Leo, Has Your Opinion On The Metaphysics Of The Law Of Attraction Changed?

That's right. "Normal" and "paranormal" are just social conventions. What's paranormal for mainstream Western society might be totally normal to an experienced yogi or a shaman in the Amazon rainforest.

Is seeing a demon or an angle paranormal? Most Westerners would say Yes! Because what "paranormal" really means is: "My paradigm of reality doesn't allow such a phenomena to be possible." But of course, one's paradigm of reality could be wrong.

A smart phone would have been viewed as paranormal by the ancient Greeks, for example. To us, it is normal. If you showed up to a forum in Athens with a smart phone, you would have probably been called a witch, put to trial, and hung.

I would love to have the breakthrough of a lifetime here. I'm wide open to it. I've pursued and allowed for a long time. 

Seen quite a few renowned psychics. I was sold by statements that they could contact the dead and tell me anything. But none of them could tell me my middle name, or a single detail. Not one. They all stear the conversation to trying to tell me the generic feel good things. There's a psychic who I talked to on this forum, Saramarielifecoach, who stated exactly that she could share any info without limitation. Couldn't tell me even one specific minor detail. If she could have, I would gladly pay her $125 an hour fee to have more questions answered. Hell, I would gladly pay her $10,000. I offered. She couldn't do it. Am I stuck in a logic and common sense paradigm? There are organizations who literally offer a million dollars for her to simply show up and do what she claims she does every day. But no one has ever done that. Why not? Seems like common sense to me. I don't see how the pertinent factor is my paradigm. It seems that she claims I'm in a paradigm that she's not in, but then when a simple offer is made for her, she comes up with nothing and moves on to the portion of the population who is easily fooled by the generic feel good messages. 

If I lived in a rainforest and did psychaldelics I bet I'd have some tripped out experiences too. But I'd have the sense to decipher what I saw on drugs, vs what I see sober. Similarly, I had learned enough psychology to have made the call that Ted Haggard was obviously homosexual, before he finally confessed that he was. For all his angels & demons speaking, it was very obvious to me what he was dealing with and why he was projecting his issues onto others. There are many examples of Ted Haggards, and not one example to the contrary.

A smart phone would have been unexplainable by ancient Greeks. But that would be because there were no smart phones in that time. It's not paranormal or unexplainable, it literally didn't happen. For a scenario to have the opportunity to be unexplainable, it must happen first, that gives us the opportunity to then discuss if it is explainable or not. What am I missing here? This seems like common sense.

At the end of the day, isn't telling someone that I've seen angels & demons, but that they can't see them because of their paradigm, really just my ego fooling me into a superiority perspective? Wouldn't I obviously be the one who stands to gain by letting go of my paradigm?

Don't worry y'all, fairy spotting is a talent reserved for the very young, the very old, and dogs.  You'll get it back some day.  Here are just a few quick examples of things that you forgot are incredible: being born, breathing, love, there are many cases of freak survival, actual super powers, etc.  

A personal story:  When I was 6, I was on a hike with my family and there were butterflies everywhere.  I said I wanted to catch one, and my family was irritated and wanted to move on.  I was stubborn, so I stuck my finger right out in the air and immediately, a butterfly landed.  My family was stunned.  Was this pure happenstance?  Was this because my little brain was still unencumbered by limiting beliefs, so I could recognize my intuition of the possibility of this happening?  Both.  You might ask what this has to do with adults using LoA to manifest money and what not, so, take this very dramatic example and set it in your brain next time a limiting belief comes up. I have more stories, but I will save them for myself for now.

@MissMiki That's a beautiful story. You explained it well. I get that what it means to you is that you have metaphysical powers. Can you see that another version of the story is that a butterfly landed on a finger? It's not the being born, breathing, etc. It's a butterfly landed on a finger. I find that both beautiful and easily explainable. We have a lilac bush in our yard, my kids and I hold our fingers out and butterfly's land on them, It's beautiful. 

Implying that I've 'forgot' those things are incredible is an ego protection reaction. I completely find those things to be incredible. 

what limiting belief are you referring to?

The frustration / ego protection, usually starts where one's ability to articulate one's accusations ends. 

Also, I'm interested, are you stating that you have personally observed fairies? Or do you mean that you are experiencing that magic of the world?

I have slowed down enough in hard times to notice dancing dust motes, and been reminded of peace.  I have happened across a Brian Froud book at a second hand store.  I can pull off a pretty good Irish accent, and even sing a song in Gaelic.  I have climbed Bishop's Castle twice.  I can look deep into someone elses eyes and by this simple act make them giggle.  I have listened to the birds sing in spring.  I have walked past the Jorge Marin statues in town 100 times.

All of this because I choose to.

I busted through a limiting belief last night at the open mic.  I thought I had nothing to say and that noone cared.  I told the audience of my affirmations.  I shared the story of Marcus Garvey (a notorious self-advocate).  Many people complimented me very colorfully after the show.
