You Can Change Reality.

You Can Change Reality.

The following is an exerpt from The Mind Instruction Manual, soon to be published as another blog.

“… you shall say to this mountain, move, and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible unto you” Matthew 17:20

The purpose of this Mind Instruction Manual is to show you how you can change the reality that you find yourself in. You can change it with positive, purpose-filled thinking and action. Part of the change will be in you, in your perception of reality, and part of the change will be in realty itself. This is something that you are already doing! In point of fact, you cannot not change reality. Every choice you make, everything you do, is already changing reality. Now let’s do it on purpose, and get the reality that we really want, rather than the reality that “just happens”.

First we will consider the questions “What is reality?” and “How do we relate to Reality?” Further we will consider how it is that we can grasp such a concept in the first place. Reality is something that is infinite, eternal and ever changing. Finally we will consider how we can change it, if we should and in which direction. You are the Captain of your own ship Reality. You have the tools, God has given you all the tools necessary, to guide your Reality ship where you Will.

You are made in “the image of God” and “a little lower than the angels”, as it says in the scriptures. You are well equipped to steer your ship. You have a computer, your brain, that has more than a hundred billion nerve cells, each hooked up to about fifty thousand other nerve cells. The number of circuits that this produces is infinite. This number is greater than all the atoms in the known universe. You have a super-power engine. Yes, you can steer your ship and chart your course to the reality that you choose.

First we will look at how our computer interacts with reality. This computer, our brain, has been running on, processing, data input from our interaction with the environment about us: our experiences since birth. This enormous amount of information is the reality of your life. It is your bubble of reality. It contains all the information and resources necessary to accomplish anything; “and nothing shall be impossible unto you”.

Of course it is not reality itself. Reality itself is something out there that is only experienced by you through your senses. Furthermore, the meaning of that experience is dependent on the previous experiences you have had in similar situations and the way you interpreted them. These experiences could have been accompanied by pleasure or pain, stress or stress reduction, joy or sorrow, etc. When those experiences were logged into your computer they were logged together with that positive, or negative, emotion. And you got stuck with them!

All of that data, from your entire lifetime of experiences, has programmed your computer. This is your “bubble of reality.” These data have formed all your likes, dislikes, memories, beliefs, superstitions, fears, joys, expectations. They have, in fact, made you you. All this data has been input into your super computer. Good bad or indifferent data, for better or for worse, has created this Bubble of reality which is you. Much of that data was erroneous; accidents happen; friends, even parents input wrong data: “you are such a klutz!”, “you are always late!”, “my child is so shy!” These accidents and words are data that get fed straight into your computer, and into your bubble of reality.

Initially you had little control over this data collection. Things just happened to you (good, bad, and indifferent) and you experienced and attended to them. As a newborn you were completely at the mercy of others. Gradually you gained some control of this process, and took part in it by focusing on different parts of your environment, approaching some areas and avoiding others. As adults we have gained complete control of this selection process, or at least like to think we do. You now choose what to focus on, and the forming process of your bubble of reality goes on.
