Alice laughed: “There’s no use trying,” she said; “one can’t believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen.
"When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why,sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
From Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass

Believing Is Seeing!
Exploring the Power of Choice
Accepting the idea that 'believing is seeing' is the most liberating feeling. We are not prisoners of the world anymore!
We have the freedom to exercise our power of choice and therefore change our experience. We have the key to our freedom and our happiness.
By choosing to see people, situations and events differently, we create a new and different experience. We can write happy, forgiving stories.
This works not just in the present moment, but also about past events.
There is nothing that cannot be transformed by changing our thoughts, because there is nothing we cannot see differently.
Even the worst moments of our life can be transformed by changing our internal compass from fear to love. When we forgive, we will see things differently.
This path is radical - and goes against the established 'thnking' of the world. But then, there was a time when 'those who knew' were adament the world was flat and if you sailed too far, you'd fall off the edge!
It's time to have the courage to try a new way of 'doing life' here on planet earth! This is one such 'way'.
It is challenging to our 'small self' because it asks us to be accountable, and to step up and take our place in the healing of the planet.
However, it takes us to a happier state of mind where we feel empowered because we have a sense of purpose and meaning. Our relationships become sweeter and we enjoy greater peace of mind.
As the Plains Indians might say: 'It's a good trade!'
