Just a Thought

[Max Power]

One thought manifests, but other thoughts can kill it.

Have you ever manifested something really easily with just a few simple thoughts? That’s how it all works, but why can’t you just think of anything and it manifests?

Because all your thoughts add up to your whole reality.

Let’s say you think about a friend that you haven’t spoken to for a while, just a simple random thought and like magic, that friend calls you. Now if you had multiple thoughts about that friend not calling or you hoped or wished they wouldn’t call, then they probably won’t call.

Opposing thoughts outnumber the one single thought and beat the crap out of it and the opposing thoughts win the day. So if you want something and it’s not happening, it’s because you have more thoughts about it not happening than you do about it becoming real.

So if you had 100 thoughts a day and 1 thought was for want you wanted and the 99 thoughts were just random not related thoughts, then that one thought would manifest. But if you have 1 thought about what you want and 99 thoughts about it’s opposite, then the thing you want will not manifest and what will manifest will be the thing you don’t want.

The trick is to realize that one thought can create anything, but every other thought has the potential to kill it. So you have a thought about being rich, that thought will manifest, but before it does, all the opposing thoughts will kill it before it gets a chance to show up in your reality.

Many gurus discourage attachment to a desire, but attachment is constant connection, not desperation. Real attachment is sharp focus for all your thoughts to be working together to fast track your desires.

If you’ve desired something for a long time and it’s just not happening, then it’s because you have more opposing thoughts that are killing the thoughts of your desire. So the opposing thoughts overwhelm the thoughts of what you want and you end up with more of the same.

You aren’t actually getting what you don’t want, you’re getting what you’re dominant thoughts are focused on. Often we don’t notice the undermining opposing thoughts, but they are there, working in the background ganging up on the thoughts about what you really want.

great post max, it was exactly what i needed at this moment. thank you

I've never heard it put quite that way before. Makes perfect sense. Thanks.

I think this is why detachment is so key. I used to believe it meant that you didn't really care if you got something. Which makes no sense, if you desire something, you desire something. You should deserve to have it.

But when you are ATTACHED to it, it means somewhere you don't believe it's going to happen. So that's when all these opposing, cancelling thoughts come into the picture.

If you TRULY believed you were going to get what you wanted (or as we would say here that you already have it) you probably wouldn't think about it too much. You'd be detached, because it's already there. Like the air we breathe, we know it's there... we need it to live but we're not attached to it because there is no doubt involved. Should be the same way for intentions.

It's mostly a terminology issue.

One thought will manifest, but multiple thoughts will kill it before it manifests, so we must have all our thoughts on the same page to support a thought that can be killed off easily.

If you can trust yourself so mulitple opposing thoughts won't kill off the thought of your intention, then it's good, but most people can't do that. Attachment means connection, people think it means obsession, but multiple thoughts are a constant connection. Multiple thoughts of something good are a constant connection and that's good, just as when you constantly think of something bad that is a constant connection also.

Most people cannot have one thought for what they want and see it manifest, even thought this is how it works, so the challenge is to overwhelm your goal with supportive thoughts, even though only one thought manifests.

So while attachment may imply desperation, it actually means constant connection

Max I need your help because I am trying to find an answer on this.

I know you are advocating the notion of Stillness, the Thoughless state of Conscious Awareness, The "human bean" and I am asking my self if the Law of Attraction you mention above is congruent with all that.

Thoughts that are related to the Law of Attraction are merely day dreams and they concern the future. We can say that they distort the present moment.

Is it something in common between Stillness, Enlightment, "Human Bean" and Law of Attraction? Do I miss someting here? I am very confused.

Thankz

Cylon mentioned something important in his post. The emotional attachment to the thought which means Fear of Failure.

I beleive that the thought has to spring from the consious awareness. For example. If you want to be rich,

Don't say...
I am not rich but I will be rich. (This refers to the future)

Say.....
I am not rich but I feel like I' m Rich. (this refers to the present)

Thanks. Any ideas?

Since everything we perceive on this level is a DREAM or ILLUSION, if you will, then the basic premise of The Secret & Abraham Hicks is teaching those asleep within the Egoic Mindset to focus on happier more pleasant dreams.

We have a tendency to focus on negatives, judgements, and such - but with training the ego mind can "Learn" to focus on the more positive aspects of duality. If we are going to live the illusion and believe it is real, we might as well dream good dreams, right?

But, see the thing is, once you're ego mind begins to think and process from a more positive perception of reality, it is also beginning to break away from those negative beliefs which held it in the egoic mindset to begin with. Thus it spurs on awareness & enlightenment. It is a way of gently waking, of gently changing beliefs and thought structures.

We can manifest with the egoic mind, we do it 24/7, especially with all the negative stuff we see. Manifesting is the law of attraction in action, but it isn't conscious creation.

They are similar in that our thoughts manifest into form which we then perceive with the body & physical senses. Manifestation by the ego is the default we all function from, I see/feel/taste/hear/smell something, this data is filtered through memory and judgement to process it and then form a perception, this causes emotional reactions, thoughts and so forth, which then recreate the past or a newer version of the past, based upon my thoughts/emotions/beliefs.

Conscious Creation is not dependent upon what we perceive with the body, nor upon need, want, fear and so forth. It is a desired state of experience that we choose consciously, it isn't reactive but proactive and is not based upon memories, judgements, physical perceptions of the five senses, nor upon our past beliefs & thoughts. Conscious creation is only desire, choice, and assuming that state of being NOW within the conscious mind.

So all these things are related.

To hold a Positive Perception of reality like you suggested, we need to hold a story in our mind (probably a dream) in order to support that Positive Perception.

To hold the Pure Reality (What Is) is what makes as feel real, alive and on truck. Then we can set a positive velocity from there. This is where the role of Impartial Spectator (Observator) springs from.

There is a difference between the 2 frames above.

Well, I call it VISION, which is my desired state of being being viewed within the mind as a present moment truth.

I'm not sure how you are referring to Pure Reality, is your pure reality what you envision in the minds eye, or what you currently perceive with the body?

Maybe what you think you really want is not truly what you want, and what you are getting that you think you don't want, is actually what you really do want?
In other words, could the dominant, undermining, opposing thoughts be so for the reason of creating or becoming aware of something new, maybe in the form of self-evolution?
The negative aspects of beliefs and thoughts are an integral part of our understanding and I feel without them or the denial of them gives them greater power. Most often we aren't even aware of them but they create just the same.
