The Power of Thought and Feeling
To connect with Spirit is to connect with the source of your strength.
In that union, you awaken to the true power of love within you and open a direct pathway to your highest and most inspired thoughts and feelings. Every human being participates in creating the world they experience, for creation begins in thought and is given form through feeling. Each day, we bring aspects of our inner world into expression, whether or not we are conscious of doing so. This creative capacity is a divine blessing, giving each of us the means to shape a life of greater abundance, joy, and harmony.
The ability to manifest our thoughts is a wonderful gift from the Divine that is our birthright.
It provides a direct way to reach peace of mind and loving experiences. This gift also serves as our Spiritual Teacher, always attempting to show us the quality of our thoughts that are constructive and benevolent, and those thoughts that belittle and sabotage and cause chaos in our lives and in the world. We witness and learn this intimately through our experiences. We have the immediate feedback of our successes or failures through our everyday experiences on the job and in our personal lives. Our learning seems slow and laborious until we realize that we are the creators of our world. We are the artists that use thought and feeling to paint the canvass of our lives. And we are responsible for what we do or don’t create. We are really very brilliant and amazing beings, spiritual beings in human expression. Once we realize and understand the power of our thoughts and feelings, the power of our spirit, we go through what is called a second birth. With the knowledge of this power and abilities of Spirit, we begin life again with greater purpose, perception, and direction, and we channel our thoughts and feelings into creating a healing environment of love, abundance, and harmony for ourselves and in turn, our world.
The majority of people on our planet are not yet enlightened enough to realize the creative and manifesting power of their own thoughts and feelings.
They think that if they hide their fear and self-doubt along with their hostile and depressed thoughts and feelings, then they are doing something good, and will appear to be benevolent, happy, and accepted in the world. They fail to realize that their inner world creates their outer world, and their environment, relationships, health and personal status of being. They are continually attracting people and situations that confirm their hidden thoughts and feelings.
Your thoughts and feelings combine to create an inner frequency that reflects either harmony or disharmony within you.
Scattered, confused, and fearful thoughts create disharmony, while clear, purposeful, and loving constructive thoughts create the greatest harmony and abundance. Your inner sound vibration can have a greater effect on your body than exterior influences, as it continually communicates the harmony or disharmony of your being to every atom and molecule in you, thereby creating the harmonic of health, or one of disease.
Your ideas express your psychic intent, generating the thoughts, emotions, and images through which external events are materialized. Ideas are energy given form and direction, while imagination and emotion are the most concentrated forms of energy you possess. A powerful emotion carries tremendous force—not to propel a rocket to the moon, but to carry your mental images and inner sounds across the threshold between the nonphysical and physical worlds. You are continually sending these images, powered by emotion, into the material world, where they take form as the events and experiences of your life. In this way, your thoughts and feelings become the parents of your reality.
It works something like this: When you dwell on helplessness or hopelessness, mental images form around those thoughts. Charged by the emotions accompanying them, these images move into the physical plane, attracting people, situations, and circumstances that confirm what you already think and feel. In this way, you experience your inner world reflected in the reality around you. Without awareness of this process, you may feel like a victim of the world because you have not yet recognized the role your thoughts, emotions, and mental images play in shaping your experiences.
Eventually, you will learn to release feelings of unworthiness and helplessness, forgive yourself for past mistakes, and create each day anew. When we discover a wiser and more loving way to meet a situation, we naturally begin to choose it. We also learn to say “no” with clarity, love, and intention.
The natural process of growth we all navigate can be painfully slow. In the ancient Mystery Schools, spiritual initiates learned to accelerate their growth through conscious effort and inner discipline. Many of us have attended these schools in past lifetimes and may need only a refresher to awaken what we already know, accelerate our present learning, and begin creating works of art and love that enrich our lives and our world.
In this New Day, we must recognize the power and influence of our thoughts and feelings. By connecting with Spirit, we gain fuller access to the inspired, enlightened, and abundant consciousness within us.
