How life operates

Belief -> Feeling -> Decision -> Result -> Belief -> Feeling -> Decision -> Result

Like a hamster wheel

The question is, what belief is the right belief?

How do we know what is right and wrong?

Right = Good
Wrong = Bad

Well based on the feelings it gave us when we experienced them or stimulated the experience in our minds we knew what is good for us and what is bad, because we had set a goal

The question is why we set goals?

Is that the reason why we live? Surely there most be something ells, it still feels like something ells is missing

What do you think?

Nothing is missing. When you believe it's missing, it IS missing.

Change the belief and your life changes.

Your life changes as fast as you're able to change a belief.

Rightness is totally individual, too.

That's why your inner voice is your only best guide. You are unique, so what is right for you, may not be right for somebody else. But when you do things that feel right to YOU, you are real to yourself and therefore happy.

From the non-physical perspective there's no right or wrong, it's just diversity that stimulates us - to do another thing, explore further, learn new things, learn some capoeira, some Spanish, some compassion, improve writing skills and understand the way telepathy works ... you know. ;) Life is fun.

Yes it's true, but it feels like you are missing out something important when you do that, perhaps that's also a belief that can change?

The question I got to ask is what is truth then?

I know what Abraham would say, they would say truth is whatever you think it is, but that’s not all of it

The truth can be seen from as many different angles as there are beings out there, so to me it is what YOU make it - you put the ingredients of your life into your life.

When you realize you're THE chef behind all the cooking, you've got it.

Well where does compassion fall into all of this?

Compassion for others, helping out, making the world a better place you know...

It all sounds like a big ego power trip

From the physical perspective, most of you believe that your beliefs are the right ones, and if you disagree with someone then they must be wrong. But from the Nonphysical standpoint, it is not seen as right and wrong. It is seen as the powerful diversity that stimulates thought, and from the Nonphysical perspective, you enjoy that diversity.

From that perspective to me it sounds like chaos theory
I mean what a messy universe damn
And “the fun experience” sounds like an excuse for the messiness
To control the vehicle to wherever you want to go
But that makes life pointless! Bleeh :confused:

Key! :wave: Yes it is, messy and chaotic. That's what it is pointless to think about it on and on :study: (I've been there...)

The Truth and the Power--> BEING Here and Now --> AWARENESS OF EXISTANCE.

Or that's what I've found... :loveflag:

Setting goals has an amazing impact on attracting success and manifesting prosperity. Many believe that just thinking of a goal is all that is needed for manifesting success, but there's more to it. The original "thought" about a goals gets the Universal Wheels of Power moving but to see it manifest quickly requires we write them down. Writing our goals down gives them "life" and makes them real. Now that we our goals have life we must "TAKE ACTION" to experience success. This one decision to take action is responsible ALL success and goal achievements. Set your goals, hold your vision and write them down. When you do this your action will be focused and powerful and will manifest any dream you decide (But how big or how small the dream is, is up to you!)

See, now I don't think this is entirely true. I have thought I wanted something, and did all the manifesting things I have done for things that have manifested. I made the lists, I focused, I did all that... but it didn't happen... but what DID happen is something even better. And it came to me because I allowed it and didn't stay stuck on the original thing I asked for. I trust. I allow. I let go.

I believe that we can achieve whatever we desire. We decide what is for our greater good, this I feel is the misconception of many people. Many believe that the heights of success and achievement that have been accomplished by others is somehow out of their reach. "If you Think you can or you Think you can't You're Right!" Dream big and set high goals. Big dreams are what have fueled our world and our society, it's the ability to believe in what others deem impossible to be possible and go for it filled with FAITH!

Is that the reason why we live? Surely there most be something else, it still feels like something else is missing.

What do you think?

Key, I think you grew up being guided externally and it is all you know. The externals sculptured your structure of understanding to be based on selflessness, martyrdom, and saving/fixing a broken world.

So this idea of choosing your own path, creating what you want, following your inner guidance, and being selfish - it feels unreal to you. You don't know anything about it, you haven't experienced it first hand, you haven't developed a trusting relationship with it. You don't know how to be yourself!

Life is experience. We live to be impressed by the moment - in our senses and our feelings. Stirring in the cosmic soup of energy, contrast and awareness.

If you are to ask me, what is missing in your experience, I would think it is FEELING GOOD, Confident in your current state of being, and KNOWING that you are complete. It is a feeling, and it's not something you can logically derive. You have to experience it - then, you will know it.

Key, what we are saying here can be simplified like this:

How life operates

Belief - Feeling - Decision to put or not to put the shades on - Result

Like getting doggy with it. lol ;)

Putting the shades on is like realizing we actually have shades in our pocket, which we can use any time. And those shades we are talking about are your power to choose how you're going to see something.

What you choose to see (or what you choose to pay your attention to) is what you choose to attract into your life.

We are not saying what you're saying is not true. It is, but only for you. If you're happy with your reality, continue with it, just know you can always choose your reality and the way things work for you. That's why there is no one right way of doing anything. You just get what you believe/expect you will get.

*Can I get a doctorate diploma in getting doggy wit it now?! :joylick:
