Before I get into this, I'd like to explain how my belief system works. I have trouble believing. Just believing in general anything that isn't absurdly obvious. I was born into a religious system (lies) and believed it for 20 years. It was borderline fundamentalism. If I can't put credence into the words of people who raised me, then I won't for people I hardly know. It's almost like a disability, or a psychological disorder. Literally, just last night, I was talking to a pretty blonde girl who I just met. She told me she shot a flame thrower and before I could realize I was being rude I said, "bull****."
I believe what I believe. I believe these things because they repeatedly happen in my life; the sky is blue, water is wet. I investigate the esoteric because I believe in unseen forces. This sounds silly to some people, but not all. To the people that think it sounds silly, I'd say imagine trying to explain radio waves to someone who lived 800 years ago.
"Radio waves? Uh huh, yeah. OK jackass, what's next? The Earth is round?"
--------------------------------------------
My first experience with 'unconventionally explainable energy' was when I was 16 years old. During these years of my life I was on the high school wrestling team. I had a hangnail on the big toe of one of my feet. I had the same problem about a year earlier before this.
It's not too big of a deal. The condition starts small, and exacerbates over the period of (I think) about a week. It's very painful, to the point of not being able to walk on that foot. It is a constant, throbbing tension on the toe. If any pressure at all is applied to the toe it is excruciating. It has to be removed surgically by a doctor. Recovery basically consists of changing a bandage, again, no biggy. There may be a couple stitches involved but I don't remember (10 years ago when I had that 'surgery.')
I didn't want to get this surgery because if I did, I wouldn't be able to wrestle or do anything athletic for quite a while. I vaguely remember what I did. One night, before I went to bed, I googled 'healing meditation' or something of that nature. I layed down and began the meditation. Literally, in under 30 minutes, I healed myself.
Nobody except me and God itself can appreciate this memory I have. I remember that moment. I was laying in bed and it was like switching off the lights, the pain vanished instantaneously. I sat up in my bed, grabbed my toe and was astonished. No pain. I told my mother down to a T what happened. God bless her, she still believes me.
I want to know why that worked. Someone please tell me what happened? I didn't pray to Jesus, I didn't try any herbs or medicines. I vaguely remember a form of imagery meditation, and the pain instantaneously vanishing.
The main reason for posting this is I want yalls opinion about sending positive energy. This thought came about one night when I was wasting time watching youtube. I am a shameless youtube junkie, I love that webpage. I came across one guys youtube account that was horribly entertaining. I can be a sick person, and I find sick things entertaining.
The channel I found was an obese man stuffing his face with food. He was making jokes and laughing, but by his tone I could tell he was/is horribly depressed. I can see through his gimmick. What I tried to do was just think of him, bring about positive emotions and send that 'mood' in his direction.
Does it work that way? How does it work? The Christians are fairly blunt in their practice; name the problem and present it to God, this is how they pray for people.
What do you think? Is any of this real at all? How is it, that a thought can have a profound, physical effect in life?
