I tend to believe that all things are possible. Sometimes this leads me into unusual territory in life. I am open to much more that happens, but at the same time it sometimes causes fear and paranoia.
For instance I tend to believe that any device that can receive input, like a television, radio, phone, or computer can also broadcast when unintended. I have not found definitive proof that this happens, but I often wonder about it. Maybe it is one of the reasons I am not fond of television or radio. I believe the things can even function when turned off, hence I do not like televisions in bedrooms. What better way for an intrusive government to monitor people than with appliances the average person takes for granted. This is one reason I am concerned about privacy law. If "they" are collecting information in this way, I want to be sure the information is protected. Not everyone should have access to all that goes on in a person’s home. This should be privileged information. Sound too far fetched? Just think how ubiquitous such things are in twenty first century life. We are surrounded by objects that receive and transmit information, like our computers, cell phones, and other data receptors. People can and do obviously use these devices for nefarious purposes. Who can say for sure whether their personal actions are monitored. I know I am paranoid, but it still makes me wonder. I have spent a little time around people who were in surveillance and these people said some things that really made me think.
I tend to believe that the power of the human mind is so vastly underestimated that we have no real idea of what we can actually accomplish. I think we effect things in ways that we cannot even comprehend. Without conscious intention I believe we influence space, time, and everything around us. I believe by harnessing the latent power in our minds that we can and do create reality as we know it, and that to each of us reality is a little different. This personal consciousness we have is amazing and unique. We know a great deal more than we are consciously aware. Our minds take in everything even though we are not "mindful" of all of it. This is why the habit of mindfulness always seems to lead us to deeper understanding and a feeling of more connectedness with whatever we judge the ultimate of experience is. This is also why meditation and prayer bring us peace, and a sense of belonging. We reach beyond ourselves and feel our oneness with all that is life.
Mmm… there are other things, but I think I will leave some for another time.
Have a good Saturday!
Always,
