Consider this, for
example. Your eyes have a blind spot where the optic nerve connects to the eye
in the middle of the retina. You can’t see anything with that part of your eye.
Still, your brain manages to weave a picture together from the information it
receives and fills the gap by making assumptions based on what it expects from
its conditioned belief systems.
Another example is the
condition that is commonly referred to as the ‘phantom limb syndrome’. People
dealing with phantom limb syndrome experience the sensations of having a limb
that was actually amputated or lost to still be attached to the body and still
actually feeling the limb. The five senses still seem to react to the brain’s
conditioned sense of reality.
Even more astonishing
examples can be seen in the field of hypnosis. Everyone knows about the
experiences in stage shows, in which people are made to believe they are seeing
the audience naked, or they run around like a chicken and things like that.
Another common example
is that the hypnotist makes the subjects believe they are eating onions while
thinking they’re eating apples. As an observer you can clearly see that the
person is eating an onion, usually expressing clear signs of disgust at the
mere thought of it. However, to the person that is hypnotized, the onion
actually tastes like an apple.
What happens is that the
hypnotist implants a new belief that changes the experience of the person being
hypnotized. A new ‘hypnotic reality’ is created based on a new belief system,
namely that an onion tastes like an apple. To the person that is being
hypnotized, this reality is just as ‘real’ as the one in his or her ‘awakened
state’.
In his book The
Holographic Universe, the late Michael Talbot describes another experience with
hypnosis. He recalls a gathering with a group of friends, and for entertainment
purposes his father hired a professional hypnotist. One of the friends was
called Tom, and Tom was the lucky guy to get hypnotized.
The hypnotist made Tom
believe that there was a giraffe in the room, and the story with the onion
tasting like an apple was used as well (except for the onion being a raw potato
this time). But then came an even more interesting part.
During his trance
state, the hypnotist told Tom that when he would awake, he would not be able to
see his daughter Laura. Next, he brought Tom back to ‘waking’ consciousness and
asked Laura to stand in front of her father. When he asked Tom if he could see
his daughter, he replied that he couldn’t. Laura laughed about it, and even
that didn’t make Tom realize his daughter was right in front of him.
After that, the
hypnotist stood behind Laura and hid something for Tom by holding it against
her back. So to see what he was holding, Tom would have to be able to look
through his daughter. When the hypnotist asked Tom what he was holding in his
hand, Tom leaned forward to take a good look and answered: “A watch”.
Tom was right. After
that, the hypnotist asked Tom if he could read the inscription on the watch.
Tom had to take a good look, but he actually managed to read the inscription,
while his daughter was standing between him and the watch.
So what happened? Tom
had in fact been programmed to believe he couldn’t see his daughter, so he
didn’t. Such is the power of your mind.
Another example is
proved by Charles T. Tart, who was a professor of Psychology at the University of California (Davis Campus). In his book ‘Altered
States of Consciousness’ he describes how he had two skilled hypnotists called
Anne and Bill hypnotize each other.
What he was trying to
do was to synchronize their two hypnotic realities. And that’s what they managed
to do. The two found themselves experiencing the same place, which was a
beautiful beach. They swam together in the ocean and studied the crystalline
rocks. They even reported talking to each other, even though they were not
speaking ‘physically’ in the ‘reality’ from where Tart was observing them.
From their experience
the ‘hypnotic reality’ was every bit as ‘real’ as their ‘awakened state’. They
had ‘regular’ five-sense-like sensations. Still, they recalled that during
their hypnotic experience they often forgot to manifest their bodies and were
floating around as just heads and faces. At one point, Bill asked Anne to take
his hand, but she first had to ‘think her hand into existence’ before she was
able to do this.
These examples of hypnosis give some
indications of how ‘reality’ is created ‘in here’, and not ‘out there’, as most
of us are conditioned to believe. They show how your whole life experience
changes once you change your most basic assumptions about reality.
This is not to say
that you should go about getting hypnotized into another reality right away
(although in some cases hypnosis can be useful for de-programming purposes). The
key is to realize that you may be ‘hypnotized’ right now into a programmed
sense of reality that may or may not fit your bill.
The solution then is
not to hypnotize yourself into another limited sense of reality. That would be
akin to accepting that you have the power to create anything you want and the
infinite possibility that comes with it, but still choosing limitation.
Besides, in that regard many people are often inclined to choose a reality that
they only think they want, because
that fits the artificially imposed measures of ‘success’ (see our previous post
on this).
But that would never bring you the sense of
freedom and happiness that you really seek. The keys to that are
‘self-realization’ and ‘self-fulfillment’. When you realize what you really want, and start pursuing that,
you will find that the path to get there will be almost laid-out for you.
All you need to do is
to act on the inspirations that you get. These actions will get you there. It’s
a guidance by a deeper, subconscious level of yourself, which is beyond the
limited perspective of your conscious mind (more about this in a future article).
The problem is that
most people have a severely limited perspective of who they are and what they
are capable of. And another problem is, that the way ‘society’ is set up, does
not stimulate those levels of yourself that can get the game of what we tend to
call ‘attraction’ in true motion.
We are constantly
being programmed into accepting certain realities, because that’s what makes
those realities manifest. In the movie ‘The Matrix’ (the first one), the woman
known as the ‘Oracle’ tells the main character called Neo not to worry about
the vase. “What vase?”, he asks. And as he asks this question, a vase falls on
the floor and shatters into pieces next to him. He apologizes for breaking it,
but the Oracle replies:
“What’s really going
to cook your noodle is would it have happened if I hadn’t said anything?”
Think about that for a
second…
Anyway, we’ll give
some more examples of how this is done in future articles. But for now, try to
understand that all our lives, our belief systems are conditioned with the
limited views that prevail our societies. The true knowledge about who we
really are and what we’re capable of were suppressed or even lost, or have at
least been given far from sufficient attention. But you can change your belief
systems, and thus your reality. And the knowledge is at your fingertips!
But once again, that
doesn’t mean you should program yourself into a new reality of ‘limitation’. The
real solution is to awaken from your hypnotized state and realize that you
control your reality, and that you co-create our collective reality on this
plane of existence with each and everybody else. The real solution is to
realize who you are, and act according to that ‘instinct’. Once you accept who
you are, the walls of limitation will start to crumble immediately.
You don’t have to ‘seek enlightenment’ or
anything like that. It’s already knocking on your door. You just need to open
it up and let it in.
However, what most of us do is like sticking
our heads in the ground with our bums up the air.
“No, no, I can’t do
that… What will the neighbours think?”
“Oh no, I can’t do
that, I didn’t get good marks in school.”
Acknowledge who you are and what you really
want, and the walls of limitation tumble down almost automatically. Then you
choose what you experience, from a de-programmed, de-hypnotized state.
Freedom at last!
And if you don’t know
where to get started, here’s a suggestion:

Nicholas
P. Kidd and Henk J.M. Schram are the instigators of the alleged ‘Great Revolution’,
which provides the members with truthful instructions regarding the universal
principles of life.
The
Revolution is receiving increasingly widespread attention for its
straightforward explanations and instructions with regard to complex issues,
which are made understandable for people from all walks of life. In essence,
the true secrets of the ‘Law of Attraction’ and the other ‘Universal Laws’ are
explained in much clearer and practical ways than the 'enigmas wrapped in
riddles' that usually characterize the descriptions of the Law of Attraction
and its application.
More
information on the Great Revolution, on joining and on the ‘universal
principles of life’ (the true ‘Universal
Laws’) can be found at www.revolutioniz.com.
