I have a wonderful piece of chiseled and painted stone (pictured here) hanging in my house. The text is a quote from Buddha Skakyamuni (b.624 BC): “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.” For people who are just coming to know and understand the Law of Attraction, it seems like a New-Age revelation. These laws are as old as Source Energy, and though you may be discovering them recently, humans on planet Earth have been aware of these laws for a very, very, very long time. The idea that we create our reality through our thoughts has been documented and discussed as long as records have been kept, and the same message is interwoven throughout most every religious tradition, and even through scientific inquiry. Movies like “What The Bleep Do We Know?” report how science is just beginning to prove that our thoughts have a concrete and real affect on physical matter. Science is showing that everything is energy, and at certain levels, everything is interconnected. When you change one aspect of anything, and hence its vibration, the change ripples out and affects everything within its frequency. The Universe is expanding and expanding and expanding!

When I was in middle school, I picked up a book called “The Nature of Personal Reality” by Jane Roberts and Robert Butts. I read it cover to cover and then started on the next “Seth” book in the series. By the time I was done, creating your own reality made perfect sense to me. It’s not about deciding to create your own reality through your thoughts…but the realizing fact that you DO create reality through your thoughts, even if you don’t know you are. If you are thinking, you are creating, period. It makes sense, then, to pay attention to the way you are creating. The evidence you have is clear and concrete: the life you are living right now arose from your thoughts in the past. Do you like your life, right now? If you do, stay focused in the manner you have been focusing. Enjoy the ride. If you don’t like what you have manifested, then begin noticing the ways you talk to yourself and others. What kind of stories do you tell in your head to yourself? Are you kind and optimistic when giving yourself advice? Are you kind to others? It is human to beat yourself up every now and again…but there is no need to make it your full-time job! If you can notice when your thoughts feel good and reflect your desires for a better life, and when they contradict your intentions for a better life, you can begin to give more energy and attention to the thoughts that will create the life you want. There is no emergency. You can perfect this little by little for eternity. Just begin by noticing and redirecting. Over time, you will see the evidence of your new and more consistent (and joyful) thinking. Your life will thrill you, and you will be exactly where you need to be…right here…right now, with no worry for anything else. Enjoy this most amazing day! CHRIS-GP
