If so, does it mean that 'simpler things' (more similar to information) always are easiest manifested with action? (e.g. a blue feather, more money, a beer) while more complex things (things not easily reduced to information) like a partner, job etc are better brought about with focused intention?
Hope this makes some sense  |
Wow, I must have missed that comment somehow, Geiger. Well, better late than never! Only a coupl-o-months late in anycase!
Interestingly enough, Geiger, everything is composed of information. But the difference is between "fluid" information and "static" information. You see, physical objects like a rock or a tree or a chair have a very static [energy/information/consciousness] field (well, at least on the macroscopic level we, as human beings perceive them on). Metaphysically, at a very basic level of consciousness (of which all things are composed), this is because the energy field is very "habituated" to its reality. It has a very high "cohesiveness of association" to its current reality. It's very focused and specialized in other words.
The energy of your consciousness is different from the consciousness of like, say, a rock. At least we hope so
. It could be said your consciousness is "higher" because you have more freedom in awareness than the rock. It's free will is very constricted. It's pretty much stuck being focused as a rock, unless something intervenes and causes an energetic reaction with it (as a side note: after eons as a rock its free will gradually increase until it is more than just a rock--energy always cries out for evolution of some sort). The cohesiveness of association of your consciousness is not as high as the rock, so you aren't glued to one specific reality. Because of this, the energy of your consciousness is malleable and can be directed toward a variety of things. This is what makes manifestation/creation possible. Because of this little fact, the energy of your awareness can alter the cohesiveness of realities.
Things that have a low degree of cohesiveness are the easiest to change. Dreams usually have a very low degree of cohesiveness so the reality is very malleable. Things that have a high degree of cohesiveness, like physical objects are more difficult to alter because it requires your consciousness to be more resolved about its reality than it is. It takes more focus and intensity to alter or transform a physical object. Like everything else, it is a muscle that can be developed. The rock has developed the muscle of existing as a rock, so to alter the reality of that, your muscle of it being something else would have to be greater. That takes a high degree of intensity. But then, "intense" is a sliding relative scale. There are beings incarnate that slather realities around like we slather butter on toast.
But to answer your original question, it may be easier to just go physically get something rather than display your awesome mind power by materializing a new car in your driveway or something like that. I'm not saying it can't be done, mind you, just saying its all depends on what you're trying to do. You do create your own reality. But you have to take into the consideration the level of resistance inherent in the energy you are attempting to manipulate, which I've termed the cohesiveness of association.
People who have been meditating for many years usually experience a higher intensity of awareness which could possibly rival that of their surrounding reality field. Some of them are schizophrenic and delusional. Some of them are saints and masters. These individuals experience many "fluctuations" or "alterations" in their reality. In the east they call them siddhis -- the powers of the mind. An advanced meditator will experience more synchronicities or "magickal phenomena" than someone who has not spent time meditating. For example, in the book Far Journey's by Robert Monroe, he notes how he began to experience some strange physical phenomena involving materializations and even spontaneous levitation (after falling down stairs) after years of practicing astral projection and meditating. It may not even be "meditation" as we would define it. Intense trauma, obsessive daydreaming, contemplation, long hours at work focusing on specific problems, and other life experiences could also serve to develop and concentrate the cohesiveness altering ability of the mind.
Well I hope you found some of that interesting.
