You Are More Powerful Than You Think!
I am reading a wonderful book by Gregg Braden, The Divine Matrix. He presents 20 keys for conscious creation. It is another way of deepening our understanding of the Law of Attraction and the higher Law of Vibration.
So many of us do not see how powerful we are. We are content to sit back and think that we are powerless. What can I do, I am only one person? There is so much we can do. John Wheeler, a Princeton Physicist says that the simple act of looking at something changes it. We are not the audience, nor are we living our lives as if someone in the heavens is controlling everything we do. We are co-creators of our lives.
What if you lived your life by that reality? What would you change? What would you think about? How would your life be different?
I think this is great news! To me this means that we can change our lives.
What do you spend time thinking about? What beliefs do you hold about your life? I would love it if you shared your thoughts about this with me.

Hi Susan
First of all, thank you for mentioning Greg Braden in your post. I love his work and you reminded me that I purchased his new book, “The Spontaneous Healing of Belief” and have not read it yet. I will make a point to begin doing that today.
Susan, you have asked what we (your readers) spend time thinking about. Well, several months ago, in order to “clean up my act”, so to speak, I started a journal to keep track of any negative thoughts that I have, as soon as I become aware of them. I was surprised by how many seemingly insignificant, critical thoughts crossed my mind each day. I have always considered myself to be a very positive person, and so I was amazed at how many negative little musings still sneak in.
As soon as I made a commitment to do this, I started really noticing them. LIttle things like, “what a gloomy looking day”, or “that person isn’t doing a very good job”, or “what a terrible driver” etc. I suddenly became very conscious of what was going on in my head. I also recorded the positive thoughts and experiences as well, and now I am pleased to say that I have much more positive thoughts than negative ones.
However, most of us do have these kinds of negative thoughts running through our minds constantly, all day long, but we are so used to them, that we don’t even notice they are there. These are the things that keep our dreams and desires from manifesting.
I believe this applies to our actions as well, you know the daily little choices we make that are really not in the direction of our goals and aspirations, eg. like not keeping our word to someone else or even ourselves, when we said that we would do something and we don’t. Just little things like that, that don’t seem so important at the time.
Well, guess what? In the big picture, all of these little things add up and keep us stuck!
I believe it is important to focus as much as possible on ONLY those things that we desire by appreciating all that we already have. Staying in a really good feeling place fueled by positive thoughts and emotions. This is not to say that when we feel very sad and need to cry, that we should not. We should let that sadness move through us. Once we allow ourselves to really feel it, it will move very quickly and we will feel so much better for having experienced it.
It is all really about living our life in a very conscious way. This is hard to do in the beginning, but after a while, it will become much easier and you will begin to notice when you are off centre, so to speak.
That is why Eckhart Tolle recommends that we try to BE in the moment. Because when we are fully present in the now, we are not having these kinds of thoughts. When you are totally absorbed in the beauty of a flower, noticing every detail of the stem and leaves, captivated by the exquisite colors and textures, intoxicated by the sweet fragrance and aroma, your mind is only there. You and the flower are one, in a kind of bliss state. I have done this with many flowers and they have spoken to me.
It can be the same for anything that we are doing, even folding the laundry. When we are so enthralled with that one experience, those negative thoughts really can’t get in. The illusion of time no longer exists, it appears to stand still, and we seem to have forever.
I hope this has been helpful to you Susan and your readers. It has been helpful for me just to write about it.
Sorry if I got a little carried away here, but you have touched on a subject close to my own heart.
Take care and have a delicious day filled with delectable thoughts!
Blessings, Veronica

Dear Veronica
Thank you so much for your sharing. I appreciate you taking the time to share them with all of us. The Spontaneous Healing of Belief is the next book I want to read by Gregg Braden. Let me know what you think of it.
You are right….We are what we think and that in turn creates our feelings which drive our actions that produce the results we get in our lives
The key is to focus on what we want! But first we have to decide what that is.
I like what you did by tracking both your thoughts. Left to my own devices, I have a very negative thought track that loops through my head.
I use a gratitude journal to help change my feelings. I know that when I am in a state of gratitude, my negative feelings dissapate and I am much better able to attract the things I want to in my life.
Changing the way we think about things requires concentrated action. It doesn’t go away by itself. Yet left unchecked, they zap our energy and prevent us from living the lives we want.
Wising you abundance and prosperity,
Susan

Veronica, very nice argument. I believe in the power to tap into your subconscious mind using deep trance self hypnosis, replace messages with fresh hypnotic affirmations and control your abundance Prosperity and wealth can be controlled by you and your actions. Learn how to use hypnosis to attract money. It worked for me and my friends. The mind is powerful. If you repeat affirmations over and over, visualize your new wealth, believe it will come, know it’s yours, know you deserve it, and all this while under a hypnotic trance, then wealth is inevitable.
