Powers of the Mind
Models of Reality
When I first started learning about the powers of the mind, my model of reality was what I call Objective Reality (from Steve Pavlina)...but when I shifted to a subjective reality model...things began to get real interesting!
Powers of the Mind: Objective Reality
- Separation is real
- Every person is a unique consciousness
- Consciousness arises from the body
- You are your body
- You can be hurt and die (you being your body)
- Your soul is something you may or may not think you have, you don't really think it is YOU.
I want to be believe in subjective reality, and I often forget that everyone I meet is working from the same consciousness...essentially ONE with me...but wait, I am getting a little ahead of myself...let's introduce the idea of...
Power of the Mind: Subjective Reality
- Separation is a projection or illusion
- Everyone is sharing one Consciousness
- Consciousness gives rise to my physical form
- I am Consciousness
- My body (a projection of consciousness) will die...but it's not me
- I am my soul which is me existing at a different level of consciousness
- There is only ONE consciousness
...but at the same time I was still working under all the assumptions of the objective reality model...so I couldn't figure out why any of this stuff worked...I knew it did...but it didn't really make much sense to me...and it seemed like magic or something. My results were cool...interesting, but rather limited.
I kept searching for the answer to why this all worked. I found the term subjective reality on Steve Pavlina's web site...and I had an AHA moment...but I still really didn't get it all the way...I still don't...but I am getting better everyday.
Powers of the Mind - Why Subjective Reality works better.
Subjective Reality is much like saying that our waking life is like a dream. In a dream, we all KNOW that all the characters in the dream world are contained within our consciousness...whatever they say or do...is a projection of our subconscious acting out a role for whatever dream purpose the character is playing.If you have a lucid dream, then you become aware of the fact that you are dreaming within the dream, and now you can not only fly, and have other superpowers, you can totally create the content of the entire dream world...change characters, have sex with a movie star...the sky's the limit!
So, if we translate subjective reality into what we experience in waking like...no we can't fly, unless we are in a plane...but that is only because we don't think we can. In a dream...we know we can fly like a bird...when we wake up...we know we can't...
...but, the powers of the mind, the law of attraction, makes complete sense now in the waking world.
You are not the dream character...you are the dreamer...and your body is your earth dream character.
So, when you use intention, and creative visualization and act as if your desires are coming true, then you (being the dreamer) will start to see evidence that the powers of the mind is merely YOU waking up and changing your dream based on your intentions...like in a lucid dream.
Powers of the Mind: How to Change to Subjective Reality
First off...it's not easy...the world is SLOWLY waking up to this reality model...it will take some time for large groups of folks to really embrace this model.Next, you really have to want to try out subjective reality for yourself and then see what results you get...a model of reality must be experienced first hand in order to be believed...just like in the Matrix...you have to take the red pill.
If you try to learn about subjective reality without trying to live as if subjective reality is real, then you will be filtering your results through objective reality.
Here are some ideas to try...
Read "A Course in Miracles" the Text and the lessons...this helped to expand the powers of the mind...
Do what Mother Teresa did when it comes to everyone else in her world...everyone she met...were all Jesus in disguise and she was married to her beloved Jesus...that's where she got her well-spring of compassion and power.
When you experience negative thoughts towards others...as soon as possible (stop throwing punches if you can...) remember that they are ONE with you...and whatever you put out in the world comes back to you...
...if you put out hate...you get more hate...
...if you put out courage and compassion, hey you get more courage and compassion...
This is not the end of the powers of the mind...I didn't come here to tell you how it ends...I came here...ok...enough with THE MATRIX already!
