Creating your own Reality too far away from Reality

I told you yesterday about the power of your imagination and belief, how you create your own world and how everyone around us does the same. You have every possibility that your fantasy can give you but there is a very big danger to this: you have to stick to certain limits that reality gives you, otherwise you can get hurt, ill and in mental conflicts.

Unfortunately I have seen this happen with people in both, religion and the esoteric scene. They create their own world but with imaginations that don’t stick to the laws of physics. They are flying in the air, often unaware that their belief cannot be real, is proven to be wrong. They get lost in their world, even claiming that things which everyone accepts as proven facts are actually wrong.

That is where it becomes dangerous. It doesn’t hurt anybody if you believe in a soul, in energy, in angels. It can be good for you, you can take willpower and strength from this belief. It can even help you overcome certain physical problems. You just need to take care not to take this too far. Yes, meditation, visualization and positivity or prayers may help you to deal better with pain or a headache for example but when you break your bone, you will need to go to a doctor, there is no way around it.

I know that there are nowadays people who perform ‘spiritual surgery’, claiming to do surgery and cutting out pieces of the body without a knife, without even cutting skin. They make these ‘patients’ believe that they are actually curing them, using chicken blood to make dramatic effects. It is dangerous because they won’t go to see a real studied and certified doctor!

A lot of people don’t only get deceived by others but make themselves believe a whole lot of these things. Coupled with a vivid fantasy, they soon have worlds full of fairies, angels and energies. Their worlds are mixtures of fantasy books like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, esoteric texts and lectures they have read and heard and of course religious mythology of various countries! Things are black and white, there are good energies and bad ones, you get sucked out by bad ones that make you ill and all of this is responsible for everything bad in this world.

For some people, this has been the road in mental illness. Their world and the real one, the basic one which we all share with certain physical laws, principles and facts that you cannot avoid, have drifted too far apart! They are only flying in the air and have no connection anymore to what we others call reality. They get paranoid, hearing voices that are not there, seeing dangers where there are none. They get scared of things that are only in their imagination and their own world.

It is dangerous, physically and mentally, to be living so far off in your own imagination, belief and creation that you ignore reality. The reality that others share, not the one that you have created! Please keep that in mind when you try believing in something else, when you decide to put your belief in another imagination. Stay with both feet on the ground, in the real world!
