You create your whole world from your thoughts
“You create your whole world from your thoughts. Say,
Believe and be Open to Receiving…Everyone creates realities based on their own
personal beliefs. These beliefs are so powerful that they can create [expansive
or entrapping] realities over and over.”-Kuan Yin
Is the law of attraction magic? In the 19th century there
was a movement in the scientific community called Vitalism. Certain Biologists
of this era believed there was an element or characteristic in a living cell
that disappeared when the cell died. They believed that just beyond the moment
of death when biochemical constituents had not yet fully decomposed, there was,
nevertheless, some vital element missing; what was in Vitalism often referred
to as the "vital spark", "energy" or "élan
vital". In modern Eastern medicine this mysterious energy in living
organisms is called qi or prana.
Levels of energy are predominantly linked to human beliefs,
intentions and desires and are the driving forces from which we, as limitless
beings, achieve physical manifestation in all of its complexities. I’ve spent
at several decades teaching the law of attraction: how beliefs, intention and
emotional patterns can play a central role in the creation of personal reality.
While we have absolute free will to evolve beyond this, the dynamics of similar
objects and events being magnetized to similar energy levels tends to steer us
towards specific internal characteristics and worldviews reflective of former
karmic traits and abilities.
Now, it might seem kinder for someone to say, “Bad things
happen to good people—it has nothing to do with you”; implying that there is no
real order to the universe (or to your life). Such a statement could, however,
reinforce the concept that you are not in control; that you are powerless to
heal any limiting patterns. Societal and personal mindsets, though, can often
be related to specific beliefs and emotions and their corresponding energy
levels. Throughout the ages, many Masters have referred to this as the law of
attraction.
Buddha said: “All that we are, is the result of what we have
thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man
speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that
never leaves him”. And Jesus of Nazareth stated: “I am come that they might
have life, and that they might have it more abundantly…Ask, and it shall be
given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For
every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that
knocketh it shall be opened”.
This law is also ostensibly supported by emerging scientific
discoveries demonstrating humans to be hardwired for creating their own
destiny. “Yes, you create your reality. Focus! Certain Masters want you to
learn to do this…Imagine the possibilities of something greater than is right
here!”-Kuan Yin
Imagine the mind as being located at its own carved-out
point in the universe; facing in a specific direction. Nevertheless, it has the
ability to comprehend (at some profound level) all that extends outward beyond
any supposed mental or physical sensory-imposed boundaries.
Having a 360-degree vantage point, the conscious mind, while
perhaps not always recognizing its own depth of awareness (perhaps deliberately
ignoring other mental input), has the potential to evaluate all content within
the slower alpha, theta and delta mind bandwidths as well as the faster gamma
mind bandwidth. Like currents in the ocean propelling movement of an iceberg,
these fluctuating brainwaves form the underlying mechanical scaffolding for
human consciousness.
This mental scaffolding ultimately supports the Reasoning
and Manifest Minds; those seemingly polar opposite assumptive mindsets. You are
probably familiar with the mindset that is mostly skeptical of anything that is
not measurable or provable in physical terms. That, of course, is the Reasoning
Mind. At the other end of the spectrum is the Manifest Mind; that seemingly
more expansive part of self which is open to new ideas and possibilities.
While humans have the capability to dream and even go into
trance, ego tends to give more validity to its waking experience. This
preference can (when skillfully utilized) create the perfect arena for
attracting our most desired reality through daily affirmation and
visualization. Many, though, may still have questions about how the Reasoning
and Manifest Minds can work together for personal success.
Once, I had a revealing and surprisingly straightforward
dream about the nature of these two distinct approaches to reality. In it, I
experienced my hand somehow reaching through a solid pane of glass.
Effortlessly choosing which items I wanted from the other side, I was then able
to pull them onto my side of the glass. The very second my ‘Reasoning Mind’
began doubting the validity of my Manifest Mind—insisting that that the glass
impediment was real; I was no longer able to penetrate the glass with my hand.
While I don’t recommend trying to penetrate solid objects
with one’s physical body, I’ve read of those who’ve perfected the art of what
might be called ‘cellular navigation’; penetrating walls, etcetera during
waking reality. I took away from the dream that while the Reasoning Mind
automatically differentiates and is therefore essential for navigating waking
reality, its tendency towards skepticism can severely hinder the holistic
approach of the Manifest Mind.
Because much of waking reality is usually about the
Reasoning Mind’s honing of its problem-solving tools, someone may be reluctant
to accept certain law of attraction teachings as truly pragmatic. And if the
Reasoning Mind is too insistent that certain seemingly ‘physical’ impediments
cannot be overcome by expansive thoughts, mastering the law of attraction may
continue to be elusive.
The Reasoning Mind need not be thought of as antithetical or
somehow prohibitive to successful use of the Manifest Mind, though. Paleolithic
cave paintings depicting (thereby visualizing, affirming and blessing), a
successful hunt demonstrate that during that era, no artificial splits appeared
to exist within their definition of normalcy. Our ancestors seemed able to more
readily incorporate both the Reasoning and Manifest Mind approaches to
reality—that magic is normal, and can therefore be categorized by the Reasoning
Mind as one of the many incredible phenomena occurring here on earth.
