Possibilities

File Location: My Words/Completion (What we know)\Achieving Awareness\Methodology\Explore\Objects\Possibilities/Possibilities


There are times when staying in one place will eventually get u somewhere, but if you dont know your chances, then you might as well leave, because chances are the same inside or outside, they are both unknown and to choose you flip a coin.
And it is much healthier to deliberately explore the possibilities, if you have been doing the same thing for a while, having the same lifestyle, then you are most likely manifesting what you already have, and so you are not getting anything new.  If you keep doing the same thing, then you will most likely get the same results.  Of course there are cases in which you are suppose to do the same thing over and over again and keep the same lifestyle in order to achieve great exploration... like hitting a wall for example, you never know what will happen the next time you hit it, it looks like you have no effect on it, for a while you dont even see results, but if you keep doing it, pretty soon it will shatter, after all the invisible weakening.  Now in this ordeal i can think of three cases,
1)      You dont know the effect – you  might as well try something else with unknown possibilities.
2)      You know the effect -  And you can keep pressing on to accomplish goal.
3)      You know the effect – but you decide to explore the unknown possibilities, so that maybe there is (something that changes the possibilities of your effect on the wall) another way to break the wall in order to reach your goal.
Studying these three cases helps you decide, the best route towards exploration, but in conserving time, (which is necessary, when you realize that our time alive is limited)
Now in order to  explore, when you come across a decision, you should ask yourself, “do I aalready know what will happen if...?” if you do know then you shouldnt be choosing it, because then you would not be living anything new.  (and to do this, you just have to always do what you dont expect to do, or do what you DONT feel like doing.)
Example: So why do I decide to get good grades? If i know what it will get me...
If i get bad grades, ill most likely end up poor and not having time to think,
I I get good grades i will be rich,
There seems to be no sense of life here, its only a decision between being comfortable or not, and this really should not matter for its own sake, if anything we must choose to get out of our comfort home, which means to achieve exploration...  So we must look deeper
If i get bad grades it seems that I will be stuck in one lifestyle... maybe
If I get good grades, I have more choice and a broader selection of what lifestyle i am to choose.
and to do this, you just have to always do what you dont expect to do, or do what you DONT feel like doing.  If you want a sandwich, do you know what will happen if you eat it? Do you know what it is like to  get your cravings satisfied?  If you do, then eating that sandwich is unnecessary for life.  Getting used to this will require you to always go against your immediate route.
Now because of the great amount of unknown, we can not say that we can control where possibilities lie, and we cannot declare that, possibilities only exist in certain places or by doing certain actions. 
Now you live in a world where there exists possibilities, it seems like the number of possibilities changes in each setting, but I think that this only appears to be so according to your beliefs and state of mind. The way that your mind works is that you dont have to be conscious of your beliefs in order to act according to them.
Reasons why it may look like possibilitiies are unevenly disbursed.
According to yoour state of mind, your beliefs and your presupposition of what should happen:
1) you may have already accomplished  it but you dont realise it.
2) You have act according to a believe that makes you not WANT to manifest that possibility in such area.  (to prove yourself right, or you think it is morally wrong, or you are just afraid.
3) The opportunities are always there but if you have not taken the time to be ready to accept it when it comes, so you have to see other things being done to make you FEEL like you arre moving to get the hang of things happening and you accepting them.
So it all has to do with if you want it or not, sometimes you think you want it and that you want to savor it and feel it, but you dont want it enough to realize that you already have it, to realize you can get it anywhere, or to accept it when the opportunity actually comes.
It makes me wonder what the nature off desire is?  That, if we want a cookie, but we do not reach for it, does it mean that we do not want it?  I think it may have to do with the fact that we do not treat our imagination the same as our reality, because when we imagine the cookie, we reach for it out of our desire, but when it happens in reality, we are afraid of it, there is something that holds us back from manifesting that desire in reality.  Like people that have rape fantasies, if they were ever really raped, they would be terrified, and so they only want the situation manifested in their imagination.
So when you want something, dont just desire it, dont pretend like you want it when you really dont.  If you have a desire for it, you should ask yourself, do you have a desire to have it... in  real life? if I really had the opportunity to get it, would I reach for it? If it was given to me, in reality, would I accept it?  And this is something that alot of people have a problem with, they spend their time wanting something and complaining because they dont have it, but in the end they are not satisfied or they are terrified of the way reality gives it to them, they want the imaginable version and so they think they want it period, but what they dont think about is that they may not so easily accept the version that reality offers them.  Now this does not mean that reality cannot match the fantasy in their imagination, what is in their imagination can become real, but that really narrows down the possibilities for it. Although one may fantasize, there are certain thing sbout reality that they dont consider in their fantasy. 
Example: a typical girl fantasy
I wish a random guy would come and just start making out with me.
Things this girl had not considered:
If he is random:
He could look like anything, and it should not matter
He may have a disease, and you would still make out with him
He might be your brother.
He may want sex afterwards
He may want sex beforehand
So the problem with people wanting things and fantasizing their desires is that they dont consider all these possibilities that reality offers.  So when you want something, you must ask, what if... what if... what if... would you still want it?  And just try to address as many conditions of reality as possible.
