If you use I-M (and if it works), the result will be: you'll get what the universe wants (not what you want).
I can live with that, but like I said in the previous post, this makes I-M a redundant pastime. | Is this something you realized recently? I've been seeing your messages along this theme, and I haven't said anything but you're on the right track. I experienced this "planting" of thoughts you speak of, have you? |
To explain this, I have to return to my "life is a role-playing game" analogy:
Consider an RPG. You choose an avatar and you start the game.
Everything in that game (all possible adventures you might experience) is predetermined by the game developer.
In reality the RPG is physically located on a disk as a static, extremely long chain of microscopic bumps.
To experience that RPG, the series of bumps in the disk must be transformed in pictures and sounds.
In other words, we must introduce an illusion to experience that RPG:
(a) by identifying yourself with your chosen avatar, you put yourself in illusion
(b) time unfolds all adventures you will experience
While in reality there's only a static series of microscopic bumps on a disk, you experience now all kinds of adventures one after the other.
You enjoy the game, no matter that this is in fact only illusion.
You play that game indirectly, via your avatar. If that avatar would have consciousness, he might think: I have free will, I think what I will and I do what I will, but in reality, it is you (the game player) that manipulates that avatar.
For me, this is more than an analogy, I consider my life really as some kind of RPG.
If I identify myself with this human body (my avatar), I think that I have free will, that I can change my future (through I-M, for example
).
However, I know that I'm not that body, that in reality I am the manipulator of that body, that I have chosen that body to experience human life.
I know that I have no choices than to follow my pathway in this "life game", but this makes my life so interesting: I don't care what the future will bring, it's part of the game.
That's the reason why I deliberately don't want to use I-M.
Everything is predetermined by the "game developer" and whether that game developer and the game player is the same person, that's up to you to decide.
