New Age Bullshit
If your focus your attention upon that which does not suit you, you get MORE of that which does not suit you.
Is this your intent?
If your intent is to experience that which is BEYOND your present experience, you might consider turning our attention towards that which is BEYOND your present experience.
“This is foolhardy,” you may think. “How am I to turn my attention towards something that I don’t even know about?”
“This is fantasy.”
And indeed it is.
Everything “worthwhile” in your world is imagined before you label it as “real.”
Which is why, if your focus your attention upon that which does not suit you, you get MORE of that which does not suit you.
“So how do I fix my problems?” you ask. “They don’t seem to be going away on their own.”
This merely proves that you are focused upon that which does not suit you. Otherwise, you would not even perceive the problem.
“So you’re saying that if I were standing in the middle of the road and I turned my attention away from the speeding car coming towards me, I would not be hit? That’s just new age bullshit.”
If this is your mindset, you obviously entertain the notion that it is NOT POSSIBLE to turn your attention away from your reality and thus move yourself to a different reality. This is why (in your reality) you perceive a car speeding towards you.
But it is just as possible to move your consciousness AWAY from the street, in which case the car never enters your mind — OR your reality. Perhaps in this version of reality, you are on the beach instead, getting stung by jellyfish.
“This type of thinking is just bullshit,” you say.
And so it is.
But only in YOUR reality.

The Dynamics of Focus and Experience
Our focus acts as a beacon, illuminating the realities that resonate with our attention. By centering our thoughts on that which does not serve us, we inadvertently weave more of its essence into the fabric of our existence. This principle suggests a profound connection between our focus and the nature of our experiences, highlighting the magnetic pull of attention in shaping our world.
Intent as the Navigator of Experience
If our intent is to traverse beyond the confines of our current reality, it beckons us to shift our gaze towards the horizons that lie beyond our immediate perception. This shift, while seemingly counterintuitive, is rooted in the understanding that the boundaries of our reality are not fixed but are instead malleable, shaped by the contours of our focus and intent.
The Challenge of Focusing on the Unknown
The notion of directing our attention towards the unknown may appear as a venture into the realm of fantasy. It confronts us with the paradox of seeking that which is beyond our awareness, questioning how one can aspire towards the undefined. Yet, it is within this ‘fantasy’ that the seeds of new realities are sown, nurtured by the imagination before they bloom into the garden of our perceived reality.
The Genesis of Reality from Imagination
Everything deemed ‘worthwhile’ in our world first takes shape in the crucible of imagination, blurring the lines between the fantastical and the tangible. This genesis of reality underscores the creative power of focus, affirming that our present experiences are but a reflection of where we direct our attention.
Addressing Problems Through Shifted Focus
When faced with persistent problems, the solution often lies not in direct confrontation but in the redirection of our focus. This perspective reveals that problems persist not because they are insurmountable but because our attention gives them form and substance. By shifting our focus, we can alter the narrative, transforming our engagement with these challenges.
The Dilemma of Perceived Danger
The critique that turning away from danger, such as a speeding car, is mere ‘new age bullshit’ underscores a common misunderstanding of the principle. It’s not about ignoring physical reality but about understanding that our conscious focus can lead us to different paths, different outcomes. The speeding car scenario illustrates the limits of applying this principle without discernment, yet it also opens the door to considering how shifting our consciousness can lead to alternate realities.
The Possibility of Shifting Realities
The notion that one can move their consciousness to a different reality, where the threats or challenges of one do not exist in another, is a radical invitation to explore the bounds of our existence. It posits that our realities are not fixed but are instead fluid, shaped by our perceptions, beliefs, and focus.
The Reality of Perspective
Ultimately, the dismissal of this concept as ‘bullshit’ is itself a testament to the power of perspective. What holds true in one reality, borne of a specific focus and belief system, may not apply in another. Our realities are personal canvases, painted with the brushstrokes of our convictions, perceptions, and focus.

Summary
We delve into the interplay between focus, reality, and the potential beyond current experiences—emphasizing the power of attention in shaping our world. Intent guides us to new horizons, while imagination seeds the birth of reality. Addressing challenges through shifted focus offers transformative perspectives, highlighting the fluid nature of existence and the subjective reality of perspective.

A Free-Verse Poem on the Power of Focus and Reality
In the vast expanse of consciousness,
Where thoughts weave the fabric of our reality,
Focus sharpens the loom,
Crafting worlds from the ether of possibility.
With each breath of intention,
New horizons beckon,
Beyond the grasp of the known,
Into the realm of pure potential.
The dance of imagination and reality,
A delicate ballet of creation,
Where the fantastical becomes tangible,
Shaped by the will of our focus.
Problems dissolve under the gaze of redirection,
Challenges transform into pathways,
Leading us to alternate landscapes,
Where dangers of old are but shadows.
In the diversity of our perceptions,
Reality unfolds in multitudes,
A testament to the power within,
To shape, shift, and redefine our existence.
We invite contemplation on the interplay of focus and reality,
