Does anyone remember this from the Guidebook and can exactly pinpoint where Bruce has said this:

Something along the lines of...having doubt about something can actually trigger that exact experience to manifest itself in your life simply for the purpose of proving it is real.

Does anyone want to discuss what they know about this and any experiences with it?  

The one I'm currently writing about is a time when a 17-year-old girl asked me if I'd ever experienced hearing someone's thoughts.  At the time, I remember thinking that it was not possible to hear someone's thoughts.  But she said she had a friend who claimed to be able to hear people's exact thoughts.  It made me think to myself, well I'd have to experience it for myself in order to believe something like that, because I don't believe it is possible.

About 2 weeks later I DID have an experience with hearing someone's exact thoughts.  So, obviously, my doubt that this kind of thing was possible is exactly what caused me to have this experience.  It was as if my disbelief was challenging my capability of belief, thus giving me an exact experience to prove it.  

It's such an interesting concept because doubt and disbelief in the first place are supposed to block perception.  However, I had also stated to myself that if I had that exact experience, then I would believe it--and that was the thing that allowed this experience into my perception.  Very cool!

Anyway, if anyone knows where this quote is, please point it out.  Sometimes I can't find what I'm looking for even when it is right in front of me.

Hi Vicky.  For Bruce on doubt try the Guidebook pp 40-42.  "If I experience the feeling of doubt as I'm placing intent for my affirmation, I am placing intent forboth my affirmation and my doubt to manifest." P. 41.  I think he's discussed doubt in several places but this is the one I've seen most recently.  Rob

There's a lot to learn about Doubt, that is very true. 

Specifically, though, I was curious about the concept of doubt about a belief bringing an experience into reality for the purpose of proving to you that it is real.  And I mean as in my example above...when I told myself it was not possible and I'd only believe it if it happened to me...then it did.  Anybody else experience something like that?

I know this quote I'm looking for exists somewhere...I'll just have to ask Bruce once he gets back in town.

I believe you are right Rob, I'm sure my curiousity outweighed my doubt.  That tends to be how I operate I guess.

Let me ask you, you are using Bruce's CD's too right?  Or did you make your own?
