  The

World

is What You

Think It Is

Positive thoughts

attract

positive people and events, and negative thoughts attract negative

people

and events. 

Corollary:

Everything

is a dream 

Dreams are real

and reality

is a dream. The only test we use for a reality check is whether or not

someone else experiences it. Hallucination means " your dream doesn't

match

my dream. " " Reality " to a shaman is a mass hallucination, or a shared

dream.

If this life is a dream and if we can wake up fully within it, then we

can change the dream by changing our dreaming.

Corollary: All

systems

are arbitrary

All meanings are

made

up and the Absolute Truth is whatever you decide it is. What matters is

how well the system works for you, not how true it is (which is an

arbitrary

concept).

 

There are

No Limits

We experience two

kinds

of limitations: creative and filtered.

Creative

limitation assumes

the purposeful establishment of limits within an infinite universe in

order

to create particular experiences, made by God or our own Higher Selves.

These enable us to experience life as humans on Earth (to play by that

particular set of rules - breaking the rules changes to another game).

Filtered limitations are imposed by ideas and beliefs that inhibit

creativity

rather than enhance it, like beliefs that engender hopelessness,

helplessness,

revenge and cruelty. They generate focus without the potential for

positive

action. 

Corollary:

Everything

is connected 

The usual

metaphor is

a web of interdependence.

Corollary:

Anything is

possible

All you have to

do is

believe. However, because you are not alone in the Universe, the degree

to which something can be shared depends on the beliefs of others

around

you. 

Corollary:

Separation

is a useful illusion 

Pure empathy

makes you

as helpless as the one suffering. Fear make you lose sight of your role

as dream weaver.

  Energy

Flows Where Attention

Goes

Meditation and

hypnosis

are simply different techniques for doing the same thing - refocusing

your

attention toward more positive beliefs and expectations. As states,

both

are identical conditions of sustained focused attention. Those aspects

of your present experience which seem enduring are the effect of

habitual

sustained focused attention carried on by your subconscious. 

Corollary:

Attention

goes where energy flows

Attention is

attracted

to all kinds of high energy intensity.

Corollary:

Everything

is energy Thought is energy and one kind of energy can be converted

into

another kind of energy. Now is the

Moment of Power

Karma exists and

operates

only in the present moment. It is your beliefs, decisions, and actions

today about yourself and the world around you that give you what you

have

and make you what you are.

Thanks to memory

we may

carry over habits of body and mind from day to day, but each day is a

new

creation and any habit can be changed at any present moment - even if

it

isn't easy.

You select out of

the

immense resources of your gene pool those characteristics that best

reflect

your present beliefs and intentions. Your parents/social background

have

nothing to do with your present, but what you believe about them now

and

how you react to those beliefs does.

Corollary:

Everything

is relative

You define " now "

based

on your focus (second, hour, year, lifetime).

Corollary: Power

increases

with sensory attention

Many people

living today

aren't even here - most of their attention is focused on the past or

the

future. To the degree they diminish their awareness of the present

moment,

their power and effectiveness in the present also decreases.

To Love is

to Be Happy

With

Love exists to

the degree

that you are happy with the object of your love. The unhappy part comes

from fear, anger and doubt. To be deeply in love means to be deeply

connected,

and the depth and clarity of the connection increases as fear, anger

and

doubt are removed.

Corollary: Love

increases

as judgment decreases

Criticism kills

relationships;

praise builds and rebuilds them. When you give praise you reinforce the

good and it grows. When you criticize you reinforce the bad and it

grows.

Corollary:

Everything

is alive, aware and responsive

You subconscious

takes

any praise or criticisms it hears to heart, even if its directed

elsewhere,

even if you're saying it. Each criticism separates you from and

decreases

your awareness of what you criticize, until you end up responding to a

secondary creation of your own that may no longer resemble the

original.

When someone criticizes you, praise yourself to counteract it.

All Power

Comes From Within

For every event

that

you experience you creatively attract it through your beliefs, desires,

fears and expectations, and then react to it habitually or respond to

it

consciously. This does not mean that you are to blame for your abuse or

injury, because you were probably not conscious of your negative

beliefs,

attitudes and expectations. It also does not mean the other person is

innocent.

Corollary:

Everything

has power

You do not have

ALL the

power in the world - everyone has the same power. The good news - you

can

work with these powers.

Corollary: Power

comes

from authority Confident authority is the key to conscious creation.

  Effectiveness

is the Measure

of Truth

The means

determine the

end, not the ends justify the means. What is really important is what

works.

Corollary: There

is always

another way to do anything Every problem has more than one solution. If

the goal is important, you should never give up, just change your

approach.
