Law of Attraction – Why you think what you think, and how you are always in control September 16, 2009

Why you think what you think is somewhat covered in the Abraham-Hicks work, although there is a finer point to be put on it. A-H frequently says things like, “if you are in despair, you just can’t reach for or find hopeful thoughts or thoughts of appreciation from there.”

Which kind of begs the question about where we are “reaching”  to to find these thoughts.

Folks, in case you are not paying any attention to your thoughts, there is actually a very real and great big stream of consciousness of which we all partake. And you, the vibrational being who emanates specific vibrations – through thought, emotion, and your beingness – you are constantly vibrating in the frequency range of a specific and small part of that huge stream of consciousness.

What does this mean? If you spend all day thinking about tennis – you will easily have access to thoughts and events that revolve around your tennis thoughts. It could be something like noticing four people with broken ankles right after the tennis player you bet your house on lost a match due to a broken ankle. Or if you are angry at someone, you will very easily tune into a range of angry thoughts, including every bad quailty about the person you are angry at…and many other people’s bad qualities as well.

This seems straightforward enough, right?

But one other thing can happen when you are really focused on a subject. And by focused I mean extremely focused, either negatively or positively: extreme anger or extreme joy. When you are focused in an extreme it is not unusual for the thoughts to feel like they are thinking you. That is, thoughts flow into you without your choice…they just flow and flow and flow.

If you hear “crazy” people talk out loud, you can hear that non-volitional stream of thought rolling on through. If you’ve ever experienced a big crush on a boy or girl, you know the feeling of only being able to think about and focus on and talk about that other person…again the non-volitional flow. This is being in the flow of appreciation for that other person.

I think it is extremely important to recognize that almost all the “normal” (which is to say barely conscious)  thoughts you experience in the day are a function of just being tuned in where you are and being in non-volitional receiving mode. This is like weaving a blanket of your future without thinking about it.

I also think it is extremely important to recognize that if you are to become a deliberate creator than you must take hold of your thoughts and begin to offer deliberate thoughts of appreciation for where you are going and not just keep tuning into where you are and thinking the same kind of thoughts everyday and expecting change to occur.

If you were to read those last two paragraphs and truly understand them and then actualize that understanding you could revolutionize your life. Period. It’s that simple.

But ah, the stream of your consciousness – the stream of your habitual patterns of how you have always thought – this stream has it’s own force and power you must overcome.

The only way to overcome it is to force yourself into patterns of appreciation and gratitude. The nice thing is that when you do this for a little while the old patterns soften quickly and then it gets easier and easier to deliberately create and, henceforth to escape your normal patterns.

Deliberate creation then quickly begets more deliberate creation. And like the kid who has just learned to ride a bike, you want to stay on that bike all day every day. You are free and in a very different kind of flow with access to a very different part of the stream of consciousness.
