The Great Purpose of the Great Reality Newsletter

This newsletter explores the spiritual awakening that emerges from changing your perception of reality

The logo and title are more than marketing ploys. Each aspect signifies a pivotal moment in my personal quest. Together, they represent the ethos of spiritual enlightenment, the ultimate purpose of this newsletter.

During early sobriety, I had a tenuous connection with my higher power and felt tremendous discomfort with the word “God.” However, I knew restoring this relationship was the key to lasting recovery, so I searched for a more amenable term. One day, I stumbled upon a passage in the Big Book that provided the perfect phrase:

We finally saw that faith in some kind of God was a part of our make-up…Sometimes we had to search fearlessly, but He was there. He was as much a fact as we were. We found the Great Reality deep down within us. In the last analysis it is only there that He may be found.

The nebulous wording deeply aligned with my Hindu upbringing, where I learned about the oneness of creation. The hundreds of Hindu gods and goddesses are merely different manifestations of the singular, omnipotent brahman.

It also resonated with the quantum nature of existence. All living beings are interconnected expressions of unified consciousness—energy is all there is and all there ever was. God is not an anthropomorphized, all-powerful puppeteer orchestrating reality from above, but rather an invisible reservoir for reality creation—The Great Reality.

This reimagined conception of “God” was a revelation galvanizing conscious contact with the universe.

I describe the logo as a person whose mind is a lotus flower in full bloom. It represents cosmopsychism and the power of conscious manifestation.

Cosmopsychism suggests consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe. According to the Anthropic Principle of quantum theory, we are the product of an intentional quantum design that was consciously constructed for our benefit.

This doesn’t imply the existence of a supernatural creator. Rather, the universe is brainlike and self-organizing: It has a specific goal and expertly manipulates forces to achieve it.

Since the universe and human mind exhibit consciousness, consciousness is all that exists. Based on the observation effect of quantum physics, the conscious mind has a perceptible influence on the universe. As such, we are not just differentiated products of a random mechanical universe but the very mechanism for its existence.

In Hinduism and Buddhism, the lotus flower represents divine illumination evidenced by its connection to the crown chakra, Sahasrara (“with a thousand petals”).

The beauty of a Lotus lies not in its captivating radiance but in its courageous strength. It thrives in the harshness of barren mud and after soaking in the sun’s warmth all day, plunges into the murky waters at night, confident it will regenerate come morning. 

After connecting with the Great Reality, I was determined to transcend my muddy existence and inhabit a state of fearless potential.

By opening the petals of my mind, I finally took control of my life.

Accordingly, The Great Reality newsletter offers insights and strategies for spiritual awakening.

The message is simple: circumstances don’t dictate life’s trajectory. We are not our addictions. We are not our mental illness. We are not our external environment.

We are the great creator — the operant power of our reality.

Each article will demonstrate that by harnessing our conscious awareness, we can reclaim our divine birthright as the highest version of ourselves.

Thank you for spending your valuable time with me. I am truly grateful for you, my wonderful reader.
