Thoughts become things |
Thoughts are things Have you ever thought as to how things happen? How do people become sick, poor or successful? • Thoughts become things all the time. Not just positive thoughts but negatives ones too. They turn a wish into reality. It is a universal law. • This is good news. It shows a way to get what we want. • It is easy to control our thoughts. In fact we have perfect control over it every second. • It is not just limited to attracting material things; you can also have more love, joy, pleasure and laughter. Thoughts have energy like everything else in the universe. Even an atom or a grain of sand has a lot of energy in it. Whatever you see, hear or feel has energy too. Money, house, dress, cars, ships, kitchen equipment, love, affection, anger, hatred, empathy, concern—anything is a condensed form of energy. As energy cannot be created or destroyed the energy of your thoughts gets simply converted into whatever they represent. If you keep the same thoughts for long periods, more and more energy becomes available and the conversion becomes easier. Have you not heard someone say, ‘Be careful of what you wish for, because you might just get it?’ I bet you believe it too. You have also heard about the powers of positive thinking. Haven’t you? And possibly you too believe it. You may have heard about the art of visualizing. Probably someone of you may have tried it. But have you ever thought as to why or how it works? Something rather quiver is going on. What is that? Let me put it to you in 3, short, simple, life changing words? Thoughts are things. That is it. Thoughts become things. Thoughts and things are related. Every thought reminds you of a thing and everything induces a thought. Things activate thoughts and thoughts activate things. Thoughts do transform, rearrange, and set into motion the material particles in our brains thereby creating a specific mental state. This mental state produces a similar effect on the minds of your cells, organs and the physical body as a whole. Your thoughts influences the objects of the world in a similar way. Ordinary people think that things happen just like that or they would have happened anyway. They do not understand that thoughts produce them. To demonstrate how thoughts produce things, just see this: As soon as you replace negative thoughts with the positive ones, you will find that undesirable persons, objects and happenings start to disappear and good objects and positive conditions start to appear. Different or disconnected thoughts produce incoherent energies without the power for materialization. That could be the reason why so many thoughts do not materialize at all. You wish or daydream something now, the next moment you wish something else or you entertain some other dream. The next day something altogether different comes in and hence no materialization takes place. But when thoughts are coherent over long periods of time, similar energies get stored in your mind which go on to materialize the things they represent. More forceful and sustained the thoughts, more the energy output. Thoughts with conviction have a power of their own. If you have full faith in your thoughts, the energy produced in you is enormous and the materialization becomes almost instant. But faint wishes or weak thoughts bring out little energy and hence they lack the power to materialize things. Just what will be the thoughts of a successful businessman? This year’s turnover is over 25 millions. Next year it should become 35. More money has to be invested in the new division being planned. In another 5 years my turnover has to cross 100 millions. Whatever he plans he believes he will accomplish. His brain is scheming and thinking in the same direction always. How does an executive think? An ambitious one could be dreaming to become the General Manager of his company in the next 5 years. (In 10 years he wants to be the CEO). Becoming the General Manager is an intermediary step. He is working day and night. Every single thought of his is streamlined for his company’s growth and benefit. Promotions pour in. What are the thoughts of the poor? They worry about what they will eat, where they will sleep, what they will put on and how they will get treatment for their frequent diseases. They are fatalistic and think that whatever attempts they make to overcome their hardships may not bear fruit. And naturally poverty, sickness and wants get perpetuated in their lives. The middle group is neither ambitious nor fatalistic. Many of them have a job and a few do make occasional attempts to rise up above mediocrity. But the vast majority of them just go on with whatever they have. Those who work hard are preoccupied with their specific goals and generally are healthy. As they aim to succeed, they do not think about illnesses and diseases and naturally they keep away. Those who dream betterment in life wish and think of winning situations. Disease is a losing situation and it has to keep itself away. The idlers and pessimists imagine every conceivable illness and worry whether they will get effective treatment. Their fears, thoughts and feelings become the reality. This group will be more or less perpetually sick. Who visits hospitals for treatment often? Those who go a few times keep going at regular intervals. These disease conscious ones believe they are attuned to become sick or that they will be sick any time and going to a hospital, seeing a doctor and getting treatment are all necessary for their very survival. The truth is far from that. People are created healthy. They are meant to be that way. Getting sick is an exception, something that we bring about due to lack of exercise, food control and focused attention on our goals. Statistics show that one who got operated once is likely to be operated again. It is because his mind starts to think about the possibility for another operation. . . If the same thoughts are repeated over long periods of time the manifestation is definite and full. Your attitudes and behaviors spring from your thoughts. And remember attitudes decide whether you will be lazy, hardworking, ambitious, desperate, positive, negative, wealthy, poor, great or unknown. Every achievement and every failure begins as a thought. If you let your thoughts indulge in fatalism you will accept whatever life brings to you—penury, unemployment or sickness. You become like a log of wood floating in a river. But if you streamline your thoughts you will be able to fix for yourself specific goals. You are no longer a victim of circumstances. You become the master of your destiny. Thoughts always follow your beliefs and convictions. Once you believe that you can succeed irrespective of your present conditions, you seek ways and means to be successful. You alone can control your thoughts. No one lese can influence them without your permission. You can choosewhat you think, what books you read, and what friends you mingle with. Read books of great people who have risen up from humble beginnings fighting back all possible adversities. Mingle with positive, ambitious, honest and hardworking people. Do not get into the trap of those who advocate that the society or government has to uplift you. Aim at developing you on the inside. The person you are on the outside is fully controlled by the one inside. And the inside one is controlled fully by your thoughts and beliefs. Control your future and your destiny by controlling your thoughts. |
