Basic Mechanics of Thinking and Feeling
Thoughts grow with you. Over time, as you think more and get better at thinking, the level of your thoughts increases.
We often take a very radical approach when it comes to thoughts and feelings. Either you get the Buddhist approach (thoughts are in the way of observing reality as it is), or we take the biological or evolutionary route (anxiety comes from an ancient part of the brain). Both are extremely rigid ways of thinking.
Do you know where most anxiety comes from? From being scared — and not admitting it. You try to make up a reason, or you try to observe it non-judgmentally, while in reality you’re just scared. Which is fine. It happens. It would be strange if you were fearless, meaning you would have nothing to lose. If you really were fearless, that would mean you truly didn’t care about anything — and that would be a real problem.
We do the same with pain. We create bizarre situations just to avoid feeling it. We drink, gamble, take pain medication — while in reality, feeling pain is like popping a pimple: when you feel it locally, at that exact spot in your body, it actually brings relief. Do you have pain in your body? Go there and feel it in that precise place. Try to feel it with your knee, for instance.
People Who Wear Sunglasses in Public
Please stop. You think you look cooler than you actually do. It’s implied: nobody can see your eyes. It’s the equivalent of someone eating or using their phone on the train.
Imagine life before Isaac Newton. Did gravity exist before that? Yes and no. It's likely that apples still fell from trees, but nobody looked at it as "gravity."
So in that sense, Isaac Newton had an unbelievable influence on how people see the world today.
Jesus Christ did too. Whether you agree with it or not, billions of people look at the same world differently because of the things he did.
I know a few of those things too. I can tell you things that will make you never look at the world the same way again—things that are more or less hidden in plain sight. Things that are already there, but you don’t look at them like this.
Consciousness, for instance, is already solved. You just have to know where to look.
You can perceive reality entirely as tension.
How We Create Our Own Reality
Let’s say we all start smoking—everyone in the world.
Now, the amount of lung cancer would go up dramatically. So in that sense, there are some diseases, some unstable energy states, that we create ourselves.
We literally bring them into existence, as if we would in a lab.
How you look at something matters.
It behaves differently—not only at the quantum level, but also when you look at a person. If you look at someone as if they are a psychiatric patient, everything is seen in that light. And then you start to behave accordingly.
