Imagine living two-hundred years ago before we discovered the telegraph, telephone, radio, television, or the internet. We didn’t know much about what radio waves were, and didn’t even know that we could communicate over wires. The average person certainly had no idea what was coming, and where technology would end up. All this must have seemed like and miracle or magic to most people at the time.
I was thinking about the above today and it started me thinking about what else might be possible. Think that first paragraph for a moment if you haven’t.
I have been on a spiritual journey for the last several years, and have become interested in the law of attraction, psychic phenomenon, mediums, yogis, and all sorts of other “supernatural” claims in the world today, and I am going to start with what might be possible from there. For the foreseeable future, any blog posts here, are going to be results of various components of things I am going to experiment with.
Even though I have been on this spiritual journey, I really have no idea what is true, or if there is any real intelligent source behind anything. I think there is, but I just don’t know. If psychics are real, you couldn’t get it by me, because I have never darkened the door or heard a story that convinced me beyond a reasonable doubt. I did have one personal experience I can’t explain, but even that could have explanation in the physical.
I have decided to start an experiment, and to some extent, I have already been working on an experiment. Several years ago I started reading a book by Eckart Tolle titled “A New Earth”. I was inspired to start a mindfulness practice that brought with it some pretty significant benefits to my life. I am digressing, but I am planning on starting / continuing the following experiments.
- Law of Attraction – I have a list of items that I have been working towards, but am completely uninvested in the outcome of. They are all things that I would love to have in my life, but I am quite happy whether I achieve / acquire them or not, which I think is where most people go wrong with the law of attraction. They are to invested in the outcomes, and there “wants” create lack in their lives. Since I have been working on these, some things I can’t explain have happened. I think most of them are the result of positive attitude, and an increase in confidence that this spiritual journey has brought on. Really good stuff, and in some ways fit the whole vibratory story in the law of attraction, but far from definitive proof or likelihood. This first experiment is going to be to document this continued process in subsequent blog posts.
- Egoic Mind Identity Journaling – This is actually a more practical exercise, but has it roots in spiritual tradition. This is where you basically question all your thoughts and actions, and are brutally honest with yourself about the results. I know this works, I have done some of this both on paper and through thinking. The point of this is to see how much is practical and how much might really be spiritual. I have no idea how I will tell that other than to just pay attention to evidence, and come up with something.
- Psychic / Medium / Mentalist Analysis – I am going to start this one by really just clearing my mind and focusing in on people and the moment without thinking, just trying to notice things I never noticed before. Earlier I said I wasn’t really convinced if any of this is true, and that is a true statement, but the one similar thing I am nearly convinced of is that consciousness survives physical death. I can’t put my finger on it just yet, but there is something real there. In addition there are just too many coincidences among near death experiencers that we just don’t have the science to explain. In addition there are a number of reputable doctors, and academics who have studied NDEs.
That’s it for the first post, stay tuned.
