If a person finds himself facing an illness (or any
unpleasant situation), one may simply say, "Well, it's your
fault. You attracted it."
This sort of explanation is irritating to say the least,
besides being unhelpful, but it also sounds suspiciously
like the guiding hand of Fate, for one can look at the world
and say EVERYTHING that occurs in the world simply IS,
because it's meant to be that way.
There is a crucial difference, however, in a philosophy
based upon fate, and a one which postulates consciousness
always at source–point: there are no outside forces
determining your destiny, even though it often seems that
way.
Focusing
The
idea of fate is indirectly supported by the scientific
method, which has dominated the consciousness of the general
public, especially since the end of WW II. Science teaches
us that only what is observable is valid; therefore, we are
conditioned to believe that what-already-is, is unalterable
truth.
To
further complicate matters, to say "that which exists is
meant to be," is true!
But
it's only true because the decisions and actions of
conscious beings made it that way.
We
often accept the established things of this world as
universal facts of life, when they are really continual
creations. For example, I accept the fact that if I'm hungry
I can drive down to the local supermarket. Supermarket's
have been around almost my entire life so I don't question
their existence, but in my grandfather's world they did not
exist. One can simply say, "supermarkets were fated to occur
because of the increase in population density" but the fact
remains that someone had to create the idea of a
supermarket, then actually put it into the physical
universe. In fact, every supermarket in the world is being
continuously created, and without continued attention to the
idea of "supermarkets" they would all disappear.
Anything that exists in the physical universe is being
constantly created by one or more conscious beings. This
leads us to another obvious, but very important conclusion:
(1)
When the focus of consciousness is no longer present upon a
thing, it will separate into its constituent components.
A
flower wilts when it no longer has the nutrients to survive,
or when the consciousness connected with it decides to
depart. A human body disassociates when the consciousness
associated with it no longer creates the human energy field
that sustains it. The implications of this statement are
enormous, for it implies that planets, stars, galaxies, and
the universe itself was created by consciousness.
The
above statement (1) cannot be proven, of course. It’s just
an assumption based upon my complete knowing that it is
true. In fact, if consciousness is non–physical (virtual) it
cannot ever be tested or measured. Therefore, the content of
these essays must be forever out of the realm of scientific
proof. However, I’m appealing to the reader’s inner
knowledge of yourself as a spiritual being. For those of us
who have this awareness, what I’m saying makes perfect
sense.
This principle (1), applied to matter and energy, is known
as the second law of thermodynamics: The entropy of a closed
system will not decrease for any sustained period of time.
In other words, matter and energy has a tendency to
disassociate if left to itself. A city becomes a ghost town
when its inhabitants leave. A car that sits unattended in
the backyard eventually corrodes and falls apart.
In
life, it is the focusing of consciousness that begins and
sustains the creative process. Hoping and wishing, in the
absence of a clear vision, will not create the vibrational
conditions that lead to manifestation. The answer to the
question of “I don’t know what I want!” is therefore, “Find
something to focus on.” An undirected vibration will lead to
an undirected life!
The Creative Process
How is anything created?
First, a conscious being somewhere has an idea.
What's an idea? An idea is a thought about something. It's a
tiny bit of focus or attention to a subject. Lots of times
when we have ideas they don't go any further: "I want to
invent an anti-gravity machine." For me, this is a wonderful
idea but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be successful, so
I cease to give more attention to it. Therefore, my thoughts
concerning the subject of "anti-gravity machines" are
relatively small in number, vague and unfocused. I haven't
"gotten my act together" upon this subject.
The
guy who invented the compact disk, however, had an idea and
followed up on it. By that I mean, he gave it more
attention. He looked at how lots of information could be
coded into a very small space and proceeded in steps to
evolve his ideas: first comes the polishing of the glass
plate, then the coating of photoresist (a chemical that
hardens when exposed to light), then the information is
written into the photoresist, then a negative of the
information is created...etc.
Any
creative process begins with an idea, then more ideas
coagulate around it in some kind of sensible geometric
arrangement. Now you've got what I call a thought prototype,
or TP. A TP is an evolving thought form about something. It
is an actual collection of energy, for every thought has a
tiny bit of mass. I call it a prototype because it might or
might not work in the physical universe, but the energy
associated with the thought is just as real as the stuff on
your workbench, or on your painting palette. A thought form
is a buildup of energy brought about by a focusing of
consciousness in a particular area, which is then mirrored
into the physical universe. (If you don’t believe that a
thought is real, consider Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart
often composed every note of a symphony in his head before
he wrote it down on paper!)
Without the focusing or attention of consciousness, nothing
can ever be brought into physical existence, because every
single thing in the universe was preceded by thought. As my
father used to say to us kids, "That broken window just
didn't happen."
As
the TP gets more and more sophisticated, a completed Thought
Form is created which acts as a design template for the
object in the physical universe. As long as the completed
thought template exists and is accessible, one may continue
to construct and maintain the physical object with which it
is associated.
Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest geniuses of the last
century, designed and debugged all of his machines in his
head. Only when he could get the thing functioning mentally
did he put it together physically. As mentioned previously,
Mozart composed symphonies in his head, and was able to
transfer them to paper without a mistake. So you see, a
completed Thought Form is a very powerful thing indeed.
These mental templates are crucial, for even if a physical
blueprint exists for an object, it cannot be built without
the corresponding thought template. Example: most of my
computer programs. Even though I have a written record of
each one, after a time I cannot figure out how they work. I
have several with minor bugs, including a halfway decent
Mandelbrot/Julia Set generator, but I have lost the thought
templates connected to them, so the programs are worthless,
for I cannot debug them. This is how technology gets lost.
Another example:
 A
Sumerian tablet.
One
may have a physical blueprint, but without the corresponding
thought template to give it meaning, the blueprint may be
useless.
Every step of the creative process is first and foremost an
evolvement of thought; and everything we see in the physical
universe has a unique template of thought connected to it.
That is how medical intuitives can diagnose without being in
physical proximity to the patient.
Back To Fate
What we understand as "fate" is just our attention to
something for a long enough time. Often we go through life
oblivious to the focus we are giving to a subject, or we
simply get into a habit of thinking or believing a certain
way.
For
example, every time Joe changes jobs he gets a domineering
and micro–managing boss. Joe would prefer a job where he has
freedom to breathe, but he is so focused on NOT GETTING
ANOTHER CRUMMY BOSS that he continuously attracts one.
We've already gone over the reasons for this so we won't
repeat it here, but if you ask Joe how he keeps getting the
same sort of boss he might tell you it's fate. And he'd be
right –- Joe is fated to attract the same situations
(self-similar situations, fractally speaking) as long as he
continues to focus in the same way.
But
the point is, the Law of Consciousness and the Law of Free
Will guarantee that Joe has, in every moment, the choice to
change his focus of attention! And when he does so, magic
happens. Or co–incidence. A happy accident maybe.
It
doesn't matter what you label it, Joe's life will change
when he changes his focus. So fate is just continued focus
on something until it is brought into your life experience.
A philosophy based on fate and one based on free will are
both operating from the Law of Free Will, it is just that a
person who believes in fate never makes a decision to change
his focus!
In
order to experience this, you have to test it out for
yourself. Universal laws, as I’ve said over and over,
interface directly with every conscious being on an
individual basis. Therefore, proof must be completely
personal and subjective. What works for you may not work for
another.
