Hi Sarah,
The universe is synomous with awareness.. which is the same as BEING aware of your entire BODY... every single cell... this requires a "practice"
MOST people (99.9999999999%) are limited by the awareness of the brain... the fatty tissue between the ears... there is NO universal truth in that tiny peace of fat... there is only relative truth.. If you wish to EXPERIENCE truth and enter the smallest club on planet earth, ONe must become in contact with "Awareness"..
some people call "Awareness", GOD... a better signifier for this "thing" would be "Space" or "emptyness"
you can learn how to make contact with the truth through vipasanna meditation..
Meditation means = watching the mind
watching the mind for ost people must be a serious and LIFE long practice...
Just like it is impossible to scream.. "i am an astronomer" and turn into an astronomer.. one can not claim to be a Christian and turn into a Christian, or a Buddhist or any other type of religious man... THE only way to become an astronomer is to experience and learn about astronomy...
The truth also MUST BE experienced.. it can not JUST be learned... or memorized...
BUT the process in which to experience the truth can be learned.. this is called meditation.... the first step of watching the mind.. is to stop all REACTION
i hope this helps
IT is a narrow path my dear...
