My book Endowed with Omnipotence: The Power of Your Thoughts Illuminated is scheduled for publication late fall 2012. My book tells you exactly how the power of thought works.
The power of thought works in direct correlation to your predominant thoughts and beliefs. For most of us, that means we get more of what is already in existence in our lives because the power of thought is the materialization of our strongest beliefs in physical reality. Nearly every thought we have today is a duplicate of the thought we had yesterday of the effect we get more of the same stuff. The time spent thinking about a potential new reality is extremely limited.
When you consider a new future, you do so by wishing away what currently is the reality you are experiencing or by daydreaming of what you really want. Wishing away what already is in existence (for example bills, a health problem, or excess weight) lends excessive thought power to what is. Whether you think negatively or positively about something, thinking about a particular something gives power to it. Think of a coin. Whether you think about the tail side or the head side, you are still thinking about the coin. The same is true of optimism and pessimism. Thinking positively optimistic about something, while nice, merely lends thought power to the brighter side of the experience. You then experience a great day, but nothing really changes. Consider a person with cancer. The person might be hopeful and positive about the outcome of their treatment, yet the focus remains on thoughts surrounding the belief, I have cancer, albeit they are hopeful of a positive outcome.
Typically, we do surround our beliefs with positive and negative thoughts which is why we experience runs of bad luck and a stroke of good fortune. However, positive thinking alone is not enough to uproot a current belief. Conversely, we should never engage in negative thinking.
Daydreaming about an ideal life does not work for two reasons. First, little thought is lent to the daydream compared to the redundancy of thoughts cycling through your mind. 95% of the thoughts you have today are exactly the same thoughts you had yesterday. You think of your life as it exists now, which only serves to reinforce what already is. A daydream does not have enough oomph power to eject you from your current experience. The second reason daydreams are ineffective is due to beliefs already in place. If you really believed you could be a rock star or find a cure for your cancer, you would have that experience because beliefs and reality are fused together.
Think about everything in your life now. Absolutely everything is a belief. You believe you have a yellow sofa, a wonderful spouse, are healthy or you believe you are overweight, unemployed or are in financial despair. Everything in your experience now is absolutely believable to you. Somewhere in your conscious mind, doubt is held when it comes to fulfilling your daydream. You doubt your ability, the likelihood of the outcome, and the immediacy in which the daydream can be fulfilled. Thus, the daydream is always held at bay.
The power of thought never makes mistakes. The power works every single time. When we misunderstand how the power of thought works, we mistake our failure to summon abundance and good fortune as a failure of this power. However, the power of thought works in conjunction with your strongest thoughts and beliefs. The power only appears to be misfiring because you are not bringing enough contrary thought power or the right kind of thought energy to the table. So essentially what is already built up by your thoughts and beliefs perpetuates effortlessly since not enough contrary thought power is being fired.
Consider a tree as a belief you want to rid yourself of. If you swing an ax at the tree, eventually that tree will topple and a treeless landscape will emerge. The same process is needed as you change your experiences in life. Metaphorically speaking, if you consider your beliefs as the tree and your ability to think differently as the ax, then as you sharpen your ax (clarify your thinking) and swing hard at the destructive belief, the belief will also fall and a fresh reality will appear.
Unfortunately, most of us approach the tree (belief) with a butter knife. And we hit that tree so irregular and with such little oomph power that the tree (belief) still stands nearly untouched. But, if we ramp up the force and duration of our thought power, meaning if we change our thoughts and think those thoughts often, we can shift our experiences almost immediately in direct correlation to the effort we put forth. In the process of doing so, we cannot tolerate negativity, doubt, fear, or skepticism, because these are the seeds of your old belief. If you let these destructive thoughts in, you will only plant more beliefs that will need to be chopped down.
The power of thought is not difficult to summon when you understand how it works. The right thoughts to think are always the thoughts that produce good feelings. What is the ideal version of you? Take aim with your thoughts. Think big! Think often!
