Creating the Perfect Life
by Alan Tutt
Thoughts create experience. If you've read anything about how to use the
Powers of the Mind, you've come across this idea. You've probably read
that if you want your life to change, you have to think positive thoughts and
hold your focus on what you want. This is the basic concept behind all New
Thought philosophy, and one of the central themes of the Keys To Power as well.
When I first learned about this principle, it sounded really good to me.
After all, I had been looking for the secrets behind the
miracles of the (Christian) Bible. It also made a lot of sense. It
was my understanding that God created mankind with the ability to dominate the
Earth (physical reality), and if this was the case, then where else would this
Power be than in the mind?
After all, we have all heard the quotes about faith. "If you had the
faith as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, be
removed and be cast into the sea, and it will be done as you believe."
There are a lot of quotes like that.
But it seemed as though no matter how much I thought about what I wanted, no
matter how much I 'believed' that I would get it, or how intensely I focused my
mind, it wouldn't work for me. Has that happened with your efforts?
I know a lot of people who have had the exact same experience. They either
get nothing for their efforts, or they get the exact opposite of what they were
working for.
Now that I've learned the secret Keys to Power, I can tell you why this happens.
Imagine that Power flows like water. This is
the Power that God gives you to create your world the way you want it. Now
imagine that Power flowing into you, through your
mind, and then out into your world. As Power is flowing through your mind,
it is picking up your thoughts and feelings, your
beliefs and your expectations, and a few other things. This is why your
thoughts create your experiences. Because Power is
picking up your thoughts and feelings as it flows from God into your world.
The reason we don't see this is because it doesn't happen instantly. What
happens is that all the thoughts and feelings
that we send out into the world have to wait until an opportunity to manifest
comes up. So, at any particular point in time, you
may have a few thousand thought-forms (the traditional term for thoughts which
have been combined with Power) out there waiting to manifest! And those
thought-forms could manifest at any time, depending on the situation you find
yourself in.
Let's think about this for a moment. How many thoughts have you had in the
last week? How many of them were positive, happy, and full of hope for the
future? How many of them were negative, frustrated, angry, upset, or
fearful? If you're like most people, you had a mix of positive and
negative thoughts and feelings. And since thoughts direct Power to create
our
experiences, they will create a mix of positive and negative events in your
life, won't they?
Okay, so let's consider something else. You have a mix of different
thought-forms out there waiting to manifest. You spend
a few hours today thinking only positive thoughts and creating new positive
thought-forms. Which thought-forms are going to
manifest tomorrow? It could be any that are still out there, positive ones
or negative ones, right? Of course! And this is
why it's possible to think positive thoughts for a long time and still have
negative things happen! Because the negative events
are simply the manifestation of thought-forms you sent out into the world
previously.
So how can we use this information? Since we know that all thoughts we
send out into the world will eventually create
experiences, and the timing of the manifestation of those thoughts is beyond our
control, then all we can do is send out
the kinds of thoughts we want to experience and accept whatever happens in the
meantime. If we persist long enough, thinking and feeling only positive
things (things we want to experience), then eventually there will be no more
negative thoughts left to
manifest. At that point, we will be living a life where nothing could ever
go wrong!
But what do we do before that time? If something goes wrong, or we
experience the manifestation of one of our negative thought-forms, then we can
realize that we are one step closer to our goal. There is one less
negative thought-form out there to experience. Look at it this way, if God
told you that you would have to kiss a hundred ugly toads, but the last one
would make all your dreams come true, would you start kissing toads? And
how would you feel as you were doing it? You would probably be thinking
about all the glorious things that last toad will do for you!
Keep thinking positive, and get through the toads as quickly as possible!
