Thinking manifests
A few years ago I was giving a final Alexander Technique lesson to a forty year old entrepreneur who was retiring to Monte Carlo, Monaco. He'd earned his money building an extremely successful software business which he'd just sold. He was also selling his 10 seater aircraft, his Bentley and his London home. In short, he was uprooting, lock, stock and barrel and moving to the Mediterranean where he planned to live the rich life and write some fiction.
At the end of our last session I asked him if he could tell me how he had been so successful and he asked me in return, had I read Richard Bach's little book called 'Illusions'. I said that I had. He then just made a small passing comment as he left my room for the last time "It's all in there". I read this little book again with renewed interest.
I also gave a copy to my Dad and one or two to other people thinking they may find the pearls of wisdom helpful in their quest for a happy and successful life. If nothing else, it's a good read. My Dad's initial response was that it was "a bit far fetched". I then told him of what the millionaire had told me. I didn't hear from my Dad for about two weeks as he's in Scotland and I'm in London and we were both busy. But then I got a Thank You card from him, saying that after our conversation he'd read the book again......and again, and again and again. He was on the fifth read when he wrote to me to thank me and to say it had changed his life. He said "It's not what the book says, or that it needs so many reads to learn or understand (although it does because it's quite deep....as deep as it can get) but because while he's reading it something happens to him. Everything in his life flows, he feels happy, he feels great, he feels that nothing is impossible and actually so many wonderful things that he wants seem to come his way. Dad has gone on to read this book around 15 times.
Fifteen times is quite a lot, but it's nothing in relation to a good friend who read it around 55 times in one year. The book ends where it starts and starts where it ends and one can get on a roll. And life rolls on rather well at the same time. It can change how we feel, how we think and so, how we perceive life. And when we perceive life differently, life changes to match how we perceive it.
I'm reminded of this book today and I don't know why. I haven't read it for around a year now, but this book, tired and tatty as it is, has lain in my case that I bring to work every day. It sits beside my diary. beside my mid-morning snack. It's there, not read, but not forgotten.
I am reminded of this book today for reasons that elude me, but as I listen to my thoughts and take note of what my subconscious tells me, it's probably time I turned those pages again. I don't need to know why I am reminded of it. I just need to notice that I am, and to respond to this cue.
It's to do with belief. Bach's book is about belief. When we believe that something can be the case, then it often is. manifesting by thought may take more than one little thought; it may take a few or quite a lot. But be sure that every time we think, something is being stimulated or energised somewhere in the world.
What we think is what we get, as thinking is energy and we and the Universe is all made up of energy. It's what binds us all together, Energy attracts. It's energy that makes everything happen in the world and everything exist. Nothing exists without energy....particles are bound together by electromagnetic forces. Our thoughts are electrical impulses too and by every thought, we are sending out impulses into the world around us. Every thought has magnetic attraction. Thinking manifests. It's the Law of Attraction. Whatever we think, we are attracting towards us circumstances that will provide the emotion linked to our thoughts. It's an exact match. Doubts and worries attract situations to fulfil our thoughts.....more worries. Joy and excitement about anything will attract the circumstances to provide that experience. Hoping and wishing for things do not work as these emotions come from a position of 'lack' so we attract more 'lack'. We attract more of 'not having'. Believing and generating the emotion that we will have when we get the object of our desires, such as excitement, joy, relief, contentment, satisfaction, create such a strong magnetic pull that they attract the circumstances to provide those emotions. We get what we think.
The thing that tells you whether you are attracting what you want or what you don't want is your emotions. Your emotions are your barometer. If you're feeling good, happy, positive, loving, excited, content, calm, relaxed and generally good then you're attracting what you do want. if you're feeling down, fed up, anxious, worried, depressed, irritated, angry, jealous, spiteful or other negative emotion, then you're attracting situations into your life that will give you more of the same emotion. Like attracts like. What you think is what you get.
If you're wondering why there's a blue feather on this blog, you'll have to read Illusions. For me, it's a reminder to think of what I do want and and more of what I really do want, then more of what I want. But to do so with the emotion that I already have it.
This is going to be a good weekend.
See you on Monday.
