Scientific research shows us that all creation is made up of units of energy called ‘particles’. When enough of certain particles accrue or come together an atom is formed. We know that matter is fundamentally made up of atoms therefore it stands to reason that the world is made up of energy units. In fact everything that exists is some form of energy.
Humans must also be forms of energy. Our thoughts are forms of energy as well. We know that once energy is formed it lasts forever. We can change its form by transforming or transmuting it into something else but it is still some form of energy. An example of this is when we freeze water into ice – they are different forms of the same energy (H2O). Likewise, with our thoughts, because they are energy they will last forever.
However, we can change their form by transmuting them into another form. We can take a negative thought and transmute it into a positive. Thoughts and creation: Creation happens through a three part process of ‘Thought – Word – Deed.’ We all use this process every time we create something. It can be anything from making a cake or a piece of furniture to building a skyscraper or a successful career and everything in between. Here is an example of how it works - Stage 1- The Thought: First we have an idea or thought about building something. Stage 2 – The Word: We think or talk about how we plan to create the end product. This adds more power to the original thought. Stage 3 – The Deed: We make the product and thus bring it into reality (the manifestation of the original thought). It is important to understand that all three stages are necessary to create anything. We create everything in our life, including our future, using the same process. Therefore our current positive and negative thoughts are creating future outcomes. The more powerful those thought patterns are, the more they affect our future. An example; It will be very difficult for someone to create wealth in their life if they have deep fear based subconscious thoughts about being poverty stricken. This is because their conscious and subconscious thoughts will be in conflict. Alternately, someone with a positive subconscious attitude towards money will be able to create wealth much easier simply because their conscious and subconscious thoughts are working together.
Conscious and subconscious thoughts: We are having conscious and subconscious thoughts all the time. Our subconscious thoughts are happening at a far greater rate than our conscious thoughts and therefore our subconscious thoughts have the most influence over our future. We can see from this where the problem lays.
We are not aware of the majority of negatives that are creating our future because they are getting processed at a subconscious level. We only become aware of them when they manifest into our life. Most people don’t realise that they are the cause of their own problems and look elsewhere for the answers, quite often blaming someone else for causing it. It makes sense that if we are not happy with an aspect of our life then we will most likely find its cause hidden in our subconscious. So how do we know what the negative is? There are two main ways that we can do this. First; we need to observe our feelings and emotions because they will tell us the truth about what is really going on inside of us. For example; we might think that we are O’K with some situation but at the same time we may be feeling anxious about it. The anxiety will tell us that we are not really O’K with it regardless of what we are thinking. Second; observe how we react to the negatives of those around us. For example; if we react by getting angry at what another person says then we know that they have triggered a negative within us. In other words, people can only trigger a negative if it exists within us. It is impossible to trigger something that is not there. We often blame others for hurting us or making us angry but we don’t realise that we must also have an issue if we negatively react. When we have healed our own issue then we will see their anger but we will not negatively react to it. It takes a lot of self awareness to recognise and then to be able to change or override a deep negative subconscious thought pattern. Exercise:
Changing negative thoughts to positive ones. Think of something that annoys you or a situation where you felt hurt. Instead of suppressing it like we normally do, allow yourself to feel the negative – own it but don’t fear it – observe it. Now think of how you want to be and feel the positive emotion that comes with it. Concentrate on how great this feels and make the feeling as strong as possible.
**Now bring up the negative and its feeling again and hold it for approx 15 seconds then say to yourself; “I now let this negative feeling go and I now replace it with...............” – think of the positive and the associated feeling for approx 15 seconds - the stronger the feeling the better. Repeat the exercise ** several times and you will notice that the negative will start to dissipate as the positive starts to replace it. Keep repeating until the negative feeling disappears and you feel good.
When we don’t fear the negative it loses its power over us and when we embrace the positive we regain our power. By replacing the negative with the positive, we are actually reprogramming our belief system. Emotion is the most important factor in this exercise by far. This is because the more emotion we have, the more we will erase the old and imprint the new information into our memory and thus become our new truth.
