E-Squared: Nine Do-It-Yourself Energy Experiments That Prove Your Thoughts Create Your Reality Read Online Free PDF Page A

our brains get set up pretty early. When we’re born, every possibility exists. Let’s take language, for example. Within every newborn is the ability to pronounce every sound in every single language. The potential is there for the r rolling of the Spanish language. It’s also there for those guttural German diphthongs.
    But very early on, our brains lay down neural pathways that mesh with the sounds we hear every day, eliminating other sounds from other languages.
    With the possible exception of Barbara Walters, pretty much everyone who speaks English can pronounce the following phrase: “Rolling Rock really rouses Roland Ratinsky.” But when people from China try to learn English, they no longer have the neural pathways to properly say their r ’s, so that’s why “fried rice” becomes “flied lice.” Just so no one thinks I’m ethnocentric, I should probably add that I’ve tried pronouncing some of those guttural German words only to discover that my German neural pathways have been shot to hell and back.
    Perhaps the best example of how your mind creates its own virtual-reality game is the everyday, garden-variety dream. When Morley Safer showed up on your doorstep last night asking all those embarrassing questions, it seemed pretty darn real. But once the alarm clock went off, Morley and that virtual 60 Minutes interview popped like the flimsy soap bubble it was.
    Our neural pathways establish reruns of what has gone on before. Like the three-year-old who insists on watching The Little Mermaid over and over and over again, we cling to our warped illusions with a tenacious grip. Get your bloody hands off my illusion! Even though it makes us miserable, we prefer to place our faith in the disaster we have made.
    We Observe Things into Form
    “It takes zero faith. What it takes is imagination. … If it’s clear in your thought, it is even this moment barreling down on you like a Mack truck.”
    —R ICHARD B ACH, AUTHOR OF I LLUSIONS
AND OTHER METAPHYSICAL NOVELS
    If you ask me, learning how to transform energy is so important it should be taught along with reading, writing, and arithmetic. And it all starts with intent, the force that lies behind everything. It’s the energy, the fuel, the electric charge that sets up a resonant field and sends out probability waves into the FP. Esther Hicks, who facilitates the Abraham-Hicks material, calls it “launching a rocket of desire.” Giving it attention adds mass.
    The minute you make an intention, you create it. It’s instantaneous. It exists as an actual thing. You don’t see it yet because you’re still operating from linear time. You’re still sold on the old-school adage “creating things takes time.” So you keep working and waiting. You keep following the seven steps from the latest self-help book.
    But here’s what physicists tell us. Things, in the quantum world, do not happen in steps. They happen immediately.
    So the thing you intend, the minute you intend it, exists, but like Schrödinger’s cat, a famous thought experiment devised in 1935 by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, you’re only aware of the reality you choose to observe. The physical manifestation remains enfolded outside your current consciousness.
    Cutting-edge physicists tells us life is multidimensional. But most of us are stuck in our one-dimensional physical reality, restricted to what we experience with our five senses. What we experience with these alleged foolproof tools of observation are nothing but what we decide to look for. It’s not even a chicken-or-egg question. What we see, experience, and feel with our five senses always comes after the decision to see, experience, and feel it.
    I liken consciousness to a giant skyscraper. I may be living on the second floor, but the “thing” I created with my thought is up on the 17th floor. Until I can get to the 17th floor, it appears it’s still missing, that I’m still waiting.
    Another great analogy is a
