Getting to the root of 'Impossible' Phenomena

There are many types of so-called 'impossible' phenomena. Let's lay them all out and look at what they have in common. What is the root of all these phenomena, and how can the positive effects, such as instantaneous healing, be brought down to a science (aka repeatable, methodical)?  There are more negative phenomena like poltergeist activity, which are not necessarily desirable; but still, we must look at HOW are things able to fly off shelves without being physically touched? The answer to this will reveal how we might be able to control and direct these spiritual-physical phenomena for our gain.

The answer, once again, points to consciousness. What is a poltergeist? If we strip away the spooky stuff, it comes down to a consciousness that exists outside of a physical body that is able to make physical matter respond to their intentions. If we accept that consciousness is a the point of control, we can look deeper into existing systems that work by directing consciousness toward physical change. Let's look at some of these phenomena below:

Yogic siddhis, or supernatural abilities of Indian yogis: Yogis are spiritual people who devote their lives to meditation with the goal of achieving enlightenment. Many yogis go up into the mountains to lead austere lives that are free of earthly distraction. After meditating in solitude for a long time, they gain the ability to do things that appear to violate the laws of physics, such as levitate above ground and materialize objects out of thin air. Some can also live without food and water (be sustained solely by light). These miraculous abilities come about through the yogis' realization that physical life is a delusion, and therefore we can do anything because we are powerful spiritual beings who incarnate to have temporary experiences. We have no limits when we are fully connected to that spiritual self that is within us all. Our minds are not limited by our brains, and consciousness is independent of the body.

Yogis have learned to direct the power of their minds toward an outcome, and provide enough energy through sacred sounds (mantras) to make it come true. So there is another element to consciousness-driven change, and that is the use of sound as energy. Sounds create resonance, which then affects matter. This is why matching an object's resonant frequency can shatter glass or even make bridges crumble. If yogis can achieve these miraculous feats by learning how to direct their consciousness and emit certain frequencies, that points to these abilities being learnable by all humans. Furthermore, the knowledge that all human beings are innately powerful would mean that it's not just about learning, but about knowing. Our current technology could receive an almost instant upgrade if our scientists and inventors would shift their world view into more expansive possibilities. The more we know is possible, the more IS possible.

Ritual Magic: For the purposes of this writing, we are going to accept that deities and spirits exist, and that they are simply consciousnesses that exist independently of physical bodies. In ritual magic systems such as Voodoo or Taoist folk magic, deities and spirits are called upon to manipulate reality toward a specified goal. Deities, spirits, angels and even interdimensional beings are skilled at the art of controlling subtle energies that can make a difference within physical reality. When a Chinese sorceror performs hand mudras with his fingers contorting in specific ways, and moves in a certain sequence while chanting and writing characters, he is calling on discarnate entities to do his bidding. There are certain gestures, syllables, movements, and even thought patterns that summon these consciousnesses. It's not so much symbolic as procedural. In other words, it's not the charms and talismans that hold any power themselves. It was established thousands of years ago that deities will respond to a call for help if a certain series of steps is meticulously followed. Why is this? I don't have the answer to that. But my family knew of a real sorceror in Taiwan who got my mom's cousin out of having to do mandatory Army service. The ritual involved a table levitating and turning in mid-air, which was achieved by spirits, and basically means they heard the call and will do as requested. The cousin never did get called for military service! Maybe his number just didn't come up, or his paperwork got 'lost.' My point here is that a desired result was achieved through the help of discarnate consciousnesses.

Much of the time, these powerful discarnate beings do not need to manipulate physical matter. Often, they work in more subtle ways, like planting ideas or feelings into peoples' minds. It's possible that the spirits who helped my cousin avoid military service got into the administrator's heads and confused them at a specific moment in time, in a way that would jumble the paperwork. They can also direct your attention to certain details in a way that will help you in some way. They can spark a chain of events to make you avoid an event that turns out to be a blessing in disguise. Even when the means are not physical, these ritual magic systems prove that our reality is changeable through consciousness-assisted methods. Afterall, if consciousness is not confined to the body, it follows that a conscious being is free to go anywhere, and have much freer reign of knowledge and control of future events. 

Ouija Boards: Though some people explain away the Ouija board's movement as the ideomotor effect, they are in fact able to serve as a conduit between the living and dead. The planchette of the board is easily movable, it's true. However, (and this is the important part) the intention of the people with their hands on the planchette is being focused together on the aim of communication, is what makes communication possible. This is often repeated in metaphysical texts. Intention is what guides an outcome, and conscious beings who exist outside of bodies are able to respond because your intention opened a bridge for contact.  Once contact is invited, some consciousnesses feel empowered to stay and cause disruption. See, the beings who inhabit the lower astral realm are usually the ones to respond to Ouija board 'calls.' Loved ones who have passed, and higher vibrational beings, are not usually inclined to come through in Ouija sessions. I don't pretend to know why, but this would explain why the vast majority of successful Ouija sessions end up having negative outcomes like poltergeist activity, illness, depression and nightmares. A more honest and sincere approach to 'spirit' contact is ITC (Instrumental Trans-communication), which is the use of technology and intention to speak to ethereal beings. These will usually have much more positive outcomes than Ouija boards. 

The conclusion we can draw from these case examples (and there are lots more where those came from) is that consciousness, combined with intention, drives outcomes. I know many of you are thinking: 'But I'm a conscious being, and I've tried to do lots of things that didn't work out.' There's a bit more to it than intending to do something. The physical world is dense, but it is still not fixed. Physical outcomes require time, skill and patience to change. We are less powerful in our usual waking state than we are when we are in an altered states of consciousness, such as during meditation and hypnosis. Our 'monkey minds' are limited, but our pure consciousnesses are powerful. More on this to come. This article is to set the stage for deeper explorations of how consciousness can control physical matter and events. You need to know it is possible first, before getting into how
