Is the Power of Thought Real?
Endowed With Omnipotence: The Power of Your Thoughts Illuminiated, written by Christina Bialas will be available in bookstores late Fall 2012.
The power of thought works flawlessly, but only appears to be a hit-or-miss power when the power is misunderstood. The power of thought works in exact correlation to your predominant thoughts and beliefs. Reality is the manifestations of your beliefs. Consequently, whatever you believe to be a true aspect about your life is experienced (such as I believe I am in financial despair, lonely, or ill). Beliefs are effective discriminators of information and will draw upon you evidence that supports the existing belief. The evidence perceived or reality produced, then serves to further validate the belief, of the effect the evidence seems real. We then become stuck in thought corkscrews which cause us to think, create an effect, and then believe the effect to be true. This process is cyclical unless it is interrupted.
The power of thought is real. We only come to doubt the power when we think we can send out a positively constructed thought or two in an attempt to overthrow our current belief system. The power of thought does not work that way. The power of thought manifests reality according to your predominant thoughts and beliefs, so any attempt to change an experience has to include a change to your beliefs. A handful of fresh new thoughts simply will not do.
Your strongest beliefs and reality are one. Reality only appears truthful because you have created both the illusion and validation of the illusion. This is similar to hanging a clock on your wall and claiming that clock on your wall is evidence that time exists. Financial disparity, health problems, and lack are all created and supported in much the same manner. The situation is created by your thoughts, and then the situation is pointed to as proof of existence of the condition. In order to change an experience in life, the pattern of think, create the effect, believe the effect must be exchanged for a more constructive pattern.
Every possible experience is available to you right now (prosperity, health, abundance, and happiness). In order to connect with certain experiences, you must focus on the attributes of that experience. For example, you cannot experience prosperity when lack is focused upon. Remember, what we believe, we perceive and what we perceive, we believe.
Think of the game, I Spy. Think of everything that exists in the game, such as a feather, a pink super ball, a steel nail, a yellow duck, and so forth. When playing I Spy, certain objects are immediately perceived, like the pink super ball, yet hours can be spent searching for the yellow duck. Our perception of reality is filtered in much the same way. We concentrate on certain aspects of reality to the exclusion of other aspects. The aspects that we focus on are our beliefs. Consequently, our beliefs blind us quite effectively to other aspects of reality. In a sense, we compress our focus so keenly on certain areas (life experiences) that we are blind to other experiences.
Experiences change when our focus (thoughts and beliefs) is withdrawn from one area and shifted to another. Compared to I Spy, one cannot find the yellow duck if one is not willing to shift focus. Consider what would happen if one by one objects were covered up. Eventually, the yellow duck would appear. Understand that the yellow duck was there all along. The duck only seems to be missing when focus is not directed towards it. Similarly, your perception of reality blocks an abundant life from migrating to you when abundance is kept out of focus and lack is concentrated on.
Reality is like a game of I Spy. The power of thought manifests our beliefs, without fail and without exception. If lack and abundance are I Spy pawns in the game of life, and lack is focused on, prosperity has not chance of emerging. To change an experience, your focus (thoughts) must be withdrawn from areas in which change is desired, and placed instead on an ideal outcome. This is the difference between concentrating on the pink super ball and specifically looking for the yellow duck.
Changing your focus is a four step process.
(1) Identify the ideal outcome in an area of your life that change is desired. State exactly what you want to occur. Be clear. Do not settle for comprises, hopeful outcomes or best case scenarios. Be courageous. Be bold. Think big. Know exactly what it is you want in life. Write it down.
(2) Don't restrict your ideals to daydreams. Grease your mind with thoughts so results can take shape. Picture yourself having that outcome, being abundant, or becoming well. Think big. Think often.
(3) Take action! Action cannot be taken out of the equation. Thoughts need action for validation. Recall at the beginning of this blog, I said that beliefs are effective discriminators of information. I also said that we experience our beliefs. The only way to change your beliefs is by taking action on new thoughts. Action builds the foundation of a new belief. Everything that exists does so because of action taken in follow up to your thoughts. The television sitting in your living room, your relationships, your house, or the car in your driveway exist because physical action was taken with your body. The conscious mind relies on the physical body to take action on the thoughts that are to be physically experienced. The body is your only instrument in the physical world. Leave the body out of the equation, and physical reality cannot be experienced. So to that effect, you must include the physical body in your plan to change outcomes. Being uncertain as to what action to take is normal. Do not overwhelm yourself with thoughts of uncertainty as to what action to take. Do anything. Read a book. Take a car for a test drive. Write the first paragraph of a book. Schedule an appointment. Once action begins, additional thoughts will occur which will propel you along.
(4) The final step in effectuating change requires banishing from your thoughts all forms of negativity, doubt, skepticism, and fear. Think again of our I Spy game. All forms of negative thinking compress thoughts on what already is, in the case of I Spy, our focus remains on the pink super ball. Essentially then we tell ourselves, the yellow duck does not exist because I cannot see the yellow duck. Your experience cannot expand if compression occurs.
The first step to success starts with the two words, I can!
