“If you were told you had another brain located under your knee that controls your feet, would you think of your knees and feet as belonging to a different body?”

“Alph? Is that you?”

“Yes.”

“Where are you? I can’t see you?”

“You don’t have to ‘see’ me to perceive me. Forget seeing; in reality, you are not even hearing me. But because you have so heavily conditioned yourself that hearing happens only via sound, you are making yourself believe that you are hearing my voice! While, in actuality, I am merely transferring the data I want to give you directly to your perception center!”

“I don’t understand.”

“The conditions posed by your five senses have made you believe that you can only hear sound waves emitted by matter. Hence, this very rooted belief that you have acquired prevents you from even considering the possibility of an alternative way! Whereas, if you can view the situation uninhibited by all these conditionings, you will easily realize that ‘hearing’ does not necessarily have to involve ‘sound’ if you can decode the raw data received by the cognition center of your brain. This is what people refer to as inspiration!”

“OK… But where exactly are you right now?”

“The word ‘where’ is only valid for the material plane of existence. How can I explain to you the location of a luminous structure?”

“Am I to assume that I’m actually hearing you within me but feel or think I’m hearing you from the outside?”

“To a certain extent, yes, but it is beyond that...”

“So, what’s the truth of it, can you explain?”

“By the end of our meetings you are going to understand and see the truth for yourself. Don’t force yourself to understand too much now.”

“OK… Fine… Let’s go back to your initial question. You were saying something about a brain below the knee?”

“Yes, let me ask again: If you were told you had a second brain just below your kneecap and that it was this brain that controlled your feet, would you accept this?”

“Obviously not!”

“Why not?”

“Well, because the nerve cells that reach the knee are also the cells that travel to the feet. The body is one whole construct; it is absurd to accept that a part of this ‘whole’ is controlled by another brain!”

“Let us view things from a bigger perspective… Think about the movement of the galaxies, the path the solar system traverses, how water evaporates and how it becomes a cloud, rain, snow and returns to matter as ice… Think about how a seed becomes a tree that blossoms, then bears fruits and then returns to being a seed again… In short, from the microcosm to the macrocosm, there is a distinct and profound order in the universe. Whether one calls it ‘the law of nature’ or ‘the law of the divine’, the absolute presence of this immaculate order is indisputable…”

“And..?”

“What does order suggest?”

“An order maker!”

“Meaning?”

“Meaning, the cosmic consciousness!”

“Meaning?”

“Meaning, if there is an evident order in the universe, and this order is the product of the Universal Intellect or the cosmic consciousness, then everything must be a part of that order, that is, everything is exactly the way it is meant to be! Was this the point of your question?”

“Not exactly, no. Nevertheless you have made an important point. As for what I wanted to say…”

“Yes?”
