I know that in subjective reality, my consciousness is creating a world based on my beleifs. I might have thought about plane crash about some point but I do know I havent thought about a young girl being raped. So how did it happen? |
In some cases, I would say yes, absvan. All consciousness is on a drive back to Source whether it knows it or not. It's automatic. You plant a seed, it grows up. On the drive back to source consciousness must experience certain things in order for it to take another step closer to That Which Is. Think of it as aquiring the proper "fit". Sometimes souls choose to die in such ways to help others aquire the proper fit, sometimes themselves. Eventually, everyone experiences everything though.
On LoA and Freewill
Free will is directly proportional to how much knowledge you have at any given time. Before life, when the illusion of time is not present, we see the probability currents our host bodies will likely take with our soul energy present inside them. The choices you make in life are related to how aware you are at any given time. You can do virtually anything you want to do in life, but what you wanted to do was preprogrammed before incarnation -- if you wish a linear reference. That is not necessarily a bad thing. Were you to rid yourself of disposition, and increase your awareness exponentially, you'd be aware of more choices, and with the lack of disposition for one choice over another, you would be in a maximum position for free will (as there would be a more equal probability for each potential choice). However, in such a scenario, the choice becomes arbitrary. The power achieved is inversley proportional to the desire to use it. You get more free will, but at the same time you lose preference for the outcome of the free will.
Notice how easy it is to have things when you don't care whether you have it or not? Disavowing desire is akin to disavowing the ego -- the barrier between you and the object you desire. This denies the illusionary separation. Your desires, beliefs, and conceptual models create this thing we call "disposition". You see, if it wasn't for your belief system, and other mental conditioning, you wouldn't have a preference for say sunshine over rain, warmth over coolness, or say, sugar over salt. When you throw your conditioning out the window, you move a couple steps closer to heart beat of the universe. In actuality, you were already there to begin with, you just forgot. It's time to become conscious of that reality. When you are free of desire and predisposition you gain the power to have anything you choose. At the same time, you realize you already have everything, so the choice need never be made. Afterall, at this state one "thing" is no better or worse than another "thing". Both are just "things". It is your belief system that says otherwise. Another example of power being inversely related to the desire to use it.
You see, desires reaffirm the separation and make it more real to us. Afterall, you wouldn't be 'wanting for something' if you already had the thing you wanted. So the more you desperately want something the more you are beating yourself back against the wall.
When you want something, trust that you already have it, or become utterly content that you never will -- both are the same in the calculus of faith. Yoda was wise to say, "Do or do not -- there is no try". Try implies failure.
Your beliefs don't create your reality -- they ARE your reality. "Thoughts Attracting" is a mental crutch. It is a way of thinking about it, but there is a deeper way. It's not that these things are floating out there and then you attract them to yourself and find yourself in the pit of woe and despair. You manifested it. It's fun to play with words.
That may seem like a semantical distinction, but here terminology is
very critical to understanding. The whole concept of "attraction" is rife with thoughts of separation. Think of it this way: you already have everything you ever wanted. Becoming successful at manifestation involves correcting the perception that the contrary is true. Attraction makes it sound like it is some sort of force -- like the laws of physics. The law of attraction/manifestation isn't like that. It's more like an agreement. The universe
responds to you, because it
IS YOU.
The trick is to convince yourself of that.
