JOURNEY TO "ENTER ONE'S SELF", AND BECOME AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THE MIND OF THIS UNIVERSE IS ONE WITH THE GREAT COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS, AND THEREFORE CONNECTS ALL THINGS IN EXISTENCE THROUGH THOUGHT...
The Power of Thought
I would like to talk to you about the power of thought…How many of you have ever really examined what a thought is? We know it is the product of the act of thinking, but what is it? Greek philosopher Plato defined a thought or idea as; an archetype of what a corresponding being in phenomenal reality is an imperfect replica. That means it is the complete and perfect original model or prototype of what exists in our imperfect world. Hence, nothing you see is as perfect as the idea from which it was born!
The significance of this is that the physical world is entirely made up of the manifestation of our thoughts and ideas. Look around you; everything you see stemmed from a simple thought that was nurtured and given life through our creative nature. Using the idea as a blueprint and ourselves as the tools to build the physical replica, all that exists in this world was created. It started with simple things to make tasks easier like a strapping a rock to a stick to make a hammer, then a wheel , fire, buildings, running water, and eventually modern civilization. Through the centuries many great thinkers have spawned different schools of thought, based on different philosophies. In which, people learned to express their own ideas and expand their conscious awareness of the true potential of the human mind. All religions and political factions grew out of philosophy. This shows us that how someone thinks, is just as important as what they think about.
There is another side to the productive power of thought; and that is the destructive thoughts of negativity and corruption. In darkness the negative mind cultivates and schemes ways to destroy all that is good. Sometimes these ideas are shrouded in a greater seemingly protective nature like weapons of mass destruction, or maybe even a religious crusade. Think about the havoc that has been caused, and the millions of people slaughtered in the name of peace and God. All based on what started as one persons thought or idea of what they believed was the greater way to live. Imagine if we were all wiped out in a nuclear holocaust; what would become of our thoughts then? Would they still exist, perpetuating our perfect ideas in the cosmic consciousness?
The concept of the creative power of thought has been sold short by the oppression of its pure potential. How many of you had a sense of possessing some super power after watching your first Superman movie when you were a kid? Maybe your parents caught you trying to move objects with your mind, or shoot heat rays from your eyes. Of course they explained to you that we are not capable of those things, and reality just does not work like that. And so we began the endless sea of obstacles placed between our pure potential and our conditioned mundane existence.
Famous philosopher Rene Descartes said “I think, therefore I am”! This is such a powerful statement, as I believe that thoughts are the untainted pure essence of the life we live. The creative power of thought has been taken away in today’s society by ignorant teachings and skeptic pessimism. If we are to move forward as a people we must defy the laws governing our inner abilities, and begin to promote the importance of thought in our children at an early age. Teach them how to wield the creative power that is essential to their progression in both the spiritual and the physical realm. Show them that their thoughts create reality and that what they think, they will become. Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance, and by instilling in our youth the ability to focus on positive and successful thoughts, they will be prepared to achieve their greatest potential.
Each and every one of us doing time knows the double edged sword that is thought. It can allow us a safe haven from these locked doors and barbed wire fences. It can also create our own private hell, as we fill our minds with thoughts of “what if” and “where is my woman tonight”. Time allows opportunity for us to learn to utilize our mind to create positive thoughts to achieve greatness both within and without. If you are mind full of what thoughts you nurture and remain aware of their power, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished. Going deep within yourself, allows you to never be without in this world.
Learning to think using rightness and reason leaves you open to be more receptive to the laws of attraction. By which when you focus on and maintain positive thoughts; that which you envision as yours will come to you. As this is achieved more and more, you shall become a beacon for those around you to see from the darkness. So in this instance, when you help yourself you actually help others. By this I mean that once you know the pure potential that lies within you, and learn to think with purpose, it becomes a gift that each one can teach one. My vision is that future generations will become a product of this evolution of the minds. Perhaps even being able to access much more than average 10% of the human brain we use today. As we learn to lift more and more restrictions on thought the possibilities of advancement are endless. The ability to perceive that our thoughts create our reality, ultimately gives a base for disciplined control of our own destiny. In effect making us Masters of the Universe.
I ask that you consider that if we are all made in God’s image, could we possess greater creative powers than we imagine possible. If you can grasp the concept that the thought is the greatest creative force know to man, than it might be that all of us, and everything in this universe, are actually thoughts manifested in the Mind of God… In conclusion I would like to challenge you all to re-evaluate the way you think, and what thoughts you entertain. Remember that your thoughts are like a pebble thrown into a lake. The ripples that resonate from that single pebble create waves in all directions. The very thing which you think may be altering your current situation; ultimately affecting not only your life, but the lives of endless others, as we are all connected through the Power of Thought.
