Why Isn't The Belief-Reality Connection Obvious?
The idea that we have the power to control every aspect of
our lives simply by choosing what we believe is a very
seductive concept. However, this seems to fly in the face
of common sense and traditional science. And if it's true,
then why isn't it obvious?
That's certainly a reasonable question to ask. After all,
over the course of time, we've discovered how to do many
different things, including how to harness the power of
the atom for both destruction and electrical power, and how
to create super-complex computer systems that can produce
fantastically realistic special effects in movies and
television commercials.
Although when we sit and think about it, how much of what
we've learned over time was obvious? For example, how obvious
is it to mix flour, oil, eggs, milk, sugar, baking powder,
and cocoa to make a chocolate cake? Maybe we should ask
any of the thousands who have trouble getting it right even
with a recipe.
It has always amazed me to wonder how anyone thought to mix
that combination of ingredients, and to keep trying the many
possible combinations until they produced an edible result.
How many eggs should we put in, one, two, twenty? How much
flour this time, a handful or a pound?
Similarly, how obvious is it to turn grapes into wine? As
I understand it, the fermentation process involves a precise
control of temperature, a mix of different kinds of yeast,
a way to prevent oxygen from getting to the mixture, and then
waiting for 10 to 30 days. And then there's an additional
aging process after that!
Maybe we've been too busy discovering so many different things
that we just haven't come around to discovering the connection
between beliefs and experience.
On the other hand, even though it may not be obvious that
our beliefs directly affect the world around us, there have
been people throughout history who have discovered the truth
and tried to tell us how important our beliefs are. It's
not exactly a new concept, but one that has been around
for thousands of years.

The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it; so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.
