Hey, my happy shiny puppy!
This is Melody Fletcher, Author of Deliberate Receiving: Finally the Universe makes some
freakin' sense!
And that book, just as a reminder, is still on sale for the month of May.
The Kindle version is on sale for $2.99 on Amazon.com.
May 2017 if you're watching this WAY in the future.
So, if you haven't picked up your copy, now would be a real good chance to do that.
Ok.
So, today I want to talk about something that happened to me a few weeks ago.
I was watching this show on Netflix called Brain Games which you may or may not have
heard of.
If you're not in the United States you may not be able to access it on Netflix, if you
have Netflix's at all.
I know the licensing laws are kind of screwy.
But if you're in the United States you'll have access to it.
And it's this one little show; I like it!
Where, you know, 20 minute little show that, that… where they play games for you for
your brain.
It's called Brain Games, right?
And they have this little game on there that I thought was really, really great at demonstrating
a phenomenon that isn't going to be scientifically accurate but I'm going to use it as a metaphor
anyway.
And so, if there's any, you know, Neurologists out there, or you know, (laughing) people
studying the brain, do not write me letters saying "This was not biologically accurate;
that's not how the brain works."
I know!
And I'll explain in a second.
Ok; but I'm still going to use it as a metaphor!
So, the game was this.
It was this, you know, the screen was filled with, I don't know, football field and there
were 4 footballs, one in each corner.
American footballs, those little egg shaped things and you're supposed to stare at one.
And as you stare at one, the others start to blink in and out of existence and sort
of disappear, and they disappear from your vision.
So, your vision is, or more accurately, your brain is actually filtering them out.
And if you shift your gaze just a little bit, they're still there.
You can see them but as you stare at one, they disappear again.
And I forget what this phenomenon is called because I'm not a Neurologist and I don't
care because I'm not actually talking about the biological thing that's happening in the
brain.
But I thought it was a perfect mechanism to kind of show how we selectively filter reality.
This isn't entirely the same biological or neurological mechanism but it...
I think it helps me explain that.
So essentially, if you think of reality like one big Smorgasbord, where everything is available,
it's all there.
All the data, all the different manifestations, all the different realities, they're all there.
And as you focus in on one, everything else disappears.
Yeah?
And in fact, you can't perceive all of them at once; you can only really ever perceive
one at a time as a human being.
Where as you can be peripherally aware of the footballs on the screen, realities don't
quite work like that.
You can be peripherally aware of them but you can only experience one at a time.
And so, as you experience one reality, the other ones become inaccessible.
But as you shift your focus to a different reality that one becomes accessible and the
other one just disappears.
And so, you know, when you're going through life and you're like, "I want..." oh let's
use the most common one that I get...
"I really want a boyfriend; I really want a husband, I really want to meet a man, I
really want to meet a woman."
And then we start to work on, you know, quality, a quality partner.
Somebody with all the qualities that you actually want.
It's just going to make your heart open up and make your groin light up.
And, (Laughing) all of that!
A lot of the time, the piece of resistance that comes up there is "But I've never met
anybody like that; you know.
I don't know where those men hang out; I've never met one.
I don't know where those women, you know, where I'd find a woman like that.
I don't know where I would find a partner like that.
I don't even... none of my friends are dating anybody like that.
Do people like that even exist?"
And to that I've got to say "Of course they do."
In fact they're even all around you; you are just filtering them out, yeah?
And so, try these kinds of optical illusions.
I love stuff like that, because I think it's so great at showing us there could be more
going on than we are perceiving.
And like I said, even though neurologically speaking it's not entirely the same mechanism,
it helps us to sort of see that phenomenon going on because we're not talking about visual
stimulation; we're talking about different realities.
So, it's bigger than that.
Yeah?
So, it's likes flexing your toe muscle versus doing a long jump.
But, it's, you know, I think it's a really apt metaphor.
So... oh my gosh; you know what?
What do I want to know from you?
Gosh, we've got to keep the conversation going!
What do I want to know from you?
I nearly forgot!!
(Laughing) I was about to say goodbye!
Well, I want to know, have you had experiences where something appeared for you in your reality,
where options that were not available to you before, they were not accessible to you before,
suddenly became accessible to you?
Like, oh my God, that was there all along!
And it can be anything from car keys, you know, fazing in and out of your reality.
They weren't there; they weren't there, and suddenly there're there.
You looked there; they weren't there but there're there, to job opportunities or people or whatever
that you just didn't really notice?
So, I want to hear your examples.
And I think it's going to be a really great experience for us to share these examples.
So, ok.
That's my video for today.
Until tomorrow; thank you for bringing your light to the world.
Bye.
