Why do you choose to have nightmares? Consciousness is deeper than our thinking mind can directly control.
It takes time to recondition our thoughts on all levels.
But I can say that I have seen smaller changes happen and we are on the verge of making huge breakthroughs on free energy and free markets. Why? Because I changed my view on the world from one where I was going to survive mad max as a farmer to one where wealth was abundant about 3 months prior to starting bitshares.
Had i held to prior beliefs the world would have gone a different direction.
Are you saying that
the world would have gone a different direction or that
the world you are living would have gone a different direction?
I have very optmist beliefs about the future of mankind and technological progress since I am a child. Maybe the fact that you recently have changed your perceptions allowed you to temporarily live in the same fork of the Multiverse than mine.
Or do you think there is no Multiverse, only one Universe, which you are actively shaping (and thereby denying my past and present influence on reality, and even my very existence)?
