I’ve touched on some deeper physics of the quantum world and how we create our realities, but I am compelled to distance myself from the the quasi-science however, of this abstract connection between thoughts and reality. The reason is that ultimately we are restricted to the 3rd dimensional world we live in. I have often felt that this bizarre idea of literally creating your reality is something that just isn’t pertinent to the day to operations of life on this planet.
I have the pleasure of hearing an author whom I respect highly speak at an inter-faith environmental movement at a church in downtown Los Angeles. At this event, Bill McKibben spoke about the integral role that religion plays in acting in an environmental manner. I agree.
During the talks, there were references to the “crimes against creation” and local leaders from each religion were present to offer the perspective of their respective faiths and how they have environmentalism built into each religion.
I observed something very interesting. Each religion held true to it’s outwardly perceived image. What is relevant about this observation is that the most truly environmental faith (in my opinion) presented it’s position with the most abstract and disconnected rhetoric available. In fact, every faith leader used language that really, doesn’t mean much in the real world to represent their ideals.
And that is the problem. When we talk about your thoughts creating reality and your ideas manifesting your life, the problem is that most people will drift off into la la land and “hope” or try to “imagine” their beautiful world of goodness and health.
There is an ancient Persian phrase that originated in the Zoroastrian faith (one of the first religions that molded what most modern religions are based on) provides humanity with this simple little instruction guide to the quantum world:
“Pendar Nik , Goftar Nik , Kerdar Nik”
Translated into English this phrase means:
“Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds”
Simple right. It’s not enough to have good thoughts. You have to use good words, and do good deeds. Then you can manifest your reality.
I find it ironic that over the course of only 4000 years we were able to derail ourselves from this fool proof premise. Once again, I refuse to accept that it is human nature to do this.
Some of the images you see in the video above are simply grotesque, yet I argue that every one of those is a result of a human being failing to be a real human being.
To be human is to think. To think is to understand logic. To understand logic is to look at one self and evaluate the possible outcome of one’s behavior or decision making.
In a world with such chaos, it is obvious that we are not thinking. We are not being human.
Once again, it comes back to taking responsibility and being present. What the wise Zoroastrians tried to capture in their 3 sided phrase of divinity. Good Thoughts. Good Words. Good Deeds
This video was sent to me by a friend who is brilliant. But what saddens me is that such a powerful message, and powerful imagery is diluted to prayer and hope. Once again, we live in our heads and refuse to carry on our duty to follow the last two steps of the easy to use instruction manual left behind by our wise elders.
We create with our thoughts, our words, and our deeds.
What if praying and accepting armageddon is what is going to manifest it? Have you ever thought about what you choose to believe and what you are creating by believing it?

I came across an interesting essay on the internet recently. I posted it on Adbusters to see the response by critical thinkers… and much to my surprise, the web site administrator removed it? So much for the web site that advocates culture jamming and free think.
