We are what we think.We become what we believe.Our life is what we visualize.Our life
is what we say it is.We can
change our lives by changing our thoughts.
Our thoughts and words are all-powerful.Through our thoughts and words, we create our lives.We are the only
ones
who have complete control over our thoughts and words because we are the only thinkers in our minds.This is
why
we are so powerful.
More and more people are awakening to the simple fact that what they think,declare,and focus on is what they
attract
into their lives.
We are the only victims of our own thinking.If your life is not working, it's time to look at your attitudes
and thoughts
because only here will you find the key to taking control of your life and changing your destiny.
Decide on the life you want,visualize it ,affirm it, decree it, foucs on it, have faith in it,and you will
find yourself living
this life much sooner and much faster than you ever dreamed possible.
The outside world is just a manifestation of what we choose to think about.Focus on sickness, poverty, and
misery,
and you will experience these things instantly.Change your focus and concentrate on the feast of life,on your
bless-
ings,on all the Good in life, on vibrant health and the abundance of the universe-and instantly they will
appear for you.
What changed?The universe surely didn't.All that changed was your thinking.
Look around you.Most people are struggling desperately everyday to survive or to perform,achieve and succeed.The
real point of power is inside.So do the inner work.Examine your thoughts and attitudes,dump the ones that
don't work,
and adopt the focus that will create the life you want to live.
And leave the outer plane alone.The outer plane will take care of itself.It's like a magical computer printout
of your
life: anytime you press the print command,it will give you an exact reading of what you are thinking on the
inner plane.
So forget struggle.Forget hardship.Forget poverty,sickness,and unhappiness.Do the inner work and start enjoying
your life right now.
When you recognize the Force and stop resisting the nature of human evolution, you will find that your entire
life
changes.When you realize that you are 100 percent responsible for everything that happens in your life,that
your
Higher Self in fact designed your life for your own soul growth, and that every difficulty you meet on your
pathway
through life is part of your learning process, you will experience a feeling of relief ,elation,and true liberation.
You will understand that all struggle on the outer plane solves nothing.You will see that we are not victims
of any-
thing.There are no accidents in life and no victims.
Life is a game we cannot lose because we are all here to evolve,no matter what happens.
In fact,life on Planet Earth is like going to school.This is our classroom,which we designed ourselves for
our own
benefit.And struggle is only a sign that we are resisting,that we are not yet doing
the inner work we must do sooner
or later to move on to the next stage of our evolution.
Everything in your life ,my life, and everyone else's comes from the infinite universe.The
infinite universe is the
source and provides us with everything.And since there is an infinite,endless supply of matter and energy,how
can we lack?
Poverty is really the failure to recognize the infinite universe as the source of everything.Other people
are not your
source,nor is your job, the welfare society ,the government,your family ,or outside
circumstances.None of these
things are the source of your life,wealth or prosperity.Other people and situations are the channels through
which
the abundance of the universe manifests in your life...but they are not the source.
So recognize the true source of all life and abundance and open your heart and mind to greater Good,greater
prosperity,increased health,abundance, peace ,and joy in your life.It is always there, just waiting for your
recogni-
tion.So stop limiting your Good ,your health ,or your wealth by limiting your ideas or stating that you can
only
receive from fixed channels.For example,don't say that you live on a fixed income(in other words,on your salary)
because by doing so, you are closing the doors to the source of infinite supply.Realize ,affirm,and visualize
your
Good coming to you through an unlimited number of channels from the infinite universe.
Do you know your word is law?That what you say, even casually, becomes your reality?I
am quite sure people
would be much more careful of what they say if they were aware of the power of the spoken word.
You see,every word you speak or write is an affirmation.To affirm is literally to make firm.To affirm is to
manifest
your thoughts into material form.
Unfortunately, far too many people ,not realizing the power of their words,are affirming lack,poverty,illness,and
unhappiness for themselves.By complaining and proclaiming misery,they are decreeing and creating the very
misery,lack,pain and sorrow they so dislike.
You are the only person in your mind.You can decide,right now, to take control of your words,both written
and
spoken,and thereby take control of your destiny.After all ,you and no one else is responsible for what comes
out
comes out of your mouth.No one else can force you to speak words of negatively.It's your decision.So if you
want
to change your life,take responsibility for your own words right now.
Once you become aware of the power of words,you can quickly see why other people's lives are as they are.Just
listen to what they are saying,to their conversations.It's very revealing.People who complain all the time,
who focus on misery,who are always moaning and groaning about how difficult their lives are,really do have difficult
lives.Their lives are as they decree them to be.
Those who proclaim joy,success, and love,thos who speak positive words, who decree that good things are happen-
ing,live joyful,successful, interesting ,loving lives.
Since that we focus on increases ,when we focus on the negative, we give it our power.And thus it grows.By
denying
the negative,by refusing to give it our attention,we remove our power from it- and it will wither for lack
of attention.
When you listen to people's conversations, you find that most people are complaining about something most
of the
time.If it's not money problems or the weather, it's their health, their children, or they relationships.And
by speak-
ing costantly of lack and difficulties, they create more lack and difficulty for themselves.
Refuse to speak of lack or difficulties.Refuse to support negative emotions and fears in yourself or others.Pull
back.Don't participate.If you can't express your feelings out loud,at least say silently to yourself.No.No.No.I
do
not accept this is true.People will get tired of complaining-at least to you- if you don't support their complaints
or participate in the conversation.If you're brave, you can say you don't believe it's true.You might gently
point
out something that is good and try to shift the focus of the conversationto something positive.
Every word you speak is an affirmation.Your word is law.Your words are your affirmations for your life.So
what
you decree and proclaim (say aloud) for yourself quite literally becomes your reality.So beware!
Don't dwell on your difficulties ,problems or aches and pains.Refuse to speak about them.Refuse to give them
any notice.Refuse to give any notice.Refuse to give them your power.Instead ,when people ask you how you're
doing,tell them something good.You can always find something good to focus on and report.If you can't find
something good to say, then at least you can keep quiet.Silence is another way of saying no to the negative.By
not
speaking of problems and difficulties,you give them no power.
Refuse to gossip,criticize ,or speak negatively about other people.
If you praise people,even difficult or irritating people, amazing things often happen.This is especially true
when
you praise people who really bother you.It is as if your positive words reach them on the subconscious level,giving
power to the Good in them.Again , what we focus on grows.
If we allow ourselves to be bombarded with negative input from the media-violent movies,delpressing television
programs,neurotic stories and articles,sad tales of woe and horror-how can we expect the Good to grow?Your
time is precious and what you focus your attention on is also precious,because whatever you focus on grows.So
don't give your power to violence and/or negative thought forms.
Say either aloud or to yourself:"We live in an abundant,infinite universe.There is an infinite,unlimited supply
of
everything in this universe ,including money.There is an everlasting abundance of resources in this world
and money enough for everyone."The same goes for illness.Refuse to give it any power.If you focus on every little
ache and pain will grow.
Belief creates biology.Our bodies and our immune systems are strongly influenced by our mental states.Scientists
have proven that depressed thoughts weaken our immune system.Happy thoughts strenghten us.
Whenever thought goes, a chemical goes with it.We must conclude that the body is capable
of producing and bio-
chemical response once the mind has been given the appropriate suggestions....if we could effectively trigger
the
intention....the body would carry it out automatically.
The Power of Visualization.Our power to think,conceive ,imagine,and create mental
images is working all the time.
Whether we are aware of it or not, we are constantly picturing or seeing things in our mind's eye.We are "visuali-
zing."
The implications of this phenomenon are enormous.Have you noticed that people who are depressed,who think
negatively,who see(imagine or visualize) gloom,doom,despair,and failure everyswhere they look,usually lead
gloomy,desperate lives?And that bright ,cheerful people who think positively and picture Whatever the mind of
man can conceive and believe it can acheive!
The good news is this:We can learn to harness our power to see,picture,and imagine to create the lives we
want
to live.We are all using this picturing power all the time,but most people are picturing or imagining quite
uncon-
sciously.In other words,they are not aware of what they are doing.They are not aware that they are constinually
imagining and picturing for themselves,for other people,and for the world in general.And if they are aware,chances
are they are not aware of how powerful an effect this process of "mental picturing" has on their lives.This
is very
unfortunate because so many people use this power to imagine or visualize to see pain, suffering ,and failure
for
themselves when,with a little training, they could unleash the power of their imaginations to create greater
Good.
Not only that,our power to picture or imagine also affect s our health.This is because, as scientists have
now proved,every thought we think creates or triggers a biochemical reaction in our bodies.This is why so many
teachers in the human potential movement,teach that if we can learn to trigger or program ourselves and our
subconscious minds with positive intentions, our bodies will automatically carry out thes intentions.Unfortunately
most people do the opposite.But it is important to remember;"Intention is the active partner of attention.Our
past intentions create obsolete programming that seems to have control over us.In truth,the power of intention
can be reawakened at anytime...and you can consciously program your mind...using the power of your intention."
Our thoughts and pictures are the blueprints we place in our subconscious minds , and our lives are a fulfillment
of these thoughts,concepts and pictures,whether they are positive or negative.Our lives on the outer plane
are.,
in fact ,nothing more than the physical manifestation of what is going on in our minds.
Haven't you heard people say,"It's all in your mind,"or "It 's just your Imagination'?Well,there's more thruth
to
this than most people realize.And if it is just our imaginations,if our imaginations are such a powerful force
that we
can create health and happiness for ourselves by training our imagination to picture our Good,then surely
we've
discovered one of the most powerful tools ever for improving life on Planet Earth!
So why not decide ,right now,that whenever you catch yourself"picturing" a negative outcome for yourself or
others, you consciously change your mental image and picture something good happening.Once you start watching
your thoughts- your inner mental chatter-you might be surprised by what you discover.
Someone once said that 99 percent of what we think today is a repetition of what we thought yesterday.And
if you
are picturing negative outcomes...that sounds pretty serious,doesn't it?
Besides beginning to become aware of your inner dialogue and consciously trying to change it to the positive,you
can do specific exercises to train and develop your ability to picture successful outcomes and to reprogram
yourself, your body,and your behavior.
Alpha is what we call the state we're in when our brain waves slow down to about half their normal frequency.This
happens naturally just before we fall asleep and as we wake up in the morning.Researchers have found that
good
things happen to our bodies when our brains are at alpha level.Blood pressure becomes normal,pulse rate stabilizes
stressed,tense organs relax,and the body generally becomes revitalized.
When we are active and wide awake,our brain waves pulsate at about 14-21 pulsations per second.This state
is
called beta.When we relax or are about to fall asleep,our brain waves slow down to 7-14 pulsations per second,
to the state called alpha.As we enter sleep,pulsations slow down even more.Light sleep is called theta and
is bet-
ween 4-7 pulsations per second,and deep sleep or delta is anything fewer than 4 pulsations per second.So alpha
is definetely a place to go.Why?Because alpha is a natural,comfortable,peaceful.blissful,relaxed state.Everyone
feels good when they're in alpha.
There are many different techiques for entering the alpha state, such as meditation,chanting prayer,listening
to
soothing music, autogenic training ,biofeedback,and so forth.Lots of people have their own special routines
for or
ways of sending themselves into alpha.In fact, many people are enjoying the alpha state when they're day dreaming....they
just don't know they're in alpha.There are also many relaxation tapes that guide you easily and
effortlessly into alpha.
Do you know what you want?And how to get it? Many people don't.
Not only do they not know what they want,if they knew,they wouldn't know how to get it either.
To know what you want-and get it too-is a matter of focus.
What is focus?
Focusing just means to pay attention to ,and to concentrate on, something.Actually, we're all experts at focusing
because that's just what we're doing whenever we dwell on a subject.
Take hypochondriacs.Even though they don't usually produce what we would call "great results" in their lives,
they
in fact are experts at focusing.Unfortunately for them,instead of turning the x-ray beam of their minds to
the single
-minded pursuit of some higher goal.Once you become aware of how your mind works,you can turn things around
and train yourself to use your power of concentration to create and achieve what you want in life.
Realize that focusing is just a matter of conscious choice.
Money is not the source of misery, violence, crime ,revolution, drug addiction, or unhappiness-poverty is.If you look closely at the stories behind the bad news,you will find that povety is almost always behind violence,crime,
misery,drug addiction,and unhappiness between people.
Poverty is no fun.It's hard to be happy if you are poor.Financial problems and pressures are terribly stressful.
Financial problems and pressures often cuase nevous breakdowns.
Poverty can drive people to drink and drugs.poverty is not only uncomfortable,it is a degrading experience.Nobody
really wants to be poor.Normal ,healthy people want to have enough money to enjoy the good things in life.
If you're honest with yourself,you'll have to admit that this is true.We all have a deep desire to enjoy the
blessings
and abundance of this infinite universe.But if you recognize that we live in an abundant universe,why shouldn't
we enjoy all the Good the universe has for us?
Since our attitudes govern our lives,our attitudes toward money determine whether we live a life of lack or
one of
increasing prosperity.Do you bless your money? Do you give thanks for the blessings you already have?Do you
feel you deserve abundance? If not,why not? Do you believe there is more than enough for everyone?
Focus on prosperity and your income will increase.Since,we always manifest what we focus on,when we focus
on
abundance,when we feel we deserve abundance,when we joyfully accept and praise the money we have right now,
we automatically attract more money.
Most people are using the law of attraction to do the opposite-to stay poor.Without being aware of it, they
focus
on abundance,when we feel we deserve abundance,when we joyfully accept and praise the money we have right
now,we automatically attract more money.
Most people are using the law of attraction to do the opposite- to stay poor.Without being aware of it, they
focus on and create lack in their lives by complaining about their lack of money,the high cost of living, the government,the
high level of unemployment,and so forth.
If you want to change your life,stop talking about lack.Refuse to listen to people who complain about lack.Don't
participate in conversations about lack.And don't think negative thoughts about your financial situation,about
the money in your bank accout ,or about your debts,try this.Regard every bill that drops into your mailbox
as a sign that someone trusted you.They trusted you enough and believed enough in your ability to pay for these goods
and services to actually give you the stuff in advance,way before you paid for it!What faith! Actually,you
should
bless all these bills because they are a symbol of your ability to pay for whatever you now have in your life!
So it's very simple.Since your money is a symbol of the abundance of the universe,it's very important to clean
up
your mental act in relation to money.
Don't limit yourself to a "fixed income" either.Remember,we live in an infinite universe, so abundance can
come
to you from many sources.Be open to new channels of supply.Be aware that your Good can come from expected
and unexpected sources.Affirm dialy that your Good is increasing and that it's on its way to you now. Affirm
daily
that you are open and receptive to a major increase in your level of prosperity right here and right now.
People who amass,accumulate,collect or hoard things they don't need, people who are stingy,people who are
afraid
of spending their money or who hide their money away in vaults and secret bank accounts,people who are possess-
ive about their children,friends, or loved ones, are all resisting the natural order of the universe,which
is constant
flow and change.
Since we live in the midst of this massive flow of energy, since we're all just channels through which the
energy
flows,we can only be fine, okay,healthy, happy, prosperous,productive ,and enjoy life when we give and receive
naturally.When we don't think about giving and receiving ,but just do it,when we give naturally because this
is
the nature of life,of being okay,then we are in harmony with the universe.Circulation is the natural order
of things.
In fact, when you think about it,everything is already given to us: life,air ,water ,our parents, our bodies,food,this
planet,and people to play with.So why should we try to hold on to anything..when we already have everything?
Why should we resist the flow?Of course, when we do,it's because of fear.Fear that we will lose something,fear
that we won't have enough.But this fear is just an illusion.This fear springs from a basic lack of understanding
of the nature of the universe.Once you remember your true origin, once you realize you already have everything, you
can dissolve this fear.
So if you have any problem in your life and you want to feel better.Start giving right away! Especially when
things
in your life seem stuck,or when you're sick,or when you seem to lack financial means-that's when it's time
to give.
Giving opens up the channels again.Giving get rid of congestion.Giving keeps the energy circulating,flowing
.
Giving will open up the channels again.Giving gets rid of congestion.Giving keeps the energy circulating,flowing.
Giving will open the doors again so you can receive because you must give in order th receive...just as in
Nature
you must so before you can harvest.This is the universal law.When you do not give or sow, you cannot reap.
Giving is an act of faith.Giving says you recognize that the infinite universe is the true source of all life,all
abundance,and that you are a worthy child of this infinite universe who expects to receive all the blessings and
abundance that the universe provides.
You can give: Time,money, possessions,praise and blessings,love and understanding.
Silence is food for the soul,a gift from God Without silence, we may wither,become
confused or fail to realize our
full potential.
Silence is a wonderful place where wonderful things happen.... Silence is where we get in touch with our inner
voice, our intuition,our deepest feelings, dreams ,and desires....Silence is where we find the answers to question that
trouble us and the solutions to problems that seem insoluble.
So don't be afraid of silence.Seek it out.Because silence is your friend.Silence is a true blessing.
Unfortunately,many people fear silence becuase they do not realize that silence is their friend.A place of
power ,a
magic garden, a sacred haven,where they can regroup, recharge, and revitalize theire energy.So they only feel
comfortable when they are surrouded by incessant activity, noise,talk,music ,television and the frantic pace
of city
life.When such people are not working ,they're talking on the phone,making plans,watching television,meeting
friends ,going out,doing things.They're always busy and have forgotten the importance of maintaining a harmonious
balance between activity and rest.
Often there is the mistaken idea that something is wrong with us if we're not doing something all the time.Are
you
like this? Do you believe you're got to be "produtive","active" all the time? If this is your program,I suggest
you
do yourself a big favor and let this idea go , because not only are you missing one of life's true pleasures,
you are
missing a G od- given place of power.So please be clear about this: You are dissipating your life force and
your
creative energy if you never take time to renew yourself through silence.
One of the reasons we feel so much better when we are out in Nature is that we are so much closer to the force.
There are places out there,places on this earth,that are more powerful than others.A power spot overwhelms
you
with its clarity and beauty,with its sense of harmony,and with the feeling of power you experience when you
stand
on that spot.
Thank your body for being so beautiful, serving you so well,being such a wonderful instrument,carrying you
around
all day long,digesting your food ,taking you to the movies every once in a while. I guarantee you your body
will glow with delight...and so will you.
