What Are You Telling The Universe You Want MORE OF!?! (691 hits)
Sure, we've heard it before.
Some of us learned it growing up, or some of us (like myself) first really heard it on teachings like The Secret. I remember hearing it and thinking, "Aw crap -- I'm in BIG trouble if that's true."
"You receive what you THINK ABOUT ALL THE TIME."
HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!
When I heard it, as well as each time I listen to a new person teach more deeply on that subject ("Deliberate Creation"), that concept resonates deeply with me. I recall driving to work one morning and noticing all of the telephone towers (the tall zig-zaggy metal ones) and thinking:
"Hey -- that's a perfect visual! We're each a powerful broadcast tower, sending out a 24/7 signal to the Universe of what we are thinking about, what we want MORE of!"
Then came my "Aw crap!" moment, as I realized that most of MY daily thoughts are filled and overflowing with what I **DON'T** want:
I hope that car doesn't hit me.. I hope I don't die of a heart attack... I cannot gain any more weight... That report better not be due today... There's no way I can finish that project this week... I wish I didn't love carbs so much...
GAME RECOGNIZES GAME
As I continued to study beyond The Secret, the C-R-I-T-I-C-A-L 2 components of that Law are about
(1) The importance of emotion & gratitude in those thoughts, and (2) The Universe doesn't register "DON'T"!!!!!!
When we're thinking throughout our day we have to realize that the Universe does not 'hear' the "... don't want..." -- it only hears the subject. So me continually thinking, "I hope that car doesn't hit me... I hope I don't get in an accident" --- all the Universe hears is:
Have an accident... Car hit me... Have an accident...
Now, I don't know exactly how it works. I don't profess to know (yet) why the Universe can't gage what I mean more accurately. But frankly, I can't say I really care *HOW* it works. Because on some deep level the Law of Deliberate Creation/Attraction -- it just makes sense to me. Because as I understand it, thoughts ARE ENERGY. And that energy would attract similar energies, that clicks for me.
So if we are continually, all day long, sending out "negative" thoughts, that's what the Universe thinks is important to us. That's what we are attracting -- more of the same.
HIPPIE YIPPIES & THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING?
Years ago in the 70's there was all of the "Power of Positive Thinking" belief, and I think this is related.
But we're talking about something more impactful than just "thinking happy thoughts".
It appears that the IMPORTANT issue is activating these universal principals requires more than just having a bunch of happy thoughts rolling around in your **O-W-N** head.
The important piece here is that because thoughts ARE actually energy, that energy in our OWN thoughts comes OUT and is picked up by the Universe. So whatever those thoughts are -- that's what the Universe sends to us, believes we are requesting, believes we want more of - because that's what we are giving our true attention to.
Lisa Nichols explains this very well in The Secret. If you haven't watched it, start there. (FYI, don't waste your time if you're someone who thinks things like "All this New Age mumbo jumbo is a bunch of bull" -- you won't enjoy it).
But if you, like me believe that we are not alone, that we are not running the show but that despite that we aren't running it there *IS* still more we can do as co-creators on planet earth, & better yet, that there is a METHOD to learning to maneuver around on this earth, a method more available to us than traditional thinking wants to admit -- take a listen to The Secret, as well as another video "Down the Rabbit Hole".
So although I'm a Christian by faith, (meaning I still hold stubbornly to my beliefs of "who" is running things!), these universal concepts give legs to the human side of the equation.
GOAL:
We all want life to be more enjoyable, whatever that means for each individual. It may mean more excitement, or more health, more peace, more ... whatever.
If we want that, we must make part of our daily self-work to work on reprogramming not only what we think about, but also the words we choose as we think them. For example: "I'm so grateful my drive to work is a safe & productive each day" (rather than: "I hope I don't have an accident today").
We have to first become aware of what we are thinking, then develop new habits, new words so that the energy we are sending out is returning to us what we TRULY do want. As we grow our skills I believe that our "wish list" will evolve to be more outer focused. And in that way we aren't just using the Universe as Santa Claus, but we helping to co-create a life for ourselves, then for others that is not just about what we want, but about what *** "W-E" *** want.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What Programming Are You Sending the Universe? By Mary Manin Morrissey ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every single one of us is a broadcast station. We’re broadcasting the vibrations of the major thoughts we’re holding. Those thoughts tend to show up in the way we hold our faces, the way our shoulders are tense or relaxed, whether we walk with a lift in our step or heaviness as we drudge.
You are broadcasting to the Universe the energy of your predominant thought. That thought, through the Law of Attraction, draws unto you; ideas, people, circumstances, and situations that are in exact accordance with the prayers you’re saying--even if you might not realize the prayers.
On this day, let us make a decision to create a magnificent day by broadcasting gratitude, broadcasting appreciation, broadcasting how good and precious it is to be in this human life.
Pause where you are right now and feel your aliveness. Feel your body. If you have shoes on, feel the shoes on your feet and the clothing on your body, and the breeze caressing your exposed skin.
Thank God for this holy temple called your body. For a moment, notice that you have thoughts. Give thanks right now for the power that you have to choose your own thoughts and the capacity to exercise that power as a co-creator with God.
Notice that you have an extraordinary intelligence system known as feelings. Your feelings tell you when you’re on track because when you’re on the right path you feel good. They’ll tell you when you’re not on track because you’ll feel not so good. Our feelings are part of our genius guidance system.
Right now we give thanks for our body, for our thoughts, for our emotions, all of which are God’s gift to us as part of this wondrous and holy gift called a human life.
You know I thought I was a little crazy when I was sent an attachment from someone I knew who simply said you have to read this!! The attachement was to a website that had a book called" the keys to power". I read it and read it some more. I actually ended up purchasing the book because I wanted to have with me always. It was all about out connection with GOD and the univerise, and like you just said whatever out thoughts are thats what we send out in the univerise and thats what you get back. Not that I have been following it like I should 100% but I know that when I am sending out positive thoughts during the course of a day great things happen and if I don't let anything anyone says touch me or just blow over my head even better.God created us in his likeness and his image, just think about that! would he have us be anything less.
