New age thoughts: Where to go from here?

August 13th, 2007 by Osman

I have always been interested in mystical stories, new age thoughts and teachings, the bleeding edge of science, etc.

After years of reading, thinking, talking about “what does it all mean”, nowadays I came with a conclusion on all things I have researched so far.

The movies “what the bleep do we know”, “the secret” and the books of Abraham’s teachings, some hands on, useful information on quantum physics are really helpful to sum up what you know and what to make out of what you know.

If I were to write down what I am feeling recently, and all the things those feelings suddenly brought to my life, I had to write a book!

But since this is a daily blog post, I will not going to make you drown in details. Three quotes from “the secret” may be successful on summarizing what I feel exactly at the moment, and there is only this moment; it is always now.

Learn to become still and take your attention away from what you don’t want, and place your attention on what you wish to experience.

When the voice and vision on the inside become more profound and clear than the opinions on the outside, then you have mastered your life.

You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it. You are here to create the world around you that you choose.

That’s what it all means.

Thoughts become things

July 24th, 2007 by Osman

Well, nowadays I am mostly busy with concepts that are introduced in The Secret and What The Bleep Do We Know. What those movies say are almost identical. The Secret is absolutely based on facts that are explained in What The Bleep Do We Know.

The main idea is that the universe would be a set of possibilities and nothing would happen or nothing would turn into reality when nobody is there. This is hard to swallow. This is not the physical world we are being told at school. This is something different than what we got used to believe.

Briefly, there are particles that creates an atom and those particles do not provide a reality until they are being observed by some mind. To get a hang of this, please see this Wikipedia pages about the slit experiment and the observer effect.

This means that our minds are able to create this observer effect. Well, frankly, this means that we provide an observer effect and create most of the reality that surrounds us.

It is very likely that it rains when it rains just because a couple of hundreds of people are believing that it will rain or is raining.

This is where thoughts become things and The Secret has to be understood that way. You can create your reality.

Now, a couple of questions arise in my mind… When most of the people think without knowing the secret, they are creating realities for all of us, unconsciously. Those who know and don’t know the secret both broadcast waves of thought while sleeping. Whenever they dream of something during sleep, it is very possible that they are creating a reality somewhere.

What do you think of this?

Experiences on Meditation

July 2nd, 2007 by Osman

I am not an advanced person on meditation. I am not even an intermediate. I dreamed on meditating for years. Finally last week, I decided to sit for about 30 minutes. I would like to share what I felt.

Well, it is not easy to concentrate on the first hand. Many thoughts flow while you are trying to concentrate on nothing. This is so much like brainstorming by yourself that you can use this for creative thinking.

For emptying your mind, experts usually suggest concentrating on your breath. This suggestion has both practical and philosophical meanings. Since meditation is a form of prayer primarily for Hinduism and Buddhism, and since the main idea of them are “the truth that everything passes by”, breathing in and out represents the temporary aspect of life.

On the practical side, it is really convenient to concentrate on your breathing in order not to think about anything else.

For a decent meditation, don’t force yourself not to think about anything. Let your thoughts flow and treat them as your guests. Listen to them and know that the listening period is temporary. Thus, you can have you thoughts listened and see them pass by.

This is also very good in terms of relaxation. I’ll continue to post about my experiences on meditation.
