I became intrigued with the idea of the power of thought in the spring of 2008, when I was presented with a copy of The Secret by my mother. Up to that point in my life, I believed in the power of positive thinking and the benefits of optimism, but I did not think thoughts contained actual power. I believed attitude equaled altitude, not thoughts equal materialization of physical reality. Little did I know in 2008, with my copy of The Secret opened to page one, that I was about to burrow into the world of the power of thoughts, physics, religion, psychology, chemistry, anatomy and philosophy in an attempt to wrap my mind around truth. I also did not know as I held page one firmly in my grasp on that summer day in 2008 that my life as I knew was about to change, for the worse. It would take unraveling the mystery behind the power of thought to restore order in the ensuing chaos about to be shoveled upon me.
In 2008, my husband and I collectively owned over a dozen rental properties; a small undertaking that we had built up over the course of several years finally enabling both of us to quit our day jobs to manage our properties. I swelled with pride over what we had built. Unfortunately, all was to be taken from me as the real-estate market plummeted in an unstoppable downward spiral. I lost everything to foreclosure including my personal home. My marriage crumbled shortly afterwards leaving me alone with two small children to care for, escalating bills, impending bankruptcy and no income. My story is no different than any other person’s story during that time period. Most of the people I know who lost everything during the real-estate crash, including myself, were still trying to pry our dropped jaws off the ground in an attempt to soak meaning out of what occurred. Virtually overnight, I went from being a financially secure responsible person to a ridiculed financial wreck. Literally, I went to rags! I could not afford bread if it was not on sale. My life spiraled downward in what seemed to be an unstoppable plunge.
It was during my sweltering pride and jaw dropping days that I opened The Secret to page one. Perhaps I drew The Secret unto myself in my moment of need. I believe I did. However, I was not easily persuaded by just this one book. While the material presented intrigued me at a time when I was completely down, I felt it left many more secrets than it attempted to answer: How do thoughts attract? Why don’t all my thoughts hold attracting power? How is it that I kept trying and trying to focus on positive aspects, yet my disparaging circumstances remain? What am I doing wrong? If thoughts have power, where is my power? Why is thought power so difficult to summon up?
I did not set out to write a book. I set out to discover the truth. I submerged myself in countless books on the power of thought, meditation, ancient and modern philosophy. I read about quantum physics, black holes, the law of thermodynamics, the theory of relativity, and metaphysics. I read the teaching of Buddha, Tao Tzu, the Bible and countless books by self-help authors who had written about the power of thoughts. I read everything I could get my hands on that shed light on truth. What I discovered is this: There are no truths. However, in this one statement all the answers reside.
If there are no truths, then all we have, all we see and all we experience is only what we think is true since thoughts do not bequeath truth unto matters. Thoughts can only collect into beliefs giving us an illusion of truth as we experience and believe what we think. I started to wonder what if I could yank the carpet from all the disparaging situations occurring in my life simply by stripping them of truth. What if I change my thoughts and beliefs to allow new truths? Since there are no truths and if what I experience is what I think is true, why not change what I think is true to better serve me. With this bit of knowledge in my fist I began altering my thoughts.
Suddenly, I saw with perfect clarity my thoughts representation in what had accrued in my life. My thoughts were being thrown down like stepping stones before me paving the way to my future. I saw this in myself. I saw it in others. I saw it in everyone everywhere. Thoughts produce physical reality. There is absolutely no other way. I became absolutely convinced of this.
I dug into my research even further than I had before trying to understand how to manipulate my thoughts beneficially in order to overcome the destruction I had created and the obstacles I had erected. There was so much material already existing that acknowledged thoughts had power, but left the reader hanging. How do I access this power? Why is it so difficult? Why is the negativity lingering in my life now so easy to attract, yet my ideals seem unobtainable? Why, why, why?
Through my research, I found the way. So many questions that seemed unanswerable sprung forth in illumination. I understood. I got it! I applied my knowledge reaping magnificent benefits the Power of Thought can provide. I became unstoppable in my endeavors. I put my life back together piece by piece. I became a power seller on EBay in a matter of months generating enough income to keep me as a stay at home mom.
However, as I soared above my obstacles I saw so many others struggling. Tucked away at the back of my mind, my knowledge clawed at me for release. Yes, I had figured it out. Yes, I knew the way. However, the knowledge was not mine to keep. Once I had acquired the knowledge, I felt compelled, urged, and driven to give it away. In September 2010, I began to write it all down in Endowed with Omnipotence: The Power of Your Thoughts Illuminated. My book represents the trail to harnessing your personal thought power. My intention is to connect you with your Omnipotent power of thought.
As of this moment, my book is not published. However, that will not stop me from sharing what I have learned with others through this blog. I started this blog as a means of releasing ideas and concepts contained in my book. My wish for you is joy, happiness and an abundant life.
