‘Tis a foregone conclusion
that beyond the world’s illusion
there are stranger things
than we can ever know.
But now we must be fearless
for the gods no longer hear us
’cause it’s our turn now
to run the Show.

Have you noticed exactly when something becomes real to you?
You may be just sailing through the day, head filled with the usual swirl of random thoughts and observations when one of them catches your attention. Perhaps you notice a hint of fatigue. As you begin to concentrate on that, it occurs to you that you seem to feel a bit of a headache coming on. You then remember the clerk at the store yesterday who kept sneezing in your face. The question arises and you answer it without thinking:
“I’m getting sick!”
And then you are.
Notice that you did not feel sick until you pronounced it to be the case. The same is true whether you are getting bored or falling in love. The reality does not manifest until you proclaim it to be so.
“Ridiculous!” you may say. “I don’t have the power to control everything with my mind.”
Whatever you say…
That is how you put limits upon those “powers”. Which is fine if you know what you are doing. The only thing worse than having no power at all is having unlimited power. But keep in mind that telling yourself you have no power makes it so.
The key is to decide what you want and then say it. “In His name we pray”; “So mote it be.”; “Make it so.”
This only works reliably when you are able to completely suspend disbelief. In other (less useful) words, when you have the Stone. However, as with prayer and ritual-magic, practice makes better (if not perfect).
There are as many different realities as there are beings to imagine them. And even within yourself there exist as many different personalities as there are people you relate to. The person your parents know may be quite different from the one your best friend knows.
You can (and do) shape reality to your will. This may sound crazy from your point of view but that is simply because you do not know who “you” are and therefore cannot know what your (true) will is.
For as long as this remains true, you are in serious danger. Why? Because if you are unable to discern and follow your own will, you shall either wander helplessly through your own chaos or follow someone else’s vision and so become imprisoned in an alien reality.
You are gods. Wake up.
