I was just further pondering what I wrote above, and thought, "hmm, that's all very high level. I bet, when it comes down to it, you couldn't just, say, bath in the light of the sun even if you believed that's all you needed -- you'd need at least some form of physical sustenance".
But then I was reminded of a quote I got from my Abraham-Hicks
quote of the day email subscription today:
Quote:
There is no state of physical decline or damage that you could not
recover from--none--not any, if you knew it... If you wanted it and knew
that you could. And that's those miracles that they talk about every
day. They're not miracles at all, they are the natural order of things.
But because they are rare, people think they are miraculous. They're
not. That's the way it is supposed to be. You're supposed to thrive

I recall once reading that Abraham said we could regrow limbs if we believed we could. I've never seen somebody do that, but then again, I don't think I believe we can do that. I don't not believe it, but it's not something I believe to be possible on the same level as say, "if I get up from my chair, gravity will keep holding me down". So perhaps I'm not attracting those rare people who can re-grow limbs?
This reminds me of the future "progression" you
wrote about, Steve:
Quote:
This was an experiential workshop, so we did three different group exercises: a past-life regression, a psychometry exercise, and a future-life regression (perhaps progression is a better word). [...]
With the future life experience though, I imagined myself living 500 years hence. I didn’t pick up much detail, but I knew that human beings had physically evolved in some way. It felt very different being in a human body, as if I had other senses and abilities that I didn’t have now, such as being able to float above the ground in addition to walking around. It was like gravity had no effect on people unless they wanted it to. |
If you take what Abraham-Hicks talks about to the furthest logical conclusion, this sort of "crazy" stuff would make perfect sense. If we can attract money, relationships, and everything else, will we eventually get past all of this "small stuff" and move onto changing more high-level beliefs, such as whether gravity has an effect, or rather, whether our beliefs about how reality are even accurate, which may lead us to unraveling lots of assumptions in a kind of "back to basics" way, like you described in your podcast about subjective reality.
Are we just beginning to toy with our new "creation" powers, only to move beyond this silly "manifesting money" and other trivialities and more onto greater (and previously unquestioned) things?
