If you’ve practiced observing your thoughts without reacting to them emotionally, you’ve learned to quell the incessantly nattering, chattering voices in your head. By allowing them to come and go without reacting or following them emotionally, they become less and less dominant.
Remember, thoughts require your attention to survive; otherwise, they fade into the background noise and disappear. As the voices fade away, you open yourself to real personal power, a power found through the portal of inner stillness.
Think about it – when there’s a problem to be solved, a solution to find – you naturally seek quietness in the space around you, so you can concentrate on finding an answer. In the same way, by quieting the constantly chattering psychobabble in your head, you open yourself to the source of creative energy.
Instinctively, we know there is a creative force we can draw upon when the need arises. It’s present within each and every one of us and it responds to what we ask of it, twenty four hours a day, every day of our lives.
If we consciously think about better health, prosperity, passion, happiness – it moves us in that direction. To use it more effectively we need to understand a few things about how it works.
I call this inner force the Universal Creative Mind. It’s larger than we are, and largely misunderstood by just about everyone I know. You’ve heard of it before; it’s known to modern psychology as the subconscious mind.
We tend to think of “our subconscious mind” as something personal to us, something we ourselves own and control. This is a woefully deficient image, because the Universal Creative Mind is exactly that – universal. We share it with every person on the planet.
If we didn’t all share the same mind, we couldn’t communicate with the people we meet any easier than we can communicate with insects or fish.
Even people who speak entirely different languages can communicate with each other fairly easily. When you see someone smile, instinctively you know what it means, and so do Eskimos, Bantu tribesmen, and even babies. This is because at the deeper levels of awareness, we’re all connected with each other.
All of us live within the great intelligence of Universal Creative Mind. It’s constantly operating in everyone, and there’s no way to prevent it from doing what it does. It is responsive to our thoughts and it brings to us exactly what we ask it for at the deepest levels of our beings. That’s why what you “think in your heart” is a measure of who you are and what you experience in the world.
If your conscious wishes and desires are often elusive and rarely come to pass, it’s because you have negative “programming” in your subconscious that blocks what you consciously ask for.
Most of this negativity can be observed in the psychobabble that continuously floods your mind with over 1500 words and images a minute. To break through, we have to still the mind and give attention to only the voices that support what we want.
To remove your negative programs, you must practice specific skills each and every day. By spending ten minutes a day projecting definite thoughts about what you want into the Universal Creative mind, you will make an impression that can make what you focus on come to pass.
But if you spend the remaining twenty three hours and fifty minutes entertaining thoughts that disagree with what you’ve asked for, you can guess what the results will be.
