Thanks for sharing this. "Love to think and get rich" I also like it.

Is it same with what i thinks?focusing time and energy to our positive side not on negative one, for instance if I have more knowledge and interest on computer, just focus on it and don't force to like agriculture. let others do that, because we've an unique advantages in our self and become an expert in that field.. (sorry for bad english)

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind."
William James
US Pragmatist philosopher & psychologist (1842 - 1910)

Thoughts are things. You must change the way you think about something first and then you will change that "thing" into something you want, not something you don't.

Life is very black or white...people complicate it by the way they react to it.

Live your Dream!

I think we all need to find out what we are passionate about in life and then focus on that with 100% attention. Sometimes we tend to spread ourselves too thin and try to be a 'jack of all trades'.

When we follow our intuition and spend time doing the things we love, amazing things start to happen in all areas of our lives!

Ask yourself these questions: Does your work on the internet inspire you? Are you passionate about it? Would you continue to do it if there was no monetary reward? What would you do if you had 10 million dollars in the bank and never had to work another day? The answer to this question will determine what you need to focus on!

When we find something that we are passionate about, something that really inspires us, the money starts to flow!

Good Morning Warriors

I too came to the same conclusion upon my path of self awareness of the laws of attraction but it did not come through a specific book par say. It came from paying attention and observing life in general and recognizing the patterns, signs and symbols that represent much more than meets the eye. In acknowledging the influences that affect us on every level of our beingness we can begin to formulate an idea of how energy works. Just like you mentioned Brad with your comment on thoughts being energy and manifest whatever you've been focusing upon with those thoughts, be it good or bad. This is what I also spend a great deal of time trying to help teach and counsel other individuals and have for the past 18 or so years. The majority get it, if they stop long enough to really "think about it" but there are some who never will comprehend that concept no matter how much you spell it out for them and this is due to their limiting beliefs and negative outlook that consistently sabotages their lives.

You provided some great analogies in regards to the energetic effect our thoughts have on our reality. I would like to add an additional analogy to the mix to help maybe provide some clarity through expanding our perception to realizing truly how powerful we are; energetically speaking.

I know most people have heard of the ripple effect and that is very much the case here I want to point out. Think of life as a still pond, if you throw a rock into that pond then there is going to be a rippling effect that will ultimately affect everything in it's wake. Our thoughts are the stone in this analogy. Our actions also can be likened to the stone because our thoughts and our actions both equally have a great impact upon not only our experiences but also how much of impact our thoughts and actions can have on not just ourselves but also the world around us. Just like the old Native adage, "What we do to another, we also do unto ourselves."

Our minds are a wonderful tool that is more powerful than we truly can perceive in it's entirety. The Law of Attraction isn't something new, it's existed since the beginning of time; an inherent knowing within our subconscious minds that is aware of the universal laws and alchemical processes that really are occurring on every aspect and level or our beingness. The fact is very few will ever tap into it's fullest potential because of their limiting belief systems or persistent harping, moaning and groaning about everything that's wrong in their life. Negativity is like a rotten apple, it will decay and spoil all the other apples around it if you do not get rid of it. What I mean by that is if you are harboring a negative thought consistently you are just adding fuel to the fire to permeate an even bigger magnet to attract more negative issues to have to contend with.

For example, say you are the type of person who tends to hold a grudge. At first, it was probably just you were upset with the person you felt who did you wrongly. If you never do anything about the problem other than set around stewing over this person and what they did then all you're doing is causing those negative feelings to become more charged with your thoughts and feelings and as time goes by it is likely that you'll actually end up hating that person or trying to seek some form of revenge. All of those things mentioned have negatively charged energetic patterns to them. What once was just a thought has now become fueled with emotion and intention to possibly do harm or belittle the individual who has wronged you. Some people never take it that far but then again some individuals totally snap one day due to these types of negatively based thoughts and end up becoming irrational and harming others in the process. As an example the disgruntled postal worker who comes to work one day and starts shooting everybody in sight.

These negatively charged feelings begin transforming inside of an individual and eventually that entire situation will negatively impact the individuals but also it's effect will ripple out affecting others as well. It's like a sore that keeps festering and festering until it has no choice but to erupt. That is what is basically happening with all of these negative thoughts and feelings that is being held onto. In our exploration of understanding how to positively utilize our thoughts to improve our circumstances, we also must look at what is hidden within ourselves often times repressed and undealt with emotions and feelings. These also produce a negative attraction drawing energy unto itself. As a result can also hinder one's ability to manifest their desires.

It's not just the thoughts that is needed to be looked at, it is also everything that is within an individual as well that is useless, nonproductive and nothing more than emotional and mental debris that can and will hinder us. All of the out-dated belief systems as well fall into this category. None of it serves any purpose other than to sabotage us and create further hinderances. If a person is filled with all of this garbage and crap that has been laying wasting away within us in essence begins to spoil even the good parts and negatively impact an individual. Often times these are the people who have become hardened and calloused in life and are filled with great unhappiness. What I'm getting at here is a cup that is already full has no more room for anything else.

Even if you are drawing all of these positive things into your life, if you are filled with a bunch of emotional baggage, mental debris & out-dated beliefs that serve no real purpose then you will still be limiting yourself in manifesting your desires because you're already filled to the brim with all this other stuff that's taking up space and needs to be released. To fully benefit and understand how the Law of Attraction works and reach our potential as co-creators, we too have to do more than just change our thinking patterns. Yes that is a major step in the right direction but also it calls for us to reflect within ourselves and truly discover what is within us. What is spoiling our ability to manifest the things in our lives that are in alignment with our needs and desires?

Looking within and discerning what all is really going on will give us a better understanding of the patterns and vicious cycles we have created for ourselves. When we learn to look at not just how we think but how we react to situations then we can better understand why our lives are the way they are and through this type of self exploration, we learn how to release that debris within ourselves that is just taking up precious space. There are many ways and methods to attracting abundance into our lives. Everything is symbolic of our intentions, fueled by our emotions and thoughts thereby manifesting our desires. In the spiritual community, a lot of individuals during the New Moon will utilize a technique called Abundance Checks to help manifest more positive abundance and blessings into their lives by either taking a check or piece of paper written out exactly like a standard check and place their name in the Pay to the order of field. In the dollar amount they write Paid In Full. Where you'd write out the actual dollar amount, they put Unlimited Abundance and Blessings and then sign it The Universe. It is done during the New Moon because it's energies represent new beginnings and are very powerful energies to work with. In this small way, they are placing their intentions for the universe to provide their needs and further attract the positive abundance they are seeking. It's all in the intention, thoughts and beliefs associated with that practice.

I know from experience that on the months that I do an Abundance Check then my needs are better met and better opportunities find their way to me. On the months I forget to do it, then it is very noticeable and there seems to be more struggles and a much harder month making ends meat than in months I successfully take the few minutes to do this. So my point is there is a million different ways to attract abundance in your life but if you're limiting yourself by your thinking and beliefs or you're so filled with all the negative debris within you're still going to be struggling. Be creative, it's all in the intentions you set forth and the focus and energy you give a thought no matter what it is as to it's manifested reality.

Like the one gentlemen mentioned about The Secret and how the main key was totally left out and that is taking action towards achieving your goals. You can wish for a million years to be a multi-billionaire but if you're just going to set on the couch everyday doing nothing to actively take steps towards achieving that goal nothing productive with come of it. Just like someone complaining there's no jobs but fail to ever pick up a paper or go out and put in applications. Unless you actively take steps to make something happen it's just not likely to occur the way you'd like it to. When I first watched The Secret, I honestly was not impressed. It wasn't really a secret they didn't tell me anything I hadn't already figured out in my own quest of learning about energy and how you can utilize it to your benefit positively. Truthfully that information has been known to witches, shamans and other earth-based religions/cultures for centuries. It's just frowned upon because it reflects something outside of what is considered the "norm".

The reason it has been hidden from the mass majority of individuals throughout the centuries is because people would take advantage of that knowledge and utilize it for negative means to control, manipulate and bring suffering unto others thereby abusing that power. It is for this reason that only privileged individuals and an elite few knew about the Law of Attraction and harnessing the power of thoughts and focus to bring about desired results because those individuals were completely aware and took responsibility for their thoughts and actions. Now that knowledge is more widespread with the monetization of a universal law; like it's some big secret

There are active steps that need to be taken in order to fully manifest our potential and desired results. No matter what your situation is, if you are not making any progress then there is some stagnation going on within your life. You are at a standstill, there is no movement. That is the rut that Brad is talking about. There has to be some gesture on your part to move forward. And that comes in the form of taking action. Once you've taken some form of action (even a little is better than none!) then you must follow through despite any obstacles, you must forge ahead and apply yourself thereby energetically your intentions are attracting opportunities for you to manifest the desired goal so that you may reap the benefits.

Energy is just energy, constantly moving. It requires focus and intentions to give the energy direction so that it may gather more momentum and bring about those opportunities that are in alignment with your desires. So it's more involved than just your thoughts, energy is everywhere it exists in everything, pay attention to how it works in nature and in your own life and by doing so it will help you more fully understand how to best utilize it positively to it's highest potential.

WOW, great post Leslie! There are some amazing insights and analogies in your post, I highly recommend everyone to take the time read it!

Cheers, Brad

misterpines · 11-05-2009, 12:52 PM

What really is the difference between thoughts and reality? They are both made of the same things. Why would they not interact? I am not sure if that makes sense or not, but it seems so simple that people miss it.

Michael Thai · 11-05-2009, 05:13 PM

Great and powerful post Brad !!!

Hermas and BubbasBits I totally agree with you guys

Thoughts influence actions which in turn influence results. I came to the same conclusion while playing golf instead of reading a book. You must have seen golf players standing behing the ball on the tee and imagining the flight of the ball as they want it. Believe me, more often than not, it happens the way it had been imagined.
On the other hand, whenever my ball was in the rough, with a bush or a tree in front and I thought to myself, " it is a bad lie and the ball is likely to hit the tree", believe me that is what always happens.
Think positive.
