This world is in our mind (is a dream)

[elucid]

Hey everyone, I was not going to post this but seeing that I have gained a well enough reputation to have me trusted and make this worth it. Here goes, this world is a dream or is in our mind, how do I know. Simple, I recently had my kundalini awakened, and as a result of this, I was once looking at the sky when the number 1 in almost perfect formation was formed with the stars, I would look at the sky with the expectation that a star would appear and it did, tested this about 4 or 5 times, it became too ordinary for me. I was looking at the sky when birds appeared out of thin blue air. This one is very interesting, I was looking at the ground with the desire of having ants appear and it did, so I concluded that without even speaking a word the ants appeared, it must mean that my mind created as that is very plausible because others would have hard time knowing what you want. And yes, this is true and I am not delusional, please read my posts and see my logic capabilities and criticism if you do not trust me.

I would like to see some footage of you manifesting things, if that's alright.

[LucidTeammate]

I would like to see some footage of you manifesting things, if that's alright. I agree

[elucid]

I would like to see some footage of you manifesting things, if that's alright. It is perfectly all right, if you can wait for me to find a video camera and note that I dont know how it happened, so I am not sure of its consistency but I will try to video camera the ant appearing. Also, if you wish to have a personal experience of these things, I recommend that you work on your Kundalini awakening, notice that it can be painful as it releases powerful stored energy from your body.

No. The world is in our minds, perhaps. But it is not in yours. Or mine. Ours implies that you do not have exclusive control over it. So all those things are delusions, I'm afraid, inside your head. The birds were already in the sky, you just weren't consciously aware of them, until you decided. And the ants were also there before you decided. Ask an outside observer next time. I do, however, believe that you were truly unaware of these things until you decided to notice - I mean create - them. And inside your mind you can thus control the world in it. But anyone standing next to you would disagree and if you don't keep your mind in check with reality, possibly commit you to an institution one day. These things are best left for inside your own private dreams at night. If you feel the urge to control anything with your mind during the day, do so only to your own beliefs - that will really change the world around you. E.g.: I decided that family and security are of greater value than easy living and adventure - shortly thereafter the entire continent around me changed (I moved). Just by changing a belief inside yourself, you can literally move mountains. And when I skype with my friends back home and show them Stone Mountain on the camera as opposed to Zwartkop where I grew up, they agree that the mountain has changed.

Until I witness evidence that what you claim is true, I must assume that either you are delusional, or more likely that you've experienced a coincidence and given into it too readily. I might be wrong, but I doubt your critical thinking skills are as high as you claim. We aren't going to see a video of these things genuinely happening. In all of the situations you describe, the thing that you claim to have made appear out of nowhere could easily have only seemed to come from nowhere. Ants regularly come out of cracks in the ground, birds often seem to 'appear' as they fly close enough for you to see, and everyone will gradually see more stars as they stare at the sky for long time. If you really think these things do happen too often to be a coincidence, The James Randi Educational Foundation is offering a million dollar prize to anyone who can prove scientifically that they have a paranormal power.

The world is in our minds, perhaps. But it is not in yours. Or mine. Ours means that you do not have exclusive control over it. Let me rephrase it, this world is a dream and we are all in it. This way, you cant say in whose mind it is. It is one gigantic mind. So all those things are delusions, I'm afraid, inside your head. The birds were already in the sky, you just weren't consciously aware of them, until you decided. And the ants were also there before you decided. I take extreme precautions to these things as I suggested, please read my other posts to see if I am a delusional type of guy. Here is the story of the bird, the sky is clear blue, nothing to block my view, and suddenly a bird appears, I noticed that sometimes birds would appear and I could not see the source point, but in these cases I did see them. And the ants were so close to me that it could not have been delusion. Also, please give me the standard for reality. the thing that you claim to have made appear out of nowhere could easily have only seemed to come from nowhere. I never made that claim that I made it appear out of nowhere as I do not know how. I am not bothered in the least by the criticism as I am like you with others claim, I knowing this did not post this early as it is merely a waste of time without first gaining a good amount of trust with you guys. A nice way of looking at this is to see my motive in this and there is none other than being honest to help you guys see the truth of the world. I am not a magician or anything to make these things appear, I do not know how, I simply witnessed it.

I take extreme precautions to these things as I suggested, please read my other posts to see if I am a delusional type of guy. Here is the story of the bird, the sky is clear blue, nothing to block my view, and suddenly a bird appears, I noticed that sometimes birds would appear and I could not see the source point, but in these cases I did see them. And the ants were so close to me that it could not have been delusion. I do not have the time to check your other posts for sanity, but will gladly take your word and coherence in these sentences as sufficient proof. I suspect you are just missing some data; did you know that the human eye has a blind spot at the very center of focus? When I look at a star or bird dead on, it actually vanishes. Even the best computer will "make a mistake" with bad data. So that is all that is up here - you have a perfect computer in your brain, it just has missing data. E.g.: the data that there actually were birds and ants in your field of vision, you just either had them in your blind spot, or your reticular activating system didn't forward them to your conscious awareness.

[elucid]

Well all I can say here is that I am very strict with these claims and I had a tremendous thirst for these type of things, I have sufficiently seen things to believe in them and be satisfied and my thirst is quenched. Like I said, work on your kundalini awakening to have personal experiences of these things. Also let me state this, I do not disagree with you guys, it could have been delusions, it could have been real, it could have been something else, my point here is that I am telling you guys the way I saw it with my critical mind. What conclusions you derive from it is up to you guys.

[IAmCoder]

I will do some work on that then, thank you. And I did not mean to shoot you down. I was hoping to direct your thirst back on to your mind, away from the illusions like ants and birds. You can change the world around you and your future before sunrise by making a few simple changes to your beliefs (if... then... statements and your core values).

[Arra]

You seem pretty reasonable, and I really hope you're right, because I would love if the supernatural existed. Maybe you did see something that can't be explained in a way that agrees with current scientific knowledge. But as you said yourself, you can't expect anyone else who hasn't experienced it or seen the evidence you have to believe you. Especially considering that thousands of people have claimed things like this, and every claim that's been tested scientifically has failed.

[Michael]

I'm just not too impressed with seeing a number 1 in the sky, birds and ants. What's this supposed to mean? Maybe the birds were there but you didn't know until you looked and same with everything else. Life is kind of like a dream, but you can't control things like that. And I've seen crazier stuff =P

[♥Mark]

you didn't see something until you looked for it AMAZING MAGICK

[elucid]

The best option here is to have you experience these things yourself and for that I recommend awakening your kundalini energy. And by the way, I tried to video camera the ant but did not get anything. but you can't control things like that. Never claimed that, I witnessed it. Especially considering that thousands of people have claimed things like this, and every claim that's been tested scientifically has failed. Read the book, "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot, it is very interesting and is related to those miracles. You can read it for free at: The Holographic Universe

[Invader]

It is perfectly all right, if you can wait for me to find a video camera and note that I dont know how it happened, so I am not sure of its consistency but I will try to video camera the ant appearing. Thank you. That would be great.

[DrunkenArse]

It is perfectly all right, if you can wait for me to find a video camera ... Why don't you manifest one?

[Xei]

I would look at the sky with the expectation that a star would appear and it did There are lots of stars in the sky. I was looking at the sky when birds appeared out of thin blue air. There are lots of birds in the air. I was looking at the ground with the desire of having ants appear and it did There are lots of ants on the ground.

[Photolysis]

Ah DreamViews. Home to trolls, stupid people, and the mentally unstable.

[Xei]

Only because it's a subset of Earth.

[IAmCoder]

I found a video demonstrating the phenomena; Now we can all have personal experiences of these things without even working on our kundalini!

[elucid]

Why don't you manifest one? I dont know how, I never claimed to have. I just witnessed it. There are lots of birds in the air. There are lots of ants on the ground. Yeah, but it becomes suspicious when they come out of thin air. Like I said, if I all of a sudden saw an ant I would not have cared, or if I all of a sudden saw a bird in the sky I would not have bothered, but because I was looking for this phenomenon when I saw their source of origination, that is the whole point, is that I saw the source that they came from else it could be that they were there but I did not notice them. Ah DreamViews. Home to trolls, stupid people, and the mentally unstable. Which one am I? Lets debate this because I have plenty of time on my hand, lol. I found a video demonstrating the phenomena; Now we can all have personal experiences of these things without even working on our kundalini Nope, it still does not solve the issue of them coming out of nowhere. Let me explain it this way, there is a center point, there are things around this center point that are about 6 inches apart from this center point. The ant came from this center point, so it could not have crept up from a crack, and explain this, after I saw one, another one came right after it, from a different point though. If that is not proof enough, then explain how an ant came out of nowhere in a cement tile floor? No cracks, in a carpet I understand that it could have been hiding in the threads. Anyway people, it is real and I have witnessed it, I encourage your questioning very much though I discourage your assumptions about my mental health or IQ. If you guys have anymore questions, please post them. And for an exercise of critical thinking, I encourage you to not believe in this nor disbelieve.

I would like to see some footage of you manifesting things, if that's alright. If life is just a dream, that means that these things elucid manifests are nothing more than part of his perceptions, which would mean that only he would be able to see the things he manifests. So, sure... I can believe that elucid experienced this... and that there's a diagnosis and a name for it that be solved with the right medication

[elucid]

So, sure... I can believe that elucid experienced this... and that there's a diagnosis and a name for it that be solved with the right medication Lets make an agreement, if I prove to you that magic exists, can we stay off this schizophrenic theory of yours.

[Xaqaria]

It is perfectly all right, if you can wait for me to find a video camera and note that I dont know how it happened, so I am not sure of its consistency but I will try to video camera the ant appearing.

Huh? You are able to manifest birds and ants, but you have to try to find a video camera? Just manifest one with your mind, silly.

[elucid]

Huh? You are able to manifest birds and ants, but you have to try to find a video camera? Just manifest one with your mind, silly The invaders point was to video camera it as an evidence. And I never said I can manifest these things, I do not know how, I just witnessed it. And are you Muslim? Because of your name?
