I don’t believe that limitations in
states of matter have to exist. We are programmed for limitations of matter since birth so we believe in this. Breaking what “science” has told us is valid
is challenging in this concrete seeming world we live in. Believing in what we
see with our eyes or experience with our five senses is normal and reaching
through it for the ability of matter to shift is so illusory an idea to believe
in but it’s well worth the journey. Miracles
do happen all the time.
I read a story which talked about a
young boy in India demonstrating illusion to a group of young archeologists
touring Asia from the U.S. They
surrounded the East Indian youth as he placed a seed in the ground and before their
very eyes a seed sprouted into a sapling and then into a tree and from there an
orange came forth. The Indian youth
encouraged the American to go forth and pick the fruit, when he did so the
entire illusion disappeared.
The American who picked the fruit
was irritated and vowed to never fall prey to this illusion again. The Indian boy begged his forgiveness and
said that his teacher could really manifest the orange tree in solid
matter. He ran to get his teacher and
brought him before the Americans once again.
Again, a seed was placed in the ground and from it a tree sprouted and
from it grew an orange right before their very eyes. Again, an American was urged to pick the
fruit, this time the orange was real.
The boy wanted to prove to them that this could be done. The guru fired his disciple after the
demonstration.
Don’t trust what your eyes tell
you.
They are deceiving, but convenient
in this world.
Illusions are what the magicians
make us believe are real.
Besides, if all of us know from our
science studies that all electrons are always in motion, then why do we choose
to believe that a table is solid? If
you’ve ever bent a spoon or fork with your energy rather than your physical
strength you’ve experienced that there is a split second where our believing
gives way to truth and the spoon bends. Some people do this through the art of
illusion and some people do this with phenomenon.
There are some martial artists that
can push a straw through a solid piece of wood without the straw bending, make
paper bust into flames between their hands, or even levitate. When is it magic versus phenomenon?
That’s another conversation.
