The world that we live in is a reflection of our deeply
held beliefs. It is our mirror. If we don’t like what we see in the mirror,
we need to change the self that is being reflected. The part of that self that needs to be
changed is our beliefs, those things that we “know” to be true about the world,
those things that we expect, our foundational thoughts about reality, our
programs.
Beliefs are thoughts that we keep on thinking. They are habits of thought. That’s all they are.
We can choose our thoughts. We can say, “no” to a thought and replace it
with one that feels better. And
gradually, gradually, with enough repetition, we can install new mental habits. Then we will have changed our beliefs. Our world will then mirror those new beliefs. We will then have changed the world.
The old saying, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” Is backwards. The truth is, “I’ll see it when I believe it.”
Every belief is a self-fulfilling prophesy. You will invariably find what you expect to
find in the world. Changing your
expectation is the key to finding something new in your world.
DO try this at home.
This is my belief that I use to participate in the recreation of everything that exists in every momentum of now
ReplyDeleteOnce again I must ask myself about GRAVITY. Will changing my beliefs about gravity enable me to find something new in my world of gravity?. Is the context of your comment about a different topic?.

ReplyDeleteYour experience of gravity is based on your conviction that it is constant, immutable and outside yourself. In other words, that it is objectively real and not subject to your consciousness. This is absolutely true for you as long as your deep conviction about it is in place. Your reality is real!
ReplyDeleteOver the years, I have encountered enough reports of individuals that seem to have temporarily escaped the bonds of gravity through shifts in consciousness that I must conclude that gravity is not a transcendent reality. Like all aspects of the phenomenological universe, it is the product of individual consciousness. Whether the individual involved was an East Indian whose wife observed him levitating several inches above his cushion during deep meditation, or an Italian priest that was seen floating in the sky by an entire village in broad daylight while he was deep in prayer, the implication is, to me, that gravity is indeed susceptible to alteration by human consciousness.
Like everything in experience, gravity is malleable to human thought.
I take full responsibility for my participation in the creation of gravity.
ReplyDeleteI acknowledge it as objectively real just as all of creation is objectively real.
In my view all of solidity is a creation of and subject to the actions of consciousness .
It is confusing to claim that things that exist are illusionary or somehow not real.
It is correct to claim that consciousness is all that exists but also confusing to say that actions of consciousness ,like gravity are somehow not real. We are not really disagreeing just searching for clarity .
We are hammering out a language here. The objects of experience are as real as anything in experience can be. We are better off not calling them illusions. The fact that they are personal does not lessen them in any way.
DeleteI think of objective reality as the objects created by our collaborative efforts.
ReplyDeleteThe world we all live in together and together create. I know I know , all consciousness arises from oneness but separateness is obviously an important quality of that which exists and must be honored and acknowledged .
