I dreamed that life was joy. I woke to find that life is service. I discovered that service is joy.
changeIn Here & Out There: The Scientific Structure of Magic
I've been re-reading Wayne Dyer's mid-90's masterpiece Your Sacred
Self: Making The Decision To Be Free these last few months. It's a
book I enjoy savoring over and over again, chapter by slow chapter,
and sometimes paragraph by re-considered paragraph. Much of it
pertains to the principles of quantum physics and energy therapy.
Dyer says:
"Particles appear to come into existence only when we observe them.
Only when a conscious decision is made to view a particle, does the
wave actually individualize and become a separate identity.
Our attention directed to the formless wave energy is what creates
the reality that we call particle, or solid...or the physical
world...The subatomic particles spring into existence and disappear,
depending on the observer."
This is basic energy magic, and the science behind the oft-thought-
trite idea that we are the creators of our own reality. When I first
started hearing this phrase back in the early 80's in the human
potential movement, like many others I thought "oh please! give me
some hard facts!". But the sages and gurus and teachers who have
been telling us this since forever, had quantum physics beat by
centuries. Our "hard fact" sciences have only just caught up. The
basics are as Dyer points out:
1. While our bodies appear to be solid, we are in fact, masses of
energetic particles stuck together in one place. And even at that,
we are not solid, this energy ebbs and flows.
2. The mass we think of as our physical body coheses together by
virtue of the fact that our consciousness (another energetic mass)
has decided upon this physical form as a focal point of existence.
3. The "reality" that is manifested around us is subject to change,
based on the simple concept of A.I.R. Giving Attention to that which
we wish to change, making a definitively stated Intention to effect
change, plus copious Repetition of our attention and repetitive
reaffirmation of that intention/s.
4. Change what you place your attention on, change the intentions
you approach life with and reinforce this repetitively, and change
will happen in your life.
A simple experiment will prove this point to you. Recall the first
time a new pet or person from a place you've never been, came into
your life. You may have gotten for instance, a Siamese cat, and
decided they were the best breed in the world. Then all of a sudden,
you find that you're seeing and hearing about Siamese cats
everywhere. Not dogs, ferrets or hamsters, but cats. Not Burmese,
Persian or Maine Coon cats either - but Siamese.
Ditto the person from a place you've never been to that you take an
active interest in. Once you start hanging out with your new buddy
from Des Moines, suddenly everything's coming up Iowa all over the
place. Newspaper mentions of Iowa - Des Moines even, seem to be on
the increase. You hear about Iowa on the radio and tv when you could
swear you never did before. It's because your Attention is there,
your inquisitive mind wants to find out more, setting your Intention
to subconsciously go looking for mentions of the new interest. You
do this Repetitively, many times a day and not suprisingly, the
object of your focus appears to become more frequent in your life.
You've just done a simple act of Manifestation in the physical. And
this formula works time and again, equally well for changes in your
self, your environment and the world around you.
Dyer goes on to quote Gary Zukav in The Dancing Wu Li Masters:
"What is out there apparently depends, in a rigorous mathematical
sense, as well as a philosophical one, on what we decide in here..."
and comments himself:
"You can decide what is in here by facing a new direction. Know that
what you are observing and placing your attention upon will affect
what goes on outside. You will co-create a world of bliss and
spiritual consciousness if that is where you choose to place your
attention. This is science talking now, letting you know that the
mechanics of the universe and your sacred quest are the same
process."
Keeping your attention on desired change is the hardest part of
making the magic work. Here's some help:
* Mnemonic aids such as daily affirmations, chanting and a regular
practice of meditation help to embed your new intentions to yourself
firmly in future memory...and thus into your everyday waking reality.
* Regular practice any energy therapy method will
help you remove all the negative beliefs that you "can't"
or "shouldn't" create a different reality for yourself. Once those
are gone, daily practice focused using your Intentions as treatment
affirmations will help you embed your new reality even more solidly
into your everyday experience.
So what are you waiting for? Kwitcherbitchin and get busy! This is
the formula to change misery to happiness and get what you've always
wanted. Shift, turn and change into what you've always wanted to be.
This is both easy and extremely difficult, as life provides more
than we want of diversions. But it can be done. It's how I crafted
my broken spine into a supple willow, to its former "clinking,
clanking, collection of collagenous junk" to quote the Wizard of Oz.
I walk now becuase of this magic, and the determination never fight
for my limitations, but instead celebrate and encourage infinite
possibilities. As Richard Bach said in his book Illusions: "If you
fight for your limitations, you will achieve them." Focus instead on
infinite possibilities - and choose one of those to be your specific
focus for today.
You can literally do anything you set your mind to! It's easy, it
just requires A.I.R. - Attention, Intention and Repetition. Plus
liberal dollops of love, wonder, patience and perseverance...
What focus will you choose?
