Don’t Focus On What You Don’t Want

Friday, March 5th, 2010

And as a spin-off from yesterday’s post, I also want to make sure that you don’t focus your energy and attention on knowing what you don’t want. Sure, there are things that you don’t want to have and experience in your life, but don’t focus on that – instead focus on the opposite of that. So if you don’t want to be alone, focus on having friends; if you don’t want to be broke, focus on abundance.

As you may have heard, the Universe cannot interpret the negative of anything. Not wanting something and wanting something is vibrationally identical because you are still energized about that something. Essentially the Universe takes the absolute value of the things you are talking about. Another concept to note is that your subconscious cannot tell the difference between the energy directed at yourself and energy directed at someone else. So if you are calling someone an idiot, it is the ‘idiot’ that is perceived, and not that it is someone else that you are actually talking about. Maybe this is why many wise people have said that you should send love out to everyone else – maybe it is so that you interpret it as love for yourself?

Now you may find this concept rather obvious, but I still hear a lot of people tell me with much greater ease what they do not want instead of what they do want. You’ll ask them what they want next year to be, and they say “I don’t know…I know that I don’t want to lose my job though”. Umm…OK. With that attitude, you just might…

So what do you want? Take the weekend to ponder that question!

Until Monday,

Spiritual Mind Treatment (2010.03.01)

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Take these words as your own if you wish:

I know that there is one Universe and one thing happening – the eternal flow of Energy in the endless energetic field of the Universe. I know that this is a vibrational Universe as all Energy vibrates and that any vibration attracts to it other like vibrations. This is the fundamental Law of the Universe that is impartial, impersonal, and has no judgment. The Law only knows how to work and it does so each and every time. Knowing that, at the basic level, I am one with the endless energetic field of the Universe, I also know that everyone exists in this field. Being made, at the very basic level, of the same Energy as everyone else, I know that what is available to one is available to me. As I recognize that very Truth, I know that my results are directly proportional to my understanding, internalization, and action upon this Truth. My potential is truly unlimited and I act from that place each day. Being one with all, I expect my consciousness to grow in order to encompass this reality more and more and I also expect my results to follow suit. I feel unconditional gratitude for my life, my consciousness, and for my ability to create. I release my amped vibrations into the Universe and into the Law knowing that it is already done. And so it is!

Spiritual Mind Treatment (2010.02.22)

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Join me in knowing that, at the fundamental level, Energy is the only thing in existence. Energy cannot be created or destroyed and it is everywhere at all times. The flow of Energy is governed by the precise Law that is impartial, impersonal, and lacks judgment; it can only take the input of vibration and mirror it back into the physical realm, and it does so immediately, each and every time. Knowing that I am Energy, I also know that all are that very same Energy. Being made, at the very basic level, of the same Energy as everyone else, I know that what is available to one is available to all and is also available to me. As I recognize that very Truth, I know that my results are limited only by my beliefs and actions, and not by my potential which is, for all intents and purposes, unlimited. Being one with all, I expect my consciousness to grow in order to encompass this reality more and more and I also expect my results to follow suit. I feel unconditional gratitude for my life, my consciousness, and for my ability to create. I release my amped vibrations into the Universe and into the Law knowing that it is already done. And so it is!

Meditation vs Treatment

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

If you have been reading my blog for a little while, you’ll know that I start every week off with a Spiritual Mind Treatment. It is taught in the Science of Mind philosophy as the best, thought not the only, tool for recognizing the magnificence of the Universe, our bond with It, and aligning ourselves with the Universe so that we can live in harmony.

Meditation is another tool that is taught in this philosophy and it becomes part of a daily practice. There are many studies documenting the benefits of meditation, so it is nice to have some science behind it. Meditation, however, serves a very different purpose.

In this philosophy, treatment and meditation form a line of communication, for lack of a better word, with the Universal Subconscious. In treatment you essentially declare what you want to manifest in life; you create a mold for the Universe to fill. In meditation, on the other hand, you listen for any feedback that may come in the form of feelings, inspirations, or something else that can give you a clue as to what you may need to do in order to accomplish your goal. So to put it in a form of an analogy, treatment is talking and is active in nature while meditation is listening and is passive in nature.

I do realize that there are many different types of meditation. There are many active meditations that can be considered treatments, like when you visualize your ideal life. The meditation that I am talking about here is the type of meditation where you try to quiet your mind and get rid of your thoughts. And, of course, there are a number of meditations in between.

Until next time,

Spiritual Mind Treatment (2010.02.15)

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Join me in knowing that there is only one thing happening – the eternal flow of Energy that is behind all things visible and invisible, an Energetic flow that is guided by Intelligence and governed by the Universal Law. This Energy is the only thing that was, is, and ever will be, it is everywhere at all times, and it is more abundant than I can even comprehend. The Law is impersonal, always at work, and always responding to the vibrations of thought and feeling, irrespective of the source of those vibrations and not preoccupied with the outcome. I know that since Energy is all that is, then I too must be that Energy and in Principle am linked with the entire Energetic field of the Universe, in spite of objectively living as a separate individualization. Since I am linked to the whole Energetic field, and since I am intelligent, I know I can guide the flow of Energy by planting thoughts and feelings into Law. So here and now, in this very moment, I create a blue-print for my life by releasing the vibrational equivalent of happiness, joy, health, abundance, prosperity, and love. I know that as I release these wonderful vibrations, I can only, by Law, attract into my experience the circumstances, people, and events that are congruent with my blue-print. Anything and anyone that seemingly stands in the way is automatically dissolved and dissipated by the very same Law, so that all that is left is a clear, unobstructed path for me to take. I am deeply grateful for my recognition, understanding, and internalization of the Truth and of the Universal Principles. I release my blue-print into that Energetic field and am thankful for knowing that it is already so in the Absolute and is already in the process of physically manifesting in the most harmonious way possible. I accept and expect it to be so. And so it is.

Analyzing And Re-Programming The Subconscious Mind

Friday, February 12th, 2010

Earlier I talked about the majority of our thoughts being subconscious. And although we can attract more experiences into our lives through the power of trained conscious thought, at the end of the day, conscious thoughts are vastly outnumbered by the subconscious thoughts. This is precisely why I think that analyzing our subconscious programming and re-working it is so vital.

This, of itself, is a monstrous topic that has whole books written about it, so I will not be able to go into a lot of detail in this post. I will direct your attention to one area of your life, and that is your childhood, which is the time where most subconscious programming takes place as your mind is wide open. To get a better understanding of what kind of subconscious programming you have about a given subject, like money or relationships, try to remember the things you have heard, seen, and experienced in relation to that very topic when you were a child.

You may think that you have a positive outlook on intimate relationships, but if you saw your parents fight all the time and saw people getting divorced, that is what you have stored in your subconscious, and that is what you are very likely to bring into your own experience as well. You may think that your attitude towards money is supportive of your goals, but if you have heard as a child things like ‘money is a root of all evil’, ‘we can’t afford that’, and ‘rich people are crooks’, then you will have very hard time achieving financial abundance in your life.

So think about your childhood and that should shed some light on your subconscious mind.

Trained Thought

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Yesterday I talked about how the vast majority of our thoughts, over 95% of them to be more precise, go through our minds completely unnoticed and uncontrolled. But I also mentioned that this does not mean that we only have 5% control over our lives. The good thing is that a trained thought has much more energy behind it, and thus more power, than an untrained thought.

If you have ever played ‘tug o’ war’, then you’ll know that you get much more power when everyone pulls together. Trained thoughts have a similar effect. If you are not paying any attention to your conscious mind, then your consciousness is responsible for about 5% of your experiences. Under this arrangement, effectively all the thoughts, conscious and subconscious, are pulling at the rope at random.

Exercising trained thought is like having everyone pull on the rope at the same time from the conscious side, while having the subconscious thoughts pulling on the rope without any organization. There will still be a lot of experiences created by your subconscious mind, but suddenly you will find that you have more and more influence on your life as you put some power behind your conscious thoughts.

Until next time,

95% / 5%

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

We have about 70,000 thoughts every single day. Over 95% of those thoughts are subconscious, meaning that you are not even aware of them. The subconscious mind is truly the driving force behind your experiences, which is why addressing the deep-rooted beliefs is such a powerful exercise. I mean, think about it, if every thought has a frequency associated with it, and every frequency attracts to it things, events, and circumstances of the same vibrational frequency, then 95% of what you are attracting, you are not even aware of.

I believe that the subconscious thoughts are responsible for majority of our lives and for all those things that make you say, “I never thought about that, so why is it showing up?”. The subconscious thoughts attract into our experience things that seem to be totally random and not connected to our conscious thoughts. But remember, it is not just out conscious mind that creates our experiences, it is our entire consciousness. And that is one of the most powerful distinctions that I have ever made for myself.

But since only 5% of our thoughts are conscious, does that mean that we can never truly be in control of our lives? If I had only 5% share in a company, it would be very difficult to take the company in the direction that I want it to go. Thankfully the fact that we are only aware of 5% of our thoughts, does not mean that we can only have 5% control. But more on that later!

Until next time,

Spiritual Mind Treatment (2010.02.08)

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Join me in knowing that…

There is really only one thing happening, and it is the eternal flow of Energy. Energy is the fundamental ’substance’ aback of all things. Mountains, lakes, trees, animals, air, humans, and everything else is made up, at the very basic level, of Energy. Energy cannot be created and it cannot be destroyed – it was always and forever will be – and it can only shift and change form in accord with the Laws of the Universe. I know that I am no exception and am too made of the same Energy as everyone and everything else in this Universe. I also know, accept, and expect that my thoughts, feelings, and beliefs sculpt the experience of my life in accord with the Universal Law of Attraction. I recognize that my thoughts and my feelings have a frequency associated with them and that that frequency is attractive in its nature and that it attracts to it things of the same frequency. I know that once I release a certain frequency, it is turned over to the Law and always comes back in kind. The action of the Law is impersonal and it is perfect. The action of the Law cannot be stopped, it cannot be suppressed, depressed, or coerced – it can only be directed by the frequencies I constantly release. I know that because of my recognition of the Truth, my consciousness has no option but to grow and to expand in order to make space for creation and execution of a bigger idea for my life – that of abundance, love, happiness, joy, health, and wellness. I speak my words, implant them into Truth, plant them in Mind, which is my mind and All Mind, and I expect and accept the immediate and perfect action of the Law. I am deeply grateful for my recognition, appreciation, and understanding of this Law and for the magnificent life that I have created. I turn my thoughts over to the care of the Universal Mind and know that it is already done in the Absolute. And so it is!

Until next time,

Which Reality Is Real?

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Well, the physical one – the one you can see, taste, touch, and experience! Right? Not exactly. In one of the Science of Mind classes, one of the facilitators, Dr. Kenn Gordon, pointed out the the physical world – the world where we know lack, limitation, and boundaries – is an illusion, while what people typically see as the ‘dream world’ – the place where everything is possible – is the Truth.

This can be a difficult idea to wrap your head around, but if you really think about it, you’ll realize that it’s actually the case. Now, I am not really talking about a world where you can fly, walk on water, and eat fire as being the real thing. We do, after all, live in a world with numerous laws which are all at work simultaneously. What I am talking about is how our experience of reality is fundamentally false because this experience is shaped by our beliefs.

Think of your beliefs as the electrical wiring in your house. While it is entirely possible to supply your house with much higher voltages and pump through much more current through the wires, if you were to do that, you would blow out your fuses, and failing that, would fry the entire electrical system and probably burn down your house. The electrical system that the house was built with physically limits the potential electrical power that you can put through it from the start. For you to pump more power through the system, you would need to re-wire the entire house (and find the appropriate power source). But if you always lived in that house and never heard about larger voltages and more powerful electrical currents, you’d think that 110V is all that is possible. But you know better than that.

Determining what is possible based on your current beliefs and the experience of life to date is, in my opinion, equivalent to saying that the wiring in your house is the end-all and the be-all of electrical potential. What I want to get across is that there is always a potential for more. You just need to re-wire your head with some beliefs that can candle the added juice of Life!

Until next time,
