Come to think of it, another theme that MMY has hammered is just this -- we create our own realities. After I posted the remark above that "we manifest *whatever* we believe," I asked myself, what about science? Science does suggest there are natural laws that limit the extent to which I can manipulate creation, even if I can fool myself into believing what science disproves. I may be able to convince myself there's ample evidence for a given worldview, but good science can determine whether my anecdotal evidence is valid. So, two things: actual physical manifestation, and magical thinking. When Dana Sawyer says "precept determines percept," he's suggesting these notions of enlightenment are magical thinking -- constructs of the mind. When you, Vaj, say View determines outcome, you're referring more to a concrete outcome, a real thing, as opposed to a construct of the mind. Yes? ------------------------ Yahoo!
