Well... this is one of the biggest mysteries I've ever came across. I believe most of you here would agree with me on that a matter is just an illusion and with a thought powerful enough, matter can be influenced.
But what defines "powerful enough", what do we have to overcome? What creates the illusion of matter? What sustains it? Is it the "averaged" collective belief of everyone? Or is there any non-physical entity that sustains it? Any other explantation?
I too wanted to know this mystery of matter. If matter is an illusion [I think it is] thought can not influence it, because how do you influence an illusion. Tangible thought works with reality. Matter as an illusion is not there at all. " With a thought powerful enough, matter can be influenced". A thought powerful enough will make it so real as to influence it?
I came up with the following a few years ago. I just post it on my web site about a week ago Galaxy, I was very satisfied with the outcome of the revelation, hope it clicks true to you as it did with me:
For an explanation of my metaphysics, we need a scenario and for this we are going to need for you to picture a fairly large fish tank. Picture this fish tank full of water.
The tank will be populated thanks to the aid of a laser beam projecting 3-D images of fish and environmental props that go along with in a real fish tank. Now, as far as we are concerned a viewer will witness a hologram that looks very real to him, bun never the less an illusion with real fish and props. But we know better for we know the truth.
Suppose somebody sticks their hand in the tank and try to grab a fish or a prop, you think they're going to succeed? Of course not because is not there at all! It's just an illusion, a hologram that looks very real but is never there.
This is what I want you to grasp, read carefully...the water never makes contact with the fish nor the props and vise versa. The water symbolize Infinite Spirit or God, and the populated 3-D imagery symbolize the physical universe, ethereal and finite matter along with it's planets and stars .
God is infinite and occupies all space within His space, but never ever shares it with anything that is remotely "something" and God. Nothingness can't exist in some thingness.
This is how Matter and Spirit could "seem" to coexist as described above. The question arises than as to why matter as an illusion exists. I t does not...If matter could speak it would say something like this:
God, if I could exist as something I would have to exist as "nothing" and I would seem to occupy your infinite space and therefore I would have to exist as a sup positional reality and be in anyway opposed to you, I would be a lie... nevertheless very unreal that seems very real to myself but not to you...but always a lie.
You mean to tell me that I exist as a hologram in the vastness of the universe? No! God in order to be God it has to be God to something. Now grasp this: Water is oxygen and hydrogen. This is what causes "wetness" which is an effect of the oxygen and hydrogen. Picture this water filing all space without end this is spirit or Mind. Wetness is the witness that testifies that oxygen and hydrogen exist with no end. Therefore what oxygen and hydrogen is the wetness does likewise. That is Cause and effect.
The effect of Mind is the Christ Mind or the God of Mind reflected by his man or Christ me or you. This is real universe and [not the universe that we see with our faculties]. Gods effect exist as infinite as the cause. Let's take God for example and describe Him a little bit. Does god have eyes? yes he does, does he have lungs yes he does arms, hands yes but they are infinite and perfect with no shape at all. His witness does too! Or It's effect.
Let's turn off the switch to the hologram image in the fish tank for a minute and and contemplate what's left. Infinite Variety but always ONE. Now suppose we take an eye dropper and squeeze a droplet of water unto the vastness of this sea and call it you. You just have become one with God and so did I and Joe, Mary. Also a tree, a potato, a world this is call infinite variety. We are always going to have a seemingly limited identity because nothingness exist like a seeming less reality. Matter can be influenced understanding this.
We have the mind of Christ but the sup positional reality of man interprets Infinite Mind into a limited and evil human mind, unable to distinguish truth. God is Infinite Variety but always one. I mean the space does not permit to really get into it, but I will post it as one of my lessons. On my web site soon.
Sorry for the long post
