Life in the Afterlife with Stafford Betty

If I get what you are saying correctly, I am very much in agreement. We can change the course of our lives by our decisions and beliefs. I think that the reason we don't recognise this is the fact that it often does take a prolonged period to take effect so we tend to think in terms of fate or accidental/coincidental events rather than subtle but purposeful nudges which cause events to play out in a certain fashion.

I read something recently (or rather re-read because I originally read the book 40 years ago) that is a kind of illustration of this influence our thoughts can have on our lives. It was asked how we can know what kind of person we are and the answer was to look at the people we find populating our lives - the people we are drawn towards and who are drawn towards us. They are in many ways a reflection of who we are. I believe this is what happens to a more obvious degree in the afterlife, as I mentioned in my previous post.

Yes, that all sounds like something I was thinking. Though originally I had in mind something I know from experience, no matter where you travel, you take yourself with you. Sometimes things like going on holiday or moving to a different work location and living somewhere different, can seem like a major change. But on other occasions it can just be more of the same, and it isn't the external world which needs to be changed, but the internal one.
