Hey MrsCogan,
Welcome to the forums.
Have you head the Dave Matthews / Tim Reynolds albums? Brilliant. They have a newer
holiday album out too. Just gorgeous stuff.
As far as the "thoughts creating reality" discussion, its certainly interesting, isn't it?
You can't
do anything without thinking about it first, so the statement that "thought creates reality" certainly rings true, but then there's the endless debate about whether or not you are bypassing action.
Here's how I like to think of it.
Imagine this circle:
Consciousness --> Beliefs --> Thoughts --> Action --> Reality --> Consciousness.
"Thoughts create reality" skips the Action step, but that doesn't mean the statement isn't true. Let's try some others:
- Action Creates Consciousness.
Have a kid and find out.
- Reality Creates Beliefs.
Sure, this is the whole field of modern science.
- Consciousness Creates Thoughts.
Sure does. I know of no other way to create thoughts.
- Beliefs Create Action.
Definitely. Whenever you take an action your core beliefs are almost certainly behind it.
- Thoughts Create Reality.
To change reality you have to think about it first.
