Superstition Doesn't exist until you manifest it into being - How people stab themselves in the foot!

I'll make this short and sweet (look everyone a short hub by Jerrico!!!)

I read a post in our forum this morning/afternoon and responded to it and wanted to make a hub about this instead.

The forum post is here: Are You Superstitious?

Specifically this person was talking about bad luck but this applies to anything superstitious. Superstitions are nothing more than sigils for the mind and as they said in the matrix:

... As neo wakes up from the training program of falling off a 100 story building and landing face down into the sidewalk,

"Morpheus, I thought you said it wasn't real"

"Neo, your mind makes it real"

Neo "So if you die in the matrix do you die here?"

Morpheus "The body cannot survive without the mind"

That is a profound awareness right there that goes far beyond the movies entertainment value. The mind is our best tool and worst enemy if left un checked. Autopilot is where most people live, and thus are at the mercy of their ridiculous "superstitions" or beliefs.

Bad luck doesn't exist dynamically, it is a creation of your mind.

How we generate Bad Luck (and good luck too) and believe it is an externally generated thing (a stimulation if you will) but realistically its not, its our own mind flexing its potential, undisciplined this can be dangerous to us and others.

As you start to notice bad things happening and a number for example starts to "click" as being there several times, you start to associate the number with a series of events. The mind builds a filter that starts to actually CREATE bad luck situations when the number comes around.

Subconsciously your actually well aware of this but consciously we tend to think it's a happenstance because of the number. Realize that we often see subconsciously things way before they reach our conscious mind, i.e. we scan a room and consciously remember about 20% of the room but the rest although still stored in our subconscious memory is not accessed by the focus of the conscious mind.

What happens is we subconsciously "fear" the number 13 as we've built a filter to give the "reactive" mind (source dianetics book) an excuse to run ramped to protect ourselves. In this instance that our subconscious mind sees the 13 (be it 13 like items in a store display shelf, 13 stars on a map, etc..

It doesn't have to be the number just the amount!!! Remember the mind thinks in symbologies, what words, items, perceptively mean not the item itself.) then we subconsciously go into protection mode, which causes us to defend against something that is not really there (the fear/worry of bad luck). If we put as much fear and worry into good luck we'd all be a lot better off! Conversely we tend to give more "faith" in bad luck manifesting than good so there exists the problem!

In doing this we tend to cause more harm than not and generate a self fulfilling prophecy of bad luck simply because we expect/believe it so powerfully. Each day your going about your day your building the script of your belief systems. Dynamically we are changing this but often only if something convinces us that our current "comfortable" belief is wrong.

Each time something happens to reinforce it (even self inflicted but misdirected blame on these events happening "because of" the number 13 or whatever your "bad luck thing is") you are causing yourself more potential problems until you can't even look at a 13 (subconsciously even if you don't see it consciously the event still triggers and you don't realize your protecting yourself from nothing) without causing problems.

The reality is lack of awareness of our own minds processes and our human gullibility, mixed with the reactive mind causes the bad luck but the truth is its not random or linked to the number 13 realistically, its linked to a filter we build over time and reinforce when "coincidences" happen and over a snowball effect of time we solidify the resolve and "define" the bad luck macro-

This is also known in Magick circles as a Sigil- a symbol to link a belief to so that this belief is triggered when you see it, kind of like when your having a bad day at work and your wife whom you love dearly comes through the door with that warm smile that could light a wet match underwater, and all of a sudden you feel excited, happy, energetic, creative, and so for.. she becomes your sigil, or "good luck" "charm".

Ultimately the moral of this hub is: What we focus on and believe becomes our reality. Good Luck and Bad luck, superstitions, there all one and the same- focused beliefs and what we believe we build around and manifest.

We have to realize that we may not realize we have it but we have the magical ability to manifest ANYTHING we want, we've just been deprogrammed over centuries to forget how to use our power, I believe this is a ploy to maintain control over people by the powers that be..

We can't have everyone walking around like the charmed ones now could we? How would they control us and benefit from our loss of personal freedom?

Think... about...it....
