The Illusion of Logic: Rewriting the Rules of Reality

I’ve been participating in a Bob Proctor course with a certified Proctor consultant, and this first month has been deeply focused on one thing: changing the paradigm. One of the most intriguing ideas I’ve encountered so far is the notion that the body expresses the “logic” of the mind—meaning that if you want to change your reality, you must first change your internal logic.

Bob Proctor himself reinforced this idea in a video this week, using a historical example: There was a time when human logic insisted that the Earth was flat. The question “If the Earth is round, why don’t people fall off the edge?” seemed entirely reasonable within the prevailing logic of that time. And yet, that logic was false.

This made me wonder: If logic is so malleable—if what once seemed indisputable can later be proven entirely wrong—then is logic even logic at all?

Manifestation: Beyond Logic- As I explored this idea further, I began listening to Neville Goddard, who suggests that manifestation exists outside the bounds of logic. According to him, manifestations often arrive in the most unexpected, seemingly impossible ways—precisely because they bypass our logical expectations.

Inspired by this, I decided to experiment with the concept myself. My Proctor consultant gave me an exercise:

1. Write down, in detail, an aspect of my reality that I do not prefer.

2. Then, write out its opposite in equally vivid detail—the reality I do prefer.

The purpose? To challenge and rewire my paradigm through repetition and emotional intensity, forcing a shift in my subconscious. This process defies my existing logic—but then again, if logic itself is an illusion, what is there to resist?

Rewriting the Rules of Reality- In response to this new understanding—and as part of my ongoing experiment with deliberately disrupting my reality—I wrote an entire page affirming that logic isn’t logic at all:

Manifesting is illogical. My logic defines my paradigm, so I am changing my logic. Logic is not some fixed truth; it is simply a deeply held belief. And I love watching the illogical happen, because that’s when I know my reality is shifting.

As I sat with this realization, another word surfaced in my contemplation: rigid. Is my paradigm so rigid that I can’t change my reality? Have I truly been powerless to an unseen force this whole time? If “logic” is just another belief system, then the answer is clear: No, I am not powerless. In fact, the opposite is true. If logic is simply the mind’s conditioned framework, then I hold absolute power to rewrite it.

The Mastery of Reality– I love watching my reality reflect back to me the evidence of my own power—the subtle and unmistakable signs that I am the creator of this experience. I create the logic. As I dismantle my old paradigm, I watch old “logic” crumble, dissolving into the wind like a mirage. Logic is nothing more than a flickering illusion—a will-o’-the-wisp that appears real only until you question it. And yet, I have spent so much of my life giving power to something so fleeting. Why?

Choosing a New Reality- Perhaps it’s time to stop reinforcing the illusion of a rigid reality when, time and time again, my very circumstances prove that nothing is fixed. Maybe that’s what people mean when they say, “Nothing is real.” It is real—but only as real as I decide it to be.

And if I have the power to make that decision—to define reality according to my own desires—then that means I also create the logic that governs it.

So, is it egotistical to believe that I can move mountains simply by shifting my perception? Or is this, in fact, the way the world truly works?
