Spirituality -going deeper and creating miracles
I think we can take as a 'given' that there is more going on in the world than the convenient view that we are animals running around on the third rock from the Sun.
The problem with the meat-bodies-on-earth view is what people have perceived.
Some have witnessed all manner of groovy metaphysical manifestations including angels,ghosts,telepathy,deja vu, remote viewing, out of the body (OOB), unexplained cause over machinery and physical objects, outrageous serendipity, and all manner of psychic phenomena. But not all of this has been convincing and it seems that no where even for shocked scientists is there a consistency of proof.
Perhaps one bridge to spirituality is the placebo affect.
The placebo -giving someone a sugar pill and telling them its a cure always has some affect. The results are quite entertaining!
One can give a person a 'downer' tell them it's an 'upper' and watch them bounce off the walls.
Placebos often work well - where the person's ignorance of the wonder drug is used along with the ethical issue of the doctor lying to or withholding information from the patient.
Furthermore if the prescribing doctor is hoodwinked also,perhaps by a delivery mix up and gives a drug placebo in error the patient often recovers twice as well as when the doctor is unconvinced.
For placebos:
Caplets work better than pills
The colour of pills make a difference.
Injections(saline) are more effective than pills
Operations(fake ones) are better still !!!
These are scientific facts -but they don't seem to work all the time. And for scientific minds this presents a problem of proof and validity.
A + B sometimes = C hmmm.
Surrounding the placebo is a theory that they are actually 'hypnotic suggestions'. Where clearly it's not the placebo drug or pill presenting the idea to the patient but the whole concept that he is given or holds in his mind-the suggestion of wellness associated with the placebo.
Thus to tell a patient in the gravest and most professional tones that she has less than a month to live is arguably a very difficult position from which to recover, even if one is actually by some unlucky fluke perfectly well!
It's the suggestion.
And its called 'hypnotic' because it seems to dwell somewhere in the root of a person and has a power that some believe or want to believe.
It's common knowledge some people seemed to have convinced themselves they were cancer free and have recovered well. And some tried and failed.
I wouldn't want to be the Doctor that told his professional hypnotist patient he had a month to live - the Doctor would get a broken jaw!!!
Hypnotists and healers daily witness the power of the mind.
For myself I once decided to quit smoking -something clicked in my mind ...ENUFF!!! lol...I awoke the next day free of the need of them. What happened to all the endless data we have about ciggies being addictive ? I felt no cravings having instantly stopped a 30/day habit . (it wasn't 60/day or 80/day -it was 30 - no exaggeration)
What the heck is going on here ?
Us pink and fluffy spiritual types talk of accessing the 'higher self". Some pray to Jesus (equally valid) others to Whatever (ditto) and some tap their 'subconscious minds' (more dittos).
My summation of these phenomena is that these people:
1. changed their point of view
2. and thus their beliefs
3. and made a decision
1. He decides he will use the new miracle drug or pray or ' program his subconscious mind' or see the hypnotist. Now he has a different point of view -one of the possibility or assurance of wellness.
2. He believes this has the power to cure.
3. He decides he is well.
But it's not 1,2,3, it's all mixed in together as a concept. A new healthy concept !
But this works! Every time. Not some of the time!
Recovering patients speak of 'certainty', 'a deep knowing', 'a 100% conviction'.
A+B=C hooray!!!
Certainty.
Certainty of the truth of an idea.
Certainty of the physical manifestation of an idea.
Certainty that the mind controls the physical world.
Eeek!!! Hahaha :)
If someone can be sent home from hospital to die and the doctor thought that at their age it best not to worry them with it -and they fully recover because they thought they were cured...
"It's been three years!! She is still alive???"
There is plenty more compelling evidence of mind power in scientific researches and a gazillion other people and areas.
Have we not established and witnessed the power of thought ? Can we move on?
Where do we go from here?
We find ourselves in a world that sometimes bends to our will or at least behaves in a way one would not normally expect.
But which expectation is in error? The Culture of a fixed separate Reality or that thought is senior to the physical world?
I would say; the expectation in our culture that considers Reality as separate and fixed is in error - some people have got it wrong!
I feel that most people live lives that follow their core-beliefs.
The ideas that they believe deep down.
"This always happens to me"
"I needed more money to be happy and now I got it, I am all smiles"
"I don't care anymore -what people think or what happens- I have let go"
"I love my kids -but the eldest is a problem"
Most people see these things as a deduction, a conclusion from the experience of their lives
But given the power of the mind -could these things be started by thought first?
The egg (thought) has preceded the chicken(experience) and we conclude that the chickens (life)we have, is just the way it is!
I would encourage anyone to have another look at the Real World.
How do they walk across those hot coals? It's not all sweaty feet !
Have a ponder at the negative concepts one holds close to oneself.
What if you took a leap of faith and decided they were not so?
What if one decided that the way one sees the one's life is the way it is?
What if one decided everything was in one's mind?
...and then changed one's mind? :))
These new points of view would not be true for all your friends -they may disagree.
But they would be true for you !!!
If people can do things that others would maintain are not possible; then each of us must be working independently of one another.
It doesn't matter that:
.a person disagrees,
.society says 'this is not so',
.very educated people are sure it cannot be done.
But we do also act as a collective consciousness inasmuch as people look to others in the world to establish their beliefs and thus by my reasoning their collective experience. (The belief creates the experience)
.eg: global warming. "Yup, it's getting worse"
.eg: "A spiritual awakening is ongoing - exciting times :))"
Creating Miracles
Is there a practical technology here?
So to do something 'miraculous', one has to opt-out of the collective thinking (or the collective vibration) .
But how does one do this?
For me the answer is simple -one changes one's mind !
One creates the 'miracle' as now perfectly possible and cheerfully and expectantly awaits the physical manifestation.
One is changing the viewpoint,the belief and making a decision (1,2,3 above) ie creating a new concept in the mind or one's consciousness.
But we are looking for 100% certainty (from earlier) to be successful -is this the stumbling block?
It doesn't work unless we truly deeply believe it?
But that's only another belief !!!
Can we not manifest those things we want anyway? Smiling at our most overwhelming doubts,chuckling to oneself in the face of incredulous friends and laughing at the unaware educated naysayers.
Somewhere in here is Faith. Pick one ! :-
Faith in the Lord.
Faith in Lourdes (France).
Faith in the 'new' medical treatment.
Faith in one's Higher Self.
Faith in the 'God-self'.
Faith in the Healer.
Faith in the Shaman.
Faith in my witchy spell cast at the New Moon
Faith in the Gypsy lady
Faith in the Tao.
Faith in one's intellectual reasoning to reach a conclusion that is true -even though one doesn't fully believe it,
or my preference:- Faith in one's infinite self.
Perhaps Faith is the key to the 100%certainty we are looking for.
But I would encourage anyone to 'beat the system' with this new concept thus:-
"I have Faith in [add the thing here]."
"I know that even my deepest darkest nastiest mind-overwhelming doubts are of no consequence."
"I could even loose my Faith and it would not matter"
"All will be well for me"
"I will get my new Aston Martin Vantage in that lovely grey colour and black leather interior...lol"
To stretch out the it's-all-happening-in-our-minds thing
Am I living in my own dimension? ("Yes Paloma you bloody well are" ..lol)
Maybe things happen in my world that don't happen in yours.
It's only a thought - hehehe
Infinity and beyond !!
love
