How To Change Reality?

“It is quite simple to change oneself,” say those who follow this Path.

“Changing the picture of the world” is generally easy, they say inspired by the ideas of Castaneda and the frames of the movie “The Secret”.

“Your film is complete crap, and your esoteric fucks,” say Practitioners who have already broken their teeth on granite of science, as well as people who have eaten a whole dog kennel in visualization practice and got figs with poppy seeds.

Although all of us, including the Practitioners, are fully aware of the fact that our reality is the way we perceive it. In other words, our attitude to it depends on how we interpret the event. Including good - bad characteristics. And slogans like “you cannot change reality, change your attitude to it”, despite the fact that they are already pretty stuck in our teeth, still “work”. For now. Not everyone. True, not completely. They don't change reality, do they? But they could …. Or not?…

To begin with, let's remember, of course, based on our own experience, this is the weight. How easy is it to change your attitude towards an unpleasant situation? Here, let it be pleasant for you after you have been betrayed. You're just (I hate that word!) Reacting wrong.

So, behavioral strategies. I'll try to remember…. Oh yes, of course! You can read an affirmation in your mind for a couple of minutes (or hours), like “all this does not bother me, and I am a big warm sun”, you can visualize a calm warm lake, calm and smooth …

Who would see your face at a time when you imagine a calm, smooth lake, and you are bursting with anger and injustice from the inside! "Big Warm Sun"? Yah? Laughing..! The observer would see not only ripples, but learn how the Black Sea is really raging.

You can sit down in meditation and give up desires, following Gautam Buddha. But this "trying on" other people's clothes on yourself, in no way cancels your burning desire to push the traitor into a tambourine (well, or into the groin), doesn't it? Are we going to deceive ourselves? After all, even the back does not itch yet, the wings do not grow, which means. And if we were able to give up the desire for new things, then all the same, we left ourselves the desire to desire at least "one ice cream and for pens." Well, and a tambourine, of course …

You can do as the science of psychology says: “You react this way because you have weak personality boundaries. Learn to say no and you will be happy. Is it easy to do it? Does this “NO!” Come from the soul every time, or, nevertheless, from the mind?

According to the algorithm, you first need to "catch" yourself at the "crime scene". That is, to track down your “wrong thoughts” or “ineffective reactions”, and only then, while maintaining awareness (oh, this awareness, I also stop loving this word!), Change my attitude to the situation. Well, that is, of course, if it can be kept mindful. Or better to say, the will (Total Control !!!) of the mind over emotions. We are conscious! We act from the center of consciousness! And you have to act as "commanded", and not as you want or habitually. Like? Hard work, actually. As, however, any therapy, and everything in the world …

How can you change your attitude cardiacally? So that new reactions enter, so to speak, "flesh and blood" organically? So as not to lie to yourself and not pretend, wanting to do one thing, doing the second, and getting the third.

Often in therapy, especially in deep therapy, such questions are posed. Like, “there is something in my psyche, some kind of complex. Ancestral, or negative maternal. So he is "to blame" for my reactions. Let's "take it out" and I will behave "effectively", and it will sort of work out by itself.

In fact, such "lordly inquiries" are not far from the truth (not so unreal as to neigh and forget), given the tools of deep, in particular, Jungian, therapists, and this is the analysis of dreams and active imagination. Another thing is that the one who wants to "take out" the complex and interact with it will have to. A specialist psychologist is only a guide for "" into the depths of his psyche. And that's why it is through dreams, more precisely, through the analysis of dreams, that you can radically change your attitude to reality, and, as a consequence, reality itself, I will tell below.

Changing meaning, meaning, and so on, in general, interpretationobjective facts, we change reality, right? For example, if you are abandoned by a young man, and you think that this makes you feel bad, you create a reality where you are a lonely abandoned child. By giving a different interpretation of his act, for example, that he lost you irrevocably, and did not abandon you, you model (create) reality, where you are a fatal beauty, a poet's dream, irresistible in any puddle.

An ambush in the "correctness", "accuracy", "usefulness for us" in the interpretation of any event. How do we usually interpret them? Based on generally accepted concepts. Based on the worldview learned in childhood. Who created this worldview? We will not now look for the “guilty” in this matter, the main thing is that it is NOT you yourself, or, better to say, alone.

We all already live within the framework of a social worldview, a kind of cocktail of professional, social, ethnic discourses. The only place where the Universe is amorphous and does not make any sense at all is the space of our dreams. It is outside the norms of morality, outside of time and outside of space. Out of ratings. Senseless (until they were interpreted) dreams can be endowed (attention!) With any meaning. And only by your personal will, outside the ideological model of society.

Any meaning with a "clear conscience" can only be endowed with the meaningless, since we rethink a meaningful (phenomenon or event) with prejudice. Does anyone take into account the Halo effect?

Let's go back to dreams. Consciously interpreting (but more often unconsciously) your dreams, you give them meaning. Not necessarily "correct", the main thing is that by your personal meaning, unique, and thus "predict" the course of events for yourself. And the ritual of predicting the future for oneself is very difficult to separate from the very act of creating this future. Let's remember “self-fulfilling prophecies” and children “bewitched” by parental curses. It is in the amorphousness and universality of the "sleepy kingdom" that the key is located that allows you to move the worldview system in the direction YOU need.

Any event is such only within the framework of the value worldview system. By changing the "Matrix", for example, by changing the hierarchy of values, we can rethink reality and make it different. Change it by reorganizing the value levels and meanings of individual situations.

After all, everything in the world happens at the same time, there are so many different events, we do not have time to keep track of them. We notice only what is conditioned by the dominants of our perception. And these dominants are often not chosen by ourselves, but, for example, our parents chose them for us.

Having changed the filters of perception, as well as shifting the emphasis from the former dominants, we begin to notice those phenomena that remained outside the framework of the usual worldview, which was limited by the fusion of the discourses we are accustomed to. This is the nature of synchronicity according to K. G. Jung.

We begin to notice things, people, books, buildings and doors that we didn’t notice before. And, therefore, they were not present in our reality. Having adjusted the "filters of perception" and its "dominants", we will notice what corresponds to our Path.

For "sweet" I will add that noticeand build up in this case, the same thing, because what remains outside the frame of our perception does not exist for our consciousness.

Why is it so important not to change the meanings of the already existing paradigm of consciousness, but to give meaning to the meaningless at all (for example, dreams)? The experience of our ancestors teaches us exactly this. It is unlikely that all our ancestors were so stupid, creating treatises and alchemical texts that we are so clever, we can criticize from the height of our … ego (about the "ego" will be later).

However, I will begin to remember this experience not with alchemists, but with Christianity and other religions, which in turn took it from…. well, everything has its time.

Each of us knows about the sacrament of baptism, right? And baptismal font with holy water, about the linen garments of those who were baptized, well, and so on. Almost everyone intuitively understands symbolism and actions and attributes, the main message of which is purification. Water washes away all "sins", white is worn by "candidates", white is "sandida" in Latin, people who wear it are "tabula rasa", a clean sheet. They are ready to be "repainted" or ready to have letters or pictures painted on them. Then, after cleansing, and not right on top of the old "text". What is it about? Could it be that the "blank slate" was endowed with a new meaning? Something, while still meaningless, white?

Another thing is that this paradigm (Christian or other, religious) already has its own Worldview. It is already filled with its own meanings. And a person who has accepted the sacrament of baptism joins this (this very) paradigm, which already exists. If she meets his needs and aspirations - thank Gods, he found his happiness. By accepting it with a pure heart, he can respond within this very discourse, sharing it with his brothers and sisters in Christ. It is the courage to be a Part.

Purification, old clothes, all this refers to a meeting with the primary source, primordial chaos, to contact with Prima matter of ancient alchemists.

K. G. It was not in vain that Jung was engaged in alchemy for 15 years by his own admission. Dream and alchemical realities are very close. Giving meaning to the meaningless. But the creation of the philosopher's stone, which turned "lead" into "gold", also took place in several stages. And, of course, through cleansing. Psychologically, the philosopher's stone is able to turn, more precisely, everything that is not good into good. Isn't this a change in reality? If in gold - then on the physical level, if in good - on the psychological level.

Nigredo, the stage of amorphousness, a mixture of everything with everything (just like in our dreams), passed into the Albedo stage through annihilation, dissolution of matter (or loss of meaning altogether). And through the "peacock's tail", like a palette of colors from which you can choose any color (meaning), it passed into the Rubedo stage. Conclusion of doing (giving a certain, personal meaning). Alchemists did not manage without the stage of purification, annihilation, rejection of the previous form and composition of the "substance".

C. G. Jung believed that in these grimoires are hidden not chemical experiments, but a metaphorical description of the great Work of the philosopher's stone of personal experience, and this information, written on such a dear parchment at that time by respected people of that time (take at least Saint Thomas Aquinas) described the path not of metals and salts, but of the Spirit. Metal soul transformation. Or just Souls?

What does the yoga of the West (Kabbalah), illustrated by the Tarot deck, say about this? I have already mentioned that this deck is an interconnected system of human archetypes and complexes, a kind of "map of the universe" and all the Arcana representing the field of Archetypes are interconnected in it.

Without going into deep details, I will say that the Major Arcana are divided into sevens, between which there is a "vertical" connection, which I will indicate.

The sixth Arcanum, talking about Choice (about giving meaning and choosing reality in our case) is associated with the 13th Arcanum Death, which requires the sacrifice of this choice to give up the "past". After all, making a choice, say, to quit smoking, the smoker "dies" in us. Having brought it (sacrifice), we enter the 20 Arcanum (New Aeon) and begin a "new life". (Arcana 6-13-20, with a difference of + 7). A new Eon means a new life with new health in a new body and so on.

The change of the Paradigm (worldview) occurs in the Arkans 7-14-21. Charioteer (7), a person who has chosen to be not a part, but a Personality, a sovereign, as opposed to the courage to be a Part (when joining any society, perhaps, religious, as mentioned above). His process of the Way, or Doing, must be balanced by Moderation (14 lasso).

As the ancients said: "nothing beyond measure", except that they said "know thyself." It was these two "slogans" that were embossed over the temple of the Delphic Oracle. Thus, instead of vigorous activity, it is necessary to involve Not Doing for the realization of the harmony of the Universe (21 Arcanum).

Refusal from everything, from all meanings, and even from oneself, (surrender to the Force, the practice of Not Doing, annihilation, and so on), balancing one's own efforts, and leads to a change of the Paradigm in the direction you need.

The concept of “changing reality” is now fairly well-known and popularized. Perhaps this is the best defense against profane thoughts that “do not know what you are doing”. At the same time, he really wants to create. And hurry up. Changing reality according to one's will is a common definition of magic. Namely, it (as well as depth psychology) is what people tend to fear.

However, to change, I’m not saying, to change your paradigm, it’s really scary. One has to give up oneself (part of oneself, or all of oneself, entirely) to sacrifice to one's choice. To appear as a “face” of the Self, embodying the fullness of meanings and containing everything that is meaningless. Meeting the Self is in any case a defeat for the ego. However, you have to go through this difficult path. Rebirth comes through annihilation, through the rejection of the ego, which is dear to us, "like a memory."

People are afraid of depth therapy, however, there is nothing more terrifying than yourself. There everything is from the customer's material. Choose an experienced guide.
