This is a good start from JJ, "This seems to invite the question "Does putting energy into awareness inform us of truth or create it?" If I put enough energy into the awareness that my grandma is actually still alive, can I make that true? Note that I'm talking about putting energy into the awareness of this, not putting energy into believing it."
You wouldn't need to put energy into this statement to make it true. It already is true. I see what you mean, but you're assuming she has died. That is a true assumption, but that is a limiting assumption because that is not the only assumption to be had. It's ignorant to assume she is only dead.
It's difficult to describe something like this. It relates to time. If time does not exist (but it can, if we see it as linear) why would death be the end? There are no endings. So just as the past, present and future are linear; birth, decay and death can be a linear states. However for both time and life they can be nonlinear. That is the point where people struggle. Grandma is dead, but she is also alive, and also in a state of decay.
Nonlinear states are illogical and the human mind requires attunement to hold this AP. It is unnatural for most because society has taught us reality is a linear experience.
Why would society avoid teaching nonlinear thinking? Is it a useless skill or might there be some risk involved? CC thought there was power in seeing in a nonlinear fashion.
