Life's
Top 5 Illusions
By
Barry Goss,
Creator of The
Manifestation Portal
WARNING:
These new paradigms may well be somewhat controversial, or even, dare
I say it, shocking to your system of thought; but I did not invent these
visionary views of life. But, only through intense gut-level questioning
and critical-thinking, come to understand that it is the knowledge and
brief understanding of these that will either cause you to throw-up or
wave on the unpalatable taste of more good medicine. Youll either
be moved to consume something sweet, easy, mundane and valueless,
like a newspaper, magazine, or cheap novel or youll continue to
take the good medicine knowing that your mind viruses will eventually
cure themselves from the insideout.
Illusion #1: God is a personality
God is a personality - an oversized white male with a flowing beard who
sits "up there" watching our every move.
My New Paradigm: Like the electrical source from an outlet, God
is formless, infinite, nonlinear, as well as unperceivable. God is that
First Force that expressed Itself as and through you, as and through me,
as and through All Things everywhere.
If you've soaked up and bought into traditional religious theology over
the years and/or haven't put on your critical-thinking cap while exploring
ideas outside the "black book", this may be a little hard to
swallow. And, since the idea that God is our creative source and that
we are an individuated, interconnected extension of that universal source
(like the sun is to a ray of light); since this paradigm - this new view
- has took me a while to get a handle on as well, I'll tread lightly by
just giving you an excerpt from Len Chetkin's book, 100 Thoughts That
Lead To Happiness.
Note: this
new paradigm that we are not mere fragments of the 'father' God
or organized religion, like "crumbs in a cake,' but that each of
us really does contain the total powerful essence to instead BE the cake
(i.e., everything is God, ergo, we are God) has raised an outcry
for years.
From when Charles Fillmore said the same thing over a 100 years ago to
the recent echoed paradigm in the Conversations with God series, by Neale
Donald Walsh, this it one of those unspoken truths that more and more
folks over the last half-century have felt from deep within but which
maybe they dared not yet accept or believe.
Excerpt from Len Chetkin:
"Instead
of looking at God as a deity in charge of everything going on in the
physical and having it stop there... Instead of viewing God as a standoffish
power who threatens to wield power at the slightest misstep... Instead
of thinking of God as a separate entity who resides somewhere outside
of us, reigning over the universe with an iron fist and a loving heart...
Think of God as an integral part of our everyday living. The deity of
which we are part and parcel. The mother/father spirit whose totality
is the sum total of all souls everywhere, who can be called on at any
given moment to aid any individual cause, and whose love is infinite
and is never withheld, no matter what the circumstances, because it
is our birthright, being divine, to call upon the infinite gatherings
of love and once feeling loves existence, be immersed in it. Its
like not seeing the forest for the trees. We are the trees. We are the
forest. We are Divine. We are God."
God is neither
external nor internal. God is everything, everywhere. God as the
formless first and all-pervading Source is holographic, with each
aspect containing a complete imprint of the whole. God is All-That-Is.
While this view may not serve you, again, it IS one of the necessary paradigm
shifts that I had to make. Like the dynamite that blasts a hole in the
side of a mountain for access to further exploring, this visionary personal
truth has given me the ability to see even deeper truths.
I have no idea what God is. Yes, I have an experience that God
is. There is something very real about this presence called God, although
I have no idea how to define God, to see God as a person or a thing. I
cant seem to do it. Its kind of like asking a human being
to explain what God is. Its similar to asking a fish to explain
the water in which the fish swims. Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D.
Illusion #2: If it's in the Bible it must be true!
My New Paradigm: The ultimate truths are to be found within, yet the
study of a variety of sources of information helps you to reawaken and
remember your inner truths.
As a young
teenager, one day in Sunday school, out of naive curiosity, I asked my
Sunday school teacher, "Is the Bible our sole, God-given, instruction
book for living?" As she usually had a snappy, ever-confident, answer,
she said: of course it is. It is God's holy word and his rulebook for
us to live in accordance with his plan for our life. "But, if it's
God's one-and-only guide, I continued, what about other people
across the world who read other rulebooks. Can we all be good people by
living our lives out of different rulebooks?". She mumbled that she
would have to consult with the minister about that question.
While I still recognize the Bible as a remarkable book unquestionably
the world's all-time bestseller with countless millions of copies in print
and one that lays out some insightful truths into helping us live
a righteous life (yes, it has some very high levels of consciousness imprinted
in it), I also acknowledge that there a lot of other God-inspired books
/ texts, just as the Bible is.
For people you come across who reference the Bible (and only the Bible)
to impose their worldview on you, it's important to keep in mind that
the Bible, or the various transcriptions and points of view about what
Jesus said or taught, comprises many fallacies. The error comes not from
Jesus, but from the varying positionaliites of the people (the ego of
man) who attempted to transcribe Truth onto paper. If one chapter, or
the book of the Bible, was 100% correct, another written version by anyone
else would not be needed. But many people tried to keep a record of what
happened at the turn of that millennium, and unfortunately these stories
differ, sometimes greatly.
In the case of the Old Testament, it was compiled over thousands of years.
And the events of the New Testament were recorded by people at least 400
years after the death of Christ. Stories were passed down from mouth-to-mouth
by believers for hundreds of years before they were actually written down.
Anyone who has ever done the whisper something in the ear of circle
of guests at a party knows that what was said originally is invariably
changed by the time it hits the end of a circle of people.
In all cases, the Bible was written directly by the universal source (All-that-Is)
or God, if you still prefer, but was inspired by God using the talents
and shortcomings of the Bible authors.
Everything they wrote was filtered by their perceptions of the world they
lived in. Paul acknowledged this when he said our understanding was as
though we were looking through a clouded mirror or glass.
So, what do these facts all mean? How can it help you increase your
manifesting mindset?
Well, when you realize that God (the Universal Whole) did not just stop
communicating with us 2000 years ago nor expect us to or condemn
us if we don't view the Bible as our definitive instruction book
to life (especially after it's been horribly manipulated, controlled,
and mistranslated over the years), you're better equipped to see, from
the mountaintop of spiritual truth, just how you're really supposed to
live your life: not from fear or judgments but on love for each other
as individuated parts (images) of God-source, requiring that we take full
and complete responsibility for the choices we make in discovering who
we truly are.
When you open yourself up to other compilations of spiritual truths (like
the Conversations With God series or the Abraham-Hicks publications)
books and texts that have many less stories of extremely egocentric and
ethnocentric depictions of God and "his Word" you'll
see that it's more about individual responsibility rather than blind acceptance
of another's authority.
But, Im not even asking you to believe what's written in these 'other'
books either. I'm not sure I always accept even 90% of what I read in
anything. But from everything I know to be true based on my experience
and my personal growth not some prefabricated force-fed belief
system these 'other' books have divine truths within too.
As three part beings (body, mind and spirit) our bodies are capable of
earthly things, our spirits capable of Godly things and our minds are
usually the barrier. The way to help your mind become the bridge to connecting
body and soul is to ask questions for yourself. Seek truth for yourself
and from no one else. In other words, be open to 'other' ideas and systems
of thought and teaching.

Illusion
#3: The Universe Came First, You Came Second.
We feel everybody around us is figuratively here alone. We see ourselves
as separate minds trapped in separate bodies, moving through separate
points in time.
My New Paradigm: We are connected to everything and everyone in more
ways than we might be able to ever imagine, unless we wake-up and remember
that were the ones who wanted to forget in the first place. Huh?
For years, we've evolved to believe that we what see, experience and have
in our life is what, well, life basically has given and continues
to give us . . .that we're consumers; we are the ones that were
created, we are the ones that have no choice, we have to live out our
genetic destiny.
But, just what if yes what if the
world as we see it (as a picture of alienation, with each of us caught
in an endless, frustrating, hopeless search for completion) has along
been nothing more than a fun illusion that we pulled on ourselves before
we arrived in physical form?
Let me share with you this fun little story which gives a very description
view of the notion that the physical world doesnt actually exist.
It is a dream, a self-written script, and we are the ones billions of
years ago who feel asleep and dreamed it up.
Let us take you on a journey.......
All of us here are gathered in a meadow at the base of a mountain. We
are home and we are all playing together in perfect love. A dear brother
approaches and says, "Would anyone here like to play a new Game?"
"What kind of Game?" You ask. "Is it like the ones we play
now?"
"No," he replies. "It is like nothing we have ever done
before. It will be an elaborate Game with many props and disguises. We
will wear veils so that we can no longer see or re-member our true nature,
even the veil will be hidden from view. Then we will start the Game and
begin to remember.
This veil will be so effective that you will forget not only who you are;
you will even forget home. Even as we pass each other on our paths, we
will look into each other's eyes and not recognize one another. The veil
will be so effective that many will look around at the props and disguises
and truly believe that is all there is. You will retain all of your powers,
yet you will not remember how to use them or that they are even there.
"The Game will be played in phases and before we start each phase
of the Game we may place as many reminders in our path as we wish, to
help us re-member. Be advised to place many reminders, for most of you
will rationalize them away easily. We will choose the time and place of
our entrances and exits on the Game board. We will also set up circumstances
and lessons we wish to complete while we are under the veil. A tally will
be kept and points will accumulate from one phase to the next. This point
system will only be used by you to determine what will be included in
your next phase. You will not be able to remember from one phase to the
next, yet, once mastered, certain attributes may be carried forward into
the next phase. You will always carry your core essence and personality,
yet you will not re-member that it passes with you through the veil into
every phase.
"Humor will always be a reminder that passes unchecked through the
veil, and if we find you getting too serious we will tickle your funny
bone as a reminder that this is only a Game. There will also be many masters
available along the way to help us if we wander too far from the path.
Oh yes, I almost forgot an important part of the Game... at all times
there will be Free Choice. You have complete choice in all matters; you
may even choose not to play the Game, or to call in a substitute.
You may choose to hide, or you may choose to seek, it is entirely up to
you.
"On the Game board there will be polarity. This has to do with the
mechanics of the Game board itself, and will be a necessary component
as it provides the contrast needed. However, polarity will taint your
vision. Through eyes tainted with polarity, you perceive things as Up
or Down, Light or Dark, Good or Bad, Love or Fear and Right or Wrong.
Do not let this fool you, it is only illusion.
"We will all leave our higher aspects of ourselves in a special place
for the duration of the Game; otherwise the Game would be much too easy.
Your higher self will be available to you at all times. Your challenge
will be to learn to access it, and to re-member that it exists as part
of yourself. You may choose special loved ones to ride on your shoulder
to advise you during the Game. Again, re-membering that they even exist
will be a big part of the Game itself.
"The goal of the Game will be to see how many can re-member who they
are, where they are from, and what powers of creation they have. Once
you re-member, then you may re-merge with your higher self and re-create
home on the other side of the veil to demonstrate that you have fully
re-membered.
"So who wants to play?"
The implications of this should you choose to accept this visionary
paradigm are profound. If we have never really separated from God
/ Universe / the energy of all that is; if we are the dreamer, it is we
who can make the dream a happy one; and it is we who can stop dreaming
altogether and wake up whenever we want (this is oftentimes associated
with raising our consciousness and level of self-awareness, which can
be done numerous ways. See the 12 principles starting on page 34 of "The
Manifesting Mindset").
Omitting the background information which might make this even more clear
for you, one of the best short explanations for getting at least an overview
of the concept of oneness and the idea that we, in a paradoxical sort
of way, are the ones who actually created its opposite (separation)
so we can experience ourselves as the actors living out our own script...
one of the best excerpts Ive seen is from David Camerons book
Achieving Your Lifes Goals Effortlessly.
Hinduism
taught it in a different way. Buddha does the same in a different way.
Tao did the same in a different way. Jesus and Mohammed taught it, in
a different way. Quantum physics teaches it in a different way. Just
about every spiritual teacher, sage, quantum physicist and religion
teaches us, it its own way, that we are all one and by acting in that
awareness we move forward fastest, most richly and least painfully.
This is nothing new, but often we have refused to listen. Now, in your
quest for abundance and joy, you may wish to look at this again.
Everything is all One, the same Being, individuated in different guises.
In other words, everything is a localized point in and of The Source,
of The All-That-Is, of God. Nothing can possibly exist outside of and
separate from The Source. The individuation and the illusions of separation
are necessary for the creation of physical experience.
Once you realize, feel, and act from this position of oneness, you will
start seeing that you already are one with all the things you desire,
and with all the people and things that will bring wealth to you. You
will see that you are the one making the request for you desires, the
same one communicating that request, the same one fulfilling that request,
and the same one experiencing the manifestation of your request. Hence,
you need not worry. The illusion that you are not the same one is there
just for your thrill and experience.
Whatever you way you look at it, spiritually or scientifically using
quantum physics, the conclusion is this: Separation does not exist.
End of Story.
So, my question
to you is this? Would you rather continue to believe that the outside
world controls you and that youre connected to nobody or anything
but yourself
or
would it be much more exhilherating to believe
in the idea that you dreamed up your own place in the world so you could
create your own partially pre-chosen experiences within the world? Personally,
I like the latter.
Knowing that theres this interconnectedness of the universe,
that we are all interconncected and that we are connected to the universe
at is fundamental level, I think is as good an explanation for spirituality
as there is. Dr. Stuart Hameroff
Illusion
#4: Conditions outside events and experiences sometimes
just happen to you without your total control.
My New Paradigm: I never blame chance, fate or luck for my life experiences.
My life becomes what I have imagined and believed in. The world is literally
my mirror, reflecting back to me the thought energy inside me.
Is it possible that were so conditioned to our daily lives,
so conditioned to the way we create our lives, that we buy the idea that
we have no control at all? Weve been conditioned to believe that
the external world is more real than the internal world. This new model
of science [Quantum Physics] says just the opposite. It says whats
happening within us will create whats happening outside of us.
Dr. Joseph Dispenza
In the ground-breaking quantum fable titled What the Bleep Do We Know
(the one that Dr. Dispenza gives some pretty poignant ideas to consider
about life and your role in it), the filmmakers do a pretty remarkable
job thru part documentary, part narrative drama, and part visual
hallucinogen explaining how the worlds of science, psychology,
medicine, metaphysics and human development have all converged to support
one Universal Truth: you are the primary cause for everything (yes everything)
in your world and that you can change the effect at any time.
Quantum physics (which, in a nutshell, is the physics of probabilities),
begins to explain how you are in direct manipulation of your entire physical
world, but you may not be aware of this fact.
In other words, it may appear to you as if reality is happening to you
(because of your limited interpretation thru your 5 physical senses),
while all along you are happening to reality, regardless of your intentions
or awareness of doing so.
At the root of every problem, need, or opportunity, there is only consciousness,
or thought energy unhindered by ego. From consciousness (being in a state
of alert awareness of yourself and your surroundings), all things flow.
Consciousness creates and directs everything. The entire spiritual, scientific
and medical communities are all now agreeing that we, as a collective
consciousness, are at the beginning stages of waking up from
just how powerful we are (and have always been) in being able to affect
everything we experience in life. Its been said that we have
grown in our science and technology, yet now we will grow in our Consciousness.
And this will be the greatest growth of all, making all the rest of our
advances look insignificant by comparison.
Quantum Physics, because it describes the invisible cause (normal Newtonian
Physics describes the visible effects), explains how everything in your
world comes to be and it WILL be this form of science which will help
you clearly see how to harness this invisible force of consciousness to
work miracles in your life. It is science finally catching up with spirituality
and common sense, and explaining it! As
David Cameron writes, think about it; when someone tells you that
anything is possible if only you believe, arent you more likely
to believe that when you know how, step-by-step and scientifically, your
belief shifts the universe and produces what you believe in?
Quantum Physics doesnt tell you what to think; however, as it focuses
on the study of the building blocks of the universe (the unseen, as of
yet, infinite possibilities), it does give you a clear foundation to start
with when truly trying to understand how your thinking (and beliefs) create
what you eventually see.
All quantum scientists agree on one thing: No solid object is really solid.
Even something so obviously inanimate as a table, for instance, is made
up of rapidly flashing energy 'packets' or quanta. Billions and billions
of packets of energy that flash in and flash out of that space where the
table 'appears'.
Based off years of study, experiments and congruent research papers, it
is now accepted that an electron (energy packet) is not a precise entity,
but exists as a potential, or sum, of all probabilities until the act
of observing or measuring it 'freezes' it, or pins it down, to a single
state.
Once we are through looking or measuring (once we withdrawal the attention),
the electron becomes a probability again.
Everything in the universe all matter is made up of
these fluctuating, highly-mobile, subatomic energy packets. Therefore,
all matter acts exactly like a large group of sub-atomic particles would.
A table's 'being there' is a result of us all watching it being there
and deciding it to be there.
It is not a wholly independent existence. The point?
Nothing exists independently of your perception of it. There's a lot more
(much, much more) science to support this notion (that the act of observation
is what really makes probability-based matter a 'definite' thing or 'concrete'
object); however, for now, just know that quantum physics is the real
world and you draw in from this unseen sub-atomic world according to your
intention, expectation and beliefs about what is and isn't possible for
you.
Were living in a world where all we see is the tip of the
iceberg. The immense tip of a quantum mechanical iceberg.
John Hagelin, Ph.D.
Illusion #5: Like the beads on a necklace, time exist
as a string of identical moments and we experience the moments
the whole of our life as "played at once, start
to finish.
My New
Paradigm: Now is the only moment that exists. My life only happens
right now. I can remember the past and dream the future but I can only
be and exist Here Now. Now is How!
It was a
day Ill never forget. At 17, you dont expect to be so moved
by anything other than a high-speed car chase, talking about sex, or listening
to your favorite rock band live; however, on one cold December day in
1987, I heard these words from my high school basketball coach: "...To
rise above mediocrity you have to consistently act in the present. You
won't make it on my team living off of past accomplishments or thinking
about who you may someday become. Operate out of your comfort zone! If
you come in here [the gym] focusing on hard work and proving yourself
everyday -- if you concentrate your energy on the here and now, I promise
you that your future will take care of itself." --Coach Steve
King
Being motivated then soaking up the meaning of this little pep-talk
and being in-tune with what he means now are almost two completely
different points of view. Then I heard, focus Barry, its about
focus. Now I hear, Uhmmmm, the here and now, the here and
now; I wonder, yes I wonder is there really any other real place?
Experience tells us that Time is very different from space: we dont
all share the same place, but we do all share the same time; we can move
around in space in a variety of directions, or stay put, as we choose,
but move inexorably through time, and only in one direction. Above all,
unlike space, time passes. Or does it? The secret about time, according
to quantum physics, spiritual studies and our understanding of eternity,
is that its not the linear constant you perceive it to be. For years
the scientific community has been trying to convey that not only is time
more illusory than you think, its also a slippery mixture of your
past, present and future.
Like frames in a movie, the universe is nothing more than a series of
separate instants. The illusion we have of them appearing
simultaneously, in a sequence that seems to flow forward, is because our
so-called thinking-mind (not our inner-still expanded consciousness or
higher awareness) is conditioned for us to see very narrow sections of
the space-time continuum at a go. So, we only see one small slice, then
the next, then the next, and so on.
Zen Master
Seung Sahn elaborated on this topic in his excellent book The Compass
of Zen. Referring to how a strip of movie film has separate, but complete,
frames that are still (not moving):
Our
minds and the whole universe are like that. This world is impermanent.
Everything is always changing, changing, changing, moving, moving, moving,
nonstop. Even one second of our lives seems full of so much movement
and change in this world that we see. But your mind--right now--is like
a lens whose shutter speed is one divided by infinite time. We call
that moment-mind. If you attain that mind, then this whole world's movement
stops. From moment to moment you can see this world completely stop.
Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Like the film, you perceive every frame--
this moment--which is infinitely still and complete. In the frame, nothing
is moving. There is no time, and nothing appears or disappears in that
box. But this movie projector--your thinking mind-- is always moving,
around and around and around, so you experience this world as constantly
moving and you constantly experience change, which is impermanence.
You lose moment-mind by following your conceptual thinking, believing
that it is real."
St. Augustine
suggested that maybe time is measured in the mind. It is not an event
itself that is measured, but instead, the impression that it leaves on
the mind. This is what is meant by psychological time to a large extent.
Everything
we call "the past" is, literally, nothing but present memories.
Likewise, everything we call "the future" is nothing but present
memories inverted, or rearranged, to form a prediction or expectation.
In other words, the appearance of "time" is little more than
a trick of memory. You can easily discern this for yourself: simply figure
out what it is you consider "the past" and "the future."
You will discover that it is nothing but thoughts nothing but memories,
nothing but expectations, nothing but mental commentary. It's "all
in your head," so to speak.
There's really no such thing as time. There is really only Now
an eternally present Present with no beginning and no ending. Everything
is completely new, distinct, and original every instant, with no real
"change" or "motion" at all.
The mystic-philosopher
Heraclitus, explaining this point, said, "A man cannot step in the
same river twice." (If you think hard enough about it, theres
a lot of wisdom contained in that simple statement).
Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its
current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and
another takes its place and this too will be swept away.
Marcus Aurelius (121-180 A.D.)
A Japanese warrior was captured by his enemies and thrown into prison.
That night he was unable to sleep because he feared that the next day
he would be interrogated, tortured, and executed. Then the words of his
Zen master came to him, "Tomorrow is not real. It is an illusion.
The only reality is now." Heeding these words, the warrior became
peaceful and fell asleep. Okay, okay, so about now ya just might be asking:
Can understanding that time is an illusion really serve us in our
quest to manifest our desires?" Well, thats exactly the question
I asked one of the mentors featured in Vol. 1 of Conversations
With the Worlds Top Manifestation Mentors.
The short version of his response, paraphrased, was: It is related
to manifesting, in fact there are specific benefits of mastering holographic
time [understanding that everything happens in the here and now and perceiving
time as directly linked to your consciousness, not fragmented moments
placed beside each other on a one-way line].
You become more centered, patient and focused. You can achieve clarity
in your desires and what you really want, which helps you to manifest
whatever you desire, because of that clarity. It also helps you to understand
your emotional state and create them at will
And, as a corollary to the benefits of understanding the true nature of
ever-present-moment time, Deepak Chopra, in his book The Book of Secrets,
suggests that even though time is essential to functioning
in this world, the conditionings of the past must be released, and the
anxiety and fantasy projections of the future, must not be allowed to
control our lives. He says the misuse of time (which is a symptom for
misplaced attention) can bring about the following:
- Being
anxious about the future
- Reliving
the past
- Regretting
old mistakes
- Anticipating
tomorrow
- Racing
against the clock
- Resisting
change
Once you
understand that you can change how you perceive time then you can control
time in your life. Unfortunately that does not mean that you can get home
in rush hour traffic in ten minutes when it normally takes you an hour.
But you can control how you perceive that hour. You see man created the
concept of time to help him control and categorize his world. This was
done by dividing up the things he saw in nature the seasons and
the smaller time bits like the phases of the moon and the still smaller
bits of the rising and setting of the sun into smaller and smaller chunks
so that he could better arrange his life. Though what has been mostly
forgotten is time is an illusion. If youre still with me and like
this whole fluid time idea, try this: the next time youre in a boring
situation, like say stuck in traffic, relax take a few deep breaths and
tell yourself that five minutes are as one" and repeat that
several times. This will change your perception of time so though you
will still have to drive those five minutes they will seem like only one
minute.
And I am willing to bet that the commute won't seem nearly as long as
usual. There are so many application of this concept the only real limit
is your imagination.
According to David Cameron, with the understanding of that time
only exist in the present moment, heres some tips to A) quit
going thru life reacting to things based off memories of the past and
B) to quit misusing your imagination about the future:
Most people do and see the things that occur most often in their
lives in an unconscious and unaware state. Because they have seen or
done something once, they turn to relying on their memories of it and
labels about it that they built in their minds the first time. Learning
and discovery drops to zero. Memories of the past experiences take over.
What good does it serve you to live today based on your memory of it
yesterday? You miss the gift of the present moment totally! In your
business or work, do you take an absolutely fresh look at your work,
workmates and customers each new day, or do you go by how you know
them in their past? Everything changes, and using memory keeps you from
seeing that change, seeing things as they truly are. Try to forget
everything about what you looking at, and you will discover a whole
new world, and you will grow a whole lot faster, grow your wealth and
self a whole lot quicker.
In reference
to the future, he goes on to say:
Do
not spend all day daydreaming about a future time, saying if only,
mentally escaping your present and dwelling n an imaginary tomorrow,
going on about the whole day in a dreamlike state, being only half aware
and conscious of the details going on in your day these things
actually slow you down on your trip to a better tomorrow. Just as it
is necessary that you set future goals, it is necessary that you embrace
and experience the present and act in it consciously and with awareness,
if you wish to progress. Remember, the universe can only use the present
moment to send you clues, people, events and opportunities to advance
it cannot use the imaginary future in your head. Instead of chasing
a better future by throwing your consciousness into the future, bring
it back to the present and let the future chase it there.
What
you don't know that you don't know
So, there
you have it. Some keys shifts in perception about some key unquestioning
beliefs that you may have grew up with. Im not saying you even have
to believe in these new shifts in thinking that Im encouraging you
to look at
cause, quite frankly dear Watson, youre undoubtedly
here on this physical plane to experience (and believe in) your OWN thoughts,
ideas, desires and goals.
The 5 ideas above, that suggest looking at the world a tad differently,
may pitch an unfamiliar view of everyday existence and there is no way
of knowing whether you can take hold of them without letting them slip
through your fingers. But, even if your ideas and beliefs about the illusions
of life DO seem to sync with mine and you CAN hold on to what Ive
said so far and perform what I list below, there is still one serious
point you should consider: If they dont serve you in your quest
to make this physical experience we call Life PAY YOUR PRICE
to reach a state of fairly consistent happiness without feeling
you have to struggle for it then keep asking for new direction.
If you need more, or other, uncommon views of the world to create what
you want and be happy, then start exploring what you don't know that you
don't know.
