Desires to Reality

"This is what I want you to do; you will now step into my place and do it, bringing all your powers and intelligence to bear, and considering yourself to be none other than me."
Thomas Troward explains instructions for the subconscious mind. From his lecture The Hidden Power.


How to Acquire Your Desire - How Things Come to Us
Step 1- Harmonization of thoughts. know what you are looking for and at least a general direction in which you wish to travel.
Arranging our thoughts in an orderly fashion toward our desire for order is the Universes first law of progression. Develop clarity with purpose. Opposing thoughts can only cause conflict bringing our progress to an impasse. Our experience will always be toward and equal to the strength of the dominating thought. Total harmonization of thought in all areas of our desire will produce 100% success.
We must recognize the existence of an Originating Power from which all things come to us through impressing our thoughts upon It.
Cosmic energy contains all possibilities. It is by impressing our order of thought upon Cosmic energy we bring these possibilities into our physical experience, ( aircraft, vehicles, computer ).
The bird waits in the egg - the mighty oak waits in the seed.
We must also recognize the existence of a Cosmic Mind backing this all Originating Power instilling very definite principles in regard to how things come to us from this Originating Power - Universal Laws.

Step2- We must realize and accept that Originating Power is everywhere. It penetrates and permeates everything for everything has come out of it therefore it is a part of all.

So to generalize what we have so far, the creative power follows a specific formula as sure as any mathematical formula.
First Spirit has a desire for enjoyment of life, for expansion of all it deems as pleasurable. This is accomplished through giving - first by self contemplation creating a polar opposite thought or complimentary thought toward the current experience of choice to improve upon. By holding these thoughts with emotional content and visualizing them as already in existence, Spirit manifests them into Its physical experience.

Build the solid foundation of belief, for if your subjective mind cannot believe - or accept your desire, it can never be manifest in your physical experience. If your desire seems to big or far off, break it down into believable chunks that you FEEL good about. It is also important you understand there is only one creative source. The creative source within you is the same creative source of Universal Intelligence from where all things come. It is through your understanding of, acceptance of, and cooperation with this truth you are able bring your desires into your physical world.

It is necessary we understand everything in our universe is in vibratory motion. Everything is assigned a vibrational frequency. There is plenty of science to validate this should you care to investigate. Manifesting our desire is all about matching emotional vibration, (frequency), with the same frequency our desire holds in Universal Intelligence. It is really no different from tuning in your favorite radio station. The stronger your signal, the better your result.

We must also agree that all begins in thought for we cannot have an emotional vibration about something without first having a thought about it. Thought causes feeling, feelings create our emotional vibration which in turn determine our actions toward the something bringing an equal or greater reaction back to us from our environment. In order for us to change our current experience in any arena of life it is imperative we first change the way we think about it.

"Change the way you look at things and the things
you look at change."
Dr. Wayne Dyre

Through the persistence of thought with emotional content begin to erect the structure of your desire. Small steps may be required here for the thoughts you choose must FEEL good. They must be designed to raise your emotional vibration beginning the movement of that which you desire toward you.
All contrary thoughts must be extinguished immediately, even before the thought has been completed when, possible. Awareness of thought becomes imperative and a ready source of pattern interrupt thoughts available for substitution of any contrary thoughts.

Visualization is also key at this point. Begin in your mind to visualize positive scenes around your desire as though you are already experiencing them. See the sights, hear the sounds, smell the smells - make them as real as possible with all the emotions you might experience with each scenario you envision.
Here is an effective process you might use to help you develop your visions.
First determine on an emotional and believability scale how you feel about your desire - zero being uncomfortable, unbelievable and ten being excited, eager, completely believable. Typically your desire should fall in around eight on this scale. A little bit uncomfortable however believable at the same time. If you score a ten you are not reaching far enough.

To help you develop your visual scenarios with emotional content you might surround them with these questions.
If I were to wake up tomorrow morning living my complete desire;
What does it look like?
How does it feel?
How do I benefit from this?
How do those around me benefit?
What am I doing throughout my day?
Who am I associating with?
How do I dress?
Where am I living and with whom?
What vehicle do I drive?
How often and where do I vacation?
Those are enough questions to give you the idea. Feel free to add any questions which are relevant to your particular desire.

As you create your scenarios and meditate on them daily with emotional content you will begin to develop clarity with purpose giving your subconscious mind unmistakeable instructions to carry out. As your emotional vibration surrounding your desire intensifies through the process you will begin to attract people and situations to you which if acted upon will lead you to your desire.

The achievement of your worthy ideal is dependent on ACTION. I am sure most of us have heard of the Universal Principle of Attraction - ok, let's look at this word attraction in a different form - attr - ACTION. All the head knowledge, all the meditation and good feeling emotional vibration - which will bring your desire to you - is useless if you don't act when opportunity is presented. Luck has nothing to do with how things are manifest in our life. Earl Nightingale suggested "luck is when preparedness meets opportunity."
Our preparation begins in mind - our achievement is realized only when we act upon the opportunities as they are presented to us.

This is a fool proof process, as sure as any mathematical formula. We are the creators of our experience. This process is always in motion whether we are aware or not. Spirit, which we are, has been designed for expansion, abundance of life, for the betterment of the Whole through the desire of each ones individual personality impressed upon Universal Intelligence.

Adding Value

One of the keys to success in any endeavor is to approach everything and everyone with the attitude of intention to add value for the whole.

Progress is realized in the building up of things. The affirmative shall always absorb and dissolve the negative, never by destruction, but by construction. The negative is never destroyed by attacking it. It is dissipated by the building up of life. It is always a building power.

Ego is consuming and destructive, fearful, always believing it needs to defend itself for survival.
Spirit is always giving and constructive, understanding in truth there is nothing to defend in the building up of life. There is only moving forward for the benefit of the whole. Spirit shall always melt away egos attack on us should we but turn our focus inward, concentrating our thoughts on Spirit and all that we are.

"Only what has value do I seek, for only that do I desire to find."
A Course In Miracles

"Heaven is reached with empty hands and open minds, which come with nothing to find everything, claiming it as their own. "
A Course In Miracles

Seek - but Where?

Why do we continue to seek outside our Self for something which is not there? Acceptance, approval, True love, stability, may only be found within. The discovery of Self leads to the grounding we seek. Yes, seek and ye shall find - however we must know where to look.
Yet we continue to grasp at straws moving from one to the next seeking that which is not there. The grounding, stability we seek is within. We shall never be satisfied by that which is without, suffering continual turmoil as we allow ego to destroy the very things sent to help us. We become victims of an emotional tempest tossed to and fro in a sea of emptiness and heartache.

Peace, joy, love, all we seek, and that which we truly are, lays within.
"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, (life principles), and all these things shall be added unto you."
I am reminded of a line from a great hymn of years gone by; "On Christ, (his teachings of universal laws), the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand."

"Yes, humanity surges with uncontrolled passion, is tumultuous with ungoverned grief, is blown about by anxiety and doubt only the wise man, only he whose thoughts are controlled and purified, makes the winds and the storms of the soul obey him.
Tempest-tossed souls, wherever ye may be, under whatsoever conditions ye may live, know this in the ocean of life the isles of Blessedness are smiling, and the sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming. Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought. In the bark of your soul reclines the commanding Master; He does but sleep: wake Him. Self-control is strength; Right Thought is mastery; Calmness is power. Say unto your heart, "Peace, be still!"

Excerpt From: Allen, James. "As a Man Thinketh."

Inner-sequence > Consequence

Inner-sequence: The direct result of our internal frequency created from inward thoughts and self-talk determined by our residing blueprints in the subconscious.

Consequence: The direct result of our outward physical actions determined by our conscious thoughts based on our beliefs about things.

Inner-sequence must always precede consequence for consequence is the mirror of inner-sequence.

Thought and character are one, and as character can only manifest and discover itself through environment and circumstance, the outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state. This does not mean that a man's circumstances at any given time are an indication of his entire character, but that those circumstances are so intimately connected with some vital thought-element within himself that, for the time being, they are indispensable to his development.
James Allen

Think Beyond <<<
Beyond the normal modes of thought, beyond limitation, beyond, into the universe, where all things are possible. This is where you are, this is who you are, this is creative energy from whence we came and is in us - seek and ye shall find it. It is the great I Am. I Am that I Am so I may Be what I Will to Be.

What is past is gone. It has no relevance , nor bearing, on what is to come except we allow it, dependent upon our association of thought to past experience.
Present circumstance should not be a major factor in our thought process when seeking change to a new direction of creation. That is not to say it may be completely ignored, for certain things may need to be dealt with, however like shall always demand like. Something different cannot come out of the same.
If your dominant vibration is fear of those things not yet realized they will be manifest in your experience for energy goes where attention flows.
New thought will create new direction.
Dissociation from past, from present circumstance, and from what is not yet, is a prerequisite of new creation. Now is the only moment there is and from this we may create our desires thought by thought, moment by moment.
The three things we must overcome are our attachment to past, our belief in present as reality, and our fear of future.

Knowledge - Understanding

Very often we know what is right. We know the right things to say - so many beautiful quotes.

We have the knowledge however ego is strong and the Will is weak. What is lacking is understanding. Knowing and understanding are very different. The latter leads to application and growth.

Strength is found in the understanding of things.

We can only move forward within a principle through the understanding of it. This may only be accomplished by daily study and introspection. Communion of spirit with our Creator.

Listen - Talk - Act - a fourth component

Communication is the essence of all relationships be they business, family, community or personal.

Two major components of communication we all know are verbal skills and listening skills. However there is a third major component to communication which if not implemented can carry drastic repercussions. You may stand to risk losing something very dear to you.

This third component is action. It is not enough to listen and talk. Many of us have very well developed listening skills but if the action does not get past your mind into the physical world, it is useless. Listening to and then saying what others want to hear, however then doing nothing about it, will cost. Knowledge and understanding without application is of little use.

Posted August 20/2012

I have contemplated a fourth component to communication. That is to live through example.
If you speak of love - live love.
If you teach non-judgement - do not judge.
If you preach and desire compassion - be compassionate.
If you expect truth and honesty - walk in these ways.
Live the message in all things.
Develop your strength of Spiritual character through continuous introspection of that which you truly are. Then live through the manifestation of it in your physical experience.
In this way you shall find true and lasting love, joy, peace and abundance of life.

Conscious Connection

Our connection to Universal Mind itself is intrinsic and may never be severed.
However it must be consciously realized before it can be consciously used. The degree of conscious realization and understanding will determine the effectiveness of our use.
You may understand that when you flip the light switch, the light will come on. However not understanding the laws of electricity beyond this you will always be limited to a very menial level of its use. If you were to build a greater conscious level of understanding within the laws of electricity you could then make better use of it constructing more intricate circuits to accomplish anything you might desire. Our conscious level of understanding and use of Universal Mind is no different.
