that death is certain just because it is observed all around and understood as a property of all life, just as we cannot claim the sun will rise tomorrow just because it always has and we have come to understand its properties and relative location and predicted its final end.

All of these set ideas are derived from mental constructs of the world analysed through reason and set into laws due to their consistent repetition. Does this mean our shared reality emulates ideas about its nature, are somehow formed by it, or given shape by it, or that we derived these ideas of its properties form its nature as it is experienced by humans?

I cannot say I know for sure, yet I have found it to work more effectively to regard the reality as real and independent, as actions taken within this view are realizable actions, while those left to the imagination have failed to materialise without planned interventions.
