RE: Imagine you had the power to change the world...
The first thing I strive for is truth, I believe with a clear view we have a much better ability to have the desired affect we want to have in this world. I think if you are wanting to change your world you must change your consciousness. And that entails a feeling that you take on that you maintain so strongly and with such faith that it becomes a reality. I've had minor successes with this that lead me to believe it to be true, like if we could understand how it would feel to live in a different way ti could become reality if maintained.
Mostly the writings by Neville Goddard led me to this kind of thinking. His stuff is free online for the most part as pdf if you wanna check it out. Nice article, this is on my mind as well!
Glad I was looking through my followers and remembered you, hadn't seen you around and I've been busy enough to have missed your posts. I think I need to remove some people from my follow list haha.
I am not sure if I understand that correctly. If I strive for truth, can I at the same time believe in something different than the reality I see and "force" to change it by my belief? At one hand, I don't think I'm able to create reality, or even a feeling, this way. At the other hand, part of me realizes there is some truth in that, remembering that's what those your-faith-has-healed-you cases from the Bible talk about. I'm definitely going to check out this Neville Goddard.
Thanks, I always appreciate your thoughts on my posts! I don't post very often, which is why I probably get lost in people's feed. That makes me even more grateful for you remembering me and checking out my posts.
I remembered you had some solid comments, I only get a few people with good interactions so I usually remember them :)
And honestly, I'm not sure I understand it either. Adyashanti has stated that at a certain point of spiritual understanding you can manifest almost anything you want. He also says that it can stop you from reaching the absolute truth, that it is a "spiritual cul-de-sac" slowing us down on our spiritual path. So take it with a grain of salt. It's still something I'm interested in, but it seems to be something other than a total surrender. I don't doubt that we can manifest, but whether it helps or hurts us, speeds us up or slows us down, is hard to know. I guess I would prefer to have truth and wisdom before I really venture into changing my consciousness in that way, but regular changes in consciousness will be happening as our understanding increases. Check out those books and let me know your opinion.
