Your feelings provide the measuring stick by which the richness of your thought is compared. As you think, you feel. Feelings interpret the thoughts and provide feedback.
If you were void of feelings, your experience would lack direction. Hatred, kindness, love, hurt, lack and abundance would hold the same value. Since you are here to create, you equipped yourself with feelings as a personal built in device to aid in the navigation of your experiences. Thus, feelings direct you towards harmony and abundance and away from lack and despair. This is another astonishing secret to achievement. It is only when you fail to take note of this built in device that you feel overwhelmed by emotion. If you were not equipped with the emotional richness of your feelings, your experiences would provide little value. After all what would you create if you were emotionally void? How would you direct your experiences accordingly? What would the point be in experiencing success, failure, a family, love, happiness, or anger? Your feelings provide you with that measuring stick. They guide your thoughts towards constructive purposes; purposes that you personally feel good about. Conversely, they steer you away from destructive experiences. Feelings are intended to guide us towards universal harmony. If you want to be abundant follow the course of your feelings. They are your personal yellow brick road.
Often we allow emotions to lead us into a frenzy of cyclical thought patterns. When thoughts are beneficial feelings of harmony, happiness, excitement and elation spawn. These feelings aid in promoting ongoing thoughts of harmony. Equally, when thoughts are in discord, feelings presented are meant as a signal to change your thinking.
However, instead of change we often embrace the negative thoughts and allow ourselves to wallow in their despair. Why? When we do not realize we create our reality, we allow magnetized thoughts to continue to attract each other. We do not bother to reverse our thoughts. The situation holds our attention commanding our focus. More and more thoughts are obsessively lent. We submit to the feeling. It’s the mechanics of the Law of Attraction at work: Like attracts like. Feelings are intended to steer us out of thought corkscrews when the attracting thoughts are destructive and swell our thoughts when they are constructive. They keep us on course. When we learn that we create our reality, we know that changing our thoughts will change our feelings and ultimately our experience. We will learn later why our emotionally intense thoughts, whether they are constructive or destructive, do not stay that long. We will also learn why deliberately holding thoughts can alter our course. For now, we will continue talking about feelings.
Our thoughts are always there. They are always with us, yet, too often go unnoticed. Feelings reel us in forcing an inward inspection. You become aware of your thoughts in moments of intense feelings. Think about the times you were angry or hurt. You can probably recall quite vividly the thoughts that raced through your head during those times. Words you said in anger, rebuttals you wished you had given or the bite of someone’s stinging comments. You can also easily recall your thoughts as you watched your daughter marry, during the birth of your son, or when you received special recognition at work. You can hardly recall what you were thinking about two weeks ago Thursday driving home from work.
Emotions cause you to inspect inwardly. Without emotions, you rarely pay attention to your escaping thoughts. Our feelings are intended to steer us towards harmony where thoughts, beliefs and feelings are succinct with the harmony of the Universal Mind. Harmony harnesses our personal power turning us into a magnet for reaching our ideals. Consider how you would pivot position with thoughts that escape your attention and beliefs that keep you firmly planted in position, if it were not for feelings. In which direction would you guide your thoughts? You would not be able to move position if you did not have something to nudge you along. Our feelings help us! Feelings help course our thoughts.
Due to their intensity, thoughts coupled with intense feelings are powerful attractors. You radiate strongly when you feel immensely good or immensely bad. Negative feelings are urgent telegrams imploring you to change your thoughts. The longer you wallow in negativity, the greater the likelihood that a negative experience will occur. You become a magnet for negativity. Pleasant feelings are indications that your thoughts and beliefs are harmonious. You are a magnet for them.
When you feel hurt, angry, mad, scared, upset, rejected or taken advantage, changing your thoughts will change the emotion. However, it is not enough to fake feeling good about something. Feelings are a sign of conflict with harmony or cohesiveness with harmony. If your experiences are in agreement with your ideals then you feel good. You feel bad when experiences conflict with your ideals. You feel neutral when you are maintaining status quo, meaning you are doing nothing to change your current situation for the better or the worse. Feelings are meant to steer you towards your ideals by reminding you to tend to your thoughts. If you are feeling bad or feeling neutral you have work to do. If you feel elated, you are on the right path.
You create! As you do this, thoughts and beliefs will solidify into new experiences. When your experiences have shifted into a new normal neutral position for you, your feelings will become unnoticeable again. You will feel a new normal neutral point as you settle into this new regimen of thoughts. For example, consider the emotional outpour felt during a relationship breakup. You spin thoughts of hurt, anger, frustration, or perhaps even relief. However, you do not spin these emotional thoughts long. During the onset they are the strongest. New thoughts gradually settle in accepting the split. The break-up becomes your new normal neutral position. As you adjust to this position, feelings subside.
Your feelings guide you as you move toward a position. Getting comfortable in your day to day routine provides that general numbness that you feel. You must “move” thought positions to engage your feelings. Once you provide the thoughts that move you towards harmony you will stop feeling elation as beliefs cement. You must then think new thoughts to move further along.
Remember the conscious mind enjoys active spontaneous thought. You will become overwhelmed unless you allow beliefs to take over passively. For example, as thoughts move you towards disparaging situations, like thoughts will attract more like thoughts. You will begin to feel bad as experiences migrate towards you. If you do not at that point actively pursue other thoughts, reality will emerge consistent with the disparaging thoughts. As this occurs you validate the reality as proof that your thoughts are correct. When you do this consistently, a belief will form. Once a belief forms the conscious mind tucks the belief away allowing it to passively attract giving the conscious mind free roaming ability again. As this occurs, feelings subside. You become comfortably numb in your new normal neutral position.
Feelings display during active attraction because the thoughts that are responsible for creating the feeling are presently held within the conscious mind. Once the thoughts are tucked away as beliefs, you no longer feel until you intentionally rattle the thoughts around. Feelings represent a change in either direction from status quo or as I like to refer to it, as normal neutral.
Previously, you may have been directed to manipulate your emotions by forcing feelings of joy and elation. That must be done, not to the exclusion of your thoughts or the manipulation of your feelings, but the inclusion of both thoughts and feelings. When the parts work together, the results are definite. We say, “I wish I felt better,” or “I hope you feel better.” You cannot feel joy and elation without thinking joyful thoughts. Thoughts come first. We should instruct ourselves and others to think better thoughts not feel better. The feelings will then follow since thought evokes feeling.
Your feelings are your expectations as to what will occur because of the pleasure or pain they provide. Feeling either sensation is an indication of what is heading your way. As soon as we realize we have this very powerful navigational system within us, we can begin to direct our physical reality in unimaginable ways. If we listen to the whispers of our feelings immediately redirecting thoughts that are destructive in nature to those feel good thoughts, we will navigate directly to harmony’s doorstep. Our feelings point the way. If you unsure what to think or become overwhelmed inspecting your thoughts, then think of what makes you feel good. You can enjoy monumental leaps in experiences by adjusting thoughts to feelings that bombard you with pleasure.
Your course of events will turn as you consistently apply this knowledge. Your choice to redirect destructive thoughts immediately as negative feelings present or flounder in them determines the speed and likelihood in which a change will occur. The choice is always yours.
Your thoughts are energy in motion. As you think, like energy vibrates and attracts toward you. A sudden change from destructive to constructive thought more than likely is not enough force to repel the energy already in motion. You need sufficient opposing thoughts to redirect the energy heading your way. A lifetime of destructive thoughts cannot be uprooted by hope and positivity. Constructively crafted thoughts must be employed to cast off what has been formed; authority of present beliefs must be met with the muscle of new thoughts.
An equal and opposite force is necessary to work upon the negative thought energy already in motion. That is why we often experience the physical residual of negative thought long after the thoughts vanish. Lending our thoughts only temporarily to bursts of enthusiasm ends in deflated defeat. The small attempts at constructive thought are not enough to ward off the negative energy already attracted. We then make faulty assumptions that our powers are fictitious or inadequate because we perceive no change. Ultimately, we retreat to our habitual way of thought further validating status quo.
You may have to endure the negative experiences momentarily as your thoughts change constructively. Know that your experiences are only temporary and will change to benefit you by holding on to “feel good” thoughts. Ultimately, enduring something momentarily is much better than blindly enduring something for a lifetime.
In consideration of your current state of affairs you may wonder why you do not have to think of your bills, medical condition, or the turmoil present in your life with such propensity of emotion. I will remind you that you have done so with redundancy you entire life, years and even decades for some. You have committed your “way” of thinking to your habitual thought process and have formed barriers in the form of beliefs that support your lack. Since you have done this to yourself for so long, your thoughts are frequent, redundant and have attracted to you just those conditions of your thoughts. You are getting exactly what you think about because you have committed your thoughts to beliefs that pump out your reality. You do not have to think about your bills or present conditions with a knowing awareness. You have committed your way of life to a belief that churns our reality. Beliefs churn out reality quite inconspicuously. Once you have mastered your new way of thinking, it will be committed to with the same automation as your current state. Thoughts always attempt to materialize themselves.
To this point we have talked about our creative purpose and the workings of our mind. We learned that thoughts produce things and are governed by beliefs. Doubt signals potential change. Feelings guide us towards harmony and away from despair. There is one final piece of the puzzle that we need to comprehend before moving on to an understanding of how to put thoughts, beliefs and feelings in constructive alignment. We must understand the significant impression we have of time and the bearing it has on actualizing.
