Default Got Questions??

I sure do!

I was reading (again) about Subjective Reality

"Who are you?

I am a manifestation of your thoughts. You believe I exist; therefore, I exist. My existence will be subject to your expectations. If you believe I can be helpful to you, then I will be helpful. If you believe I am misguided, then that will be your experience of me."

Okay if there is someone that is a manifestation of my thoughts that I no longer want to experience how can I make them go away?? I want them to go away.


Then this:


"But what if you believe you can fly, but I’m certain you can’t, and you go jump off a tall building and try to fly"

Okay so let me get this straight....since "I" am the thinker here....in both situations the flying isn't gonna happen?? What if we both think you can fly?

I really want some things in my life and I want them soon..so please tell me how I can CONTROL "my" world..thats what I really want is CONTROL over what happens in my life...IS THIS POSSIBLE??????? Is this what this subjective reality or even the law of attraction is trying to say or am I just not getting this stuff at all?? I first learned about the law of attraction 7 years ago..

I get really stumped when the subconscious stuff is mentioned..because the subconcious doesn't seem controllable......What is up!!!???

HUman beings don't control their own thoughts, therefored the link between thoughts and reality wouldn't give you complete control over the reality.

You control your thoughts weather consciously or unconsciously. There are thoughts going through your head all the time no matter what you are doing. There are many tools that can help you control your thoughts like meditation you just have to look around. The more you practice control the better you will become at it and the more you force what kind of thoughts you want on your mind the more they will appear unconsciously.

Don't think about elephants in the next minute please. If you would be able to control your thought perfectly that should be an easy task. But it isn't.
