It is very true that in life, there will always be resistance or some force that make you feel bad about thing (e.g. enter a relationship, change your hair color or any physical change, do anything that people somehow make you think is bad from the childhood) and I also concluded that those can be considered like a kind-of test. If you go beyond those barrier, those people, those don’t-do… that means that you really wanted to do what you did. (e.g. sleep with the lapdance girl, go in art, be a singer, whetever :D)

I think that’s a very crucial distinction - freedom from doubt.

It should definitely be a key factor in choosing your core beliefs, e.g. I could strongly choose to believe I could defy gravity, but standing on top off a building obviously will rais a lot of doubt about whether it’s going to hold up or not.

Steve, do you have some sort of God principle you use in your life, even though you’ve turned away from that originally? Have you redefined it in anyway from Christianity, or do you believe something else all together? Are you free of doubt in that area?

So what causes this? Have you ever noticed that when you hear that your friend has bought an XYZ motor car you think to yourself “Why would he buy an XYZ - nobody drives them!” But over the next three days you see dozens of these cars where ever you drive.

It is simply that you are now attuned to looking for XYZ cars. Similarly, once you have truly committed to a course of action you will be aware of things, circumstances and people that can assist you. You would have come across these same things if you had not been on the mission you have selected, but they would have simply passed you by unnoticed because you were not receptive to their potential.

Thanks for reminding me of that. That makes a lot more sense to me now.

“Now everyone will probably think that Steve’s not the only one who’s crazy around here. :)”

I find going ‘crazy’ quite liberating at the moment actually.

Never mind him, what’s up with that guy in the mirror who’s always staring at me. It’s just … weird!

Enjoy your day!

I think that the current design of our brain is too limited to fully understand the universe at a high enough level. We’re highly evolved primates, but we’re still pretty limited. We don’t even have faster than light space travel yet (hell, we don’t even have much sublight space travel yet) or colonies on planets within our own solar system (though that’s probably going to change in this century).

Anyway, back to what you were saying. If you’re into sci-fi and have watched Stargate SG1, that show has “ascended beings” in it, which are aliens that have evolved to a point where they have turned into pure energy and now live in a diffrent plane of existence (or something to that effect). Babylon 5 also had something similar where the aliens Vorlons (who in the scope of the show were a species of the “first ones,” or in other words beings who were the first to be created by the universe billions of years ago) existed as pure energy as well. What I’m getting at is that in our current form, I doubt we will ever fully understand the universe. It’s possible though that we may encounter an alien species that’s been around for billions of years longer than us, and they might be able to enlighten us a bit or help us evolve and “ascend.” Or they could tell us that they’re gods and enslave us and make us worship them.

If you remember one of Steve’s earlier posts, he said that the lens we look through determines what we can see and what we can’t see (or something like that). He made the example that if a person can only see things in 2D, then if you show them a 3D object they’ll only see the 2D projection of it (so a cube would be a square, and a sphere would be a circle). This I think is a perfect analogy to our limitation in understanding the universe. The universe might be 4D, 5D, or 1000D but our eyes can only see in 3D. Anything we come up with will only be a projection of the universe onto a 3D world.

Now everyone will probably think that Steve’s not the only one who’s crazy around here.

Interesting way of lookint at it. I remember Steve sort of saying this as well earlier this year (thoughts / beliefs shaping reality).

Previously I would have just said ‘Luck is where Preparation meets Opportunity’, and part of me has now started wondering about this comment.

If I move my water bottle I’ve physically altered the state of the Universe. If I have a thought my brain has (probably) physically changed. Maybe we’re all part of the same Universal Equation where what you think does have some effect on our the other variables (outside world, etc). Maybe some star just brightened up a bit as a result of the thought you just had. Careful what you think now…

Some of the floatier books I’ve read (you know, the ones that won’t stay on your bookshelf) all seem to point to something bigger than ourselves, e.g. God, God Force, Universal Mind, Collective, Deceased Spirits, Telepathy, Parallel Universes (one where I would now be at work), etc.

We know that are mind fills in the gaps for whatever believe we choose (perception on reality), so how can I ever know for sure that these things hold up. Or does it simply not matter as long as they make my life ‘better’ (one of those lies of success )? Or are they actually closer to the Universal Truth which is why they work?

So my question is (to everyone) what do you guys make of this? Is there a Universal Truth, or are we simply making it up in order to have a more exciting life? How do I measure this ‘objectively’? Where’s the manual for re-arranging the Universe? If I choose to believe I don’t exist will I disappear?

Now what am I supposed to do with the copy of this poem posted in my office???
