Still the only thing is unexplained – it is when the simulation ends forever…

Basically, on the subconscious level, you are alot like a movie director of your own life and you can even coordinate events “off-stage” with other movie directors. For example, if someone really really REALLY wants to buy the best car, and thinks about it day and night, his/her off-stage director will then coordinate with another off-stage director of someone who really really REALLY wants to sell his car to a worthy owner. If both desires match up “off-stage”, then real life events that occur “on-stage” will start to invisibly coordinate to where the two people, or “actors”, will inevitably meet-up at the right moment. One person may stumble across someone’s classified ad at exactly the right moment, while she happens to be at a shopping center two blocks away from the seller’s house. Or one person may make a comment to a friend of a friend of a friend about wanting to sell his car, and the buyer and seller connect that way.

Disclaimer: “Directors”, “actors”, “on-stage”, “off-stage” are all just terms to help draw out the analogy for explaining the synchronicity phenomenon. I’m sure that other analogies are more/less helpful to others.

The question about changing the color of my cat won’t help for three reasons. First, I don’t have a cat. Secondly, I’m colorblind. And thirdly, the question itself comes from a paradigm that would make this impossible. You won’t see cats changing colors as long as you believe it doesn’t happen in your reality. And if you did believe in the power of thoughts to control reality, you’d probably be trying to do much more interesting things than coloring cats. You are trying to see first and then believe, but you have it backwards. You’ll see it when you believe it. If you don’t believe it, you’ll never see it.

If I were to go and change a cat’s color, you’d never see it. If I told you I did it, you wouldn’t believe me. Any data I show you will only be filtered in a way that you’ll easily tear it to shreds. It won’t be convincing. What is “out there” can’t convince you of anything until you choose to believe.

Someone on my side of the fence will know also that people with different beliefs can’t share the same reality. So if there are a bunch of us cat colorers out there, we’re not going to bother to try to prove it to anyone. The people who need proof simply won’t intersect our reality very much; they’ll fall off the radar.

As the changes become more complex and widespread, the potential of changing something that contradicts other people’s reality also increases. In other words, I think making sinchronicity happen is a lot of work.

Why can’t you make much simpler changes that probably don’t affect as many people’s reality but is directly measurable, such as changing the color of your cat?

I’m with Kent, your blog is quickly losing my interest. I have really enjoyed your writing as it dealt with time management, motivation, goal setting, and productivity. I believe that is the point of this blog, right? Of course, it’s your blog and you can do what you want with it, but it’s my time, and I hate to waste it. In fact, I just wasted five minutues even responding to this drivel. But, maybe, in “your own private universe”, there is no better way to spend the day!

If you want to find out more about this kind of stuff you should get Personal Power II by Tony Robbins. He even has a good quote for this: “The past does not equal the future.” I think Steve is just trying to do something different from the traditional personal development gurus. At first I didn’t understand why he’s doing this either, but I’m slowly starting to. I think people get so caught up in the “practical” things that they never bother to dig deeper into the point of life itself. Of course the practical things are good to master as well, and Tony Robbins does an excellent job at this. If you want to get Personal Power II for about half the price on his own site, go to stressless.com and search for “Anthony Robbins” (without the quotes). For $100 you get 24 tapes full of priceless info (you can get CDs at Tony’s site, but they cost $210, and tapes cost $180 there).

“Practical” requires a context. What’s yours?
