Not another Positive thinking cliché

Positive thinking has a billion clichés about glasses being half full, rainbows and all sorts of cute things. While wonderfully helpful as a child, when we become adults we must convince the rational mind to adopt this philosophy in a more direct and logical way. Take the Law of Attraction out of this argument as this spiritual aspect does not speak directly to the mind and is more of a symptom of a healthy mind than the cause of it. 

If we only take control of what we are in control of we would eliminate pretty much everything but thoughts. As this is where your true power and control of your physical life is formed. When the mind is under stressed thoughts it goes into fight or flight mode, releases high doses of the cortisol (a fat storing and physiologically damaging chemical released by the body) and will cause physical and mental havoc on your mind and body. This is why stress seems to age a person very rapidly and cause a very pessimistic and jaded attitude towards life.

The good news is; this is a choice and you can choose to start looking at the glass half full and start seeing the rainbow in the sky if you choose to see it.  It may take some time as you probably have lived your entire life not keeping track of better feeling thoughts but when you start to do so, it will get easier as time goes on until it eventually becomes second nature. Then your mind and body will become much healthier. And if you use the Law of Attraction to your benefit, this is when your manifestations will come into your physical existence.

30 Days of Gratitude

We can have love in our hearts, peace and harmony. This is a birth right and not something we have to struggle for. Things like this are as simple as a thought, a kind gesture or a smile. We must center ourselves to find happiness and this all starts and ends with self-love.

I know that many people find it easy to love our children, our spouses and friends and this task is much easier then it is to love one’s self. This great love for our families is more than understood but Love is in abundance and there is more than enough room in your heart for yourself.

Start falling in love with yourself again; start by making a list of all the things you appreciate about yourself. Let the gratitude you feel for yourself shine today and then carry it over to the next day. Then make another list and find more things you love about yourself. Then once you have filled yourself with self love, make a list of what you appreciate in your home and then your city, country, world and Universe, always including the prior categories.

When we start to focus on what’s right we start to see our mind, body and spirits uplift and become in a greater state of peace. So, let’s call upon ourselves to take 30 days to write these gratitude lists and mark your results. See how much better your life becomes and how that being grateful sends a wave of more things to be grateful for in your life. This will imprint and run new thought patterns through your sub-conscious mind, which will in tern cause, all your actions to be the correct ones.

You have nothing to lose by doing this; and you have gratitude and a new positive frame of mind to gain. It seems that humanity has tried many things throughout history, and even more so, how many things have you personally tried to improve your life. Most, if not all of these things have cost you way more than 5 minutes and a piece of paper.

Lose your leaders and follow your own heart, this is true enlightenment

Spirituality is a huge title and encompasses a wide variety of eclectic views of faith. This is the basis of new age spirituality the freedom to walk one’s own path and be one’s own teacher. Although this definition is grossly misunderstood; what remains constant is the understanding to keeping one’s feet on one’s own path.

When someone is truly spiritual they realize that their only teacher is their inner self and that teacher will lead them to the appropriate information and life experiences needed for enlightenment. This is the most accurate definition of free will and if it was observed properly there would be no war or conflict and a mass library of human learning stretching across all faiths would be formed.

This is an issue that stretches across all continents and even those that call themselves enlightened are subject to this flaw. The feeling of living the truth is not confirmed by numbers nor is it something that a true enlightened master would take liberties with. Follow no one and ask no one to follow you, this is an individual journey made by individuals and no one can experience your life but you, and no one knows anything about you but you. Lose your leaders and follow your own heart, this is true enlightenment!

Are Thoughts living?

If you have every picked up an Abraham Hicks book or DVD you know that their teachings may not be for everyone. Many people have very strong opinions on their methods of teaching and the way they present themselves. But regardless of what you think of them and other teachers like them such as Ramtha. You have to give them credit for inspiring thought and starting the conversation on the higher teachings of the law of attraction and ultimately spirituality. After all isn’t that what this new thought movement is all about; questioning the way we think, how we perceive reality and the constantly evolving personal philosophy of everything.

Studying any subject is a personal choice and such is important to remember at this moment; as if ignorance is bliss to you; then read no further. As many do not feel that way and the quest for knowledge supersedes the comforts of conformity.

Abraham Hicks said something beyond interesting she said that "When you think a thought, immediately the thought starts to think". If we allow our mind to run with this idea and question this statement we must question existence all together. As if quantum science was not mysterious enough we now are asked to roll the notion of thoughts being living things. So if thoughts are living and thoughts become reality in some form or another, then what is a thought actually? A soul? A spirit? A wave of energy? All of the above? What does that make our spirits? Did we start off as thoughts and are now physical manifestations of those thoughts, and who thought them?

This is a huge notion and whether you accept it or not it is in your best interests to explore the possibilities of that statement, as questioning things are becoming more and more important in today’s society. Every leading edge theory that has ever been accepted started and sounded just as strange as this. If you look through the pages of time you will find many examples of this.

What is truly important and what the point of the article is; not whether it is correct or not but that we are brave enough to kick around this notion in our minds. This is what is important questioning everything which will allow you to become your own teacher and you will never steer yourself in the wrong direction.

The Universe in a nut shell, A New Thought Theory of Everything

What if we combine all the known new age philosophy, quantum and metaphysical theories in such a way where they all complement each other and work in harmony with the known scientifically theories of the universe. Then the understanding of these principles would look something like this:

We are all in charge of our own individual universe and digital physics would be the interpretation of what we are viewing as other peoples individual Universes. You must abide by the laws set forth in that persons individual Universe while engaged with in their Universe. This would explain the parallel Universe theory which has become so popular and how the law of attraction works without impinging on free will.

This is also where the Law of attraction would make the most sense, because if you can control everything around you with your mind (including others actions towards you) then when someone else enters into your experience they are subject to your beliefs about your specific Universe and events their-in. Giving you full control of visiting beings and this will dictate that nothing that does not match your specific vibration can enter. And if it does force itself upon you and your free will, then it would be subject to the law of increasing returns and be in vibration alignment to the same infringement in their personal Universe. Some call this karma but titles are not important to the purpose of this article.

So if we take our Universe and obtain complete control of all that is; as it is suggested by quantum physics that we create everything outside of ourselves. Then we are truly masters of the Universe and intern must be beings of great power. As creation is a huge undertaking for any being, be it a cup of coffee or a Universe.
So, what of our Creator? Then whatever we are living in that allows us to be this being of power; must be something so great that we would not be able to conceptualize this immense entity. If nature is any indication of what our creator would be then it would not sit still long enough for it to be defined as evolution is a natural binding principle.

The Universe in a nut shell is an utter mystery; but we must break the chains of what we once thought. People have always stood corrected in matters of things that seem larger than them. We must realize that the earth was considered flat until someone had the bravery to say it was not and follow their hearts to prove this truth. By not encouraging thought, we encourage stagnation and if nature and history is any indication of what we are. Then we are meant to evolve and grow both as individual Universes and as a collective consciousness.

Humanity needs you to give up your excuses

Talk is cheap and so is action, but thought is powerful! You find many people scrambling for answers to a questions unknown. They state to themselves if I only this, than that would be so or If I only I had that, then that would be easy. But what purpose does any of that serve, babying your mind with excuses of why not, when you should be empowering your mind with justification of why you can.

People give up way to easily because it is easier not to try and say you could have, then to try and go through the many failures needed to succeed. This is an effect of the insecure ego which would rather be right than succeed.

These boundaries of the mind not only live in the person but they also live in the collective consciousness of many larger bodies. It would be a redundant point to try to name the many groups that follow this mentality as you can not throw a stone without hitting a grouping like this.

Remember the fish stinks from the head and in order to change you must acquire change within yourself before finding leaders with the same mentality. Remember like attracts like and like minds attract like minds, much like attracting an ideal partner comes from your state of mind. So does the organizations and collective consciousness’ you wish to associate yourself with.

The Creator, Creation and the Law of Attraction; A higher teaching

Let’s assume you are an avid fan of the Law of attraction, you live your life by this and you have been able to use it in your daily life with some level of success. Then you are involved in this cosmic mystery as you know keeping your mind locked on something will attract that object into your life.

If you look at this event physically, science explains this as auto suggestion, a method where the conscious brain uses repetitive thought to imprint the image to your subconscious mind. This technique makes your subconscious mind gear it’s every action towards this attainment of this forced imprint. This is similar to the same way hypnosis works.
As there is always more than one truth depending on your perception we will take the spiritual perception. Where the same physical events described before are explained as the Creation process. It is said when we use the Law of attraction, we (the creator of this object), actually become the object of our attention. This is not a new theory and Yogi’s have explained this in Book 3 of the Yoga Sutra’s as sanyama.

In the third book of the Yoga Sutra the sanyama process says; that there are three steps to the creation process, concentration (focusing your mind on an object), Meditation (where you remove all other thoughts but the object of your desire) and Trance (which is the moment in which you actually become the object and loose the sense of yourself).

According to the Yogi’s you become your creation and your creations become you. Taking this to a higher level  of thinking we now realize that we are the creation of a greater Creator and we must be entangled in the same way, where our creator has become us. Which also makes us do no greater honor to our Creator than evolve ourselves as this; intern must raise the collective vibration of the whole.
This is a new and wonderful explanation for the term, created in God’s Image (if you choose to identify with that cultural document). As it has been the opinion of many scholars that this term must have a higher meaning and these theories can only be tested on a personal level of self exploration. It also coincides with the Unity teachings of many symbolic cultures where we graduate to an understanding that only one exists and not 7 billion this is called Unity consciousness although even this is subject to personal evolution. As even when we achieve this higher understanding there will be many more levels of understanding that will await your desire to know it.

Identifying ourselves as a drop of water that makes up the ocean of existence is important to New Thought Peaceful thinking as we are united by more than a common looking body. We are united in a common spirit, the same spirit, no matter what you choose to identify your beliefs as, we are one.

Time, Reality and Mental Health

Time is a subjective subject and depending on your state of mind can slow down and speed up depending on how you choose to view it. That is why a day at the theme park seems like it lasted only a brief second and 30 minutes on a treadmill can seemingly last forever (even with an I-pod, book and good company). This is because you are viewing these two events in very different ways.

The theme park is fun and when you’re in a state of mind that is flowing with enjoyment, time is following your lead and gracefully flowing throughout your day. As opposed to the stare of boredom on the treadmill where you watch every second tick as you will the time to go faster and only proves to slow the process down.

Nature flows in this way, an even flowing effortless motion and is always flowing gracefully. Everything will flow to you in this way if you are able to remove your resistance from your everyday life. As everyday should feel like a day at the theme park filled with fun, wonder and joy. This is living and no matter what excuse you try to make there is no reason for you not to be living in this state of being; as all you have to do is let go of the resistance which imprisons you.

You may have heard this term stated by Dr. Wayne Dyer as he refers to living in the now or heard Abraham hicks calls this flowing downstream. But what may be the easiest way to view this is in a time related paradigm observation and is written about extensively in the book “15 Days to a Beautiful Life”.

There are only two possible states of time observation one can be observing. The first is a Past – Future Paradigm where you’re constantly living in a state of the past transitioning into the future, which does not allow for the observation of the now. As you’re always anticipating something or recalling something that happened before, you will suspend your mind from realizing the moment and will be resisting the flow of life a great deal. This also proves to weaken your control of your mind and emotions, a fundamental factor in new thought mental technology.

The other is the Present Paradigm where your mind assimilates with the present moment and does not contemplate anything outside of the now unless specifically asked to do so.This gives you complete control of yourself. This quantum variable is where the mind can only realize the present moment and no matter how many pictures or video’s you take the mind can only live that moment one time. In this Paradigm there is no proof to the mind that yesterday existed or tomorrow will ever come; as yesterday is seems like a dream and by the time you get to tomorrow it is now!

So what really exists is nothing but the present and the clock on the wall is meaningless to reality and is only for classification purposes. By realizing the now you not only allow the enjoyment of life but you will be making clear and rational decisions in a healthy mind frame.

If you feel like you lose the feeling of the moment, do not fret. We all do and it is part of our mental evolution. No one is perfect and never beat yourself up for something that happens as the purpose of this mistake will serve to adjust your mental outlook, and these slip ups will become your greatest teachers.

The effects of fear on your rational mind

Look around you; Do things seem pretty bleak and utterly hopeless to you? The economic system is breaking down, Animals are acting strangely and the ocean is filled with an overpriced and outdated energy source. So what can you do? Plenty!

Live life on your terms, do what you wish to do and as Joseph Campbell says “Follow your Bliss”. Seek Joy no matter what you have to do to obtain it. Whether you wish to solve the problems of the world or not; a panicked and muddled mind will not produce the results you are wishing for. It is only when we calm the mind down of all F.E.A.R. (False Evidence Appearing Real) that we can be in a trusted state of mind for rational decisions.

Fear and other negative emotions will dictate to you that your mind is not going in the right direction towards decisions that will bring you a positive outcome. Decisions made in any state of mind will give you more situations that will invoke those emotions again, be it good or bad. This is the basis of the positive thinking people who observe the principles of the Law of Attraction.

Even if you are not willing to learn the Law of Attraction, you cannot argue that it is has never been a quality of any successful leader to be irrational and make rash decisions. Knowing that you are the leader of your own life, this truth applies to you in a personal way. If you cannot accept your own role as the only person in control of your own life, then I can guarantee your failures are an indication of your lack of self-empowerment.

Are you smiling yet?

True happiness comes from being alive and no special circumstances are required for your happiness in a true state of bliss. This is the state of allowing, and is written about in this new age medium more times that we can mention. Obviously this task is something that will require a bit of work but no actions will be able to help you. This is an inward journey of forgiveness and honesty which is only achieved when you show yourself the compassion that you deserve. In my case it was not until I shifted my mental direction that I could accomplish this.

Imagine yourself on a winding road full of road blocks obstacles and traps.  If you look ahead you see no way to get across those obstacles. The road blocks are too high to climb, the obstacles are immovable and the traps are hidden well and are seemingly everywhere. There is no way to go forward, right? Did you think to turn around yet? There is nothing that blocks your journey in that direction because that path leads with-in; walking that path and you will eventually come to that same path full of all the challenges life has to offer. Except this time your simply walk right over it as your size and strength has increased a billion fold and those obstacles are  nothing more than a tickle on your proverbial foot of life.  This is the state of allowing!

Allowing is a term used to describe the mind set for blessings to be abundant in your life. It is easier to go with the current and allow nature to take you to your destination rather than fight against the current which leads you nowhere but to more struggles.  This is the eternal metaphor of life; you can easily allow everything you want in your life by going with the flow. As you are in charge of your own specific Universe and can control the way in which you live.

This is a choice and whether you accept this or not, “It Is”. Try this simple experiment; loose all your worries for one day, make a list of everything you are grateful for and take a vacation from negativity. See what that brings you, and then after this experiment is implemented in your life try it again for a week and then a month and eventually it will become effortless. Every journey always starts with one step, are you willing to take that step today?

Living the Truth

I am sure someone has asked you this question many times; although depending on your age the phrasing may be different. The most common form of this question is “What do you do for a living?” I am going to assume that 99.99% of the time this refers to work or your job in some way. Most people relate who they are with what they do. This subconscious hick-up can cause a ton of unnecessary negative emotion and even worse “Writers Block”.

Truth be told, even the most glamorous job cannot define you. You are way more magnificent than that. If you are a musician, artist or writer your work may be a reflection of which you are as a person but it is you the creator who breathes life into the creations in which you create. You are unique and anything that more than one person calls them self cannot represent you ij your entirety. I am a writer, a dad and a husband no one thing describes me although I am proud to be all of them.
There are over 6 billion beautiful people that are each truly unique, no two are exactly alike. Your body is your temple and it holds the most beautiful, loving and extraordinary amazing creature inside of it; Your Spirit.

The spirit that is inside of you is the truth, your truth. The only truth you shall ever have. I say to my readers almost every essay, blog, speech or book I create. To look inside, they ask me why?

Your spirit will answer all the questions you have and I can assure you that the answer will be as unique as the faces that represent the journey to get them. Man has got into a great deal of trouble by telling others how to live and what to believe in. The obsession to be right is something that has taken many men to the point of insanity and all for not because each person’s path is unique and their interaction with the path they are on.

Many people pick up self help books like mine and hope that the book is a user manual to their souls but that would serve no purpose to you. I choose to put the power in your hands, I write to point out that there is beautiful and loving magic inside of you that is always at your disposal and is as abundant as infinity. This journey is deeply personal because we all do not all think the same exact thoughts. Your path is either littered with negative thoughts, hate and intolerance. Or your path is pure of all impurities which are one of many symptoms of the positive thoughts you think, and positive affirmations you say.

That being said, this all comes back to loving yourself. Desiring what you want is the easy part. The belief that you can do it and feel that you are worthy enough to have it is another. This is where you find the state of being needed to succeed and it also provides you with the endurance to make positive thinking an effective Life style choice. If you cannot find love for in yourself, you will not find that love in yourself. That love is your truth and is your spirit and it has always been there waiting for you to stop star gazing and look inside.

Try Loving yourself and Love whatever it is that makes you, YOU!

Then figure out what you believe and start looking for the magic in your life. You will be surprised in what you find and how amazing you truly are.

No matter what your theology it serves you no purpose to doubt yourself; so pay attention to that gut instinct, respect each other’s path, and put your faith in yourself where it belongs.

Evolve the law of attration (Become a Divine Creator)

You know it, you love it and for some it has been their first introduction to enlightenment. Of course, I am referring to the law of attraction. A well-known law of the universe that has been made extremely popular by the DVD "the secret" and has been featured in countless publications.

Many of us have learned to master this law and it has served us well. It is a truly beautiful technique of the mind/spirit relationship that is tried, tested and true. This law states that whatever you pay most attention too will come to you frequently in your life experience. For example if your thinking mostly of pain you will get more pain, and if you are thinking of joy mostly you will get more joy (works with objects, experiences or anything that does not violate some one Else's free will).

After that basic understanding is given, you learn to direct your thoughts to attract more specific things into your life. This is done by taking time out each and everyday to purposefully and emotionally play these experiences in your mind until they arrive in your life.

Knowing that in this universe nothing stays stagnant. There is always an evolution, what is the evolution of the law of attraction as it relates to us. Naturally a world wide practice of this technique would be one step in our human evolution as a whole. But for the individual it would be another seemingly giant leap of faith. The giant leap of becoming a divine creator.

A divine creator is one who creates effortlessly without the restrains of time or space. Someone who feels their power so strongly that they eventually have learned the art of instant manifestation. Someone who can transcend all boundaries between the spiritual and the physical world. This person would also be of an extremely high consciousness and would have summoned his/her divine essence into existence.

To achieve this we must first start off with the absolute belief that nothing is impossible. We must dare to ask for this type of power and know that what we ask for WILL come to us in divine essence and timing. we also must know that we are born divine and we are simply returning to our original state of being. Then(most importantly) we must look with-in to raise and expand our consciousness to reconnect with our divine self.

Some have said in order to achieve such a giant jump in creation we must actually merge with the soul of our creator (which has been done before). Making the process of creation a greater part of our couscous desires and subsequently give us more control of this process.

Creation Process:
1. The desire appears in your mind.
2. It is processed in the unconscious or subtle body
3. It passes through collective consciousness
4. It is organized cosmically in pure consciousness.

Provided, there is only one way to raise your consciousness and that is by working daily with your divine teacher. I am speaking of your inner spirit which is an extension of source. Your spirit will lead you higher and higher up the level of consciousness until you get to where you want to be. Then you will set new goals and the cycle will continue again.

There is nothing I can write that can tell you exactly how to achieve anything. So, I will not try. What I can say to you with 100% absolute certainty is that your inner spirit will lead you to this desire (if that's what you choose). It will take you to the highest levels of consciousness and will show you how to climb to the highest mountain tops. As long as you trust that is will, it shall be and the knowledge you are seeking right now will come to you easily and effortlessly.

What I can say to all of you and it will be agreed upon by your spirit is; Dare to push the limits of your imagination. Expect more from yourself and your creations, do not worry you will not be let down. Dare to dream what has never thought possible before and dare to believe that it will come true.

Stop greed - Increase Wealth

Greed is simply a symptom of feeling disconnected from your source. Its a condition that happens when you do not realize that you can have anything at anytime. All you have to do is ask your Divine self for it.

This greedy condition actually works as a major hindrance to those who wish to obtain wealth. It stops the natural flow of things because it does not allow objects to flow freely in and out of your life. This attempt to obtain and hold objects that belong to the universe will prove to be the down fall of many. It's almost as if the person has no faith in the universe to produce any results.


The important thing is that you take what the universe gives you but do not force your will upon anything or anyone. If you are looking to create wealth want more. Its not about saving its about wanting. In order to live in this new world of asking and receiving you must increase your desire not your bank account. The bank account increasing will be another great side effect of enlightenment.

The Law of Attraction

You may have already realized that you are creating your own life using your thoughts. When you’re having a bad day, more bad happens. When you’re having a good day more, good happens. This is because of something called the Law of Attraction.

The law of attraction strictly states that whatever you think about most will manifest itself into your reality. This also means that if you want something all you have to do is change your thought process to obtain it.

For example, if you want a new car. Sit and day dream about it daily until it appears. When you can close your eyes and feel like your in that new car. It’s yours the Universe (God) will provide it.

These are great perks to being an enlightened person but this should not be your only motivation. This is where those who have passed this message on to others before me have failed.

This process of creating material items is very spiritual and should be treated as such. You must realize who you’re asking for these items. That would be God or whatever you would like to call her.

The reason why most publications before this did not tell you these things is because of religious dogma. The absolute fear of religious out cry. I have more faith in humanity than those who came before me. Also, I believe my message proves all religions and shows the truth and value in all of them.

I have met many priests, rabbis, monks and religious leaders who follow the law of attraction. There has even been of springs of religions that combine religious tradition and the law of attraction. Some great examples of this are but are not limited too; Kabbalah, Gnostic traditions, most Sufism practices and most Buddhist practices.
