Three Steps to Manifesting – Thoughts, Emotions, Action

Do you know how powerful your thoughts really are? Are you fully aware that these thoughts, all 50,000 per day, are singularly the most powerful influences on everything that happens to you in your life and are the reson you have attracted the people you know, the house you live in and the car you drive?

In fact the sum total of everyone’s thoughts is the very thing that shapes everything that exists, everything that has existed, and everything that will ever exist. You may ask then “if this is true then shouldn’t it be possible to bring into existence anything we desire?”

Well the short simple answer is YES!

It is through the power of deliberate thought that we can create. While thought alone does have the power to bring tangible (cars, houses, boats) and intangible (peace, harmony and joy) things into existence often times this is not enough! Intention, or directed thinking and believing, is enough to create powerful enough thoughts to manifest anything we want but you must also add two other ingredients.

Firstly, your thoughts must be backed by emotion. The more powerful the emotion – the stronger the thought. It is essential to create within you the same feelings that you will have when you actually achieve your desire. You actually do this all the time only in the opposite direction. For example, you think of what you are afraid may happen and all of a sudden you feel frightened, tense and may even start to exhibit some physiological symptoms such as sweating or shaking or just get the shivers. Begin to reverse this method of thinking. Think only of what you do want and conjure up the feelings associated with that. How will it feel to meet and marry that perfect person? How will it feel behind the wheel of that new Mercedes or in the kitchen of that new home?

The second key ingredient of the three is action! It is neccessary to be prepared to take some action. This is a key point that many personal development gurus leave out! The action that you need to take will not be strenuous or a toil, it will be enjoyable and feel right to you.

Each of us here on the planet plays their own special role in the complete operation of the Universe. We are all One, interconnected and interdependent. Your desires will almost always come through some form of action and through connection to other people.

Your thoughts do have the power to completely change your life and circumstances. When thoughts are backed by emotion they become an unstoppable force that will carry you to wherever you want to go in life. But you must be willing to take the steps towards your desires when these steps are presented to you. For example thinking and believing you will meet your soul mate will bring you vast opportunities for meeting him/her but you never will if you sit at home all day and do not venture outside! You may find that you begin to get asked to go to places more often or get invited to a place you have never been before. You may even accidently meet old friends or develop new friendships. This is the Universe setting you on a path to your desires. Take that invitation. Even if it is something you have no desire to do or somewhere you do not want to go, you should accept the invitation. Who knows who you may meet or where you may end up!

So remember, ingredient 1 – thoughts have power. Ingredient 2 – thoughts backed by strong emotion and belief can change the very Universe and create ANYTHING you want. And the lastly ingredient 3 – action is the last key ingredient to bringing about your desires and living the life of your dreams. Now get out there and start to CREATE!

Law of Attraction -Expect the Best, and get it!

When it comes to abundance and prosperity, expectations are vitally important.  The Law of Attraction teaches us that we tend to receive exactly what we expect in life.  Why is this?  How do expectations work with the Law of Attraction?

If you’ve studied the Law of Attraction at all, you know that your thoughts and emotions release an energetic frequency out to the Universe.  Whatever is vibrating at this same frequency will be pulled into your reality.  If you emit low vibrations like anger, fear, or cynicism, you will attract corresponding experiences and events.  If you emit high vibrations like joy, love, and passion, you will again attract corresponding experiences and events.

Another important part of this process, however, involves your expectations.  Perhaps you can remember expecting something that did indeed happen.  Sometimes we do this in a positive way: “Today is going to be a great day, I just know it!” and sometimes we do it in a negative way: “Ugh – today is going to be ‘one of those days’.”

Expectations can be powerful, especially if they are backed up with firm conviction and unwavering faith.

Below you’ll find some simple tips to help you learn to expect the best – and get it!

• First, you must choose to expect the best in every situation.  This will be challenging if you don’t have full control of your thoughts yet.  If you haven’t developed a strong focus, you’ll probably keep vacillating back and forth between random thoughts and focused thoughts until you train your mind.  Simply keep at it!  Keep saying things like, “I know this is going to work out for the best,” or “I know I will turn this situation to my advantage somehow,” or “I expect the best and the best always comes to me!”
• Avoid negative talk like the plague.  By “negative talk” I mean complaining, arguing, or doom predictions – anything that drags down your emotions and contradicts your positive expectations.  If other people try to engage you in negative talk, you may have to be firm to avoid it.  You might also need to limit the amount of time you spend with negative people.  Try to always phrase your statements in a positive way.  Instead of saying, “This won’t be easy,” say, “I can handle this.”
• KNOW that your expectation will come true.  You may wonder how to “know” when you really don’t know yet!  If it hasn’t happened yet, how can you be sure it will?  This type of knowing is based solely on faith.  You are CHOOSING to know.  It might take awhile to get comfortable with this, but once you do it becomes a lot easier.  In order to really know, you’re going to have to completely banish doubt and disbelief from your mind.  When they pop up, simply push them out of your mind and affirm again that you KNOW your expectation will happen.

These three simple things can make a world of difference in your ability to attract what you want, and when the actualizations start showing up in your life, you’ll be able to add that much more faith and confidence to your expectations – which will make them still more effective!

Quantum Physics and the Law of Attraction

By Tom Montalk
I would like to give a parallel explanation based on my studies in physics and metaphysics. While “opposites attract” is a fundamental law of physics, as demonstrated by opposite electric or magnetic poles attracting, “like attracts like” is another fundamental law as evidenced by like masses attracting each other gravitationally despite both having positive mass. Even in social dynamics, we have opposites attracting each other as in male/female or aggressor/victim, yet also likes attracting such as people with similar attitudes and interests coming together. As the saying goes, “birds of a feather flock together.” Both laws exist, it’s just a question of which law is true in which case. The Law of Attraction refers to attraction of similar things through resonance or mutually congruent vibration. It is like two equal tuning forks, a vibration of one will subtly induce vibration in the other nearby and vice versa until both vibrate together in unison. Thoughts and feelings, beyond being biochemical impulses, are electromagnetic patterns of energy that will externally resonate and attract that which corresponds to it.

As for cause and effect, remember that causality falls apart on the quantum level. Everything above the quantum level can be predicted mathematically because for every cause there is a calculable effect, but at the quantum level there is indeterminacy. This quantum uncertainty means the future is open to choice, for a freewill choice cannot be calculated in advance otherwise it would not be freewill. The tangible world we know sits atop a quantum foundation, and although we see cause-effect all around us, sometimes cause itself is preceded by choice. It’s like a DVD collection of movies — you cannot change the content of the movie at whim because it is final from beginning to end, but you can choose a different movie.

There is something more fundamental than physical causality, and it is consciousness, freewill, thoughts, and emotions working through the agent of unpredictable quantum fluctuations. Mind is active on the imaginary plane and shapes or gives rise to the real (physical) plane. That is a higher order causality, one where mind shapes matter. By guiding your thoughts and feelings, you are simply influencing which “DVDs” (probable futures) are selected to be played next. Summary: consciousness shapes the statistical behavior of quantum systems.

Freewill is the only constraint upon the Law of Attraction. You cannot make another do what he or she chooses against. And you cannot always override some prior choice you made. That which your heart desires is most easy to manifest. That which your baser impulses or social programming desires will meet some resistance. This is because the Law of Attraction works through the higher part of you that chooses a certain “curriculum” for how your life progresses, and any frivolous desires that interfere with this are minor attempts to violate your own higher freewill; that higher self does not have to stoop to the whims of your lower self. When people desire to be filthy rich or idolized pop stars, where is that impulse coming from? If from the heart, then it will fall into place. If not from the heart, then little chance of it working.

If freewill is respected all around, then your intent can manifest easily. Rather than forcing someone unwillingly to bend to the intent of another, the Law of Attraction works through anyone available who is in the position to assist and does not resist. So it’s more a “call for volunteers” than a forced manipulation of another, but with the huge complexity of our world and all the people in it, there is bound to be something, someone, somewhere that answers the call.

The point of all this is that the principles outlined in “The Secret” are based on experience, principles you can prove to yourself again and again until you are convinced that, under proper conditions, probability is being bent like a paper clip to accommodate your intent. And more, the Law of Attraction confirms, rather than contradicts, the principles of physics. One may discard the idea, but hopefully after understanding it first. Give the Law of Attraction a chance… there is nothing to lose and everything to gain.
