WHATCHA GOT IN YOUR HEAD YOU MAKE IN YOUR WORLD

By contributor Mike Gallagher

I was having trouble understanding all this “if you think it, you create it”. No matter how the other guys at Psychic-Magic explained it, I just couldn’t get it. Then I saw the movie Sphere on TV and got it.

The movie isn’t great, and the P-M staff tells me the book is better. Basically, Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone, Samuel L. Jackson, Peter Coyote and a couple other guys are scientists investigating a mysterious sphere at the bottom of the ocean. Weird things start happening, and an “entity” they call Jerry starts communicating with them via their communications system.

The part that made me suddenly get the whole think it/create it concept was when Sharon Stone explains to Dustin Hoffman that each person manifested his/her own fears. Samuel L. Jackson was afraid of squid, but he was reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and suddenly Dustin, Sharon and the rest are fighting off a giant squid. In effect, Jackson’s character was reading the book and manifested what he found in its pages. Hoffman’s character is afraid of snakes, so he manifested sea snakes. Another character hated jellyfish and suddenly they’re attacked by jellyfish. What they thought about—what they focused on—was what they created. And it was real. The squid was real. It attacked their station. Hoffman’s character says, in effect, “What we saw, what we felt, is what we manifested.”

What made the things manifest was the intensity of the emotion of the person. The more powerful their fear, the more “real” the manifestation.

When Harry tries to use the death curse in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Belatrix says it didn’t work because he didn’t have enough intensity (feeling) behind the curse. He has to really mean it. So intensity is important.

I thought I’d share this with others who might also be having the trouble I was. Watch Sphere. It’s not great, but it offers a great illustration of how intense thoughts make things happen.
