To date, humanity has been occupied mainly with trying to avoid the next blow from nature. We build defenses, develop technologies, and search for ways to protect ourselves from disasters. Yet one way or another the blow arrives. Nature always finds a way to break through our external defenses. Therefore the real question is not how to avoid the blow outside of us, but how to resist it within ourselves.
We actually have the opportunity to reach a state where even if such events occur, we will not feel them as blows at all. A person can come to such inner balance that even something like a tsunami or an earthquake will not be perceived as a catastrophe. Everything depends on the state of our inner perception.
If we succeed in governing our inner world, we will begin to see an entirely different reality. What we now perceive as an external world will be revealed to us as something that actually exists within our perception. Then we will understand that nothing changes outside of us. All the upheavals, disturbances, tsunamis and earthquakes that seem to happen in the world, they all take place within our perception.
The future itself is a law that exists within us. It is realized through the general force of nature within which we exist. That force is constant, perfect, and unchanging. What constantly changes is us. Since we constantly change inside that force, it appears to us as if the world itself changes. However, in reality the external force remains the same while our inner states change.
Once we understand this, we can begin to focus on our own transformation. Instead of trying endlessly to control the external world, we can learn to control the changes happening within us. By doing so, we determine our future. Moreover, we determine everything, how we perceive life, suffering, and even how we experience the boundaries between life and death.
When we attain this inner control and harmony with the general force of nature, life itself completely changes. We then no longer feel discomfort or pressure from the outside. The conditions of existence become pleasant and balanced from within. No matter whether it is cold or hot, or difficult or easy externally, we will feel the world as harmonious and supportive.
In such a way, we can build a heavenly life for ourselves, not by changing the world outside, but by correcting and aligning our inner perception with the constant and perfect force of nature in which we already exist.
