The first step... Make up your mind

Last week I promised to show you how to manifest things and make the Law of Attraction (LOA) work for you.

A couple of years ago, perople were excited about a book and movie called "The Secret".  This was featured on Oprah Winfrey's tv program and had inputs from a number of the personalities who helped make the book happen.  However there have been a number of poeple who have been disappointed in the process.

When I was with Primerica, the Saffords, namely Bob Sr. introduced us to the work of Napoleon Hill.  This was written up in the book "Think and Grow Rich".  The starting point and perhaps the key was to first establish a strong and burning desire.  You really had to want it bad.  Then next you had to articulate it.   Carefully and precisely describe it.  Write it down.  To have something physical to refer to is most important to what I am going to describe to you.

Now that it is written down... post it somewhere in a prominent place or places.  i.e. your bathroom mirror, the visor of your car etc..  Collect pictures and other reminders of what it is you want... you need to keep your vision alive.  Athletes do this all the time...visualization.  Create a mantrum.  This is the subliminal power of advertising jingles.  It remains in your sub-consciousness and this is the goal for the LOA.  Create the reality as you see it in your sub-consciousness. Did you ever get a tune in your head that kept coming back time after time?

The sub-consciousness will continue to work 24/7 as it connects with the super-consciousness and about that we will talk further next week...  Let me have your coments... let me have your questions.

I Think Therefore It Happens

Last week, Peg left the following comment  on some things I said about our senses etc..

"Regarding last week's post about our senses, what interests me is covered in The Secret and what some call The Law of Attraction: that thoughts have a frequency and Like Attracts Like. The Concieve-Believe-Achieve theory, The Power of your Subconscious Mind. I think we are able to do a lot more than we realize we can do, if we make use of all our facilities."

There is no question that we are able to do a lot more than we think we can do.  We limit ourselves by negative thoughts and visions of impossibility.    Now some things are impossible under the circumstances such as neither I nor Peg will dunk a basketball unless the baskets come down from their present height of ten feet or we get a ladder or something.  But when it comes to manifesting things that we want in life then that is a different story.

In the early 1900's Napoleon Hill interviewed Andrew Carnegie and Carnegie took him on as friend and confidante.  In 1939 Hill published a book based on the success stories of Carnegie as well as other wealthy men of that era.  That book was Think and Grow Rich. And the time was right in America for men and perhaps women as well to develop an idea and accumulate wealth as a result.  This had its parallel in Genesis when God took unformed substance and gave it activity to form the earth and the stars as well.  Hill discusses in his book the secrets and practices of these wealthy men which allowed them to think and dream and visualize how to manifest those into material wealth and abundance.

Eric Amidi, also known as "Dr. E", gave the best description of the process in his book titled The Secret Behind the Secret.   He described the process as from the consciousness to the sub-consciousness to what may be called a super-consciousness.  This super-consciousness is sometimes described as a pool of consciousness or other repository where everything is stored that ever has been, is now and ever will be.  So the thought goes from the consciousness to the sub-consciousness to the super-consciousness from where it is manifested into material things.  So thoughts go from the consciousness to the sub-consciousness to super-consciousness for manifestation.  And this is reminiscent of some of the ideas coming out of quantum physics today.

Next week I will discuss how this is made to happen.  In the meantime let us have your comments since they do stimulate ideas and discussion.

A change of pace...

I decided to take a week off from thinking about the cosmos, black holes, alternate universes and whatever.  So my thoughts dwelt on Mother's Day.  Even though it takes a father to make a mother, to the temporary tenant it is the Mother who has cradled it for nine months about and then introduced it to the fantastic reality that is this world.  Nothing can replace that experience.

I loved my mother and if she were alive she would be 95 today.  And we would be celebrating both her birthday and tomorrow Mother's day as well.

So to all those mothers who ever were, who are now and who will be in the future..  i say to you  Happy Mother's Day.
