Thoughts from a Non-Conformist
Years ago I finished high school early. I was only 16 years old. I enrolled into junior college and obviously I was the youngest person in my class. I took extra care NOT to let anyone know my true age.
One day I was in my philosophy class, and we were given that age old question to debate: If a tree fell in the forest and no one was there to hear it, would it still make a sound?
Way back then as a young teen of only 16, I found the question "easy" to answer (at least in my determination). Everyone was split into groups and everyone was bickering back and forth, but pretty much they all came to the same conclusion, which was "of course it would make sound. Just because no one is there to hear it, doesn't mean it wouldn't make sound."
Then enters little non-conforming, and non-mass thinking me. I turned around and said:
I think you are all thinking about all wrong. I don't t think the trees (or anything for that matter) makes "sound." They looked at me like I was crazed. So, I continued: When a tree falls and hits the ground it makes a "vibration." We as humans have things called "ears," and because the way our ear is made it was designed to interpret the fall of a tree, its vibration, as "sound" or "noise" or whatever name you want to give to the audible interpretation of the vibration.
I swear, they looked at me like I had sprouted a 3rd head right there in front of them. They all thought I was "nuts," which on one hand I found extremely amusing in a Philosophy class considering the point of philosophy. On the other hand, even non-conforming me didn't want to make too many waves, since I was so young. I never really had an easy time in school because learning came very easy to me. This is not to brag, it's just a statement of fact. Momentarily when I got out of high school I was thrilled to be going to college because I thought I would FINALLY be with people more at my level intellectually.....then I quickly found out they were all 25, 30, 40 years old and struggling in many cases to learn....and I wasn't struggling and I was only 16. Yes, figured it out pretty quick to keep my mouth shut.
My point is that I was thinking of "vibrations" and how we interpret them over 20 years ago. Now, there are teachings from people or entities like Abraham-Hicks (from Jerry and Esther Hicks). My whole life I have been "fighting" against the Church (in my case the Catholic Church). NOTHING they said "felt right" to me. Nothing rang true to my inner being. `I tried taking the Church out of the picture and read the Bible, that didn't help. The Bible was written, re-written, and words in it have been manipulated through the generations to basically control the masses...even back when it was conceived. So, much of what's in that book, left me so unfulfilled.
Abraham-Hicks and his teachings FINALLY ring true with my inner being. So much of what he says are things I have felt. I highly suggest you read The Law of Attraction Series from Abraham-Hicks, by Esther and Jerry Hicks to learn more. Maybe you too will finally feel like you've been freed from the constraints of whatever belief system you come from.
