CHAPTER TWO
OVERCOMING YOUR ENVIRONMENT
By now, I trust that you’re beginning to accept the idea that the
subjective mind has an effect on the objective world. You might even be
keen to acknowledge that an observer can affect the subatomic world and
influence a specific event, just by collapsing a single electron from a wave
of energy into a particle. At this point you may also believe the scientific
experiments in quantum mechanics I’ve discussed, which prove
consciousness directly controls the tiny world of atoms because those
elements fundamentally are made of consciousness and energy. That’s
quantum physics in action, right?
But perhaps you’re still on the fence about the concept that your mind
has real, measurable effects in your life. You may be asking yourself, How
can my mind influence bigger events in order to change my life? How can I
collapse electrons into a specific event called a new experience that I want
to embrace in some future time? I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re
wondering about your ability to create life-size experiences in the larger
world of reality.
My goal is that you understand, and can see in action, how there might be
a scientific basis for accepting that your thoughts can create your reality.
For the doubter, though, I would like you to entertain the possibility that the
way you think directly affects your life.
Keep Revisiting Familiar Thoughts and Feelings
and You Keep Creating the Same Reality
If you can accept this paradigm as a possibility, then by pure reason, you
would also have to agree that the following is possible: to create something
different from what you’ve grown accustomed to in your personal world,
you have to change the way you routinely think and feel each day.
