My question is this: how many of you have had actual, definitely tangible and significant alterations in the "body of your experience" (the world) as a result of changing your inner world or feelings to this end.
Hi Voyager, welcome! A VERY good question and I’m looking forward to hearing what others have to say. I will answer this as carefully and thoroughly as I can as I’ve not previously had the opportunity to put this into words or thoughts.
The short answer is, yes, I’ve had proof of this in my own life.
I’ve been in what I’ve considered unrecoverable situations, a downward spiral with no way out, and have at some point paused and remembered Esther Hicks’s words “reach for the next better-feeling thought.” Not long after doing so, the situation will shift or a solution will appear that came out of nowhere. This can’t be documented really, it’s totally subjective, and interpretation of any event is as well and totally based on our perceptions and beliefs, but I’ve been around long enough to appreciate cause and effect. I haven’t yet woken up in the morning, living in a castle, young, beautiful and rich in life beyond my wildest dreams, but that is fantasy to me. It’s the little stuff that adds up and makes me think, “wow, there really is something to this.” Have you ever pondered a new direction in your life and suddenly all these doors open, situations fall into place that were not there before? People call from out of the blue, sometimes people you haven’t heard from in years? How do you prove this is not all coincidence? I don’t think you can. But if you are conscious in trying to create a new reality and start seeing some proof that it’s working… why discount that? If one of us could provide you with dramatic, concrete proof, would you accept that or just consider it that another person’s perceptions? I'm not being critical, just asking, because I tend to be skeptical and need personal proof of things. But how do I say my life experience would have been one way but went another way instead? I don't know.
One little story, which could be written off as coincidence: When I was debating whether I should make this forum or not, I went out to run an errand. Within a couple of minutes a car I was next to at a traffic light had a sticker for Elmira College on the back. A while later, at another intersection, a different car had an Elmira, NY dealership sticker on the back. Later on, Elmira showed up on something else. Keep in mind I live near Denver, 1500+ miles away from New York. I finally decided it was Jane giving me the go-ahead nod. Am I delusional? Could be. But, to see Elmira not once, but three different times on one local outing is quite the coincidence to me.
Years ago I was into ghost hunting. I am a skeptic, but for me it was exploration of spirituality from another angle and to find out if there's more to here than meets the eye. Plus an excuse to wander around in some very well-known *haunted* locations across the country. People were always looking for proof of ghosts, wanting to see photos or listen to EVPs from others, but then discounting them because all of that could be faked, and one person’s shadow is another person’s ghost. I ended up choosing to experience my investigations by using only myself as my *detection* equipment, to prove to myself alone that there's something out there. I move very quietly and have scared a lot of people in the process because of that, but I’ve had some inexplicable personal experiences (and some recorded) that I value. Are there ghosts? I don’t know, Seth says there are, but I can say I’ve had experiences that have NO EXPLANATION in this reality we know and they are worth everything to me—and nothing to others.
If you’re looking for real, documented proof of how we make our reality, at least on the level of our health, bodies and genetics, you might want to look into
You are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter by Joe Dispenza. His book is full of scientific reports and studies done on the placebo effect and how people were/are able to heal their bodies, spontaneously recover from critical illnesses and turn genes on and off (unsuspectingly) using the power of their minds. Our beliefs are the filters through which we perceive (and experience) our individual realities. So then, are we changing a concrete reality or just changing our perceptions of reality? How do we know?
If all is energy, then extending that power to change, beyond the body, is not unbelievable. If you want to really have your socks knocked off, do a little research into beliefs and multiple personality disorder. Life-threatening allergies in one personality don’t exist in another. The same goes for illnesses. Eye colors can change. Things like that have one thing in common: beliefs that make that one personality’s experiences different than another, all within the same physical vehicle.
I’m going to a Joe Dispenza workshop, with my son, this weekend. Joe's message? Change your mind, change your life. The book combines the latest research in neuroscience, biology, psychology, hypnosis, behavioral conditioning and quantum physics to demystify the workings of the placebo effect, explains how meditation works on the body and mind, explains how to change beliefs and what gets in our way. Exciting stuff, at least to me. Joe does not only focus on changing health, he incorporates that we make our own reality and is completely in alignment with the teachings of Seth.
I’ll report back next week if I learn anything. That is, if I’m not already living in a castle somewhere in Europe, young, beautiful and rich in life beyond my wildest dreams. lol.
Update: Okay, as if I haven't already written too much, here's a video of Dr. Joe if you're interested in what he has to say. It's 20 minutes (I know, long...), but you can skip around to get an idea of what he's about.
