Mind over or in Matter

Have been watching more of the interviews on what the bleep. Kudos again to the film makers and experts. The one I have been watching to day talks about mind and matter. This is expanding my comprehension. It is my perspective that is creating the illusion. When I look only from my perspective I see only one view. If I looked at the same idea from a different perspective I would see a different view. If I really wanted to understand something I would need to see it from many different perspectives. I would call this idea of having had many different perspectives "experience". If I go through my life without changing much I am restricting my view. So change is critical to experience. I have been holding on to certain fundamental theories about what I am experiencing and as a result, my experience is very limited. The perspective in particular that has not changed for me is what is mind, and what is matter. I have been trying to influence matter, with my mind, but have seen the two as completely separate. What if they are not. What if they are exactly the same. When you look at those pictures with the 3d image hidden in them. You are looking at the same thing. But if you look at it a slightly different way, you get a totally different picture. I believe now that this view I have of the world is the same as the pictures. I have looked at my world the same way for years. I have seen the same page as a result. Now I am going to look at it differently. Now I am going to look at it as Mind, not matter. Not only that, but see it as MY MIND. Everything that happens in my world is a reflection of what I see. How I see myself, and how I see the world. The fact that I see it as 'the world' for a start. What if it is actually my mind. What if I am actually inside my mind having an experience similarly to a dream. Intention is a command of thought directed in mind to cause an experience. If I am directing this into matter but seeing it as separate, then nothing would happen as I have not made a connection to matter. This is why some people use another entity as a medium such as GOD. They give their idea of God permission to have the power to control matter. They are also able to justify their reasoning as to why their idea of God would find enough favour in them to grant them their wish. This is much more acceptable in the eyes of those around them than them being God. It is just not socially acceptable to be God, because that would mean you need to be the one who is responsible for everything. It is much easier to be the humble servant. But funnly enough, it is your power that makes your concept of God capable of what you decide. So what if I am inside my own mind. Then by theory if I can conceive it, I can experience it. What do I want to experience? Perceptions of myself. I want to know who I am. I don't know. I can never know for sure. But I can experience an infinite number of perceptions of how I see myself, which of course changes over time as I have more options to choose from, which change based on expansion of comprehension. Lets change subject a second and go to how appreciation comes into the picture if I am in my mind. My perception of appreciation was an appeasing action to create. This may well be true at one of the levels I talked about yesterday. Perhaps in one of these levels where Karma is at play, then so is appreciation. I don't want to dispose of the idea just yet, deciding it is in a level and that I am seeking now or am now outside that level and therefore do not need to adhere to the law of appreciation. I really want to be sure I fully comprehend it's place. It could be that appreciation is a necessary step before intention. Perhaps it focuses me inward to God self, that contains all things. Perhaps it acts as a signal like a gps that creates a signature for the ideas from infinite possibilities to come to. If I am able to see that all matter is the arms and legs and I am the head. Or that all matter including the current perspective I hold which is the body, is a part of my mind, and just like I can 'will' the body to move this way or that, so too can I 'will' any other part of my mind to come before my current perspective for viewing. The interesting thing here is that I have separated these out because I have chosen one as a perspective. But this is just a viewing platform, not who I am. Problems began as soon as I actually did decide it was who I am. Then I became limited to the capability of that one perspective. As a separate entity I see that my mind is limited to the confines of the perspective I currently hold. I try to exert control over my environment which I deem to be separate through social conditioning, and thus if I am able to I call it mind over matter. But what if it really is mind in matter. Or mind is matter. I see it as matter because I am looking at it through the eyes of another thought. When one thought looks at another, at a certain level, they would appear "physical". I am looking at a thought through another thought, so of course, it appears physical. But in fact from my true position, it is just a thought, and all thoughts are equal. Intention moves thoughts around my mind. Lets look at it from a different perspective. Lets say that this mind I am in....God's mind, is like the internet. I am one intention, and I seek to hook up with another thought that also has an intention that is similar to my. Then there is the possibility that each thought is individualized by it's energy value, like a calorific value. My personal value increases through appreciation so my capacity to attract a thought of similar value increase. But I have trouble accepting this because I do feel that thoughts have an equal value. That I don't need to do anything to attract them on a value basis. I can accept that I am like a magnet, and that appreciation charges my magnet with a positive energy, that enables me to attract things, so if I couple intention with appreciation then I will attract the idea at the center of my intention. This gels well. Ok, going for another perspective, is to bring the Universe into being a living organism. A living mind. Thinking about the mind, what actually is it? Is it empty space to which I push in a thought. If it is then where does the thought go once I have pushed it there? Where did the thought come from if it was not there already. Is it like a giant internet, where we have addresses so that things know how to get to us, and so we can get to things. And we have teams that are like our search engines that find the things we are looking to experience. And that once we put a thought out into the web, it is there forever, even that there are some web addresses that may never be found by others, or visited by a soul. I still haven't answered my queston. Where does it come from...the thought in the first place. Is it already there, and I simply dipped my head into the bubble and caught it? Am I actually creating the thought? Is the thought actually God's thought, and he implants me with a notion so that I will take as my own so he can experience himself? See, so many possibilities, like the internet...getting the question right, is the most important thing to ensuring a quality answer. Do I actually have a thought? Or is this the act of my perspective having a thought of which I am privy to because I am observing. I may have intention...this is a a surety. But I am not so sure about whether I actually have an original thought? What if all thoughts were already had, and therefore I am simply now in the process of experiencing them. Perhaps it is in how we relate to certain thoughts more than others, or certain beliefs more than others. Take for example the fact that we relate far more strongly to the idea that we are in fact a human than a god. We relate far more strongly to the idea that we are separate to all things, than we are connected. Change is about challenging how I relate to things. If I don't allow challenges to my philosophy and beliefs, then change of fundamentals will be very very slow. If I am attached to things too strongly then change is extremely unlikely. This is the teachings of Buddha in relation to attachment and suffering as depicted in "what the bleep2" interviews. It didn't gel for me the attachment to things, probably because I have already lost this attachment already. I also had already learnt that I would need to give up my metaphysics to be able to make it to the finishing line, because it is this concept of attachment that leads me to resisting the change in comprehension that can deliver me to a new level of understanding. So is it about choosing how I will relate to things differently in a way that is conducive to receiving them rather than being separate from them. Example: If I relate to all things around me as if they are living active parts of God Energy, or extensions of my mind, or all things know who I am, and recognize me especially my goals. If I relate to all things around me as if I am a god, and these are my brothers, equal parts of God I will see all of these things differently. If I see all the things around me as a part of my world, including all the other people. If I relate to my world that what I see is a tiny percentage of what is underlying and governing this viewing platform. If I relate to this viewing platform as one of many levels, it changes things considerable.
