What's on your mind?

Have you ever tried to visualise your mind? I didn't say "your brain" I said "your mind." That's right, your mind. You can't! It's not a physical thing. It's spiritual. How about that?

And there are two parts to it; the conscious mind and the subconscious mind.

The conscious mind is the part of the mind with which you think. (See one of my earlier blogs on "Thinking".)

The other part, well... more about that later.

In my next blog I want to explore the first part. Then we'll move on to the second.

Are you a thinker?

A noted psychologist once quipped that:

only 2% of us think,
3% of us think we think, and that
95% of us would rather die than think.

Now that may have been an attempt at humour, but even so, I am reminded of the statement, “Whenever you encounter humour, seek out the hidden truth.”

Several years ago I mentioned these figures at a study session I was conducting for a small group of, what I thought, were educated, thinking people. I expected guffaws and laughter as the response.

What I got was absolutely astounding. It was immediate, and angry. Comments like, “What do you mean, I don't think?” and, “Where did you get such stupid statistics?”

To a person, without giving the statement a moment's consideration they had classified themselves as part of the 98% of non-thinkers!

Interesting? Yes?

Thinking...

As Wallace Wattles says in Chapter 4 of his book, The Science of Getting Rich ...

There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state permeates, penetrates and fills the interspaces of the universe.

“A thought in this substance produces the thing that was imaged by the thought.

“Man can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.”

What that means is that you also cause the things you think about to be created. In other words, what you think about you bring about!

Isn't that incredible?

Samantha

Energy Thinks? What next?

So... if thought preceded the creation of the Universe, and the Universe consists solely of energy, does it not follow that this Original Substance, (energy), thinks? What follows from that is that a thought in this Original Substance creates the thing that is imaged by that thought.

That means that everything you see was preceded by thought in this Original Substance!

Thought

Energy, often referred to as”Original Substance”, teems with creativity. It is constantly creating new forms. This formless stuff, from which all things are made, responds to our needs, and it does so through our thoughts. No doubt you have heard of “The Law of Attraction.” If not, get a copy of the book, “The Science of Getting Rich.” It is available by clicking here.

We live in a thought world which is part of a thought Universe. We are surrounded by millions of them every minute of our lives on this planet we call Earth. Thoughts are one of the strongest forms of energy, for it is through thought that things are created. Indeed, everything that has ever been created has been preceded by thought. When you think deeply about it, if that is so, then thought preceded the creation of this Universe. If everything is energy, then it must be a fact that energy is thinking stuff!

How about that?

Samantha

Energy!

Everything in this Universe is made from the same stuff—energy. Pure energy. Everything you see is but pure energy. It's all there is!

And if this is so, what's to say that there isn't enough to go around? We have a Universe full of it! Our galaxy is but one small spot in the Universe. Our planet, Earth, is but a small speck in our galaxy! Think about it. And yet we obsess about the lack of energy! Really!

Nature is an inexhaustible storehouse of riches. The supply will never run out.

I think we should be extremely grateful. Don't you?

Samantha

It really is science!

Yes, indeed. Although you may not believe it, there is a science to getting rich. And like mathematics, it is exact. Just like Newton's laws of motion, there are certain laws governing the process of getting rich. Once you master these laws, and apply them, you will get rich with mathematical certainty.

The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a "Certain Way". If you do things in this "Certain Way" you will get rich.

There is a book entitled "The Science of Getting Rich" written over one hundred years ago by a man named Wallace D. Wattles, laying out, in detail, this "Certain Way", and it is just a valid today as it was back when it was first written. I read from it almost daily and I can tell you, it works!. And yes, copies are still available at The Life Abundant.

Get one today. You won't be sorry.

Happiness

Your highest happiness lies in the giving of benefits to those you love. Love finds its most natural and spontaneous expression in giving. If you have nothing to give you can't possibly adequately fulfill your role as a spouse, parent, citizen or person in general.

You need the use of things to develop your body, your mind, and your soul. And without these things you remain well below your full potential. It is, therefore, of great importance that you should be rich.

See you there.

Who Are You?

Who are you? – Really.

Often, when I am at a cocktail party or other social gathering and things seem to be slowing down a little, I’ll walk up to a stranger and say, “Hi, my name is Samantha. And you are...?”

A loaded question, if there is one, because the answer is always something like, “Hi, I’m Jane.”

I am often tempted to reply with “No you’re not,” but usually I just smile at my internal joke and continue with some form of polite conversation.

In actual fact, she is not “Jane.” That just happens to be her name.

Of course we all have names. You have one.

You have a great many possessions, not the least of which is your name. You have clothes, books, a postal address, probably an email address, (or two), a car, a personal computer, a telephone, a cell phone, telephone numbers, a television set, several radios, probably an iPod or mp3 player, and who knows what else. These are your possessions! They are NOT who you are, although there are those who would like you to believe that you are. (“Clothes make the man!”)

Imagine witnessing this conversation at a gathering: “Hello, I’m the three story brownstone house similar to the one at the corner of Fifth and Main. Nice to meet you.” “Nice to meet you too. I’m the black, 2009 Cadillac Sedan deVille.” Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it?

You are NOT your possessions. But then, if you are not, who are you?

That question should definitely give you pause for thought.

The answer comes from Chapter Six in Dr. Wayne W. Dyer’s book, “The Power Of Intention” where he says,

“You are an infinite spiritual being...
having a human experience.”

You are not a human being who has spiritual experiences.

Think about it.

Perhaps it's time to reevaluate your approach to Life.
