Thoughts are Things
by Jim Donovan
You've probably heard this idea at one time or another. You've probably
nodded your head in agreement understanding that thoughts are in
fact, things. You probably believe this and accept that your thoughts,
being things, do in fact have power.
Have you really thought about this? Do you apply this to your day-to-day
life? Hopefully you do, because you're every thought and word is
contributing to your life experience.
For openers, your thoughts produce your
emotions which, in turn, result in how you feel about a particular
event occurring in your life. It has always amazed me how people
can walk around feeling a particular way and not understand that
it is their own thoughts, or more accurately what they are telling
themselves that is producing the feeling in the first place. This
is why two people can look at the exact same event and have opposite
feelings about it.
You are creating your own reality, moment by moment, with the thoughts
you choose to think and what you say, both to yourself and others.

Are Things
Let's explore this a little further. Most people will agree, and
science can demonstrate, that everything in our world is a field
of energy and therefore has a particular frequency. The chair you're
sitting on, your car, your cat, dog, you and everything else including
thoughts, have a field of energy or vibration. Recent scientific
work has identified particular ranges of frequencies and scientists
are able to measure them. Interestingly enough, negative energies,
like anger and rage, measure very low on the scale, while positive
energies like those given off by prayer and meditation reach the
highest measurements.
At this point you may be wondering what this has to do with your
thoughts. Bear with me and I promise to connect the dots.
The second part of this equation is the universal law that states
"like attracts like". This has been referred to as the
law of attraction, law of similar and other names. What we choose
to call it is not terribly important, what is important to understanding
the part this plays in our lives.
Connecting the Dots
Let's supposing for a moment you're in a bad mood. You're feeling
pretty negative. At that particular moment in time your personal
vibration, the energy of your thoughts and words is in the lower
frequencies. Let's call this particular mood, "Frequency X."
Now somewhere off in the distant universe, there is another negative
experience. Maybe it's a flat tire, whose frequency happens to be
"X" as well. By virtue the law of attraction, you will
begin attracting that or some other undesirable experience to you.
There are no accidents. The universe works on a specific set of
principals that do not waiver. Like attracts like, whether we believe
it or not.
The good news is that the opposite is also true. If, for example,
you are feeling great, having invested time sitting and reading
your goals and taking care to monitor your thoughts, intentions,
and your internal and external dialog, you are now entering a high
energy vibration and are in a place to attract other high vibrations,
generally things that you want to have, into your life.
I'm not asking you to accept this blindly only that you begin to
observe the world around you and see if this holds true for you.
I'm sure you've noticed situations when, in a room full of people,
one person seems to be the center of attention. Why do you suppose
this is? I'll give you a hint, that's it's probably not her perfume.
Similarly, you probably know people who are always having undesirable
experiences in their lives. These are the people who have a lousy
time in even the best restaurant. They seem to travel with dark
clouds over them and always experience things going wrong in their
everyday lives. If you observe and listen to them closely, you will
begin to see the connection between what they think and say and
what shows up in their lives.
Your exercise for the next few days is to closely monitor your every
thought and word. When you catch yourself dwelling in the negative,
do something to interrupt your pattern and substitute a positive
thought in it's place. It has been said that any thought consistently
held for about 15 to 20 seconds will begin to attract a similar
energy. This is one of the reasons you want to read your life's
vision and goals daily. This will hold your attention on thoughts
of that which you want and help you bring it toward you.
