    Default Pronoia In Your Life

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    I've mentioned Pronoia before.
    Pronoia is the belief that the whole world is conspiring to shower you with blessings.

    So fess up what Events of Pronoia have occurred in your life today?
    What have you done to promote Pronoia?

    Did you get 10 green lights in a row and then get a red one just when you needed some time to make a quick call?

    Did you make someone's day?

    Did create an event or act of delight?

    "Let me remind you who you really are: You're an immortal freedom fighter in service to divine love. You have temporarily taken on the form of a human being, suffering amnesia about your true origins, in order to liberate all sentient creatures from suffering and help them claim the ecstatic awareness that is their birthright. You will accept nothing less than the miracle of bringing heaven all the way down to earth."

    From the book, Pronoia is the Antidote for Paranoia by Rob Brezsney

    I am confused by this, would it not be considered a "good coincidence" if say there was the "showering of blessings" that someone managed to get 10 green lights in a row and the red when you needed it? And simply a good deed by making someone's day? Is Pronoia simply a synonymous term for having something good happen?

    Pronoia is essentially the opposite of paranoia. If paranoia is the belief that the world or whatever, is conspiring against you to make things difficult.
    The idea is to learn to notice the good things and to enhance them in our lives and some of us do not believe in coincidence.

    And not everyone believes in co-incidences either...And others see everything as scientific, it was timing for instance


    I am on your side there WC.....I needed an office, I needed to start advertising with what? And out of the blue, a nother sole operator called me, we met to discuss just well having coffee and keeping ourselves motivated once a month, and somehow, now, we are co working together in our branding for advertising, our branding of his office and I am sharing his office. NO where did I state to him that I even wanted an office or wanted to share costs in advertising....it just came together somehow perfectly and I made his day as now he is not alone and can grow himself, and have someone at all times at "our office" ....

    There you go
    Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
    It doesn't happen over night
    if truth were to be told.

    Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
    you must believe!

    Interesting topic. I'm sitting here thinking "what did I do yesterday?" and sadly, I can't even remember the little details like you mention. Which means, I NEED to pay more attention, to sit back and see how the things of the world align just right at times, for me!

    We focus so much on negative in life, always looking for things that go wrong.......it's important to sometimes sit back and look for the things that go right. Thanks WC.

    Oh ok so do people then pay no attention to the negatives that happen in day to day life? Kinda like yeah they are there but just treat them as a blip in the day and not something that really needs to be paid attention to? Like some people may treat an unavoidable bad thing in the day as just a common blip, it happened so move on type thing, and others may pretend it never existed in order to notice only the good things?

    Lol me too. I am trying to remember stuff but all I can come up with is I ate strawberries and a kiwi for breakfast. It was the last few strawberries and last kiwi so maybe I could treat that as the world conspiring to let me have them instead of someone else getting to them first lol.

    Can waking up from a night of sexual bliss with your Sweetie be considered? Either that or I had the dream of my lifetime! Either way, she woke me up with kisses on my mouth, neck and chest. So, maybe it wasn't a dream!

    When you start noticing the good, you will notice how often someone get 10 green lights but only notices the one red one.

    WC you sound like a sister spiritualist. I assume you believe in the law of cause and effect? Everything you give out comes back to you. Give out love and peace and it's supposed to come back. (I tried it with money. I gave away a lot and am still waiting for it to be returned) x
