Treat Every
Decision... as if it had
"Infinite" Consequences
There are two worlds:
One is in front of your eyes at
that "moment" The other is the world... that will "occur" as the result...
of your "imagined" future.
Clearly, the world will change... as the "result" of our decisions...
small as they might
be. Up to the "moment" we make the decision,
our contemplated "action" can be canceled.
And if we cancel the decision...
the world of the immediate future...
"will" be changed also… merely because we failed to make the decision.
This world of the
immediate future "awaits" our decision.
Thousands
of lives.... are temporarily or forever changed...
because of this
simple decision or lack of it.
On the
larger scale… Caesar "decides" to cross the
Rubicon, and
the entire face... of
history... changed.
Treat every
decision... as if it had infinite
consequences...
because it does.

When
we search for objective truth.. in Science and History…
we are inclined to leave "ourselves" out of
the picture and to
"forget" that our decisions... even
small ones... can create an
entirely different world... as the results of our
will.
We
have a double role...
as the "self-observing", and the "self-observed".
One part of us is studying our own personality... the
other part is being
studied by the "action". Although
the soul itself... appears as one of
the components... within the world, it
also holds true... that "the world is in the soul".
This is a critical paradox "Parallel Universes", all this reflects the
"double ness"
of a "Self"... that must live by standards of
"self-judgment".
While we can believe
in our own extinction.... we are wholly
unable
to "imagine" it… "Imagination" and "Dreams" are always within us. Otherwise, we would not be able
to take a step into the future.
Dream in
sleep.... is simply "imagination"
without the competing presence of the
everyday world.
|
The
content of dreams has less significance... but the structure
of the dream "is" significant, since it demonstrates the possibility...
of a well - developed world... which seems to exist for us…
even
while we are partly "creating" it.
"Dreams and
Imagination... shape "action".
We employ them...
to "deliberate" and to
"decide" just how we will
"alter" the
actual world. What was one moment, only
fancy... "becomes",
through our "freedom of decision" a tiny bit of
history.
In
this way.... we are both "creature" and
"creator". As
creatures... we are receptive and passive
to continuous actions
and events. As creators... we have freedom...
within bounds… that
are real.
"We can....
literally change Nature".
God, Himself...
has not "pre-thought"
your conception.
|
An individual's
"mind".... can change nature and
it does. It
is the entire world of
events "entertained" in "thought", that is
"another world". How much space do you need for a soul? Or a thought? How much does a "dream" weigh?
The space-time order
of a dream is endless… forward and
backward.
It never
joins up or interferes with factual
space-time. This gives our imagination...
its requisite freedom and scope.
Human
life can be described as the continuous
free
translation...
of "dream" into "fact", by
way of "bodily action".
The "Self" gives "birth"... it has "created"
something in the world...
of "fact". Insight into this possibility
of concrete freedom opens
a direct avenue into the possibility of the survival of the
"human self", after "death".
In the devising
of free deeds,
there is a literal sense... in which
the "Self" is in the "presence"
of at least one "other" space world
at all times.
The "event" of "death" involving the body
of the "Self",
belonging to
some "one" nature system.... does not necessarily
involve the death of
"Self".
The
"Self" has already "envisioned" other worlds...
independent
of the "given" world. Death
may be relative but not absolute...
and the transition in death... a
mental transition devoid of
distance.
There
is the possibility
of a "self - executing" justice in the
world process... what we refer to as the "will" of God...
appears
to each "soul" as the necessary outcome
of it's own "willing".
No soul shall perish.... but by it's
own consent.
All "ESP"
research has pointed ultimately.... to
examining the
question of the "survival" of the "personality" after death. Telepathy,
remote viewing, the "transference" of thought, clairvoyance,
foretelling
the future, psycho-kinesis, etc.
It's the
"immortals" who are interested in telepathy, not the
superfluous.
A slumbering "thought"... is capable of years and curdles a
"long life" into one hour.
By their nature... dreams constantly
"challenge"
the "reality" of our own
limited concept of time and
space.
So long as the dream lasts", it
is a "reality" for the
dreamer.
Does the mind have
fingerprints?
|
Whatever "action" is performed by a great individual...
common
people will follow.... in their
foot-steps... and whatever standards...
that individuals set... by their exemplary
act... all the world...
pursues.
Anger
"He who angers you... conquers you!"
Take the Pathway... to the
Sun!
|
It is
by choice... that we let "others"
control our emotions...
and when we make that choice we have abdicated...
our
personal "power" of choice.
Deciding to feel... how we
truly want to feel... rather than
giving someone else control... is freeing
and exhilarating.
When we
let someone anger us we have decided
to
make "them" the object of our attention
and any intention
to do... what needs
to be done... is gone.
Anger consumes us.... like a flame. Our mind burns
and
becomes preoccupied. And the
growth and creativity.... we
are here for... come to a flying
halt!
Our
personal power to "decide" and "take action"
are lost...
when we give in to anger and
the object of our anger...
decides who
we are!
