R. Franks<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cThere are hundreds of different radio waves being broadcast all around you from distant stations. At any given instant, your office or car or living room is full of these radio waves. However if you turn on a radio, you can listen to only one frequency at a time; these other frequencies are not in phase with each other.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Each station has a different frequency, a different energy. As a result, your radio can only be turned to one broadcast at a time. Likewise, in our universe we are tuned into the frequency that corresponds to physical reality. But there are an infinite number of parallel realities coexisting with us in the same room, although we cannot tune into them.\u201d<\/em> ~ Professor Steven Weinberg<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there a theory of the universe that is so wildly implausible, so limitless, so enchanting, so unbelievably miraculous that perhaps it could be true?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Could there be infinite possibilities (alternative universes) that all exist simultaneously in the eternal now moment, all happening and coinciding with each other in their own space and time?<\/p>\n<p>If this is our \u201creality\u201d then truly, everything one ever thought was true, is not\u2014we may have to recalibrate every idea or concept we ever had about life itself.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/370\/2015\/02\/SAY-YES.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-729\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/370\/2015\/02\/SAY-YES.jpg\" alt=\"SAY-YES\" width=\"285\" height=\"369\" \/><\/a>\u201cWe all exist in multiple universes and create our own bubble of reality.\u201d<\/em> ~ Gerald O\u2019Donnell<\/p>\n<p>This strikes me as potentially the most significant insight we can have about our own life: We are all ultimately responsible for choosing our reality. It is through our choices in how we view our lives that our lives change.<\/p>\n<p>We can create our own alternate realities via the \u201cstories\u201d we create about what we see and experience. Philosophically, one can speculate endlessly about parallel universes, yet existentially and practically speaking, we are making a choice via the narrative we adopt. We are sculpting our world via our choices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Power of Perspective: Creating Your Future<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From moment to moment, we are empowered to make a difference to ourselves, to others, and to our world. It all amounts to changing our narrative, or perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Our perspective on what happens to us is the prime determinant of how we create our life. The dictionary (Apple Inc.) defines &#8216;PERSPECTIVE&#8217; as:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201ca particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is an outlook, stance, frame of reference, approach, way of looking at things, an interpretation. It is how we view the world. We each have a unique and distinctive viewpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Our perspectives shift and change our perceptions of reality. These perceptions result in beliefs which are convictions about the world, the things we accept as real and true. Our beliefs lead to our behaviors. How we behave is the end point that causes events to occur, and leads to the results we get.<\/p>\n<p>As the Buddha said, <em>\u201call that we are is the result of what we have thought.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Everything\u00a0depends on perspective.<\/p>\n<p>And this brings up an interesting point: If the point of origin is in the now, we can be the architect of our future. Even if everything has failed, or seems bleaker than the darkest night, still there is hope in a single moment, the present moment of choice.<\/p>\n<p>One can still make a new choice that can entirely and radically change everything. As James Allen wrote, \u201cin the ocean of life, the isles of blessedness are smiling and the sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Choosing the Way You Think<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If we are stuck within our little box of reality, our little paradigm that says we have a past, present and future and this and that identity, culture, family \u2013 we will remain shipwrecked, far from seeing the true picture, that reality is way vaster than we can imagine.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if we were to shift into a state of gratitude over every event, our worlds would shift entirely, our whole experience of life would dramatically transform \u2013 as all would be good, all would be well, all would beokay as it is. The wise say that the essential truth of the universe is in the sun and the stars, in the fact that it is consciousness that creates and binds the whole universe together, in the idea that all is love, and all that is important for us to know is love? This is our infinite potential, our breathtaking universe. Is this the ultimate message behind it all?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cHabits of thinking need not be forever. One of the most significant findings in psychology in the last twenty years is that individuals can choose the way they think.\u201d<\/em> ~ Martin Seligman from Learned Optimism<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We can change our perception, we can choose a new narrative, we can, if we choose to. Whatever may come is okay, welcomed, accepted, without resistance. Effortless living is easier than struggle. There is nowhere else we need to be, but in the here and now, and in the sparkle in each other\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Apple coined the phrase &#8211; THINK DIFFERENT. Living one&#8217;s possibility requires being a creator, creating one&#8217;s own frontier, and pushing one&#8217;s own limits, going beyond the &#8216;normal.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cyes is a world &amp; in this world of yes live (skillfully curled) all worlds\u201d ~ e. e. cummings<\/p>\n<p>Say &#8216;YES&#8217;\u00a0to your world!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/370\/2015\/02\/daviey.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-721\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/370\/2015\/02\/daviey.jpg\" alt=\"daviey\" width=\"250\" height=\"232\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you ready to take the next step?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Work with me!
