All Thoughts

In my work on the dynamics of smoking, I have found that a smoker exerts a strong mind over matter effect on the body to allow themselves to smoke which in turn makes it difficult to simply stop smoking. Smokers have created a Psychological Smoking Mechanism to mentally suppress the normal body defenses to hot polluted smoke entering their delicate lungs. How is this possible?

It is well established in psychology that attitudes and beliefs affect thoughts. Thoughts in turn, affect our behavior, our bodies and even our state of health. But what if thought was more powerful than just affecting behavior and our personal well-being? What if thought actually affected matter outside ourselves?

Sounds like science fiction doesn’t it? We tend to believe that our thoughts are our own and have no force outside ourselves but research in Quantum Physics suggests that this notion is not correct. We are electromagnetic beings and our thoughts radiate out from us like a broadcast signal impacting things inside us and around us. Although we would like to believe that our thoughts are “private”, research has shown that thought DOES affect matter outside of ourselves. This gives a whole new meaning to “watch what you think!”

A very exciting body of scientific research has demonstrated the effects of thoughts on water! In this article, we will explore a characteristic of water that is not usually considered. Water stores thought energy and this energy impacts whoever or whatever uses the water.

Water is Dull and Wet!

When most people think of water, they think of it as a dull, uninteresting liquid. I don’t know how many people over the years have told me that they don’t like to drink water. Yet, water is necessary for life. In fact, our bodies are made up of about 70 percent water. A person can go a long time without eating but not without water.

Rather than being dull, there appears to be a great deal more to water than a simple combination of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Water appears to be a storage device and can be programmed by thought.

Water Gets a New Publicist

Research on the effects of thought on water has been around for a long time. But no one outside of scientific circles knew about it. It wasn’t until 2004, when the public was introduced to the impact of thought on water with the release of a movie called What the BLEEP Do We Know!? This movie was an introduction to concepts of Quantum Physics and presented some very fascinating ideas. The movie also introduced the work of Masaru Emoto, a Japanese man who discovered a way to visibly demonstrate the effects of thought on water!

Why was Masaru Emoto so interested in water? He had suffered from foot pain and a friend at his office had given him some water that had been specifically programmed with thought energy to heal his pain. Mr. Emoto, rather skeptically used the water and the pain went away. He was intrigued and had to know more.

Mr. Emoto was not scientifically trained but he knew there had to be a way to demonstrate the impact of thought on water. One day, he had the inspiration that the quality of water could be determined by crystallization.

The Method

Although Mr. Emoto was not trained in science, he knew a coworker that did have this training. When he told the coworker he wanted to take pictures of water crystals, the man said based on his experience, it was not possible. However, Mr. Emoto was confident it could be done and determined to do it. He kept encouraging the doubting researcher and eventually convinced him it could be done.

After two months of struggle, the first water crystal picture was taken. Over time, the method was improved and many water crystal pictures have been taken some of which were shown in the movie, What the BLEEP Do We Know!?

What Did Emoto Find?

Masaru Emoto discovered that water subjected to positive thoughts formed beautiful crystals and water exposed to negative thoughts formed either no crystals or deformed ones. He concluded that the water was affected by thought.

His further research showed that different thoughts could be stored in water and have a positive effect on the human body just as he experienced with the removal of his foot pain. Of course, many people may think this ridiculous but research shows the properties of water ARE affected by thought and other forms of energy such as magnetic fields.

Scientific Research Demonstrates Emoto is Correct!

Lynne McTaggart wrote an excellent book called The Field. This book deals with research findings in Quantum Physics. A body of research presented in the book that clearly supports Mr. Emoto was conducted in the 1960′s by biologist Dr. Bernard Grad of McGill University in Montreal.

Dr. Grad wanted to see if people can actually transmit healing energy to others. Rather than using person to person contact, he decided to use plants. This was a control method to eliminate the placebo effect.

In the first part of his study, he decided to make plants ill by soaking their seeds in salty water which retards growth. He had two experimental conditions. In the first, the control, he just had a container of salt water. In the second, he had a person known for “psychic” healing lay hands on the salt water container. Afterwards, the seeds were divided into two groups and soaked in the plain salt water or the treated salt water.

The results were unexpected. The seeds soaked in the water treated by intense thought grew taller than the untreated batch. It was a tightly controlled experiment and the results demonstrated that whatever the “healer” did to the water, was reflected in the improved health of the plants!

What Happens with Negative Thoughts?

In his first study, Dr. Grad demonstrated the effects of positive thoughts on water which had a positive effect on the plants that used it. He hypothesized that if the effect in the first study was accurate, that the opposite would occur with negative thoughts.

Dr. Grad decided that the best source of negative thoughts was disturbed psychiatric patients. One patient in his experimental group was diagnosed with psychotic depression and was noticeable more depressed than the other patients. He had each patient hold containers of plain water and marked them to know which patient held which container. He also used untreated water as a control. When Dr. Grad used the water to sprout seeds, all the water samples held by the psychiatric patients produced poor growth but the water from the extremely depressed person suppressed growth!

Again, these were plants and not subject to the placebo effect. They were being affected by the water that had been simply held by psychiatric patients. In other words, the patients were doing nothing more than being themselves and the water was affected!

Test Equipment Confirms Change in Water

Dr. Grad had much more scientific resources available to him than Masaru Emoto. Using infrared spectroscopy, he discovered that the water treated by the healer had minor shifts in its molecular structure and decreased hydrogen bonding between the molecules. This is the same thing observed when water has been exposed to magnetic fields. Thought DID affect the water!

This fits in nicely with the beautiful crystals (Positive Thoughts) versus the deformed or no crystals (Negative Thoughts) found by Emoto.

Conclusion

Research demonstrates that thought affects water and water retains this change. The water in turn, affects whatever uses it. Since our bodies are about 70% water, it is likely that our thoughts, both positive and negative, affect this water which in turn reflects back to us.

It’s been well demonstrated in psychology that negative thoughts adversely affect health. Perhaps the effect on the water in our bodies is one way this happens.

The important lesson to learn from this research is that thoughts are powerful and affect us. It is important to make sure our thoughts are positive thoughts!

The faculty of thinking or reasoning in support of any object and subject of the world are logical or scientific thought. The faculty of thinking or reasoning in support of spiritual issues is spiritual thoughts. The product of mental activity with which we think about ourselves and God is called spiritual thoughts. The spiritual thoughts are different from the spiritual wisdom and logic or scientific thought.

Feelings of self and spiritual wisdom are related to God now. The spiritual thought is the collection of our submission on the issues and is linked to past or imagining the future. Spiritual thoughts are spiritual wisdom from the holy books of faith as the Bible, Koran, Gita or say holy people. The spiritual thoughts are creating our state of mind that the spiritual wisdom itself comes from the inner consciousness.

The thought that identifies the body with a lot of things and objects of the world are called logical or scientific thinking. The thought that snapped our identity with the body with a lot of things and objects of the world are called spiritual thoughts. The spiritual thought leads us to raise awareness and experience the true identity with itself. . All thoughts of inspiration, education mantra, and spiritual growth are spiritual thoughts.

Good life in happiness with spiritual thoughts. Many people living in the crisis of the illusion of knowledge, in the same place and similar situations. What you see with your eyes and hear with their ears is the system of logical thought. How do you feel and look beyond their experience with their eyes and hear with their ears is the spiritual thought. The sages say that the system of logical thought are simply illusory knowledge, perception, and will continue to evolve with the transformation of the mind. The wise live with the system of spiritual thought of all things essentially the base and their properties.

To purchase a system of thought of many things spiritual, we must study the basic substance of things and their properties and to download our attachment and hatred with her thoughts. To acquire true spiritual thoughts, we must explore the inner self which is created and its properties. Any system of logical thinking learned in a university is entitled to see with eyes and sight, hearing and order his thoughts. Therefore, the knowledge gained through the senses – an illusory consciousness.

As the system of the mind continues to transform the experience of age and education in college, all systems of human knowledge continues to evolve. What civilization is to continue to grow and learn new ways to study the basic substance of many things that are made and their properties, including the system of thought of human civilization, always changing?
. The sages say that the system of logical thought is simply our knowledge, perception, and will continue to evolve with the transformation of the mind.

The sacred books of different religions are a source of spiritual thoughts and the actual properties of many things and be inside. However, feeling, high level of meditation is necessary. The simple understanding of the significance of the eyes and ears is purely theoretical thought out. Therefore, many religious scholars are devoid of certain spiritual thoughts

Woo-Woo Person: “I’ve been doing all the visualizations, affirmations, and negativity purging; but nothing is happening. I’m still broke!”

Prosperity Mentor: “Does your thinking lead to any ACTION?”

Woo-Woo Person: “Well…not much, yet. But isn’t the time and energy I spent on the other stuff enough?”

Prosperity Mentor: “If your thinking doesn’t lead to action, how can you be prepared to jump on opportunities that lead you to your dream life?

What can you give now to the person capable of giving you what you desire? Remember, that person will expect something in return. And that something must be of equal or greater value.

Do you have it?”

Woo-Woo Person: “Hmm…?”

The Woo-Woo Person is at one end of the “Think – Do Spectrum”. The other extreme is the No-Think, Purely Practical Person (but that’s a discussion for another article.)

The Woo-Woo Person believes that thought is all that’s needed to manifest his desires. But when Woo-Woo People aren’t manifesting their desires, the big question is this: Are they really thinking in the Certain Way? That is, are they thinking in a way that serves them best; a way that ensures prosperity, a way that is congruent with their whole being? And most importantly, does their thinking lead to ACTION?

If not, life becomes a futile cycle of “one step forward, then two steps back.”

- FUEL FOR THE MAGICAL MANIFESTATION MACHINE -

In the grand scheme of things, ALL thoughts, beliefs, and speech contribute to the magical manifestation machine called the Universe. Thought is the fuel that the machine needs to create individual realities. Every positive AND negative thought is registered and acted upon. The Universe doesn’t filter out so-called “good or bad” things. IT let’s you decide. This is called free-will. It is a powerful gift; a gift that most people throw away by choosing to think by default (also called ‘the lemming mentality”); instead of by design (conscious creation through controlled thought).

When negative thoughts are allowed to enter the mind through the front door (meaning: conscious, self-defeating self-talk); or through the back door (i.e., subconscious thought resulting from past training, conditioning, and experiences), even the best laid plans are doomed from the start.

Most of the time, positive and negative thoughts cancel each other out, leading to a “push-me, pull-you” situation resulting in no progress made at all. If you continue doing this, you expend tremendous amounts of precious time and life energy; only to end up where? Back to (or behind) square one!

- THE “MENTAL AVOIDER” LETS HIS GUARD DOWN -

It takes a constant “Security Thought Patrol,” stationed on the perimeter of the mind, to repel negative thoughts. The Patrol should only allow positive thoughts to enter. Your Patrol should challenge all questionable immigrants into your mind with the proverbial “Halt! Who goes there?”

Controlling your own thoughts is no small task. In fact, many people will engage in anything to keep from having to think about their thoughts. For them, any distraction (activity or person) will suffice.

Life becomes an endless parade of half-hearted attempts at success and/or multiple shallow relationships. Looking outside themselves, seeking the next tension-relieving activity, temporarily keeps them from really thinking about themselves. And even worse, it prevents them from spending their time on activities that bring them closer to achieving their ultimate life goals.

- THE VICTIM: “OH, WOE IS ME…” -

Unfortunately, even in this modern age of self-discovery and self-improvement, the victim mentality is still alive and well. The fact is that playing the victim role is too tempting and too easy for most to resist.

In the victim mentality game, all participants are conveniently absolved from any real, personal responsibility. Victims will blame everything and everybody else for their own personal plights.

The years pass. And a string of awful jobs, business failures, and broken relationships only bolster their deep depression, anger, and hopelessness.

Unless these people take full responsibility for their own lives, they will continually spin their wheels, go nowhere, and struggle against all their imagined oppressors. They don’t see that THEY ARE THE CAUSE.

Both the “mental avoider” and the “victim” are attempting something impossible. They are trying to hide from themselves. Resembling ostriches, they figuratively stick their heads in the ground and semi-hope for the best. They have mentally given up. Passion is non-existent and life is endured, not lived.

These people are truly insane; meaning: they believe things will change on their own accord WITHOUT changing their current ways of thinking and doing. Sadly, they will continue waiting for something that will never come.

It really can be different. It just takes proper planting and care. James

Allen, in his classic book “As A Man Thinketh,” tells us that the mind is like a garden. Neglect allows weeds to grow. Seeds for flowers must be planted and constant care is needed to produce a beautiful garden (and mind).

Negative thoughts, like weeds, easily spring up when nothing else is planted.

- DON’T TRY TO ERASE IT. REPLACE IT! -

Individual conditioning (past and present) plants an overabundance of repeating, negative thought. This is why so many people seem to never move forward in life.

But it’s not possible to NOT think about something! This is how Dostoyevsky used to terrorize his brother by telling him NOT to think about a “big, ferocious, white Polar Bear with sharp teeth and killer claws.”

Suggesting NOT to think about something brings about its exact image! The best way to get rid of a repetitive, negative thought is to REPLACE IT.

When I was a young man in the military, I remember the first time I was ordered to perform my first free-fall parachute evolution (mission). Even though my static line (automatic parachute deployment using an “umbilical cord” attached to the airplane) jumps were somewhat easy and fun; the thought of free-falling from a much higher altitude AND having to judge when to pull my ripcord was, to say the least, unsettling.

My Jump Master (a salty Master Sergeant) successfully used the REPLACEMENT method to cure any reticence about free-fall jumping. He would shout, “Son, Fear and Desire can not live in the same mind! Repeat after me: I WANT OUT OF THIS AIRPLANE NOW! I NEED TO JUMP NOW! …I can’t hear you! Say it again: I WANT OUT OF THIS AIRPLANE NOW! I NEED TO JUMP NOW! Go! Go! Go!

Needless to say, it worked. I exited the aircraft and immediately began flying through the air like Superman. And as the delight of free-falling filled my whole body and soul, I screamed THANK-YOOOOOO to that Big Master Sergeant above!

- DIGITAL MEDIA AND YOUR MIND -

Here’s another way of explaining the REPLACEMENT method (and why you should use it).

Think of your mind like any other form of digital storage media (i.e., internal and external hard drives, USB memory sticks, I-Pods, .mp3 players, etc.). When you believe that you’re “erasing” something on it, you really aren’t.

Any techie (or savvy computer person) will tell you that “deleting or erasing” something merely means that you “gave permission for further information to overwrite whatever is in that particular space.” In other words, until you overwrite the information, it’s still there! How do you think information recovery systems work? They all operate on the fact that initial “deletions” are merely “gate openings,” allowing information to be overwritten. Your mind operates the same way. Until you “overwrite” certain thoughts, they will always remain.

Choose your replacement thoughts carefully. The more different the replacement thought is, the better. In fact, if you can think of its opposite, use it! Replace fear with desire; replace hopelessness with certainty; and most of all replace hate with love.

- YOUR THOUGHTS: SERVICE OR SABOTAGE? -

All Law of Attraction and Science of Getting Rich gurus agree on one thing: Your thoughts can definitely serve you or sabotage you. Do your thoughts make you feel good? If they don’t, why continue to think them? Do your thoughts overtly or covertly sabotage you? Not sure? Just look at the results of your present thinking and doing. If your present results are not what you desire, why keep their underlying causes (the thoughts that created them in the first place) alive?

Many people (myself included) believe that all suffering can be traced to an error in thought. This is simply because we as powerfully thinking individuals have the ability to assign our own connotations of “good or bad” to anything in life.

If any thought makes you feel bad or uncomfortable; either replace it, or find the seed of goodness in it.

I like to combine the slogans of Naploeon Hill (the author of the classic book “Think and Grow Rich”) and Russell Conwell (founder of Temple University and acclaimed “Acres of Diamonds” lecturer) into one phrase: “In every seemingly bad situation or apparent failure is the seed for its solution. And it is this magic seed that will produce your own acres of diamonds.” There is ALWAYS something good. You just have to find it.

Think. Think hard!

After you realize that the above is true, it’s almost ridiculous to continue thinking thoughts that do not serve you. Only a masochist would purposely subject themselves to this kind of perpetual mental torture.

Why continue to think thoughts that make you feel bad? Do your feel like they are the only things that make you unique? If so, you must realize that such a belief is a form of mental, emotional, and spiritual suicide.

It is pure and utter nonsense to believe that your uniqueness is solely because of your negative thoughts. You are special because you are special. ‘nuff said. No one else is now, or will ever be, you. Accept this powerful thought. No one – and I mean no one – has the same abilities and desires that you have.

Do you think your thoughts were meant to bring you unhappiness? Do you think that some deviant, ironic, universal force planted them into your mind for the perverse pleasure of seeing your mental turmoil? OF COURSE NOT!

Your thoughts, especially thoughts about what you desire in life, are the clues to your ultimate happiness. They are the little hints that can produce life-changing results. They are whispers in the wind, co-created by you and the Universe.

I like to think of them (thoughts that serve us well) as the bread crumbs carefully placed in our life path, leading us to our own personal utopia.

Rest assured that if you weren’t capable of achieving your desires, you wouldn’t have the thoughts about them in the first place. In other words, every thought of a desire is backed by the power and possibility of achieving it.

Now, back to the main topic of having your thoughts serve you…

I’ve spent most of my life living by simple checklists. It’s not silly to use them. Airplane pilots, astronauts, and almost all successful people employ them. In fact, during my military career, following those little checklists saved my life many times.

So, here’s a checklist for you – the “Service Thought vs. Sabotage Thought” – personal checklist. It will help you decide whether a certain thought serves you or sabotages you.

By no means is this checklist “all inclusive.” Use it as the point of departure in making your own “Service Thought vs. Sabotage Thought” personal checklist. In all instances, if the answer is “no,” replace it or refine it (find the good in it).

1. Does the thought make me feel good?

2. Does the thought inspire me?

3. Does the thought energize me?

4. Does the thought motivate me to ACT?

5. Is the resultant ACTION an effective action (i.e., action that brings me closer to my life goals)?

Remember, thoughts that serve you are always positive. They lead you to the good things in life. They are exciting. They are related to your individual desires and personal passions. They point the way to creativity, not competition. They sharpen you, instead of dull you. In short, they heal, instead of hurt.

And last, but not least, THEY LEAD TO ACTION.

How do your thoughts serve you, my friend?

Question by Peace! Lotus Flower: Thoughts…?
“There is nothing more important than thought. Deed follows word and word follows thought. And where the thought is mighty and pure, the result is mighty and pure”
Gandhi

Using my day to reflect on my thoughts, especially the self-defeating ones! How when I’m not content with myself, how I find the need to project these thoughts into feelings and then on to others.
I’ve gotten honest and when I have Loving thoughts about myself, I can and will have Loving thoughts for others.
I tend to be more tolerant and accepting. Not so annoyed and unwilling to patient and kind.
What about you?
Do you ever ponder how your thoughts, postive and negative,
effect your outlook on life and the people around you?
Brightest Blessings
