electrictiger70 said:I think we need to emphasize certain points here... it holds true that some of your thoughts or unconscious patterns might eventually lead to an energetic blockage or physical illness because the psyche and the body are not separate. However, saying that simply learning life is dangerous will cause you to contract a specific disease feels like a bit of an overreach to me. I understand your point, but I think you are exaggerating, primarily because the implications of your claim are extreme and parts of the logic don't quite hold up—this whole quantum physics angle isn't that simple. For instance, what about those people who do terrible things and think terrible things every day, yet nothing bad seems to happen to them? That’s where the error lies from the start: what we are discussing isn't just "thoughts," it is unconscious belief patterns. Saying thoughts shape the world is not the same as saying unconscious belief patterns shape the world.
People also resist this idea because it would imply they are responsible for the bad things in their lives, but that shouldn't be viewed that way. First off, they aren't "to blame" and they didn't desire for bad things to occur, but they were—unbeknownst to them—sending out signals that say: I am powerless, and the world is a terrifying and dangerous place.
But one day, when you realize how this works, you realize that from that moment on, you have freedom and choice.
Of course, as you noted, you can try to think positively at a hundred miles an hour, but if deep down you harbor unconscious emotions, beliefs, or childhood traumas, those conscious positive thoughts won't act like a magic wand. However, every single positive thought does bring a slight shift, which leads to new positive thoughts, which brings further shifts.
The real work is on oneself, and that is a lifelong endeavor.
I agree with your line of reasoning, but I would still choose to swap "positive thinking" for the underlying belief patterns behind those thoughts... And that is why this entire psychology of "positive thinking" doesn't work at all; you can hardly address unconscious patterns through conscious positive thinking. It's been tested, and it's ineffective.🤣, the best possible outcome when you find yourself in this position is simply negation.
If we are discussing the process of becoming aware of the underlying belief patterns that drive our thoughts, then we are dealing with an entirely different matter altogether 👍
- I didn't actually mention quantum physics anywhere
-unconscious belief patterns are incredibly powerful, though that doesn't mean conscious thought lacks influence—it’s really just a matter of which areas of your life have blocks and which don't. Where there's no resistance, you can easily "allow" things to happen
-it all comes down to flow versus resistance. There is a powerful life force at play, and then there is resistance (the more resistance you create, the more problems you attract—and that resistance comes from both conscious and unconscious beliefs or feelings, like thinking "nobody loves me," for instance)
-following that logic, any positive thought, feeling, or belief—whether conscious or subconscious—will always carry more weight than a negative one
-positive thinking works, provided you aren't fighting against it by doubting its very power (which creates resistance)
-trying to force positive thinking on someone when their "vibration" is miles away from that state is just unproductive. You're absolutely right there, but that's why you have to take it one step at a time, like climbing a ladder (for example, if you feel sad, the first move might be shifting toward anger, then to frustration, then maybe impatience, then toward a sense of positive expectation, then optimism, then excitement, and finally relaxation... you can't just skip ten steps from sadness straight to pure happiness)
-as for the people who constantly think and act poorly: just because you don't see immediate consequences doesn't mean they aren't happening. They might feel miserable internally, suffer from health issues, live in a constant state of rage, or eventually face justice, much like how Radovan Karr did
In my experience, I don't know a single person who constantly thinks and acts poorly while remaining genuinely happy. That alone is a massive contradiction!
