Changing the Fabric of Thought

"He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality."

- Anwar al-Sadat

I came to work this morning and found this quote in my email inbox. The topic of changing reality has been a popular one on the Higher Balance Institute(HBI) Navigator Forum. They, including myself, aren't really trying to change reality so much as to influence and greater good. Eric Pepin posted a question and proposed an exercise.

If you had to choose three things that you could effect in this world, what would they be and why. Now I expect to get all the normal stuff like love and peace and of course it goes without saying I want the same things. Let me say it differently. A watch and all of its mechanical parts all operate together in order to give you some results like the time of day, the date and month etc. In this case I am suggesting rather than spreading like a color wave on the earth only to be faded in by the noise to concentrate on a few things specifically.

What would they be?

- Eric J. Pepin (1/27/2009)

So if you could, and you can, change the fabric of their own thought enough to reach a high enough state of mind to influence the reality around us what would you choose?

Not an easy question. I am sure many people would cringe and run way at the very idea that they could do such thing. In reality though, no pun intended, they are the ones that would probably make the best decision. Those that would jump at this idea or ability most likely have their own needs placed in front of the greater good for the whole of humanity. Something else to keep in mind is that short term turmoil can often lead to a better future for all.

Stratled Awake

Last night I had an intense dream that woke me up with a start. As I am writing this I can’t remember what the dream was about. Not that it really matters. What I want to share with you isn’t the dream but what happen when slash as I woke up.

The way I woke up was almost exactly like you see on TV or in a movie. When someone wakes up from a nightmare. Sitting straight up in bed awhile take a loud grasping breath in. This of course woke my wife up as well. I can remember maybe one other time in my life where I have woken up like this. But this was different from that time because I as was opening my eyes it was like a strobe light flashed once in our room. Both of us saw it! A little freaked out I collected myself and tried to investigate what cause the flash. I thought maybe a the power had surged and went out. I turned on my bedside lamp and could tell that the power was still working. we checked all the electronics in the room. All the lights were working, no flashing clocks, a power strip that had a couple of thing plugged into, including a humidifier, was still working and did not trip.

I started to check the rest of the house, nothing. Check the backyard where our window faces, nothing.

I was on nerve in two ways. One I hope that my house isn’t going to start on fire from an electrical short. I even grabbed a fire extinguisher and placed it by the bed. Two, who knows what else is going on. I tried doing some scanning and feeling around the room, house, and surrounding area. I couldn’t really feel much other then my own alertness and nerves. So I put up a pyramid around the whole house for good measure and tried to get some more sleep.

It was a very strange experience that had me freaked out the rest of the night.

As I am reliving the experience I am not sure wether I awoke from a startled dream or from the flash of light. Either way I still am trying to explain the flash.

It Is Time to Awaken!
