How often will people believe a point of view is the whole truth without knowing all the facts?  Have you ever done this? Would you have the opportunity to change your perspective?

Will people aggressively defend their point of view and refuse to consider that there is a truth much greater than the point of view that they are defending?  Have you ever done this? Would you have the opportunity to change your perspective? Continue reading “What is a point of view opportunity? By Val Green”

Among other things, is imagination a viewing screen for what you believe?

How about the times when you really don’t know what you believe? Is this an opportunity?

When you call what you believe a fact, do you set images in stone? Do you create lenses that can only focus on limited things? Do you create idols to keep your focus on and for you to worship? If you see that you have done this what is your opportunity?

Is it possible that you yourself have become an idol? Have you made what is bound to change into something that you believe is beyond change? What is the opportunity when things change? Continue reading “When it comes to your imagination is it best to expect the unexpected? By Val Green”

Does your imagination follow any instruction that you assign it? What happens when you assign your imagination the job of creating something that scares you to death…so to speak? How about when you ask it to create something fun and meaningful?

“Ok imagination imagine the worst that can happen and make me believe it.  Thank you imagination…I can feel it… Ok now imagination show me how to avoid the worst that can happen.” Some people actually enjoy this. It is called a horror movie. Continue reading “Are you not being held prisoner by one of your perceptions? By Val Green (metaphysical)”

Do you believe that everyone shares the desire to be happy?  What about self-worth…is that something that you believe everyone desires to have?

First question:  What if changing your perspective of someone’s behavior required you to change your perception of yourself? Could you do it?

If someone’s behavior appears to be costing you something, what happens to your behavior? Do you become defensive? Do you internalize their behavior and believe your weakness is costing you? Have you fallen victim and believe you have to play a role that you had no intentions of playing?  Does the role you are playing lead you to believe you have to choose between the lesser of two evils? Does it appear that there is no longer a win-win option available to you?

Could the power of mind, thought, belief and perception be more powerful than you give them credit for? Is it in the mind that with the tools of thought and belief that you have built a self-concept that appears separate from everything else in the Universe? What maintains this appearance if it is in fact just an appearance?  How can something that seems so real be just an appearance?

If you prefer to hang out in a separation identity what else could you see?  To realize something greater than this separation identity, with tools such as quantum physics you could examine yourself and the world and the different forms that energy can become transferred to or configured in. – Or you could take another approach.  Another approach could be a personal self-exploration in allowing yourself to melt into the energy of all things.

What is your relationship to your ideas? Have you ever taken the time to consider this question?

First off, is your idea of you, you, or is the you in this case just an idea? Secondly, when it comes to knowing who you are, what is the source of your ideas? For example: Are your ideas of the table the table? Or is the table, a physical object and your idea of the table something that is metaphysical? Do you recognize two different levels of existence that have become blended as one? If the source of your ideas is metaphysical, what would that imply about you and your source? 

If you could peel back the levels and layers of perception, what would you expect to find at the core, the source? Continue reading “Can questions become the bridge from no-where to here? By Val Green”

In the movie Forest Gump, Forest’s mother shared her favorite metaphor about life with Forest: “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.” Why do you think that on her death bed this metaphor was so important for her to share with Forest?

Perhaps your abilities and your beliefs are also like a box of chocolates – and how you react to what you believe – are your abilities, and what makes all the meaningful differences in your experience. Continue reading “Is there serenity in non-judgment? By Val Green”

When you look to the future hoping to find something to enjoy, where are you trying to arrive there from?  If you are trying to escape from the present moment what does your present moment consist of?  Is it a projected future with little or no hope in it?  Is it a future full of efforts that appear not worth making? Is it from a past filled with guilt or regret for the wrong choices that you believe were made?

But what happens when you allow life to become what it is – could it be a mystery? Could your present moment be full of hope, joy and unlimited possibilities?  Is the present moment in truth full of discoveries to be made? Continue reading “Do you look at life as myth or a mystery? By Val Green”
