In improv there is a rule of thumb called yes, and that states that whatever happens or whatever is said to you in-scene, you go with it and then build off of it. You accept whatever has been presented to you as the reality of that scene and then keep going.
Creating Reality Agreements
Business consultants use this as a technique to get teams to play better together and encourage unabashed brainstorming.
And it is also a really interesting way to create reality agreements among trusted friends and go to some spacey kinds of places.
Reality is just a collective agreement. When we all agree on something, we experience it as a tangible touchable reality. We call it world.
Group Experiences
However, there are all kinds of experiences that we can have in small collective groups that feel just as real as anything anyone else is experiencing but only exist within the perception of the group.
Cults and religions use this phenomenon as a mind-control system to indoctrinate their members into feeling a certain way. Sometimes it is used in nefarious ways and sometimes it is a beautiful way to have a collective experience.
Only agree to experiences that feel empowering.
When Two or More Gather
Reality is malleable. It will shift and morph to the vibrational output emanating from you.
Jesus said when two or more gather, I will be there. What does that mean?
It means that the creator of worlds, the engine of reality, is responding to your agreement. When a small group gets together and purely shares the same intention, reality can shift.
You Do Not Need Everyone
Where people get tripped up is that they feel like they need everyone in the world to see something for it to be real.
But you will never get everyone in the world to agree to one thing. That diversity of thought is what makes this reality experience so much fun.
There are sub-realities or parallels that you can experience right now. You do not need the entire world to acknowledge them.
Practice Makes Real
Just like a drug-trip, you can plan for short dips into alternate realities. You can gather together, set an intention, collectively agree that the intended reality experience is valid and real and then have that experience.
At first it is going to feel like improv, like you are just playing around. That is fine. It is fun to play.
With enough practice and belief and faith and knowing, those reality experiences will become so real that you will not be able to distinguish whether they were real or not.
And then you open yourself up to a much larger existential question: What is really real?
