All we have to remember is that our bodies, and the 5 senses that we navigate this dimension with, are just the game consoles. We are not the consoles, we are the operators behind the consoles. We just get too caught up in the drama of this dimension, so we forget who and what we really are. We believe this is real, when it's really just a very intense game. This is also why there is so much stimulation; signboards, TV's everywhere, commercials everywhere.... not to mention pharmaceuticals and other drugs .... it's a very effective form of distraction, even though I'll probably get flack from those that are proponents of altering perception on a daily basis. What's the point of being here, in this dimension, if you're going to tune out? If people are going to be present, then they need to be fully present. Escaping, or tweaking perception does NOT count as being fully present in this dimension. |

How Do Thoughts Become Things?
*Thoughts become things when they are given substance with feelings in the Mind.* Thoughts are the DNA of the Universe. There is an infinite variety of thought available to the Mind. However, thinking alone, like the lines of a blueprint on paper, cannot build anything. Belief is thinking that is given meaning and direction by the Mind using the power of emotion. It is this energy and the resulting vibrational signals that activate the thought and causes physical manifestation and life experience to take place. *Many people want to know how to choose thoughts and beliefs that will create the things that they think they want.* However, the very root of this desire is based upon the belief in the illusion of separation; that there is something "out there" that can make you happy. This is a thought, empowered by the Mind with emotion, that will lead to creating more of the illusion of separation. It is inevitable. The process was created to do just that, and nothing more. *The only way to choose thoughts that will lead to true inner peace, health, prosperity, personal effectiveness and happiness is by asking the metaphysical Heart, and allowing Spirit to choose them for you.* There are many practices being taught with the intention of helping people choose thinking that will lead to a happier life. Practices which include accessing the Heart and listening for guidance from Spirit will succeed in producing the desired results. If only logic is used, for example; taking a belief and simply flipping it over to its' opposite and then attempting to implant that into the Mind - there may be physical results, but the intended benefit of creating true happiness, health, or wealth will not be achieved. There may be a temporary experience of pleasure or satisfaction, but not true happiness. *Thought that is chosen by Spirit is given substance in the Mind by Love-based Truth.* Love is a force, the "living matrix", not an emotion. Therefore it does not change or disappear. As a result, life experience created by the Mind using Love-based Truth also does not change, and cannot be lost. Although the physical manifestation may change in appearance, or even cease to exist, the essence of the Love-based Truth that created it remains. It is impossible to imagine such a life experience from the perspective of the fear-based illusion of separation from which most human consciousness now operates. But it is not impossible to have the experience, and to know for yourself that it is true. Although the process requires patience and persistence, it is not difficult to do. The benefits include experiencing who you really are and the happiness, health, beauty, true wealth and inner peace that are the qualities of your true being. *When you have had enough of the illusion of separation, and you are ready to trade the thoughts of the human ego-mind for those of the Spirit and Heart-Mind, you can rest assured that you will enjoy the life experience you have always longed for.* Thoughts become things when they are given substance by feelings in the Mind. Choose Love-based Truth form the Heart and start creating a joy filled life! _________________________________________* http://www.metaphysics-for-life.com/...me-things.html

I believe consciousness changes your perception of reality but in terms of reality itself the only changes I can think of are the changes to your biology and the causes and effects which lead from them.

Is consciousness artificial intelligence?
I couldn't find this on any science website, which is surprising, but it's interesting nonetheless. Strange Computer Code Discovered Concealed In Superstring Equations! Are we living in a computer simulation - Matrix? |

What do you define as consciousness and artificial consciousness? If consciousness wasn't artificial what would you expect to find in place of this "strange computer code"? |

The idea that we might be living in a simulated world is so fascinating because it is impossible to disprove the theory that we are living in a simulated universe. In order to see how difficult it is to disprove, consider the Brain-in-a-Vat Argument. The Brain-in-a-Vat Argument considers the situation whereby a person's brain has been removed from their body and is floating in a life-sustaining fluid. The brain is connected by wires to a computer which provides the brain with exactly the same impulses as the brain would normally receive, the computer effectively creating a "virtual reality". The person with the disembodied brain would continue to have perfectly normal conscious experiences without these being related to objects or events in the real world. It would be impossible for the person to discover the reality of their simulated world. http://www.ipod.org.uk/reality/reali...ed_reality.asp Maybe the only way we would know for certain is if someone or something left us a clue or put a signature of their name in the simulated reality. |

We have more reason to believe freewill doesn't exist than does. What you call "I" is a mechanical energetic construct. Every little wave and particle are subject to cause and effect like cogs in a machine. "I" can't control the undelying mechanics of the machine that is "I". When we are influenced or made to do something people refer this as not being freewill because something else is clearly responisble. When we do something we think has not been influenced or forced we call this freewill because we can't see what is responsible other than ourselves. Freewill is an illusion - it exists only in that sense, it is not what it appears to be. How can the first cause of an act of will have begun internally, free of any determining factors? Do we have a solid example of anything like this? No, so freewill is a postive claim, it is not a default position and it carries with it a burden of proof. |

Hi all, this is my 1st post on the forum and the nature of reality has been on the top of my list under investigation for quite a while. However, this thread has gone (almost) straight over my head. I see brilliant minds full of ideas and many 'facts' in support of the beliefs. It's all too much for me. It seems to create more confusion and chaos and indeed, division.
I believe if consciousness is creating reality, then we are creating it now, as is. It doesn't create sometimes or some parts create and others do not. If thoughts can change our dna, then all of them are doing so, all the time. It's the whole thing or nothing. Every aspect of consciousness is in play which also includes our experience of the physical self. A very good friend of mine told me the K.I.S.S. rule. Keep it simple stupid. I try and this is my 2 cents worth. regards.

I am new here myself and I have not read any of this thread, but I have heard this "our consciousness creates our reality" phrase tossed around for many years. It is in fact based in the most ancient of all the Sanskrit text schools - SAMKHYA. What is not often said is that you actually have to BE or Become Conscious to create the reality you want. ![]() Think of how many times we all say that we will make something happen, and then we get into doubt and fear, and emit many other energies which we have not yet mastered - and thus our frequencies of creating are actually creating a jumbled mess of polarities in various degrees of our original thoughts. So, surprise. It's not that we are not amazing super-computers generating our hologram in every moment. We are. But most of us are not even aware of our thoughts, which includes our subconscious programming from 100s of lives - and thus we are getting scrambled realities. It is also true, in my experience, that as long as you have surrendered you own will to any other, then that person or entity or government overrides you power to generate your hologram. They create your reality because we allow them to. We create our own reality always sounds simple - and Yippee! However, the implications of doing that in an evolved way are that we have to begin to work on our awareness - and that means meditating, being alone, studying, and continually observing our own thoughts, compulsions, and patterns of emitting frequency waveforms. Not quite so easy as it first sounds!

I also think our 'will' is coming from the whole self and this 'sense' of the whole self is the over-riding energy force, regardless of conscious thought. Although they would probably match i.e. negative sense of self = negative thoughts, positive sense of self = positive thoughts. Being oneself is not to be one or the other but to embrace both as interdependent forces. Regards

Consciousness doesn't determine our dna or reality but it does have an affect on it, I think some people like to stretch these ideas to far.

I don't even believe you genuinely believe this, as if you treat everything just as consciousness. |

Same as if you had one positive, happy and compassionate AI in a simulation and all the others were hateful and negative. I somehow doubt the positive, happy AI would lead the perfect life. Probably why most spiritual people tend to seek solitude. Also most people tend to assume that we are all part of the same unified consciousness and if we are living in a simulation, then there's no reason why there can't be more than just one. There could be literally trillions, just as there could be trillions of simulations within simulations. Last edited by chockimon; 28-04-2012 at 11:56 PM. |
