In the image of god
Are we god?



"For the last four hundred years, an unstated assumption of science is that human intention cannot affect what we call "physical reality."

Our experimental research of the past decade shows that, for today's world and under the right conditions, this assumption is no longer correct.

We humans are much more than we think we are and Psychoenergetic Science continues to expand the proof of it."


- William A. Tiller

http://www.tillerfoundation.com/



Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other

people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

—Marianne Williamson

1. Thank you for this reminder
:)

I was just quite literally thinking along similar lines, like within the last twenty minutes. I need to manifest better and more of the good stuff in my life. This is more validation that I've really got to hunker down and get to it!

I'll have a look at the link as I know of the Tiller Foundation, whether from here or earlier knowledge. I know I've read about them somewhere :D

2. What the Bleep?
Somehow he was connected to What the Bleep? (movie)

I even sorta read a book of his (Science Adventures in Real Magic). I "got" the IIED idea (intentionally imprinted electronic devices), and loved all the work that went into the research, but overall the book was kinda boring (sorry). It was one of those books that wasn't quite made for the scientifice community, and not quite for the mass market. Still, it was worth reading for the IIED ideas. Plus I think he has written some other books.

3. William Tiller spoke in What the Bleep
I've been following his work for more than fifteen years. And yes, reading his work is tricky because he's a scientist.


The other person I've followed for about 18 years is Fred Alan Wolf - also in What the Bleep. Once upon a time after I read "The Eagle’s Quest: A Physicist’s Search For Truth In The Heart Of The Shamanic World" I had some questions for him so I looked up his phone number and called him to talk. Didn't know him before that, but we had a lovely chat and he's a real sweetheart.

5. Yes
I have a problem with getting into negative thinking patterns, especially regarding the human race and Americans in general. I am trying to move away from this. I pick and choose what news I read so I don't just think of people as stupid and evil all the time. I don't know much about manifestation but I realize that I don't do much for myself by getting into that pattern.

I need to project better form myself. I am so inexperienced that I just keep making small steps, can't seem to change everything.

4. I have the Marianne Williamson quote
posted on my bulletin board beside the computer. I look at it probably once a day. I just feel it is so powerful for people to realize how fabulous they are.

Thank you all for being on this journey with me. You enrich my life and I love the companionship I find here.

6. The simplest thing to learn, the hardest to remember
I wonder--is it because of millennia of conditioning that we are "lower than dirt"? Humility was in fashion for so long...

Come to think of it, that was one bugaboo I had about the Catholic mass--that every week everyone had to say "Lord I am not worthy to receive you..." :grr: Add that Christians (and people of other faiths of course) are taught to bow their heads when praying (another sign of humility), and it just turned me right off. (In fact, whenever I have to go to church nowadays--weddings and funerals mostly--and the priest says "Let us pray", and the congregation bows their heads, I always, ALWAYS tilt my face up to the heavens. :evilgrin:)

7. I bow my head only in humility at the wonder
of the universe. That part about being not worthy is just bullshit that is meant to keep people in thrall to organized religion.


At this point in my life I know that I deserve to stand in the sun and have it shine down on me. Does that mean that everything runs perfectly smoothly? Of course not. The saying that the sun and rain comes to everyone is true. It's what you make of it that makes a difference. Will you continue to grow? Of course we need both sun and rain to grow.

8. The sharp division of "good" and "bad"
Whenever it rains (literal rain), my mother complains LOUDLY about the awful weather, as if the rain served no purpose and was evil for daring to fall. We all tend to do that in some way--damn what we don't prefer, literal rain and unfortunate circumstances alike. Such a division of "good" and "bad"--everything that's a challenge or even merely not to our liking we label "bad" instead of recognizing its role in the balance of things.

9. Me too!!
Always have! (unless I happen to be crying) Nothing like a good cry to cleanse the soul.

10. What Karen Bishop has posted about "Co-Creation" is very, very true.
I wonder when "most people" will come to notice that manifestation is real, and active.
