But how do you know that your own doubts aren't what is keeping you from being able to achieve the things you are setting out to do in these tests?
I have achieved the very thing that you are saying your tests proved was not possible.
I have had friends set up things for me to see. Write things on paper. Set up cards and objects. Do random things at certain times.
I was able to observe these inanimate objects and events during my conscious astral projections and verify them afterwards. The thing is, I completely believed in my ability to do so before the experiment. I wasn't setting out to prove anything. I just did it because I knew that I could.
I also enjoyed the reactions that I received from the other people involved.
There was quite a bit of mouth dropping and head scratching.
I suppose you could say that was "proof".
Whenever I received this validation it did inspire me to test my limitations further. As I continued to explore my abilities, I found that those early tests were mere parlor tricks compared to the scope of what is actually possible.
I soon reached the revelation that I am the one who decides the limits of my abilities. After this realization, I found my purpose in helping others to realize this potential in themselves.
Whenever someone says that something is impossible or unachievable they are usually mistaken. What they are truly saying is that they have already defined and decided their own limitations.
Everyone draws this line in different places and some choose not to draw it at all. The wonderful thing is that it is never set in stone. We all are equal in that we all possess the same unlimited potential. We have only to realize it.
I suppose you could say that is my defining philosophy.
There are no limits beyond those which we place upon ourselves.
