It is as easy to create a castle as it is to create a button.
~~Abraham Hicks
We humans have a general belief that bigger things take more time. On the surface, that seems to make sense. Of course a 15-bedroom mansion would take longer to build than a two-bedroom bungalow. Wouldn’t it?
When it comes to creating your reality, how big you consider your desire to be is irrelevant. Bringing a new 65-inch TV into your experience isn’t going to take longer than bringing in a 45-inch one because it’s physically bigger. It may, however, take longer because the 65-inch one is more expensive and you believe that getting that amount of money will take you longer. More on that in another post.
The concept that the size of a thing doesn’t matter may seem counter-intuitive at first, but there are areas where we are already well aware of this. Take a gravity, for instance. Back in my middle school science class when our teacher held a light chalkboard eraser and a thick, heavy textbook at shoulder height and asked the class which one would hit the ground first when he dropped them, we all confidently responded, “The textbook, of course.” I still remember the moment that I saw them hit the ground at the same time and my amazement. Gravity causes all objects to accelerate at the same rate. Here on Earth, other factors like air resistance come into play, of course, but if you dropped an elephant and a mouse from whatever height in a vacuum, they would both hit the ground at the same time. The size is irrelevant.
Going back to our mansion and bungalow example, does it really take more time to build the mansion? Is that an absolute? If you think about it for a little while, you can come up with scenarios where they would both take the same amount of time or the mansion might even get finished sooner. How many people are on the mansion crew and how many people are on the bungalow crew? What is their level of expertise? Do they have all the equipment they need? Are they using the most efficient and safest building methods? Do they have a reliable supply of building materials? What kind of working relationship do they have?
Let’s say we have 50 well-organized, experienced people with clear plans to follow, an abundant supply of resources, and good equipment working harmoniously on the mansion. Everyone enjoys coming to work every day and it’s a great environment. Over at the bungalow site across the street we have 11 people who have never held a hammer before following plans that one of them (who really had no idea what he was doing) quickly drew up while he was eating breakfast that morning. They don’t have any power tools, and even though they think they’re ready to start building, the cement truck hasn’t shown up yet and at least a third of the lumber they have is unusuable. On top of that, they’re a surly bunch, so they spend a good portion of the day arguing about one thing or another.
Now, which home is going to take longer to build? Come to think of it, which one is likely to stay up longer?
What may seem big to you and I is nothing when seen from the perspective of the Universe.
Here’s another analogy (Because I’m all about analogies). If I gave you a 500 ml bottle of water and asked you to put it on a table 10 m away, you would do it with ease. If I gave you a 4 L bottle of water and asked you to put it next to the first one, it wouldn’t take you longer. You would certainly notice the difference in weight, but it wouldn’t take you more time to walk over there, nor would you need help. If I asked the same thing of a 18-month-old it would be a different story. The 500 ml might not be too bad, but the 4 litre bottle would take a lot of pushing and shoving and would certainly take the little guy way more time to move, if no one was kind enough to help.
We are living in an infinite Universe. It is a Universe that has created planets and stars so big it would take a commercial airliner 1100 years to fly around them just once. And think of the massive amounts of energy that stars produces.
The Sun’s output is 3.8 x 1033 ergs/second, or about 5 x 1023 horsepower. How much is that? It is enough energy to melt a bridge of ice 2 miles wide, 1 mile thick, and extending the entire way from the Earth to the Sun, in one second.

And remember that the Sun has been burning for millions of years and that it is nowhere close to being one of the biggest stars. And then remember that there are a countless number of stars (Check out my post Stars vs Grains of Sand).
If the Universe can create all of that, how hard would it be for it to create a 65-inch ultra HD TV for you?
