If You Could Find A Way

Recently I finished a book by author John Kehoe called “A Vision of Power and Glory”

A really inspiring book and one I will use as a spiritual guide to me for my own path. However it is an earlier book by the author I wish to give some focus to on this blog.

When I first started learning about concepts of mind power and directing our own life more consciously it was the type of concepts and techniques in this book that opened me up to seeing a whole new view of reality.

Before going into a study of this book in my blog I want to back track a bit because the book was created after I first started learning of the concepts of mind powers.

One day in my first year out of school I just started becoming more curious about life and questioning the way most of us people live life by approaching in a way to follow what most other people do because that is just what is the norm. Although we still do them with our own unique mannerisms and quirks of personality in general we grow up, goto the education environments and conditioned to have certain expectations. That curiousity and wonder of life and reality beyond the conditioning is what lead me to attend a course called Mind Powers.

I attended a course of four lectures spread a week apart which taught on concepts of foundational mind powers and the main techniques to harness the power of our free will to choose our own thoughts and direct them to be focussed on things we would like to see happen in our life.

This course was taught by an Australian named Kerry Riley but the orginal founder of that work the course was based on was his friend and associate John Kehoe. The book I am going to be focussing on in my blog for awhile is based on that pioneering work of John Kehoe.

Between the lectures I attended there was home work set to work with techniques and develop mind power skills and use our own daily life to experiment with. It was a great course and really gave me some strong foundational mind powers. Some of them I probably take for granted because they are second nature to me now but there is still much to practice to consider myself a master of my own mind and creating everything I wish to see in my life. Recently I was re-visiting some notes from my last couple of lectures and see there is still much I have not fully integrated into my life. Just stuff I learned once that completely forgetten about.

So this book I am going to focus on now is called “Mind Power Into The 21st Century” and is written by the same pioneer that created the course I attended and developed many of my foundational mind power skills that I still strive to master as a practice.

I’m sure going through this book in this blog will aid my own development further and hopefully what I share is of help to you too.

The first chapter of the book is called “Another View of Reality”. In this chapter John Kehoe sets us up with the idea the nobody wanting to learn to use mind powers needs to fully understand law of physics or how reality manifest itself.

However taking a little time examining the nature of reality can give us help to understand that the mind does play an important role in the reality we experience as our daily lives.

Most people recognise that whether it is solid matter or less visible stuff like electricty and the communication signals that allow our tv’s and mobile phones to work, that there is a fundamental stuff to all these things. That fundamental stuff is Energy.
You don’t need to study quantum physics to recognise this truth. Even the food or drinks we consume and our body functions is energy at work in some way, shape or form. John Kehoe invites us to take another view of reality beyond just our physical senses:

“Reality is fluid. Nothing is fixed. Everything is part of a pattern that is in constant motion; even a rock is a dance of energy. The universe is dynamic and alive and we are in it and of it, dynamic and alive ourselves.”

That notion that we are in it and of it, to me is like a fish being in the ocean and if a fish could think and we could ask it a question what water is , the water would be such deeply embedded nature of the reality for a fish’s world that it would probably not even understand the question. Maybe consciousness for us humans is a little like water is for the reality of a fish.

In our reality of our daily lives do we ever give much wonder to just what our mind and thoughts are? or are they just something so embedded in what we *do* that we don’t even question the very role of our mind, in the nature of our own reality ?

So just what is reality to you ? Is it the material world, the intangibles of situations and events of our relationships ? Are some things more real than others?

For me I tend to think there is much in general day of going about our lives we don’t question fundamental aspects of our world we are living in and of.

In John Kehoe’s book he suggests the very nature of our universe is holographic and even the physical organ of the brain operates in a holographic nature. The concept of a hologram is explained as being “an entity in which “the whole” is contained in each and every one of it’s parts.”

For me when I first heard that concept it resonated as a strong truth to me because everything I think about or detect with my senses has energy patterns. It seems fundamentally true that beyond our senses there is a basis of our reality that forms from energy. That “whole” is contained in each and every one of it’s parts. To me this meant reality of our everyday senses would be silly to be biased thinking that this is in fact reality itself for me. There was so much more… like the invisible things that my usual 5 senses could not detect… our very thoughts and feeling. Surely to me these are just as much a part of reality as the solid material things in my everyday world ?

This is where I begun my journey into pondering on life and what we do each day. Reality to me had a different meaning when I first learnt of our mind powers. It was another view of reality. Everything was not as it seemed….to be continued
