Maybe you have heard the phrase:
“Thoughts are things.” The more I learn, the more I realize how TOTALLY true
that idea is. Here are a few “things” for you think about . . .
First, consider this poem by
James Allen from his book “As a Man Thinketh”:
“ Mind is the
Master power that moulds and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The Tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills :--
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass :
Environment is but his looking glass.”
The first time I read this, it
didn’t resonate with my understanding of God. I intuitively knew, however, that
there was more to the poem than I was “getting.” The poem stuck permanently in
my mind. Then one day I had an “AHAH!” moment, and it all fit into place. Maybe
you will have a similar experience. I leave that up to you…
We have all heard about the
importance of having a “good attitude.” Employers look for people who think that
a glass filled to its center is “half full” rather than “half empty”. Dr. Norman
Vincent Peale taught millions of people the “Power of Positive Thinking.” Two of
Dr. Napoleon Hill’s “Principles of Success” were “Positive Mental Attitude” and
“Accurate Thinking”. You will not find a human potential book, class or
philosophy that doesn’t have these ideas as their core. With all that attention,
you would think that we would all understand the idea completely. Here is some
information that just may shift your paradigm a bit.
Dr. Masuro Emoto, a
researcher specializing in the study of water, has discovered and
photographically documented some amazing facts about the influence of music,
thoughts, and even spoken and written words on energy found in water.
It has long
been believed that water from different sources or that had been treated in
different ways had greatly different influences on the people and animals that
consumed it. If so, then what was the difference?
Through a
process of microscopic observation of small samples of water that were frozen at
-25ºC and then slowly thawed to -5ºC, Dr. Emoto was able to observe tremendous
variances in the crystallization of the water. This is important because the
crystallization varies as a result of the energy contained in the water.
In his
“Water Crystals In Motion – Messages from Water” video what struck me most was
the amazing influence that thoughts and words have on the energy structure.
Water that is “loved” or that has been spoken to or thought of with hopeful,
positive words and phrases develops beautiful, complex, magnificent crystalline
structures. Water that has been cursed or spoken to or thought of with negative,
hateful words or phrases will not develop crystals at all, and form a structure
reminiscent of the scum on sewer ponds. These samples will not even reflect
light back to the microscope well.
So, what
does that have to do with you? Think about this…
If you are a
die-hard “Star-Trek” fan, like me, you will remember the “Next Generation”
episode in which an antagonized silicone life-form described humans as “big,
ugly bags of mostly water.” I can’t agree with the “ugly” part, but we are
definitely all “big bags of mostly water” – 80% or more, as I recall from
science class.
Given that
we are mostly water, and now knowing about the effects of thoughts and words on
water, which would you rather that your body and the bodies of your friends and
family be: beautiful, magnificent, sparkling crystals, or clumping, repulsive
swamp water? The way you think and speak has a tremendous influence on you and
your environment.
The next
time you find your thoughts and words or the thoughts and words in your
environment to be less than positive, constructive and enlightened, stop and
give some consideration about what results you want to create. Really! Think
about it!

amazing power of thoughts from some of the greatest minds that
have ever lived, watch "The
Secret" video.
