The simple answer would be.. by changing ones beliefs.

If you chose to believe and stay open you reality changes

To consciously create means firstly becoming aware of yourself...then being able to change thoughts and attitudes. Many people still react from unconscious drives/patterns.

However, I still do not believe each of us have 100% control over our lives.

Jerry is the manager of a restaurant in America. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would always reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"

Many of the waiters at his restaurant quit their jobs when he changed jobs; they would follow him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was always there, telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don't get it! No one can be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"

Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, I have two choices today. I can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood. I always choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I always choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I always choose the positive side of life."

"But it's not always that easy," I protested.

"Yes, it is," Jerry said, "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. It's your choice how you live your life."


Several years later, I heard that Jerry accidentally did something you are never supposed to do in the restaurant business: he left the back door of his restaurant open one morning and was robbed by three armed men. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him.

Luckily, Jerry was found quickly and rushed to the hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body. I saw Jerry about six months after the accident.

When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Want to see my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.

"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, after they shot me, as I lay on the floor I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or choose to die. I chose to live."

"Weren't you scared?" I asked.

Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the Emergency Room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed to take action."

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Well, there was a big nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything." 'Yes,' I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Bullets!' Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Please operate on me as if I am alive, not dead'.

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors but also because of his amazing attitude.

I learned from him that everyday you have the choice to either enjoy your life or to hate it. The only thing that is truly yours - that no one can control or take from you - is your attitude, so if you can take care of that, everything else in life becomes much easier.

Hi oneness

I wonder if one creates a reality where one can consciously create.

Hi Dazzle,
You either create consciously or unconsciously, or sub consciously. It depends on your intention.

This reality has an infinite number of possibilities, so it all depends on how you want to create, whatever you want to create. Anything is possible.

There seems to be common ground as they say in regards to one's conscious thoughts creating their reality .. and no doubt on some level this is so .

Sometimes one's reality will reflect one's desires and sometimes not . Reality remains to be for each individual when one is not consciously projecting either .

If one is not consciously aware of projecting their present reality does being consciously aware of such a reality have any president over not being consciously aware of such .

Any further thoughts .

Excellent. Sometimes is an illusion in light of reality explained. I'm seeing the sameness you mention about our common thought of reality. If it is correct then how can we see different things. We do because it is just as was said. I may not like what's said

You project all the time. You said when one is not consciously projecting, the key here is it doesn't come and go. It's not turned off and on, reality is not either, there's no such switch (though science does say reality does blink in and out instantaneously). You're always aware, always projecting. We're talking about the inner reality. Simply, consciousness also includes what we don't see to and what you mention.

I agree oneness that consciousness plays a key role in one's reality whether one is aware of such or not or as to whether one is conscious or not .

What is a wonder is if consciousness creates our reality or our reality has created consciousness so that one is able to create .

In other words how is consciousness created if such a thing for use of a better word ever was .

Since beliefs are in the mind, minimal beliefs would mean minimally creating from the mind... and maximally created from beyond the mind.
