Bending
Reality
By
Lynn Woodland
Relativity theory and quantum physics have shown us a remarkable new
definition of reality in which time and space aren't fixed, matter
isn't solid and the very nature of matter changes according to the
expectations of those observing it. We're seeing that consciousness
has the power to affect the physical plane and that minds are joined
beyond the limits of time and space. To quote one of the pioneers of
quantum physics, Erwin Schroedinger, on the nature of consciousness,
“the overall number of minds is just one.”
This article is not just about the mysteries of time, space and matter.
It's an opportunity to explore and experience these mysteries. It's
an invitation to suspend disbelief, to allow your mind to be boggled
and take a leap out of the box of what you think you know. Beginning
with the assumption that if one person’s mind has the power to
affect matter, let's imagine that connecting with the oneness of
all minds has a synergistic power greater than we can achieve separately.
Picture yourself, simply through your intention to do so, connecting
with every other mind who has read, is reading, or will read this article.
Imagine that, beyond the illusionary limitations of time and space,
together we have formed a synergistic healing force capable of moving
proverbial mountains.
For a moment, hold the intention that every reader now receives their
highest good and, that just by reading this article, so will you. Spiritual
healing follows the path of thought and intention so the more powerfully
you hold this thought, the more easily you will create this as a physical
reality. Already you have become more than a passive reader – you
have entered the process and begun to reshape matter, invoking a healing
response for yourself and countless others you will never know.
Let's wade a little more deeply into the fuzziness of reality to
play with the whole notion of time. Einstein proved in his theory of
relativity that time and space aren't a fixed and neutral container
for all that is, that they can be altered by what they contain. To stretch
your brain around this, imagine that when you're running late you
could expand time to make more of it. Imagine being able to heal a medical
condition in the past right at its inception instead of at its current,
more advanced state. Suppose you could condense time and skip steps
that lie between where you are now and a desired future outcome (as
subatomic particles are known to do when they make quantum leaps). Or
imagine being able to simply send a state of mind, such as joy, into
the future so it will be there waiting for you.
Some folks in my weekly group did some playing with time and discovered
that expanding it was actually quite an easy place to start so, for
any of you still with this article who want to claim your power over
time, try the following visualization:
(For best results, I recommend practicing this a few times before
you're actually in a situation where you need it so it'll come
more easily when you're actually running late.)
Bring to mind the experience of what it's like to run late. Notice
what you usually do: the thoughts you think, what you feel, the stress
that builds up in your body. Let the experience become very real...
Now, as you feel everything speeding up inside of you, winding tighter
and tighter, stop the process and let yourself become completely still.
Relax. Let your shoulders drop. Stop thinking of where you're going
and what you're doing... Just let go. This may feel opposite
to what you're conditioned to do but let yourself do it anyway.
Create a vivid inner experience of peace. (If you're telling yourself
you don't feel peaceful and therefore can't call it to mind,
invite your imagination to show you what it would be like if you did
feel peace. Recall a time when you felt peaceful. Imagination will take
us anywhere – even to the places we've never been and have
no memory to draw upon.) Now imagine the universal fabric around you
bending and flowing, reshaping itself to reflect your inner state of
peace. Imagine time itself becoming soft and flexible and stretching
to accommodate your needs. Hold a strong certainty that you now have
plenty of time. Picture yourself being where you need to be on time,
getting done what you need to do with time to spare, not needing to
rush or sacrifice or feel stressed. Be light, playful and peaceful as
you imagine these things. Let it be a game and not deadly serious. Let
go of any attachment you may have to the outcome so it no longer matters
whether you have enough time or not. Affirm that everything will work
out perfectly no matter what and that there's plenty of time.
Now continue what you were doing, maintaining this light, peaceful state
of mind as you do. See if you don't wind up, impossible though it
may seem, with time to spare!
