I am Placing an Order
Universe has intelligence like you me and every living things which function and create the unity and succession of life along with cycles that go in it. Many new age teachers recently tap into this soon-to-be saturated philosophy which base has not harvested solid scientific proof despite enthusiasm that has been seeding it. From NLP to The Secret to Positive Thinking to Cosmic way. It boils down to the same principal: You wish upon something hard enough and soon it comes to you. whatever it is. I mean or they mean whatever. Only with one pretext: Believe with it blindly.
Somehow I notice that there are many things that can justify this just as many that can do the opposite. It is our selective cognitive that opted to see those things that incidentally skew to the favored side of the statistics which then indeed justify this wishful thinking. But, may I call it wishful?
Debate of someone's life which is an outcome of conscious decisions, a series of coincidental events or the combination of both always have been throughout the history since the premature development of human's cognitive ability to analyze which led to habits in predicting and forecast. We have always been interested in events taking place in the future. Enabling us to take steps in preparation as a way of anticipating outcome that may not be favored. We then started to worship the "greater" power starting from things visible in nature and gradually shift to angelic heavenly and fatherly figure possessing attributes of magnificence. As our society changes and develops our priority changes and so is our perception to the creator. We started to modify rules of belief systems that fit in our "modern" society mind set. We started to set up method to "engineer" outcome of the "preferred" future through statistics and probability. We want to create a predictable world.
Now, what if our future is engineer-able. This question sparks multidisciplinary expertise from human resource to mathematics to engineering to metaphysics. We want to have a certain outcome within a measured and specified range of predictability out of infinite possible outcomes by means of law of science and mathematics. We create postulates that says definite things that gives exact same outcome when the same steps to harvesting it is done in the same exact manner and order. That is how scientific world overrates documentation, that is why cooking book has written precise quantity of the amount of flour and cheese to bake a cake and so on. But, is that even possible when applied to success of a human being?
Will I be an Oprah if I do and follow the same exact steps that she did?
How do you engineer success?
Or should I be reliant to the "intelligent" cosmic universe to send out signal of my wanting to become succesful and with countless piles of dollar?
telll me.
