Time to change my mind

[AlteredConscious]

Hello Members,

Before you talk to me you should know I'm kinda strange.

I believe in a universe where we are all god and with our thoughts and actions, we are all creators. This is why we are constantly, and sometimes consciously, using the law of attraction (the secret) to create our experience. I think that this truth is the 'holy grail' that has been keep hidden by secret societies. I think that the initiated few, the puppet masters, that pull the strings in society have fed us a popular culture that is poisonous to our spirit. We have been taken out of nature and sent to work in offices and factories, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.

I think that the irony of the times is that universal subconscious has amassed a tremendous amount of spiritual knowledge which is freely available to anyone who seeks it, and the TV spits out negative vibes, and the news will lower your vibration and they're going on about the latest pointless argument - all of it distractions from keeping you from discovering who you really are.

As you may be able to tell, I've been focused on the negative for too long. I need to raise some good vibrations, to see beauty in every sight and feel alive with every breath. The time is now.

I'm so glad you're giving yourself the opportunity to look at and perceive things in a more positive way. I completely relate to you in regards to the news. I avoid it. Although, there are important aspects to news, I find an overwhelming majority is very negative.

I remember years ago I was literally sucked into the media and politics, and what a devastation to the soul that was. The fear it promotes, the arguing of who was right and who was wrong. It is a very ego based way of thinking and very far from spirituality. People get caught in these concerns unfortunately and do what they can to defend their views against others. I find media has a tendency to focus on the negative, and I am bothered that even while watching programs on television I do enjoy, I'll be bombarded by bad news during a commercial as a "Breaking News" about someone somewhere in the world who has either had a horrible accident, or a tragedy has occurred.

It is not a "Version of reality", that I accept as reality. The news speaks to our most primal instict of fear. I agree, the "reality" the news projects is a distraction from our higher purpose.

It is a conscious choice to avoid the negative and live in a higher state of thinking, focusing on the positive and our abilities to ascend to higher states of wisdom and spirituality.

Yes, this is I believe in other words - we are all aspects of the Divine. We are not separate from the Divine, we only forget we are one, all part of the plan to allow us to be in awe of that which is. We are all co-creators with the universe.

This, as well as the law of attractions, is very Hermetic, spoken of thousands of years ago before it became mainstream consciousness (but there is something to be said for multitudes of people waking up these days). You may want to look into this aspect of Ancient Wisdom.

I know that The Law of Attraction and the concept of co-creating is not a new thing. I have scene it referenced by different names in several books, many that are 50 - 80 years old. Most of these older books use the recipe "pray and god will deliver". It's the same as "set your intention and allow it's reception". Often, when I read this type of book I will subsitute "god" with "source". God seems to me, to be a blurry word with a lot of potential defintions.

Hello my friend!

Greetings from across the net. I have known you for years now and consider you one of the closest people to me on the face of this planet. You are not strange. You are someone who is able to pull out of the mire and the muck that surrounds our day to day and try to alter your perceptions. Don't put yourself down for this, the lack of confidence is not becoming :-)

As for being negative of late, we all have cycles. I think the news you recently shared with me is going to influence your positivity!

Drop me an email and we'll get together for cyber coffee...

Lucid my brother, I'm glad you've joined the forum and look forward to enlightening dialog like we have shared so many times before.

Let me ask you a question, my friend. Why do you think strange is a bad thing?

You are not strange ... Don't put yourself down for this, the lack of confidence is not becoming :-)

Here are some of the definitions offered by thefreedictionary.com for Strange;
1. Not previously known; unfamiliar.
2. a. Out of the ordinary; unusual or striking. b. Differing from the normal.
3. Not of one's own or a particular locality, environment, or kind; exotic.

I stand by my introduction to the forum

Hello Members,

Before you talk to me you should know I'm kinda strange.

I let the members know that I am strange, and now I am truly free to speak and share strange thoughts and concepts without any worry of people thinking I'm strange.

I think that being comfortable in our strangeness is a display of confidence. It is the bah bah heard mentality that is truly not becoming.

Dare I even say: Show me a person, who is not strange and I'll show you someone who fears so much, the opinion of others, that the are constantly restraining themselves from creative expression.

I've always said people are strange, but it doesn't mean it's a bad thing. I think it's necessary. In everyday life, I think people put on a mask according to their daily requirements, duties, responsibilities to accomplish the tasks of their jobs and their living, at least to some extent. I think the saying "there's no place like home," not only has to do with one's ability to rest, but a lot to do with being one's self, freely, to express themselves without all the boundaries of the outside world.

I think most people show more of their expressiveness at home than in the public realm, and I think it has to do with balance. People inherently have their own unique characteristics, others may say are strange, but in reality, I'm sure everyone has these characteristics when not being "ordered" by society.

Today we have more freedoms to be ourselves, yet I still think the nature of humanity is a bit more quirky than we generally see from strangers.

Hello all!! I wanted to comment upon this whole thing of the strangeness tangent. Not to get in the middle of things or anything, more just observing...
Altered, it seems your friend lucid was perceving your opening statement as one of an excuse. This you also comment upon in your explanation. "I let the members know that I am strange, and now I am truly free to speak and share strange thoughts and concepts without any worry of people thinking I'm strange." My friend, in a forum such as this, I would hope there is no need for appologies, nor explanations. If one does not understand or judge, you can clearify, but this does not mean it is your duty to make it clear. Speak your truth. That is all.
