Belief is such that whatever you believe in will work -
will work!
whether you believe in an old man with a beard - (not my friend Rasheed - he is too young:-))
a thing called a higher power or the can opener in your kitchen - your unwavering faith and belief in what it is that you have set your mind on to believe - will work - unless or until your thinking changes and then your faith and belief must change with that thinking shift.
This is the way things work -
Because we are all made of the same stuff - is fine (if one either accepts or even begins to understand this) - but there is no telling how anyone gets to what it is that they believe in and just as some people need and focus on the belief in a candle light - there are others whose perspective and understanding are less encompassing and others whose perspective and undertanding are more encompassing -
If I tell you that the spirit or God that everyone refers to is pure energy (nad that this pure energy is shaped by thoughts which are pure energy as well) - and it seems to be different than what you are feeling comfortable with as far as your current level of understanding - there will only be some misunderstanding - or conflict or even rejection about that which I have said to you -whether what I have said is true for someone else or not!
It is true - that whatever you focus on will manifest in your life but - and I know that this is a very important point in the equation - based on what your perception of a particular thing or idea is - that same idea will vary for each different individual focusing on it - and therefore focusing on Spirit or God being energy will mainifest in different things or as different experiences for different people -
If we, for a moment grasp the fact that thoughts are things (as has been written in so many different places) then it stands to reason that anyone can have a different thought at any given moment about the same thing or experience or idea or dream -
Some of this I have dealt with expressing through my drawing Fluctuations on:
my RYZE page
and then the animation that was created from various mutations of that drawing Fluctuations - Fluctuating Abstract ionism that is presented on my web site home page:
www.575488trillion.com
don't worry - neither one of them will hurt you - Fluctuations is simply a drawing and the animation is that same drawing in motion - alive and representing my take on the world and the way both I and perhaps some other people experience things -
If you think that this does not make any sense when you first see it because of your belief that it won't - it will not make sense to you -but if you begin to look at with the idea in your mind that there may be something to what I am saying - then you will be able to begin to see what it is that I am saying and sooner than later there will be some magic things happening - if you keep in mind that at any point in time you may be feeling good or bad or so so about anything (it does not matter what the main topic or subject is) and eventually your perception will change sometimes gradually - sometimes instantly but things will always change- and one thing to remember that might help is that if you or anyone is at a point in time in their life and they seem to be stuck - a little bit of motion - movement - looking at things from a different angle may allow them (sometimes for some people) to catch a glimpse of what they have been stuck at or looking at from a singular (not the phone company - that is cingular) perspective from a slightly different angle and then things begin to free up (sometimes for some individuals) -
Anyone thinks - speaks and writes only from the perspective and position that they are in now - based on their current understanding of whatever it is that they are writing about and for each author this changes over time and they begin and continue to relate their writings to things that they are faced with as challenges or that they feel the need to explain as things become clearer for them and perhaps sometimes even less clear -
It is also some people's reality that the more that they think that you know the more they see how little they really do know -
Therefore - from my perspective - it has definitely been helpful to read various authors and teachers along the way in my own development from where I began my inquisitiveness and yet at any particular point in time both I and anyone else may find themselves branching off on their own inner road of understanding even very often surpassing any teacher out there and even sometimes acquiring their own students or simply becoming and perhaps remaining their very own student during the continuous introspection that one may develop along the way -
Looking back can help as well - since if one has made a large amout of progress or has taken that quantum leap from a certain starting point and then for whatever reason one finds themselves in an environment or falling back or floundering as to which direction to go in - looking back from whence one came in an attempt to re-establish the connection between the starting point and the quantum leap that was made from that starting point is - for some people, a perfectly valid way of doing things- just as anything that works for any one individual is a valid way - for that individual.
To use an example of this that I use to remind myself of the fact that we are all individuals and can all accomplish the same thing in effect each in their very own unique way - I take you to the ocean (or for those who have never had the pleasure of the ocean I will take you instead to a lake in the early spring time) -
There we may find any number of different people - differing in shapes and sizes and body skin tones but all attempting to enter the water for the expected pleasure of the experience - of being immersed in it - even here the expected experience is different for each person -
Looking closely at the different approaches of entering that water - we will find as many dfferent approaches to this task of submerging oneself - as their are individuals starting out on the adventure of either the ocean or the lake shore line -
The same thing goes for each individaul's way of getting in touch with that power within - but mind - you some people may never get beyond dipping their toes into that ocean and that is fine for their personalities and level of desire to enter that water - and others are in there in a flash - and still others may also drown themselves and have their entire lives snubbed out in quick moment by losing themselves totally in something that they do not know how to deal with - or to emerge from -----
So - please remember that I have written this from my own unique and individual perspective and this merely represents my own individual understanding of things at this point in time -
I, like everyone else in the world, am free to move in any direction that I so choose to from this point in time and from this point of understanding where I seem to be (or am as far as my understanding is concerned) now -
thank you!
Walter :-)
