I know that if you feel you need something, you recieve it. Also if you feel you want something, you also receive it.
It's also true that if you cry, you are consoled in some way. Also, you can KNOW something to be true.
One time I made an assumption that there was a tsunami the size of a planet approaching, and I was overwhelmed with intense fear, it really felt like the tsunami was there.
Feelings are important. If you feel good you get good experiences.
I have a dream, a real world dream of becoming a space pilot, and fighter pilot. I've read wished fulfilled by Wayne Dyer. He has a chapter on the importance of feeling, The idea is called, "assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled".
He says that we can access this feeling in every cell of our bodies.
This has me a bit confused because I don't really know how it will feel. I have an idea, that I will be overjoyed, enthusiastic. But I've climbed into an airliner, and I know those feelings are very profound, I don't think I can feel right now in my body, what I felt climbing into that airliner. Second if we could actually assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled. We wouldn't need the wish fulfilled. If I could feel in totality, to be at the ISS in my mind, I wouldn't need to go there.
I read something from the book that said, "feeling the joy in your smile". I suppose this is the main idea. Feeling the joy which is principally felt in the head.
So an analogy would be looking at the sky, shooting out your fist, screaming oh ya!!!! and really feeling that joy in your body of watching a fly by of a jet fighter.
So maybe I can't "feel" myself on the fighter jet, maybe I can "know" myself on it..
I watched "The Secret" movie. It focused on two elements, thought and feeling. What I got was that thoughts are important, but feelings are really the dominant factor. So than I felt afraid, because I have ups and downs in my life. I just can't feel good ALL the time. So what does this mean for my dreams. If I feel bad, can I still affirm, I AM a fighter pilot. I AM a space pilot, and still have my dream come true?
First, to analyse all this you need to look at much bigger picture than just feelings manifesting into your life. It's not that simple.
1. Why have we entered this limiting reality?
- To learn through challenges in order to gain knowledge, realization of creative powers, understanding oneness, understanding the forces of the universe, understand what causes progress and what causes destruction and regression.
- Yes, we have ups and downs here, but we learn a lot more from downs than from ups. We have to come to terms with this fact in order to handle our downs better and realize what is the actual lesson from each challenge. That way this challenge will not reoccur.
- This live span here as physical characters is just temporary. The only purpose is learning. We set up each life before we enter according to our needs. We don't realize it while we are at character, but if we understand this concept, all fears that we can not achieve everything we want in this live will disappear. Our true state is not in a physical character, but in our true state there is no limit of our achievements.
We exist in multiple dimensions at all time, and while your thoughts of being a pilot seem just thoughts here, they are creating a reality at that same time and your spirit there is in fact a pilot. So, in a sense you ARE what you think and what you feel, although you can not perceive it here. If at that time , you suddenly refocus in that reality, you will find yourself in an airplane in the air. And it is REAL. It is a matter of where your awareness is focused. These outside of our physical perception events activate our feelings because they are real. If we believe they are real, then manifestation into this reality is very possible. It maybe not in the same exact way, but along these lines, something of this sort may manifest. However, fears that it may not manifest create the biggest barriers. These beliefs are natural to our physical characters, because we see everyday limitations and we are programmed to think with limitations. I'm afraid that we can not reprogram this, but the best we can do is to be ok with the possibility of not manifesting and just learn as much as we can from this life. Once you become ok with that, then you automatically release that fear barrier. I have found from experience that once I stop caring about things if they will work out the way I want, they suddenly appear in my life.
So, stop forcing thoughts and stop being afraid of your "bad" feelings. How to do this? Don't take life here too seriously to a point where you think that this is everything and it will be a failure if you dont achieve certain things during this lifetime. You have endless life times to experience various things. Just relax and focus on what are your lessons here. Learn them well and do not be afraid.
Do not stop dreaming though. Always dream big, but with no fears that they may not manifest here. They do become a reality just outside of your spectrum every time you think and feel.
Wow Lightbeam! :-o
You have been quiet for a while now, but that post was truly a "gem"! I am truly impressed! 8-)
I agree, this is a concise masterpiece!
Beautifully expressed LightBeam!
Lumaza and EV, you make me smile :-)
Recently I was meditating about this same subject, how we look for an external element to have an internal fulfillment, a sense of realization.
There is something that I call the 'Double Torment', which is something that I train myself to avoid. For example, when someone punches you, you will feel both the physical pain and an anger that will make you want to hit the person back. Although hitting back will not ease your physical pain, it could even hurt you more, cause you could break a finger in the process, it is a natural response to an aggression. The problem is that this type of response will not make you feel peaceful afterwards, it is actually generating a lot internal trouble, as if receiving a single blow wasn't enough, now you want to engage in a fight to see who can be more violent.
Of course it is not easy not to react, but as LightBeam said, we're talking about gaining knowledge and understanding in life, and not simply acting out of instinct. We cannot always control our external circumstances, but our internal state is ours, and it is up to us how things will affect us.
Like you said, if you can feel the happiness of flying, to be really flying would only change your external condition, because inside you're already fulfilled. So, we have to work with what's within our reach.
