"You don't have to change the World, just don't let it change you" I Am Thank-full that I have made Thankfulness a study. I heard a story, forget whose it was, maybe someone will recognize it; These folks decided that We were already asking for so much, maybe it was time to make a holiday to say Thanks! for what We have! It caught on! A Wonder-Full study, Thankfulness! THANK YOU (the 2 most important words) THANKS GIVING...THANKS...GIVING

A BIG THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL MY FELLOW SWIMMERS HERE FOR SHARING THOUGHTS, AND PUTTIN' UP WITH MINE. *******A SPECIAL THANKS TO THE CREATORS AND MAINTAINERS OF THIS ULC SITE!******* NAMASTE

Something i have wondered about, maybe someone here can shed some light on this? Genesis chapter 1, par. 26. God is making all 'things'... Now It says, "Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness...? US!...? Then It seems to go back to speaking in the singular, only saying US in the one paragraph...? Someone I know says, "GOD stands for Guardians Of Dimensions...?

Infinite Possibilities by Owen Waters Quantum physics is more than a century old; yet, people's eyes still glaze over when they first hear of its strange ways. In the sub-microscopic world of elementary energy particles, the universe acts very differently from the one we know in our physical world. As it turns out, the quantum world actually reveals the true nature of the universe, while what we see on the physical level is a carefully-created illusion. For example, at any point in time, life presents an array of infinite possibilities. When you make a decision as to what to do next, then - only then - does your immediate future become a reality instead of just another possibility. Then, and only then, does the next step in your history get written. In quantum physics, energetic particles, such as photons of light, only become particles of energy when you focus your attention upon them. Until then, they remain as fields of influence which radiate waves of energy, not particles. These waves of energy, rather than traveling as particles directly from A to B, spread out as waves that explore all possible paths before them. Energy particles live in a world of possibilities, waiting to be made manifest by a conscious decision from someone, somewhere. In a conscious universe, any form of attention, even that of a passive observer, manifests actual particles from the waves of potential. As a human, you were born to manifest a life from infinite possibilities. At each step along the way, you create history by deciding which possibility to explore and working your way through that action. You choose and create the experience from the potential and make it manifest. The quantum world gets even stranger when you find that, in its natural, unmanifested state, it is free from the constraints of time and space. Electrons routinely affect their own future, and even their own past. Quantum physicists even had to include "negative time" (traveling into the past) in their equations in order to include the time travel which is exhibited at the quantum level. Now, if the quantum world is the real world, the one from which our stable reality is constructed, then what does this mean for our possibilities? It certainly means that we have infinite choices for the future. The burning question is, how will the different choices turn out? People in research projects have used hypnosis to access deeper states of consciousness. In these deeper states of awareness, they have examined their own future possibilities based on their present-day options. The amazing thing is that these future paths are just as real to the exploring consciousness as the person's daily reality. It's as though all paths already exist, quantum physics-style, as an array of possibilities that are very real, just not yet manifested. For example, in hypnotherapist Brian Weiss's book, "Same Soul, Many Bodies," a patient who was convinced that suicide was his only real option was progressed - moved forward in time - to see how his suicide would turn out. He expected to find that the suicide would provide the desired relief from his crushing business problems. Instead, he saw how much grief he would have caused his wife and children. Worse still, he saw that his family members would take the blame for his death upon themselves, feeling that they should have somehow helped him and prevented such a tragedy. Then, he was progressed into a future where he had decided against suicide and, instead, faced up to his crisis of personal failure. Instead of being shunned by his family and friends, as he had expected, he saw them helping him to work through the crisis and recover his standing in the business world. As his consciousness moved through this alternative life, he saw the effects of following the sense of newfound joy that he had allowed into his life. In the light of such possibilities, his intended suicide was no longer a viable option and he chose the path towards joy. I find it fascinating that alternate futures exist in such detail, in such vivid reality, for each person. Not only do they exist as possibilities, they seem as real as if the person had already lived them. Those who view these alternate futures are not making them up. In the above example, the person considering suicide was so depressed about himself that he thought his family would say "Good riddance" when he was gone; he could not have made up the scenes of the alternative futures that he saw under hypnosis. Instead, people who see these future alternatives often learn from situations that they never could have imagined. In a universe created by Infinite Being, each one of us has, by design, infinite possibilities. The question is, what could you do today that will make your tomorrow even better than it would have been? Following your innermost joy means that you are using this inbuilt compass that points unfailingly towards greater fulfillment in life. *If you enjoyed today's article, forward it to a friend!

"Wizards are clear on their intention. They know what it is they really need; what underlies all their many wants and desires. Wizards hold this intention in their mind. And then let go. No attachment to how or when; just a simple openness to whatever may be -- and a silent delight in the synchronicities that come to be." - "How To Be A Wizard" by Peter Russell http://fusionanomaly.net/silentcommunication.html

http://www.lyricus.org/ Discourse #4 seems to be speaking to me on this subject. It tells me that it's not quantity of Intention , but Quality of Intention, that opens the door!

I appreciate the replys! It seems these 'powers', (going beyond where we are now, the door actually opening on 'command',) will come later, "When order has been established". At our present 'maturity', could you imagine the destruction if these 'abilities' were available to the 'average person'. Namaste

'Open Sesame' may not open the door for you...? Asking for comments on the use of the tool...'Volition' Doesn't it take Volition to do nothing? Maybe Volition is like the engine/catalyst that pushs you from the shore, on your journey?

For years I have wondered why when the wizard/magician, whoever, says 'Open Says Me', the door opens. This seems a great tool for Spiritual Growth, if used to remain in the NOW. No matter what you are doing at 'the moment', your intention does not change. Maybe 'agenda' is another word for this...Long term goal? Probably 'agenda' & 'long term goal' are not enough to describe this powerful tool available to us. Maybe intention is not the word. Volition must be the word for this? I have much respect for the ancient ways, and 'religions'. Maybe some of the 'work' they do is in developing Volition? Comments Appreciated! PEACE

Himitsuko, Thank You for the question. I carried it with me all day, trying to think of the answer. To summerize the answer; I would say that all things happen NOW. By living in the NOW, it seems I am 'there' waiting for them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPg9DnMP2D4 Eckhart Tolle is one of the best 'Zen teachers' I've heard, and never mentions it...How Zen! Namaste

True Zen comes from the no-minds of Gautam & Lao Tsu, Bodhidharma making the connect when he went from India to China. There really is no Zen Buddhism, cause religion is of the mind, and Zen means beyond mind. There is no philosophy cause philosophy is of the mind. Was Jesus a Christian? Was Gautam a Buddhist? Seems the students make the religions after the Master is gone. "Mind is only thought...Take away thought, where is mind?" The reason Zen is suited to combat is that combat is a NOW thing...Every thought is of past or future. There is no time for thought in combat. The mind is of no use NOW. Ever been in a car wreck? Happens fast, we usually don't remember the details. In sword play, as all martial arts, the training 'speaks' for itself. There is no thought. If you touch something very hot, do you have to think about moving away from the heat? If a weapon is fast approaching your sphere of energy...No time for thought! This is what Gautam and Lao Tsu discovered. If you shut off the chattering mind, truth remains. And your training remains, in Martial and other Arts. Thought is the 'dust on the mirror' that clouds our vision. No matter how Grand the thoughts...still dust clouding our vision. Tibetan Buddhism says; 1. Truth IS. 2. Mind is the barrier(dust). 3. No-mind is the door. Why do we need to invent stuff. We must be careful...Like Edgar Cayce said, "Mind is the maker." Isn't our Truth, our connection to each other, our Love, enough? If you shut off the mind, Truth is not gone. It is what's still 't/here'. "Nothing real can be threatened, Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the Peace of God." Gautam said; 'The fletcher whittles his arrows, The farmer tills his fields, The wise direct their mind." Maybe we can direct our mind AS we till the field, and whittle the arrows! "A thought is the smallest particle in the universe...Also the largest, cause the universe is made of it." Namaste

I read a great book years ago called, 'Who Dies', by Steven Levine. I then gave it to a friend who 'used it' sitting with a passing friend. I just saw it on Amazon.com for .01. Great Read!
