Thoughts Become Things
Our thoughts are not really us but they are extremely powerful and important when it comes to the creation process of life. What we continuously think is what we become and that influences our perception and reality. When you pay attention to something within the mind; you are literally giving it life force (energy) and therefore existence. That's why the more you notice something, the more you draw it towards you or attract yourself towards it. However, we don’t ever create anything that’s "new" and doesn’t exist already in the physical plane. Whenever our mind goes somewhere within imagination, it’s actually tuning into a parallel reality that already exists. Hence, manifestation is only a matter of observing something internally and then bringing it into the physical with our awareness and observation. As a verse in the Bible and the once famous and great American author and mystic Neville Goddard stated: “creation is finished”.
Whenever we think of something in particular with the intention to bring it into manifestation, we are automatically holding in our mind an image of the very thing we’re thinking about. In the process of doing this, we are either consciously or subconsciously activating certain energy particles to physically create exactly that which we’re observing with our internal state. These particles have an awareness of themselves of being observed and will start to behave according to our own state of consciousness. This theory is called “The Observer Effect” and is proven by quantum theory or quantum physics. What this means, is that our thoughts affect reality and even more so become our life experience. Before, many have thought that thoughts are just thoughts and that they don’t affect our lives as much as they do but that isn’t the case at all. Quantum physics has shown that one simple thought can affect the observer to feel a certain emotion and therefore alter the structure of the molecular cells in their body, and thus physically influence the quantum field. Repetitive thoughts also creates subconscious mind programming and beliefs that in turn impacts the field and the individuals' world of perception.
If we understand that thoughts literally become things, we’ll honor the importance of feeding our mind only with desirable thoughts and images. The more we do this, the more that we are programming our mind in a new way that’s going to reflect back the new reality we desire. When we start to change ourselves and begin to change the cells in our body through observing an imaginative state that is equal to our desired outcome, then our reality will mirror our internal state. The mind, body and soul are all interconnected and part of our internal and external experience of reality. They all essentially are one (also referred to in Biblical texts as "The Holy Trinity") and when you change one of them (the soul unlike the mind and physical body can never decline but only grow in experience), you affect the others as well. Our thoughts are meant for us to create and they must be used wisely, since how one thinks and shows up influences the state and behaviour of others as well. When many people are thinking the same negative thought patterns, it creates a collective reality experience manifesting more of that same energy; the same goes the other way around in the positive direction. Based on a large scale globally speaking, each individuals' thoughts has a massive impact on the conditioning and state of the world. So if you want to practice things such as mindfulness and meditation to slow down and ultimately remove negative thoughts and subconscious blocks to create better energy flow, this can prove to be of great value and will ultimately result into more harmony in all areas of life.
Remember, what you see in your mind is what you can and wíll hold in your hand; you must decide on what you want, imagine it and take inspired action towards it. Thoughts become things when you live there in imagination. Therefore make use of your thoughts to become your best friend by becoming aware and choosing thoughts that make your life better, not worse.
