The Downfall Of The Empirical Mind

The Rise Of Empirical Mind

The 1600’s brought us the rise of the empirical mind with the Scientific Revolution led by Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon and John Locke, among others. Next, the 1700’s led us into what is termed the Age of Enlightenment. This era of history was led by such people as Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin, Johann Goethe, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Immanuel Kant, Rene Descartes, Antoine Lavoisier, Thomas Hobbes and Baron de Montesquieu.

The above two eras were a general progression from the effects of the Renaissance Era (1300’s to 1600’s). The Renaissance (literally Rebirth) led the Western world out of the stagnation of the Middle Ages. The Scientific Revolution and the Age of Enlightenment were both highlighted by the pursuit of knowledge obtained by means of reason and the evidence of the five senses.

The Scientific Method

In the above noted eras of the 1600’s and 1700’s, a series of events took place marking the emergence of modern science. As a result of developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, anatomy, metallurgy and chemistry, the viewpoint of society moved toward empiricism. Then, in the 1800’s, this viewpoint culminated in the formation of what is known as the scientific method.

The scientific method is an observation-based process. To illustrate, the general structure of the scientific method is: (1) form a general question about something; (2) research the topic; (3) establish a hypothesis (a tentative conclusion using limited information); (4) experiment to gain more data; (5) analyze the data from your experiments; and (6) make a conclusion based on all observations.

In brief, empiricism has become the predominant worldview in today’s world. Empiricism is the conclusion that all knowledge is derived from sense experience. Accordingly, the empirical mind is the idea that everything that mankind knows to be true, comes from logic, experience and observations. If it is unseen, it is untrue.

C’mon, Let’s Be Logical About This

Have you ever heard anyone say, to you “C’mon, let’s be logical about this” or something similar to that? What they are saying to you is that what you are saying or proposing just does not make logical sense. When someone says that, they mean that what you are saying does not match up with the world’s reality. You may hear the words, “face the facts, things just don’t happen that way”.

They are operating in the empirical world. If the eyes do not see it (even with microscopes or telescopes), if the ears do not hear it, if it cannot be felt, then it ain’t there. Human logic is a way of thinking about something that seems correct and reasonable. Accordingly, a logical conclusion is always based on the existence of documentable proven facts.

Right Side – Left Side – Teamwork

The left side (or hemisphere) of your brain handles reading, writing and calculations. It is usually referred to as the logical side of the brain. Language, logic, critical thinking, numbers, reasoning all emanate from the left side of your brain.

Conversely, the right side (or hemisphere) of your brain deals more in images and processes in an intuitive manner. Some of the abilities of the right side are: imagination, expressing of emotions, intuition and creative arts.

Today neuroscientists know that the two sides of the brain work together to perform a wide variety of tasks. The two hemispheres communicate with each other through a structure called the corpus callosum. Each hemisphere has its unique specialties. Nevertheless, they have an intimate and collaborative working relationship with each other. And so it is in the world of manifesting. Your vision and your imaginative belief work together to manifest your desire.

A Truly Remarkable Woman

One of the most remarkable human beings of the twentieth century was the woman named Helen Keller. She lived from 1880 to 1962. Keller was an American author as well as a tireless advocate for those afflicted with blindness. In addition, she was a political activist and a well-travelled lecturer.

At 19 months of age, she contracted an unknown illness, possibly meningitis. This illness left Keller blind, deaf and unable to speak. The trifecta of tragedy. As a last chance before institutionalizing her, her parents hired a woman named Anne Sullivan to be her personal one-on-one instructor.

To make a long story short, under Sullivan’s tutelage, Keller would go on to successfully deal in a magnificent way with what life dealt her. She was the first person with combination blindness and deafness to earn a college degree from Radcliffe College of Harvard University in 1904. Furthermore, she wrote 14 books as well as numerous magazine articles. Along the way, Keller learned how to speak She was a prolific lecturer, travelling to 35 countries during the course of her life.

Helen Keller Was Blind – Her Vision Was Great

Helen Keller was blind but she had great vision. Inner vision. She understood that the Kingdom of God was within. Here are her words. “I know life is given to us so that we may grow in love. I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the color and fragrance of the flower, the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence”.

Jesus Christ clearly stated, “the Kingdom of God is within”. Helen Keller understood. She got it. Living within the Kingdom of God, she understood the words of Martin Luther King Jr. “love is the greatest force in the universe. It is the heartbeat of the moral cosmos. He who loves is a participant in the being of God”.

The Downfall Of The Empirical Mind

Your empirical mind looks at known causes and effects. Then it makes logical conclusions for the outcome of your action. Thus, it is a wonderful way to eliminate superstition, uncertainty or fear about an outcome. The “because it has always been done this way” argument for an action becomes obsolete. The “because fearless leader says to do it that way” becomes invalid if you know through empiricism that it is wrong. Logical empiricism is a beautiful thing. It has allowed the world to rid itself of many different “chains around the brain”. With that said however, the ultimate downfall of the empirical mind is its neglect of the spiritual underbelly of reality – imaginative belief. Faith.

The Courage To Go Beyond Logic

Conscious manifesting throughout your life has two distinct parts. First, in conscious manifesting, you have the prayer. It is the technique or method that you employ to manifest your desire. All the practical manifesting techniques that I have offered you in various articles in this blog are simply different forms of prayer.

Next, the second part in conscious manifesting, is the belief part. It is the illogical, nonempirical part. Develop a mindset of believing that your desire is real right now. It is called “living in the end”. What you wish to manifest is not in your future, but is with you right now. That part is the really hard part. To proceed beyond logic, beyond the empirical mind, takes courage. That is active faith. It is using the power of the Kingdom of God. It is what the Bible talks about when it calls faith the evidence of things unseen.

The Power Marriage

To empirically engage in a logical progression of actions is how you usually go about attempting to satisfy your desires. Conversely, prayer usually winds up being a begging or pleading with God to bring the specific desire to you. Consequently, this begging type of praying only serves to magnify the feeling within you that you do not already have what you desire.

Many solely use the empirical mind (the brain’s left hemisphere) to attempt to manifest their desires. It is a way of manifesting that is fraught with problems. You are attempting to break through a wall using your head as a battering ram. You may get through but boy, will your head hurt. Use the imagination part of your mind to formulate a crystal clear image of what you desire. Then preside over the ultimate power marriage. Marry your clear vision to the power of your faith – the power of imaginative belief. Live in the end.

Ask. Seek. Knock.

So how the hell do you get belief? How in the “real world” do you get faith when your problems are right in your face? As always, the answer is in the Bible. Ask. Seek. Knock. Then expect. Live in the end. Expect what you ask for to be revealed to you. Be alert when it is. Trust that what you seek will be shown to you. Be observant when it is. Finally, when the door of opportunity is opened for you, step on in.

Live within the Kingdom of God by practicing the Presence of God. Do this regardless of any and all outer negative circumstances. Circumstances do not matter, only state of being matters. Within this blog I have already posted a number of articles for you suggesting how to do this. Scroll to the search box. Enter the search term “Presence of God”. Can practicing the Presence of God be hard to do? Yes. Will it be rewarding to you? Very much Yes. You were created by God to consciously manifest. What are you waiting for?

Conceive. Believe. Receive.

The Magic Phone Call That Changes Your Life

A Fond Memory

Are you old enough to remember when house phones looked like this and all households had just one phone? Rotary dial. Basic black. The coil phone line connecting the phone to the handset. And let me tell you that phone was one heavy piece of equipment. In my house growing up we had the one house phone. It was in the kitchen and it was the type that you hung on the wall. The type you see in the image above, is almost an exact duplicate of the house phone that my grandparents had. Whenever my brother and I got to visit, I remember hearing the bell sound when the phone rung and then Grandpop or Grandmom walking into the living room to answer the phone. The phone had its own little table next to a living room easy chair. Grandmom even had a lace doily underneath the phone. Built into the small table was a little shelf under the phone where the telephone directory (aka the phone book) was kept. Sometimes the caller would be from “the old neighborhood” and the conversation would be in Polish. Whenever I see a picture of a phone like this, it brings forth a fond memory of my beloved grandparents. Duplicating an episode from the television series The Twilight Zone, if I ever purchased a phone like they had in an antique store, I would half expect to get a phone call on it from my grandparents from The Great Beyond.

How To Do It

The twentieth century author, lecturer and mystic, Neville Goddard, popularized a technique for manifesting an outcome in your life reality that is known simply as “the phone call technique”. It is a technique that is simple to understand, extremely easy to implement, can be done by absolutely anyone, and is a fun way to use your God-given Imagination. With that said, here is how you go about using the telephone call technique to consciously manifest something.

First, you must be crystal clear as to what it is that you desire to manifest. Vague outcomes are the result of blurry desires. Refrain from trying to manifest eighteen different desires with one phone call. Keep it at one or possibly two clear cut manifesting outcomes. For example, you can go for a manifestation of receiving a sum of money which then allows you to find the suitable lodging that you are longing for. You can also use the phone call technique for intercession – manifesting something for a loved one. Just remember to keep it focused on one or two clear desires. Refrain from trying to “conquer the world” with one phone call.

Second, decide who will be the person on the other end of the phone call. Perhaps the phone will be on speaker and there will be more than one person on the other end. It’s your call, you decide. Make every effort to choose someone with whom you can be completely free to let your emotions be expressed full force.

Third, construct the content of the phone call. Choose all the words you would be saying and how you would be saying them. Write every word of the phone conversation down on paper, preferably a spiral bound notebook. Take your time with this part and refrain from rushing it. Choose all the words the other person would be saying and how they would be saying them. It is your creation, you decide. One example would be you calling that person with pure excitement to inform him that you have received in full your desired manifestation. Hear that person being truly happy for you. Feel how thankful you are for what you have received. And so on. It’s your call, you decide. If your manifestation desire was an intercession manifestation on someone’s behalf who needed help, you can have the phone call being from that person to you telling you all about it. You can hear the excitement and happiness in their voice. You can feel your true happiness for their success. And so on.

Fourth, use your emotions, your feelings, to the max. The word construct of the phone call that you created in your mind is the spaceship. Your inner feeling that you initiate to go along with the words of the phone call is the rocket fuel. Together they will propel your spaceship to the moon (your manifested desire). It is essential to have both – the rocket ship and the rocket fuel.

When, Where And For How Long

OK, so much for the basics of what to do. Now let’s move on to the when, the where and the for how long of it all.

With regard to when to have your magic phone call during the course of the day, there is really no specific time that is the magic hour. The key to it all is the elimination of distractions and your level of devotion and commitment to being in a relaxed state of mind. You will not get good results with a clenched fist, a clenched heart, or a clenched mind. Relax. Relax. Relax. If morning is best for you, then morning it is. If bedtime is the best time, then bedtime it is. To use the old Nike advertising motto, just do it.

As to where to have your phone call, it is best to find a quiet place without distractions or interruptions. All that you should be hearing is your phone call. If wherever you go in your lodging, there is noise at all times of day and night, there are two alternative possibilities. One is to purchase a set of ear mufflers like the type you see guys wearing on the runway at airports. The other alternative is to find a quiet spot outside of the house. If at all possible, try to have your phone call at the same place or places every day. Again, however, as you did with the when part of it, just do it. All the methods of doing it are simply useless unless you actually do it every day.

That leads us to the “how long” of it all. How long should you continue having the phone call. Continue until you no longer have to continue. Results can arrive in the short term or the long term. Some of it depends on what you are going for and the fullness of your faith. The bigger the prize, the longer to realize. The absolute minimum time period to which you should commit yourself is thirty days. During that thirty day period pay attention to everything that goes on around you. Be alert. If you have raised your energy vibration each day as a result of your phone call, your manifestation “order” has been received and is being acted upon. Refuse to fret over how it will come about. If for example, it is money, keep from outlining where the money came from in your call. Just focus on how it has changed your life and the various ways that you will be using it. If it is improved health, don’t focus on how it came about but zero in on how much better you now feel and all the things you can now do. Just concentrate on the phone call and your accompanying feelings. If the manifestation is really important to you, you will stick with it until results arrive as you go about your daily activities.

A Few Final Thoughts

When Neville Goddard communicated the phone call technique, it was using the technology of the 1950’s. If you want to modify this technique to using texting or live chat or even a video call by all means do it. Just use the same ingredients as would be in play for the phone call. Again, the primary ingredients to this recipe are your vision, the use of your five senses and how you feel as a result of the call. If done correctly, you should be continually raising your energy vibrational frequency every time you do it.

There are a great multitude of ways that humans utilize to escape their reality. Many of these ways have ruinous results for the person employing them. Instead of attempting to escape your reality, always, to the best of your ability, put forth the necessary effort to go in a different direction. Proceed directly to the Kingdom of God to create a better reality, a reality that you run to instead of away from.

Believe. Receive.
