impaul99: I can get great results by establishing goals and then working out ways to reach it. But i do have a deep faith that i will achieve it, because i really trust in myself, so i think that as long as there is faith, your method and mine arent very different.
themaster: You're right, the concept of LoA you guys believe in is really a religion, actually its the best religion ive seen lately, because almost every belief of this religion helps us out in our life, but is still a religion. And being a religion, it can be false, and sometimes i might get screwed if i give up reason and have a blind faith in something.
Acting Like Godot: Interesting blog and records, but i would rather believe it if some kind of scientific research was done on LoA, and where the results can't possibly be normal and coincidence. Not that im saying youre lying or anything, but since i personally dont know you neither do i know your life, i keep a feet back from changing my mind based on what other people say that happened to them.

That the mind has amazing powers i have never disagreed, faith is powerful. Our mind can surely change our body in ways the science hasnt really figured yet. But the power of the mind has some limits. It cant, lets say, make us win in the lottery just because we intend to and deeply believe we will. And i wont enter the "subjective reality" thing i've read in an article of this site, because that concept leaves no space for discussion, we either believe it or dont.

This is amazing, and it would change my concept of reality if it's real, so could you give me some links where i can know more about this?

Our thoughts are connected - Scientific studies have shown that people who have spent time together are actually linked in some way. The experiments work like this. Put people together in a room for an hour or so, then seperate them. Now take one of the individuals and create measurable brain activity in them by flashing lights in their eyes or using other such methods. The exact same brain activity at the same time is measured in the other person who is just sitting in an isolated room and is experiencing no physical stimulus.
Our thoughts are capable of transcending time and space - Remote viewing has been tested again and again, to be a significant, measurable, and unexplainable occurrence.
I began my journey from the same place you are standing now Sam988. And science has backed me up, each step I have taken.
Science is not to the point of explaining the how of what is happening. But it is starting to show that something unexplainable is happening. That is significant, and any sceptic worth his weight should at least admit that. |
Yes, indeed science is "starting to show something unexplainable is happening", but something unexplainable today is just some time away from being explained and figured. Maybe this comparison isnt very good, but its the best i tought of now.
Just look at that "possessed" guy of the cemetery in the bible, who could break iron chains. At that time, science couldnt explain the phenomena at all, nowaydas we know he was very likely to have epilepsia, and about the iron chains we know now that people under situations of extreme stress and danger can do unbeliveable things. But since science couldnt explain it at that time, the church went an said it was the demon who gave him this seemingly unnatural power, therefore, the Devil existed, as much as God and the Angels and all that stuff.
See where im going with this? Seemingly unnatural powers that are now not explainable and that do exist, cant prove and entire theory, that we have the Mind of God, that we are the only consciousness in our reality and everything happens because of our thinking, that we can be and get whatever we want, including the power to fly (as stated in the "subjective reality" article from this site), and so much more stuff i dont remember now.
