Experts Are Just Powerful Creators
I have spent literally thousands of dollars on books. If I have a problem or want to do something, the first thing I do is run out and buy a book on how to solve the problem or do what I want to do. If I can’t find a book on what I want to know, I go looking for a person who has experienced what I’m experiencing or knows what I want to know how to do.
In other words, I go looking for an expert. In this respect, I’m pretty normal.
It’s what we all do.
Why do we love magazines? Because they are filled with so much yummy advice.
Why do we love the Internet so much? Because it makes it so easy to find out what other people think about the problem we’re trying to solve or the skill we’re trying to learn.
If you want to buy something, what’s the first thing you do? If you’re like me and many others, you research what you’re thinking of buying; and that research includes finding out what other people think about the thing you want to buy.
If you’re sick, what do you do? See a doctor.
Have a legal problem? See a lawyer.
Plumbing issue? Call a plumber.
All of this is perfectly reasonable.
But it’s also a little misguided … or at the least, very, very limiting.
Why?
It all goes back to “we create our own reality.”
Think about it.
Every single thing that exists in our world came to be because someone focused on it. Someone desired something, thought about it, and aligned with it, and created a way to get it.
Every single thing.
All those scientific experiments that provide PROOF that certain things must be the way they are? They’re just someone’s creation.
Ever wonder why they tell you coffee is bad for you one year and tell you it’s good for you the next? It’s because all those studies they do to tell you what’s good and what’s bad are done by different individuals. Each individual has his or her own take on the subject and his or her own vibrational alignment, and the results in the study are directly impacted by that take and vibration.
Here’s what I’ve come to understand: there are no facts.
Nothing is ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
Everything we take to be true, we take to be true because someone else has taken it to be true and by focusing on that truth has created evidence of it.
If you really take a good look at what’s going on in our world and what has gone on in our past history, you’ll see that this has to be the case. How else do you explain the never ending shifting of so-called facts?
Example: Why are there so many diet books? If a diet was a fact, wouldn’t it work for everyone?
The truth is there are as many ways to lose and gain weight as there are people in our world. It’s all a matter of focus and alignment.
So does that mean we throw out all the books?
Of course not. Experts can give us valuable information, great ideas that can help us create what we want.
I still read reviews before I buy products. I still read books.
But here’s what I’ve learned to do with those reviews and those books. Instead of taking every little bit of advice as “fact,” I read the information the same way I’d look at a grocery store aisle. It’s all real, but do I want everything there? Is it all right for me?
I pick and choose what advice I’ll take. If I don’t like the horror story viewpoint of how something has to be done, I find another way to do it.
For example, I’ve read experts in selling novels say that you absolutely cannot sell a book to a big publisher without an agent. I sold my novel to Bantam without an agent.
I can create whatever I want. I keep repeating this to myself, like a mantra.
Wilber and Orville knew it. Roger Banister knew it. Edison knew it. Just because it hasn’t been done doesn’t mean it can’t be done.
The experts only know what has worked for them. They don’t have all the answers. I refuse to let them tell me what I can and can’t do.
