Clarity of Choice

[Max Power]

Choice is thought on steroids, once it's in existance, nothing can stop it other than another choice. Once the choice is made it is so. But isn't choice just thought? No, because you have 60,000 thoughts a day (or so they say) but how many choices do you make? You're not making 60,000 choices. If you think about the new car you want, how come you may not get it? Because thinking isn't choosing. If every thought created something, you'd be knee deep in stuff and probably some very unappealing stuff.

Choice creates and thought validates. Emotion validates also, it doesn't create, it doesn't build the physical thing in the physical reality. You can think about your choices to validate them, but the choice is the creative part.

Steve said "Thoughts are the instructions to the program, thoughts of consciousness and every thought creates, every thought manifests" but I consider that choice manifests and thought validates. All the theory in the world is useless unless it's helpful. So don't try to think it into reality, choose it to be so and (if you require it) then let your thoughts validate it. You can cut through a lot of work if you rely on choice and not thought as creative.

Everything in your life, you have chosen to be there, so what are you going to choose next?

Karess, people in general find other like minded people enjoyable to be around because they see themselves in them and qualities they enjoy and wish to emulate. I've found some really helpful and inspiring people here.

There's nothing wrong with being here often, but if you feel it's affecting your physical reality, just cut down, put a timer on it, stop by when you can, but maybe don't stay as long. That pesky physical reality out there is waiting for you to jump in and start creating!

Make a choice, make a decision and see what happens, best part about choices is, if it doesn't work out, you can always make another one

Hey Max,
Can you comment on my thoughts about intention manifestation? I've taken some ideas from you. I'm curious what your take is on my take :-).

Sean,

I'm always looking for ways to simplify and make the whole concept of creation easier. Easier to apply and understand. That means dropping a lot of the seemingly necessary things LoA and IM. I find them both overly complex.

Could simple choice be the creative force?

Whatever is the creative force in the universe, it must be very powerful, so does it need to be hammered into our wants and desires? I don't think it does. I found making a simple choice for something to be so, just as powerful as all the intending and emoting that LoA and IM seem to require.

There's nothing wrong with applying the LoA and IM, if that works for people then great, but I've found that making a simple choice, knowing it to be so and letting it unfold seems to work for me. I find thought and emotion are over rated as creation tools and to be honest I don't consider they create anything, they are validators of choice.

Choice is the creative tool, it works for me.

Hello Max.

Please post more information on this theory. Can you give any practical methods (affirmation structures or whatever)?

Thank you very much.

"I choose to have it now"

Substitute it for whatever you want and say it as often as you like.

It's that simple.

I don't think about it much (thoughts only ever validate it anyway) and I don't add emotion (another validation) it's more about just choosing what you want, knowing to be so and trusting it to be so, choose it and get out of the way.

This is actually what is going on anyway, people just like to dress it up and call it LoA and IM. Choice creates, everything else is about denial and delay.

Thank you for your response Max.

After reading your other topics, what I still don't understand is how does one directly access consciousness as opposed to just think about something?

We never go 'somewhere' to access consciousness, it's always with us, around us and inside of us. As the observer, you are the observation point of consciousness, sitting here writing this I can see consciousness, it's my present moment awareness, my container, the computer, the room, the bird outside chirping, the hands I can see pushing the keys, I'm looking to it all through the eyes of consciousness, I might call it Max Power and Max's room and house and wife and kids, but everything in awareness is consciousness.

To access it, you just have to admit the most obvious truth, you are it, you are not strictly speaking your body/mind, you are everything inside the container, inside present moment awareness. When you cease to identify with your body as your identity and see that everthing is you, then you'll have easy and direct access to consciousness and then you can create better, by using simple choice.

When you think about something, that thought is a creation, it's a validation of a choice. Choice creates, thoughts validate. Consider that choice is the fundamental creative power and all the thoughts validate the choice. You maybe having 60,000 thoughts a day, but how many choices do you make?

Choice maybe considered to be thought, but it's more powerful than thought, it's more like knowing than thinking, a good way to explain choice is to say it's like thought, but on steroids, you can change thoughts, but choice cannot be changed, only another choice can be made. People say that all the thoughts add up to creation, like if you think about something often enough it appears, but what's happening is that a choice is made and then thoughts validate the choice, because there are so many thoughts, we consider they did the creating, I just don't beleive that and want it simply and easier.

Choice creates, thoughts validate. Make a choice, let it go, get out of the way and enjoy the observation.

Thank you Max. Very interesting. When you get any more insights, big or small, please post them on this forum. They are much appreciated.

When I was a teenager, I used to believe in what I called "The Primacy Of Volition" which was similar to, but much more limited and not nearly as well defined, as your theory.

Thanks again.

Tonight I had a moment of inspiration (or delusion?) when I wrote in a journal what flowed to me. It's my attempt to fine tune Max's great contribution. It may be seriously flawed and I stake no claim to originality whatsoever. All honest (and even critical) assessments are welcomed and appreciated. So here it goes:

The root of all states of being and of having is CHOOSING to ASSUME that which has yet to physically materialize. (Read again and again.)

Thus the process of creation is:

1) Choose what you want to have or be.
2) Assume it as fact.
3) Act accordingly thru the power of your will.
4) Observe it's manifestation.
5) Then it shall be known (proven) to be true.

The key differences between this and Max's approach are:

A) "Assuming" being the second step instead of "knowing".
B) "Knowing" as the last step.
C) Added step of action thru the power of your will (William Walker Atkinson's influence on me.) as opposed to "getting out of the way".


Max's general theory is:

"Choosing what you want, knowing to be so and trusting it to be so, choose it and get out of the way". Or "Make a choice, let it go, get out of the way and enjoy the observation."


My theory is guided by my recent experiences. When I chose to assume that I was ....... and acted like it was so, people around me acted differently as if it were so and thru my observation I now know it to be true. When I chose to assume that I attracted ....... and acted like it was so, it came into my experience and thru my observation I now know it to be true.

Thank you again Max for your insight and by posting this I mean no disrespect to your great contributions to this forum. I'm just trying to discover the truth wherever it may be found by whomever or whatever means.

You're most welcome All I seek is the truth in it's most simpliest form, anyone and everyone can inspect, accept or reject anything I propose, I'm no expert, just a creation trying to understand it all

Enjoy!

For what it's worth my current 3-step approach:

A) DECIDE that you want to be/have "this".
B) PRETEND that you are/have "this".
C) INITIATE persistent and consistent FOCUS and ACTION (as if "this" is so) so that MOMENTUM builds until MANIFESTATION inevitably occurs.

[ao2007]

For what it's worth, this is where I'm at in attempting to understand the manifesting process.

DREAM FORMULA

1) Declare. (Declare firmly "I AM ...." in your mind.)
2) Resonate. (Resonate with the feeling of that "I AM...." state for a minimum of 2 minutes.)
3) Ego identify. (Ego identify with that state by declaring firmly in your mind "That is me." for a minimum of 1 minute.)
4) Act accordingly. (Act accordingly as if it is so.)
5) Manifestation occurs. (Manifestation occurs as your new state of being is fully integrated within yourself
and accepted as real by others.)
