Could it be choice? You make a fundamental choice about something, then it's belief, then thoughts that change the program, change the reality? |
This is some interesting stuff man. I didn't really follow (still don't) your original line of reasoning, but your post got me thinking about this. I believe that you're right, choice is the catalyst for reality.
Being a quantum physics geek since I was a kid, this makes a whole lot of sense to me on many levels. I don't know if you're familiar with the double-slit experiment (

That fits in quite nicely with your hypothesis that it's the choice that determines the eventual outcome, not the thought. Essentially what you're looking at is a field of potential realities, and your choice determines which of those become a reality.
Of course, the real trick is being ABLE to make a choice. For example, I can decide that gravity doesn't apply to me, but as much as I repeat it and jump in the air, part of me "knows" that this isn't possible. But theoretically, there's a reality out there where gravity really doesn't apply to me, and there's a perfectly valid reason for it. So the real problem is that there are beliefs (or thoughts?) in the way of me being able to make that choice.
On a spiritual level, I find this interesting because it directly relates to the story of adam and eve and original sin. Whether you believe the story is literal or not, the story it tells is one of a choice (the first choice?) kicking off a series of events that is still in motion today.
Anyway, thought-provoking stuff, for sure. Good post.
