We all have a constant internal dialogue that controls our every reaction
and response. What we think and the words we speak have a specific effect
upon us. Most every problem both physical and psychological stems from
our addictive thought patterns. Our individual thought patterns form our
belief system, which is a set of rules, or opinions that our mind has been taught to accept
without question. Our beliefs about the world and ourselves are judgements, which are
decisions that we have made about what is and what is not truth.
Most of us tend to respond to much of life with a conditioned response. No matter how
different people or situations in the present may be we tend to overlook, because we are
being guided by being memories and are not able to detach from the previous ways in
which our minds have been trained to judge what we see, hear and feel. This usually
prevents us from living fully in the moment and experiencing what is in the present. We
tend to stay within our comfort zones even when they are self defeating because we fear
what is not known. Since birth we have been conditioned to believe that our feelings are
who we are, and right or wrong we seem to have this need to defend ourselves against
anything that challenges our belief systems or makes us feel unsafe. Our individual
beliefs have created a world filled with boundaries and limitations, which perpetuates
separation and mistrust. This ultimately leads to feelings of loneliness, frustration and
disappointment.
We as human beings many times fail to recognize that we attract what we need at any
given point in time through the universal law of attraction. This law of attraction is
responsible for what shows up in all aspects of our lives. Before we can experience
anything in the physical realm we must give thought to it. We create our own
experiences through our thoughts. We get what we think about and we get it all the time.
Many of us do not recognize the judgements that we are actually putting into motion
when we think or say things like, "I am not good enough; I can not have what I want, I
am not beautiful, No one understands me". Thoughts are magnetic and attract things that
are similar. If our thoughts, words and actions are in alignment with what we want then
this is what we will attract. However, if our thoughts and our words are focused on what
we do not want or what is wrong then we will only succeed in getting more of what we
don't want because this is what we are focused on.
Many of us spend most of our lives searching for something outside of ourselves to tell
us what is right and what is wrong, or to give us direction. Most of us do not recognize
the powerful spiritual guidance system that rests within that can be relied on. This
guidance comes through our emotions letting us know the appropriateness of what we are
thinking, speaking or doing in the moment. There are only two emotions - one feels good
and the other feels bad. As we think a thought, say, or do something that is not in
harmony with the essence of our highest being our inner self provides a negative
emotion. And likewise, when we are thinking, speaking and acting in harmony with that
which we truly are our inner being reflects positive emotions. Most of us are not able to
focus our thoughts on what we want because we have not been intentionally
concentrating our minds. Our mind wonders because of lack of discipline and being
creatures of habit we find that we recreate history over and over again. In order for us to
change our realities and have what we want we only have to allow it by releasing all that
