Possibilities and Realities

I have been watching the What the Bleep movie again. Kudos to the makers and participants of the movie, and to the millions who have watched it and caused a demand for more of the same. I have the dvd version and often go back and watch the interviews with my pen and paper handy to take notes. Watched a bit this morning from the last dvd. Here are my thoughts. I have had such a strong sense of reality regarding my potential. My frustration has been that my physical environment has not reflected this. In fact it often reflects the opposite. This is the bain of my life. I spend my life trying to figure out why this difference of reality exists. In the interviews they talk about a sense of reality being the basis of reality. Well I have no doubt at all that my potential feels fair more real to me than what I am experiencing at a physical level. Lets look at a few more ideas from the movie. There is a sea of possibilities. These collapse into a "reality" once we observe it, therefore you could say that like feels like it was "created" by us. Here in lies a dilemma which I can see as a reason why my potential doesn't manifest. In a see of possibilities, all things exist. If I observe there to be different levels of reality, and I allow these different levels to co exist, then I end up compartmentalizing my experiences. I decide that this possibility can exist in this realm but not that realm. I decide that thiss possibility is more real than this one, so this one can manifest here, there other one is left outside the experiencing circle. It is no less real, but it doesn't manifest. It may be more real, but if the rules I apply to it, result in it not being allowed to manifest in my physical perspective, then I will not experience it at a physical level. Lets say that I have decided that my soul exists on a different realm to my physical body. Lets say that I deem that realm to be more real than my physical environment. If my potential is soul related, then it is possible that I will have these potentials occur in that other realm. I will separate the realms out in my mind, and a rule will be created. The universe is full of fundamental rules. All of these rules are negotiatable to each individual. They become "real" to the masses, because the masses adopt all adopt them. If there is an individual who is able to rewrite their own rule book then they will see a totally different Universe. Most of the rules we live by we have "adopted" by default. We have accepted without challenge, someone elses rules. Our acceptance of a rule makes it our own. On this basis what is real, is defined by us through a direct decision or indirectly by acceptance of someone elses decision. God is a term described as Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient. Exists everywhere, all powerful, and all knowing. Sounds to me like a name for a sea of possibilities, only shorter. Assuming this were true, and we being made in the image of God are the observers, then we need to very aware of what we decide is real, because for us it will be. We effectively are the gods of our own experiencing world. Due to the fact that it is infinite potential, the only way we can experience it, is to limit it in some way shape or form. A lot like the correct way to set a goal. You need to make it measurable. So my beliefs which effectively are my fundament rules that I start channelling and limiting potential with become incredibly important. By revisiting my fundamental beliefs, I am reviewing the point at which I begin to limit my total potential, and then I can go from there. If I have limited my potential greatly early, then I am going to feel a huge gap between my true potential and what I am experiencing. This gap is that feeling of "longing" that we have that sets us off on the journey of self discovery to improve our experience of our potential. If many of our beliefs are hand me downs from others who also have very limited perspectives then we start life off trapped in a limited potential and have to develop our way out. I will do a review under a new post.
