It’s not rocket science. And it’s more than a little odd that people still continue to debate the issue.

We are what we think about and visualize on a sustained basis. Furthermore, we appear to create in the world around us events and circumstances that reflect our focused intent.

People who think good thoughts most of the time, and who choose to fill their minds with happy imagery and the best possibilities are often happy, successful, and healthy. You can find evidence of this statment every day in any town or village on planet earth.

Individuals who think bad thoughts most of the time, and who choose to fill their minds with gloom and doom, are often sad, impoverished, sickly, and miserable. You can find evidence of this statment every day in any town or village on planet earth.

We embody what we think and feel about. We become the thing that we envision most of the time.

What’s more, we tend to attract to us people who share our primary state of mind. And we manifest general circumstances that mirror our most intense thoughts.

It would appear the world is built from “thought substance”.  And it’s very possible that scientists will one day have hard evidence of the existence of this etheric stuff that responds to our thinking.

But even if they don’t, and even if you prefer to resist the idea of thinking substance, how can anyone seriously refute the clear and powerful impact of sustained thought on the outcomes and events that are our life experiences?

If we can sense things that have not yet happened, certainly we can also manifest events with focused intention. I’ve often thought about the “push/pull” relationship our minds have with the fabric of space and time.

For instance, when we intuitively sense a future event and then it comes to pass, what really happens? Are we just sensitive to the impending event, or did our focused thinking manifest it?

Or is life really the dance of both possibilities? I believe it is.

I love philosophy with a passion and while I’m not a student of science and mathematics I also love hearing about discoveries made on those frontiers. But the fact is our grasp of reality is very tiny and most definitely incomplete (to say the least).

It makes perfect sense to me that our consciousness can effect the stuff of Universal potential because I believe our minds are one with the creative source. We are a part of divinity, and thus we share in the creative process.

I’m not suggesting that the ego mind is able to create all things at will. I think the higher part of us is the creative center. But I do believe the ego self has the power to manifest.

In other words we really can create the life events and circumstances we desire. We can manifest reality with our thoughts.

We can heal ourselves, draw to us the perfect mate and live in constant inspiration and creativity.

Current trends in the self development industry are calling this wisdom the law of attraction. That exact term was coined in the English languae (as far as I know) by William Walker Atkinson in 1906, when he wrote his book Thought Vibration.

Many authors since then, including the well-known Norman Vincent Peale (Power Of Positive Thinking) have also used the term. But even prior to the emergence of the phrase law of attraction we have been aware of our innate ability to manifest.

I believe the concept is a natural one. And I believe it is only through intentional oppression, such as that seen in the Dark Ages, the Roman Empire, and the empires of Egypt and Sumer, that humanity has become ignorant of our ability to create reality.

I also think the current movement, worldwide, toward books and films like The Secret is extremely important. This is a time in human evolution where we seem to be moving toward (returning to?) our empowered nature.

If you haven’t given real consideration to the idea that you are co-creator of your life, I urge you to do so now. The whole world changes when you become a deliberate creator of your life, and you are able to help shape the entire human journey for the good of all.

The truth is you’re already creating reality, but this is happening at an unconscious level. Ideally, you’ll embrace your role as creator and begin to intentionally manifest the events, circumstances, and people in your life.

In marketing terms if a lot of companies are advertising a product or service it means there is a big demand. This is especially true when advertisers are shelling out for TV ads and Google campaigns for high traffic keywords.

Have a look at all the promotions for psychic services. It would appear that a significant portion of society has faith in paranormal activity and psychic powers.

This is a great sign of a shift in consciousness. It is comforting to think the paradigm of “only the material world” is fading.

However, I see a reliance on other people to provide my intuition as a bit of a counterproductive measure.

Everyone needs help in life, so it’s fine to get assistance from time to time. But I encourage my readers not to rely solely on the services of other people when it comes to applying psychic vision to your own life.

I am an advocate of the power within us all to see beyond the mundane and into the void. It may take some time to find and develop your inner voice and vision but it is well worth the journey.
