At what point in our timeline (historical, not Facebook!)
did we lose this? Did, in fact, we ever have it previously? And if we did, was
it a conscious awareness, or something that we possessed and ‘used’ subconsciously,
blissfully unaware, and happy? While not the place for all my ‘deeper’
thoughts, I do find that having a hot shower does tend to stimulate the neural
function more often than not.
I have just finished watching What the Bleep Do We Know!? It is a film that I’ve been aware of
since it was released, but never really got around to seeing when it was doing
it’s big screen rounds (art-house, I’m assuming), and even when it was released
on DVD. I’ve seen it sitting on the shelf a few times, and at one stage even
held it in my hand, thinking about it. Was I not ready for it, at the time, or
was it not ready for me?
My interest in this area has been reasonably active for a
while, be it the idea of quantum physics/mechanics, the Secret, The Law of
Attraction, manifestation, self-regulated life design. When you boil it down,
they are really all the same product, just with different packaging. (Well,
that’s the way I’ve seen and interpreted it!) I still haven’t read nor watched
The Secret, and probably won’t, as it would appear there have been umpteen many
people summarising it, or at least saying that it’s not the full story. But
then, who knows, maybe one day my curiosity will get the better of me (or maybe
it will be ready for me).
But back to my original question: at what point did we ‘lose’
this power/perception/control. To my knowledge and awareness, we discovered we
had lost it somewhere in the decadence of the 80s. Was it like walking down the
street after being to the movies, a coffee shop, a milk bar, a non-milk bar
(no, not soy!), and a book shop, and only then realising that your phone or
your keys were missing? Was it a quick pat of the pockets and, “Oh, shit! I’ve
mis-placed my quantum ability to design and manifest the life I choose and
desire!”? And more to the point, is there really any one person, or people, out
there who can really tell us what it is all, truly, about, or is it all just a
matter of people’s perception and interpretation (and that could probably be
applied to just about any situation where people proclaim to be experts and
hold ‘the answer’!) and we just have to find the one that sits comfortably on
our shoulders. That jacket that we saw in the catalogue, the one that would
have been perfect, but there doesn’t seem to be any in stock, anywhere.
There
are similar jackets the right size but not in the colour we wanted, and the
colour we wanted but not quite the right fit.
The jacket we wanted was definitely here, at one stage, but for now it’s
gone. Maybe it will turn up in an op-shop one day, but will we recognize it?
