Well, if you knew that people were trying to send you positive vibes, or thinking positive thoughts. then that could well affect your thinking, which could affect the outcome of something you were trying to achieve. But I don't think that is what you mean. I think you talk about whether or not these vibes would exist, independant of you knowing about them. In which case I am skeptical. Do I read you right?
It's an interesting question though. Transcendental Mediation has some interesting views on this. Whereby people trained in meditation can focus their thoughts en masse, and influence political and economic events.
...'the absolute faith,
the absolute hope'...
...the world is all energy - positive, negative, neutral...
when they are in a state of disequilibrium, all goes haywire,
and chaos ensues...
our minds, our thoughts, our actions, are energies...
but different from all other entities in this world, we can control our energies...
...through our will, our will power...
that makes us unique and wonderful...
what makes for an absolute positive energy, positive vibe?
...it's absolute faith - hope without any tinge of doubt...
so sit quietly, my friends, and let go of everything,
and call in the absolute faith, the absolute hope...
and all the positive energies will emerge from within and without you...
and they will be in perfect balance and perfect allignment...
and when that happens even for a moment,
you'll have a glimpse of heaven...
and - you will at the long last, start to understand what this life is all about -
The question all the sages have been asking all throughout the ages...

For sure : Even says so in here.. Luke 17:21 "the kingdom of God is within you."
Rastaman agrees too.

After all these years, it looks like only you and me still are the only ones who understand each other when it comes to these things. Just had this nice allignment few days back and I just wanted to express my feelings about it. Ah ya, there's a part of a verse that has Jesus (or was it Jesusa?) saying that the kingdom is not something that can be found here or there... Few days back , on the History channel, I heard about the long lost 'Gospel of Thomas' which had something like the one you quoted on Luke. It stirred up my curiosity a bit so I might skim thru it when I have time.Quote:

That's because your energy is out of control too, in chaos. But when you feel good, your energy is in good balance as well...
Fear is the opposite of faith. If you have absolute fear, you're probably in a mental assylum. If you have absolutely no hope, you're a goner. So you can imagine what it'll be like if you are in the state of their direct opposite, the absolute faith and hope. I'll lets you think for yourself what it might feel like when you are in the most elusive state of absolute faith and hope (or faithfulness and hopefulness), when your energy is in the 'most perfect' form. Think about it...
Remember Yuri Gellar saying that he influenced the penalty kick between England v Scotland in 1996 where McAllister took the shot but the ball moved slightly and it was saved.
I believe positive thoughts influencing people's own feelings, but one person's positive thought moving a ball, that's another story; I have to see it to believe it. Ya, I remember the ol' telekinetic guy Uri. I think he had a good friend named something like 'Randi' who pestered him big time.;DQuote:

If you surround yourself with positive people who believe in you, offer the right support, give good advice and are generally upbeat then this will surely have a positive effect on you. Not saying that it will make you achieve more but it will give you the confidence to attempt things you would generally be nervous about or give you the ability to believe in your own abilities. You might not achive the desired results but I reckon you will have much more chance.
If you believe in yourself and have the guts to take risks you are doing something positive already. Just having enthusiasm and putting effort in to things you do can create positive vibes. That's how I tend to go about things. Makes me happier in myself too which can only be a positive thing.
Do not believe too much in that Uri Gellar stuff. You have to make things happen for yourself in this world. Sometimes you just won't succeed becuause that's life but then you move on and try again. More positive than wallowing in self pity which is what a lot of people I know do and they have the life to reflect that but they are too busy being miserable to see they can change it. Waste of life.
Big love to everyone.
The thing is Master, the ball would have moved anyway, he got in tune with what could be an added to it; knowing.Quote:

I know cause it happens to me but usually in regards to two things one is lighting and big storms mostly when I travel. I could claim I broke a drought once by being in the exact area at the exact right time and calling it much to the amusement and of course the disbelief of the locals there. I asked them how long since it had rained up there and they said drought for 7 years 'never rains here son' was their response. I said tonight is going to be different and of course they palmed it off and lol'd at me. I love it I was sort of giving thanks for it occurring before it occurred (call it faith or love); my whole system gets very excited by electrical storms. That night you not only could float a canoe down the main street (and we were on top of the highest mountain in Queensland) you could ride dangerous rapids down it and the lightning was going sideways up the road in between the motel I was in and their pub. I didnt hang around the next day for opening hours, but I bet that publican was shocked and wonders how I knew. I can feel it so deep its beyond thought or want.
That makes a lot of sense, huh. There are some people who has that power at the subconscious level - they have it but are not aware of it. The most common examples are some people, at the last minute, getting out of crashing airplanes or buildings. They don't know why, but they usually say they had a sudden urge to get out...Quote:

To develop that kind of sense, the best way is to learn to commune with nature sometimes. Go to places where you find very comfortable, like the woods, seashore, or even on top of a builiding. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and relaxed. Just sit quietly or if you wish walk contemplatively and feel yourself connecting with the environment, the infinite universe behond. Everything should be done without too much effort. Just let the positive energy soak into your body and be energized and inspired. You'll go home more relaxed and vitalized...
You can also read some writings of old Chinese philosophers, or if you're more comfortable with Western writers, read some poems or essays of Thoreau or Emerson, the so-called transcedentalist writer/philosophers of the 1800's. Their works deals a lot about nature, in sort of a way I just described...
I agree if you just stand in the ocean at the end of day it earths you out and discharges all of the stress and adverse energy you picked up around town.
Shamanism is an ancient spiritual discipline. It has been around for thousands of years in many cultures and many times. Sometimes called "Spirit Medicine," Shamanism recognizes the interrelatedness of life...the interconnectedness of plants, animals, people, and Spirit.Quote:

Pre payment at the ticket box of lifes events.
Then time is no longer a lineal thing you need to chase or wait for; it is cyclic then usually through a number of testing situations its up to divine timing to let you know where to be when what you want is going to happen.
That can include giving thanks for any hold ups/tests along the way cause sometimes we need the brakes on in order to arrive at the right time in the right mindset. Bit like death:).

prepare for death
prepare well
throw away your hatreds
throw away your stuff
forget about breakfasts, lunches and dinners
forget about pleasures and pain---
youre about to enter the Unknown Worlds, perhaps insane;
it could be a worm hole, an event horizon, or a storm
or you could have to connect with the Eternal Electron--
you know you have always known it: the Everlasting Pulsating Gyrating Energy
Different , where'd you get that from?
I hear people talking about a positive attitude making a difference in life, but if that isn't who you naturally are then I don't think it is worthwhile. I think it is always better to remain realistic rather than to delude oneself into thinking the world is a happy accident. If anything I probably feed more off of negative energy. Part of me really does get kickstarted when faced with an obstacle. The obstacle typically brings out the fire and in some ways that is really good. By kicking against something you can reignite yourself. For instance, doing really well in my MA was a complete reaction to my lazy BA. It wasn't positive energy that drove me, but the negative energy that had become imbued in me. Years of feeling down on myself told me it wouldn't happen again. I worked hard and it was a painful process, but it was only when I had forced myself through it that I was able to appreciate what I had done and it was negative energy that did it. I wasn't sitting there with writers block saying sunny things to myself, I was sitting there with a cup of tea being harsh on myself and lo and behold, you produce something good. You kick yourself into it.
I'm not saying it works for everyone, but it does for me in a lot of instances. Hard ball behaviour comes from a spark of negativity. It is riskier, but that is gambling. Hippies don't rule countries. Neither do I, but it is people with few or no positive vibes who I would assume take their careers and lives further. Clearly there are also drawbacks to negative attitudes and in some ways I will temper that this year, but never so far as to be positive. A positive attitude is something I find quite corny. To do ones best is enough and the quality should shine through. It's the quality, not positivity.
Positivity is something I always find rather American. The silly shiny teeth, 'the always can do' attitude. It is alien to most English people. English people are dour, but they don't bother with things good vibrations or any of that. I miss two things about my country - the food and the earthy cynicism. An English person knows the world is a bit crap and they say it. 50% of the time an American will say he/she believes in God. That for me says it all about posititivity and negativity. I would much rather be negative and realistic.
That post above might have sounded odd. All I was trying to say is that sometimes adversity and negativity can sometimes be a positive influence. Tyson speaks about his boxing career and how nervous and scared he could be before a fight. Yet those feelings allowed him to channel it all into an awesome career prior to the prison fall. Nobody is thinking positive things going into the ring, or getting ready for a lecture, or chasing someone in a police car, or climbing Everest. You are getting the job done. In real life and situations that are pressurised and in the now, you can't be feeling positive and in many instances it would probably be a detriment to your performance. I think there is a time and place for being positive and having a laugh, but you have to be serious to get the real work done.
Yeah theres different contexts to it all though and not everyone walks the same paths.
Work and achievement takes knowledge and practice until you can operate in the automatic zone impartial to emotion, unless of course thats in the job description like care giving.Thats why the good ones there are very special people.
But if we are talking emotional stability there are two sides to that as well; you have positive people who expect the very best and some get devastated when the worse occurs and others plough on and go even higher. Then you got pessimists who expect the worse all the time and enjoy it too to a degree, because they can get prepared for the worse and if the worse doesnt occur they are more content in normality than some of the people who expect miracles and dont get it. Opposing emotional extremes that still work.
Balance without being taken to one of the opposite extreme points of view is hard for most of us until we realize we are sometimes mirroring in others what we hate in ourselves and sometimes thats an opposite we support by being opposite to it and that can be addictive too. Like people who try to make someone else wrong at any cost; thinking that must make them automatically right. Its dumb and self degrading and addictive to many and the cost is actually theres cause they are stagnant in a point of view behind another point of view. Want creates more want, it doesnt create contentment. The richest man is the one who knows he has enough,because rich or poor, they are free from the constraints of being run by the expectations they've learned and accepted as being real or the truth from other people who also fuck up.
