Cognitive Dissonance

[capezio11]

When I was younger I learned about most of the topics covered by the forums on this site.  It seems that the last 10 years or so I've been asleep.  My thoughts have been with other things, education, career, family, travel.  But recently I have come back to living in the present and connecting to my own intuition and rediscovering much of what I left behind in those ten years.

I bought a compass the other day.  I dreamed about it.  I knew without knowing exactly where to find it.  Not to long after the dream I was buying groceries and went by the place where I thought it would be.  There was an open parking spot in front, a rare occurrence in that location.  I parked, went in and asked for a compass.  They had one.  It was exactly like what I dreamed.  It is old, maybe made mid-century, German made, so likely before WWII.  The case is made of brass.  What is perhaps more interesting is that in my dream I broke the glass cover.  I don't know how, nor did I even see or hear the glass break in my dream.  I just knew it was broken and I did it.  This is where we go into the twilight zone.  The glass on the compass is cracked, but in the strangest way.  The glass has a crack that is parallel to its surface and makes a gentle arch between 178 and 209 degrees.  No pieces have flaked off inside the case, and the crack doesn't pierce the surface on either side of the glass. 

I almost walked out without buying it.  I thought this whole thing is stupid.  The store sells antiques and junk, so the chances of them having an old compass in a town with historic links to maritime trade is pretty high.  Plus it was broken.  For a minute I thought I should just find one that wasn't broken. 

So I bought it anyway and it is sitting on my coffee table.  Now that I have it, I feel like I got away with something, like I stole it.  And now I am obsessed with it, for two reasons, which is why I titled this post cognitive dissonance.

First, I think something is going to happen.  I think the earth changes that are being discussed will happen to a certain degree.  I don't think it will be the end of the world.  I think there will be tough times, but only for a short while and then there will be a Renaissance, a golden age of spiritual rebirth and continued scientific advancement.  But in the mean time, I am concerned about a pole shift.  Shifts of the magnetic pole have happened in the past, that's a fact.  The sun regularly shifts its magnetic pole every 11 years or so.  But I'm talking about a shift of the rotational pole (or whatever the proper term is).  There are a lot of things happening now: Earth's magnetic field weakening, solar output at the lowest in a long time with an expected maximum coming up, galactic alignment, warming of the Earth and the other planets, mass in the form of melt water moving from the current poles, an increase in the harmonic frequency of the Earth and increasingly extreme weather events. 

Second, I also believe the concept of thought is reality.  I believe that by expecting something to happen I am creating that reality for myself.  The penultimate realization of a "Schrodinger's Cat" kind of quantum uncertainty.  By expecting a result, I have created that state of reality, much like a scientist's observation of a quantum state.

But now I have this stupid compass.  Why did I dream about it?  Why did I find it?  Do I believe that it has a purpose?  Does it have a purpose?

If I had walked away without buying it I wouldn't even have ended up here.  Let me tell you where here is.

Here is waiting for that dial to start moving in the next couple years, which will tell me the magnetic pole shift is starting at which point I will drive to the highest mountains I can reach in a few hours and as far away from the coast as possible, all the while trying desperately to convince myself that I'm not crazy.  That is until the actual pole shift happens and the SHTF.

But the flip side is that I can stop that whole train of thought and concentrate on a purely spiritual transition.  I can ignore any fear I have about the future, perhaps not ignore, but transform it somehow.

I believe a spiritual transformation will take place, but I am undecided as to whether it will be a result of physical forces (possibly Earth's harmonic frequency continuing to increase and our brains' harmonic frequency rising to match it) or a result of earth changes that through catastrophe create a higher awareness of ourselves, our place in the universe and our fragility that ultimately brings humanity together.


So this is my cognitive dissonance.  Do I believe my intuition or my ability to create my reality?  Are the two mutually exclusive?  Do I ignore my intuition at my own peril?

I can't be alone in feeling this internal conflict.  Even now, having written this I wonder am I reading this the wrong way, is the materialization of the compass in my life a reassurance that thought is reality?  Like I said I knew where to find it, without really knowing, but I was so certain it was there waiting for me.

I welcome any thoughts on this.  Thanks.

Hello and welcome Capezio 

what a wonderful way with words you have!
that was just like reading the first part of a brilliant novel, a best-seller. You should copyright this post of yours, right now!

I think , possibly, what u are discribing is part of the shift of the new ages.
I can tell u have read a lot and are incredibly intelligent.

Best first post ever, I wish I could write as well as you.

Have u come across this link? It sounds a lot like what u were saying.

I just loved your story, so talented..
Stick with your intuition!!!

I really hope others here will reply because I cannot do justice to your experience.

Love Freedom

Hello beloved ones

Hello Capezio... interesting name you chose, my memory tells me it means 'the strong headed one'..or anyway something to do with your crown chakra...


A compass shows direction.
It points North. Magnetic North, by aligning itself with the magnetic field.
Your compass is broken. Yet you still got it.
Magnetic pole shift ..you know shall happen. Is the compass broken yet you still got it because even if it was good won't be good to you anyhow?
But of course you know all this. Of course you know the uncertainty.. yet your soul yearns for some bearings.

Anyone knows what will happen? No. At least not at first. What will happen goes beyond the words; and truth is we know it all along, somewhere in the deepest recesses of our Minds we know it all because that part of us resides beyond the shackles of time. Out of time dimension things don't have the same bearings and projection as they have inside of it.

Yet your 'time' inside time is important. Experience. Your 'sleep' time was just that: experience. And in good time you shall celebrate your sleep time, as without it you would have never been able to know things by experiencing them. The warmth of love, affection, the mortal beating heart, the novelty of everything, the brevity of time and consequent treasuring of simple things... and things as such.. sweet emotions not easily available to immortals ones. Amnesia has its benefits.

Now... the curtain between dream and reality becomes transparent.
"Thoughts are things", this understanding coming so easily in dream state.... yet our lucid Mind reject this so strongly in our day to day life.
Yes it can be a terribly unsettling and confusing state. The need to run (adrenaline rush), then the higher side telling is all okay. What's the worse that can happen?
Knowing you are eternal and immortal.. does it matter, whatever happens? Even knowing there's nothing after just the Abyss.. does it matter??

Once upon a time ..I suppose in same confused state, I read this line: "Align yourself to the true North." That is inside of us. The answers are inside of us.
Capezio trust this process of your opening up, be attentive to it, enjoy it!! - as this to shall pass. :



Freedom...isn't she lovely ?!?
