But that’s precisely my point! We didn’t sail across the atlantic before we changed our beliefs! The sailors that did had to first get rid of their beliefs, otherwise they would have never gone to explore.. That would amount to suicide or the same thing as “jumping from a 20 stories building”. But more importantly, it’s important to realize just how reality works:
If one single computer in a blockchain tries to “modify” the rules of the blockchain or attach a block which doesn’t respect the rules of the other computers, it will be rejected.
If a human jumps off from a 20 stories building and is convinced he can fly, his belief will be “rejected” and he will come crashing down to the ground..
However, if a certain number of computers band together and “update” their hardware so that their collective hashpower increases sharply, they can start to exert influence over reality in a very potent way.
If enough humans “band” together around more powerful “beliefs”, they can force a new reality onto those that don’t believe. Take a person from the 1500s, teleport them to the present, and everything around him/her is “magic”, impossible, dreamlike (or a nightmare).
I know you think I’m crazy. That’s OK. As you say in French “qui vivra verra” (who will live, will see). Just keep your eyes peeled, and your mind open. We are living a very interesting moment in the “history” of humanity.
Imagine if you were a living cell in the body of a fetus, and you had to make “sense” of your reality. You take your measurements inside the womb and take that as your “objective” reality. How would you perceive what happens during birth? Isn’t it very much like going through a “portal” into another “dimension”? I would say so.
My view is the following: we are ourselves like ONE cell in the body of a being we are far from imagining, just like none of our cells can imagine what it is like to be human. And we are about to be born. Keep your eyes peeled and your mind/heart open! There aren’t only charlatans in spirituality. I am no guru. I only share the ideas that I received. In “real life”, I help humanity with very “real” and tangible things, like lobbying for a better and more just financial system. One is absolutely not incompatible with the other, on the contrary, when you manage to merge or reconcile spirituality with the world we are in, it gives everything that you do a much deeper meaning. :-)
