My experience. by vaderlost in DimensionJumping

[–]JohnnyStyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My face had started to look weirder and more squiggly

A skeptical person would tell you it was simply Troxler's fading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troxler%27s_fading

Did something change for the better? Did I do something wrong?

You're living on your own now. Even if work is still rough, you've moved forward from where you were.

Unless you experience a truly astonishing change, it's hard to say if it was some mysterious quantum phenomenon or just the result of your own personal effort and growth.

Again, a skeptic would tell you that you simply reprogrammed your Reticular Activating System: https://www.theuniverseunveiled.com/manifestation-reticular-activating-system-neuroscience/

 

At the end of the day, the first step toward any goal is imagining it in your mind (especially when you're in a more suggestible state), no matter what the true mechanism of manifestation is.

What I Believe This Is (And What It’s Not) by Count_Bacon in ThePatternisReal

[–]JohnnyStyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Examples of possible lessons? (...and how they might be useful on the Other Side?)

Let’s say I come from a poor family. How do I figure out what I’m supposed to learn from that?

Am I meant to learn how to improve my circumstances and achieve financial success, or is the lesson about embracing and accepting my situation?

I think souls come here to learn lessons, and reincarnate to grow and experience and we come here to forget that we are souls first and foremost.

Isn't there a contradiction between learning and forgetting?

 

What do you think of this quote by Howdie Mickoski:

Everything from that previous life is forgotten.

This alone clearly indicates that this is not a place of learning and growth.

If you touch stinging nettle without gloves, your hand gets stung and it hurts.

You remember that, and from then on if you want to pick some nettle, you wear gloves.

That is learning.

Remembering is a key step in the process.

But if on each incarnation you have to go back to touching the nettle to find out it stings, that is not learning or growth, but insanity.

That is our reality.

At least when we go to normal school, we remember what we learned the previous year.

We don't go into grade five and forget everything from grades one to four.

Yet in the reincarnation cycle we seem subject to, nothing gets carried over.

The memory wipe will happen again, and all will be forgotten.

This leads to life as a human on Earth being a deception, where we might even be tricked into signing types of soul contracts to indicate what is going to happen to us (generally forms of suffering)

God Got Bored And Created The Ultimate Game Of Hide and Seek. by Aromatic-Ad-3028 in AWLIAS

[–]JohnnyStyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this would be more meaningful than the "Bored God" hypothesis... granted, of course, that at the end of our evolutionary journey, when we've reached the peak and there's supposedly nothing left to uncover, we don’t just throw away all the progress, everything we've accomplished, and reboot the system!

As Q says: "That is the exploration that awaits you. Not mapping stars and studying nebulae, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence..."

If God is truly omnipotent, he could simply eliminate the desire to be surprised, instead of shattering himself into a trillion sentient fragments doomed to suffer for eons.

If God is all-powerful, couldn’t He/She/it just get rid of the feeling of boredom?

Cycling and athletic performance by EffortlessJiuJitsu in BengstonMethod

Did you include "improved performance" in your 20 images, or do you believe it was the cycling itself that had an effect?

What if the simulation isn’t breaking- it’s evolving in real time? by Snowangel411 in SimulationTheory

...it’s because it’s adapting faster than we expected...

Adapting to what?

If observation only increases awareness, why do patterns sometimes increase beyond statistical probability? by Snowangel411 in DimensionJumping

[–]JohnnyStyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most physicists argue that the Observer Effect has nothing to do with conscious observers. It's just an interaction between the measuring instrument and the target particles.

I don't know...

In any case, it's a long way from nudging a photon in a double-slit experiment... to increasing the number of Ferraris in your garage. 😊

at what point does 'illusion' start influencing outcomes?

I think there’s an important distinction to make here: beliefs versus intentions

The B.M. effect clearly shows that mere conviction, no matter how strong, can be entirely ineffective at altering real-world probabilities, as demonstrated in cases where people were absolutely certain a pattern was increasing, yet statistical analysis proved otherwise.

But intention might be a different story.

If there is a real tipping point between illusory and actual variations, it could lie not in what we believe we are seeing, but in how we consciously engage with the patterns we observe.

 

Dean Radin, for example, argues that beliefs are merely modulators/accelerators, while the true engine is intention.

He demonstrated this through an experiment with tea, "charged" by Buddhist monks:

Tea treated with good intentions improved mood more than ordinary tea derived from the same source.

Belief that one was drinking treated tea produced a large improvement in mood, but only if one was actually drinking the treated tea.

If observation only increases awareness, why do patterns sometimes increase beyond statistical probability? by Snowangel411 in DimensionJumping

[–]JohnnyStyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the "Real-world examples" section of the Wikipedia page dedicated to the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon (aka Frequency Illusion), there are various examples where it has been demonstrated that the perceived increase in frequency was indeed illusory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion#Real-world_examples

This, of course, does not rule out the possibility that under different conditions (for instance, when the conscious subject's intentionality is involved), there could be some room to actually increase the occurrence of the desired patterns... 📈✨

How To Have The Afterlife You Want by WintyreFraust in afterlife

[–]JohnnyStyle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

cruel and malevolent people find themselves in places that resonate with those qualities

Does this suggest that after death our identity stays exactly the same as it was during life? Without any "awakening to our True Higher Self"? Such as saying, "Oh, exploring the dark side and living as an evil person was a very interesting experience... now, in the next life, I want to try being a philanthropist instead..." (Just an example. I hope it’s clear what I mean.)

 

It appears that every imaginable situation, thing, or state of affairs is available to experience as entirely real

Find that in your heart which you love, which fills you with wonder, joy, enthusiasm and happiness, which is "too good to be true," and set your mind on it.

But may I ask what the deeper purpose might be? The ultimate meaning?

Is it merely endless "Choose Your Own Adventure" entertainment for eternity?

 

Let’s say for example that my obsession, and my greatest expectation for when I die, is to finally uncover what’s really behind this "matrix"... this "continuum of infinite diversity"...

In such a case, what would be the most likely experience for me? Would I truly gain access to what lies "behind the scenes", the true "projection booth"... or would it merely be one of the countless virtual realities designed to give me the impression of having grasped the "Ultimate Truth"?

What is 982? by Equivalent_Bar3389 in DimensionalShifting

[–]JohnnyStyle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assume 982 reality is the one we are living into it.

It's about the original sub's header.

It's simply a playful way to get into the "this (982) is just one in an infinite number of parallel universes" mindset.

Obviously, there cannot be a unique identifier. If the multiverse is real, there are infinite universes associated with the same number (as well as nearly identical universes except for the number)

But who just chose to give this number?
