After reading the section "The Universe of Possibility," I couldn't help but think about the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?" Like the reading, this movie discussed how our lives are subject to an infinite amount of possible outcomes that we are in control of. The movie mentioned how we "create our reality" rather than us reacting to it. It is hard to imagine but if we take the simplest decisions we make, and think how those decisions lead to other decisions, we can imagine that our reality can change one decision at a time. One quote from the movie that comes to mind is this: "I wake up in the morning and I consciously create my day the way I want it to happen. Now sometimes, because my mind is examining all the things that I need to get done, it takes me a little bit to settle down and get to the point of where I'm actually intentionally creating my day. But here's the thing: When I create my day and out of nowhere little things happen that are so unexplainable, I know that they are the process or the result of my creation. And the more I do that, the more I build a neural net in my brain that I accept that that's possible. (This) gives me the power and the incentive to do it the next day." -Dr. Joe Dispenza http://www.whatthebleep.com/create/
Change your reality and create your day instead of reacting to it.
Ken--I'm not familiar with the movie you've referenced, but your post resonated with me. I'm such a list-maker that each morning I find myself just ticking through that daily list of what "has to happen" and formulating a defensive game plan of how I'm going to get through it. I really like the notion of creating my reality rather than fighting through it. I'm going to check out Dr. Dispenza's work. Thanks for sharing!
