Reality in the Movies

Walt Disney told us long ago that “If you can dream it you can do it.” 

And there is no place where this is truer than at the movies.

In 1985 Back to the Future took us to the dream world of time travel.

In this world there are apparently ongoing and limitless opportunities to dip in and out of an infinite number of simultaneously occurring realities, with the possibility of experiencing the changed reality you create in the future by tinkering with events of the past.  All this is possible simply by climbing into a time machine in the shape of a plutonium powered DeLorean.

In Sliding Doors Gwyneth Paltrow’s character is provided with the opportunity to contrast the parallel realities of two alternativelives, each of which is determined by the outcome of whether or not she manages to catch a train.  This one “crossroads point” has a massive compounded effect upon the ultimate outcome of her life.

Most recently in Source Code a bewildered helicopter pilot is provided with an 8 minute window of opportunity to revisit a specific point in the past (via someone else’s memory) to heroically alter the events of the future.

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you choose to look at it, most of us do not have access to a time travelling DeLorean or the benefit of actually getting to see what the comparative results of catching or missing a train might be.  And science has yet to advance to the point of allowing us to piggy back onto the memories of others for the benefit of a future reality.

If we wish to  change our future reality, gain a vision of what the future holds for us and create heroic contributions to events that are yet to unfold, what we do have is the ability to make conscious choices based on a well thought out plan with a clearly defined aim.

By seeking out and using the principles upon which Your Life Rules is based, we are provided with the opportunity to distill key determining factors from the past into Rules we can use in the future to create the reality of our choosing.

Following these principles provides the opportunity to pre-determine how your life will turn out  based on creating it first in your head through your thoughts and imagination, and then creating and clarifying it on paper , and then thirdly by going out and creating it in reality by following the rules every day, with every decision so that they ultimately guide you to the exact spot where the reality of your creation exists.

You can get a glimpse of alternate realities along the way as you experience and witness occurrence in your life that don’t fit the reality you created but occur as a reminder of the alternatives that await you if you do not pursue the plans, goals and blueprint which you have created for yourself, with persistence, passion and unwavering determination.

This is currently the only way we have to consciously affect our current reality and potential future .  We have our own desire, creativity and most importantly our ability to choose.  Choose wisely.  Every choice is either taking your towards your ultimate, carefully crafted reality or it is taking you towards an unknown reality, one in which our circumstances are ones we may never have chosen.  A reality in which we feel out of control, frustrated and dissatisfied.

Take advantage of this opportunity to make Your Life Rule by creating your reality through conscious choice.

“Each second you can be reborn.  Each second there can be a new beginning.  It is choice.  It is your choice” Clearwater
