Hahh...i just ripped this off a post i just wrote. its pretty informal but i think its frigging awesome. its a bit long too, but definitely not mindless repetition. a bit of rambling maybe, but interesting rambling. thought it might help people everywhere

"consciousness is all that matters

In GP, one of the most common arguments about technology questions is that technology is neutral, it can be used for good or bad purposes. And if you look beyond technology, you'll find that the concept of neutrality extends to almost everything; governments, logic vs emotions, the media, force, pacifism, power, money, sex, drugs, television, everything is neutral. Whether or not its used for constructive or destructive purposes depends entirely on the consciousness of the entity that uses it. that's why i sometimes find it a bit stupid to have to bypass or ignore this simple observation in order to answer a GP question without rambling/contradicting myself/giving an argument that appears to be effective. Consciousness is all that matters, a conscious, loving person will do good stuff, and vice versa.

It's cool that a lot of religions, quantum physics, mytics, spiritual teachings, medicine, hypnosis all point out to a simple fact that consciousness affects and influences reality, not just mentally or emotionally but physically. Until sec 3, i sorta accepted that the world functioned unaffected by my consciousness or my thoughts. Most people can accept that your consciousness affects you mentally and emotionally and can have some impact on your actions, but they suddenly find it difficult to accept that it can affect your entire reality even without you physically doing anything. I was keen to try the theory that "your thoughts affect reality" out and was hoping damn hard that it would work cause it would be so amazing and empowering if it really did...but i had a lot of doubts that stemmed from the belief that i couldn't influence reality just by thinking and feeling, fourteen/fifteen years worth of it.

I did get some success which kind of made me believe in it more and more, but it was always a kind of half-hearted belief which i always had to justify mentally whenever a doubt came up(which was often) Part of the reason was that a lot of the articles and authors i encountered only focused on all the positive successes and rarely/never addressed the person's doubts, problems that they experieneced and just basically making it sound as if it was all that easy. Well, it is very simple, but its certainly not easy. Also, i realised that a lot of them gave general advice without really explaining how it worked, probably because they DIDN'T REALLY KNOW HOW IT WORKED and just pretended to.

THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT POSITIVE THINKING REALLY IS

after a lot of insight from eckhart tolle and klaus joehle and my personal successes and experience, i believe i do.

the common understanding of positive thinking is limited to having thoughts that are positively phrased such as "wow, that's great! good job!" or looking at the positive side of things"well, you could've have screwed up even worse!". this kind of positive thinking at best has a minimal impact. You can screw up and someone sarcastically comments"wow, that's great! good job!(at ****ing up)", or tells you"well, you could've screwed up even worse". Very positively phrased words, but the energy and vibration is that of hate,attack,arrogance.

what really makes a difference is the energy and vibration that your thoughts can give you. trying to think positively when you feel like **** is very draining and just pathetic.I did a lot of it in the past and never felt any significant improvement, instead i felt like i was going around in circles, stagnating, pathetically trying to improve the situation. yet all those idiots who advocate this says that it works and all i have to do is to try it out!

well, **** them, i've finally leanred how positive thinking works. I use my thoughts to make me feel positive, loving, happy, excited, contented. Sometimes i visualise and fantasize that i'm completely independent, living with a group of friends and having lots of money and having lots of fun everyday. i think about it and go"wow that's amazing" and i start feeling really good. I sense how it'll feel like when i have that and let myself feel that. Another thing i like to fantasize about is to do some really heroic stunt, like maybe jumping from the second storey and saving this really pretty girl and then i'm a little bit hurt(not seriously, because i don't want to manifest that in reality) so the girl is all grateful and concerned about me, and everyone sees it and i feel like a hero and i love the girl's attention I just start to feel awesome when i think about that. the feeling will probably be different for everyone, the fantasies different but the basic concept is the same; use thoughts to make you feel positive.

I don't always do elaborate scenarios like that, i can just imagine that i have 36 million dollars and feel and appreciate how wonderful it is to have it. Or that everyone loves me, wants to talk to me, and feel and appreciate that. Whatever i want, i imagine that i have it and start to feel amazing.

I don't want to use the word "pretend", although it is a little bit of pretending. You don't really have that in your physical reality now, but you imagine you have it. To me, the process of imagining and feeling it is already creating it, the experience of having it, the feelings of having it, is very real. The good feeliings are certainly real, the things you imagine may not yet happen in physical reality, but just by thinkin and feeling positively, that reality is going to be directed towards those things you imagine. maybe i won't get an exact scenario of jumpin from the second storey, but maybe i'll just push samantha raeburn away from a falling object and you know, something similar or close to that happens, and the feelings i get from that is the same.

not everything you think about will manifest in physical reality, but everything you think/feel about will affect it. the more intensely and frequently you think/feel about something, the more likely its going to come because you're sending more and more energy to it
