RSSHOW TO ENERGIZE YOUR THOUGHTS
January 5, 2008
The book The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent is one of the very few motivational/inspirational materials I have read that I could connect with and incorporate into my own life. As you know from this article, I recommended that you read the book because it is helpful on so many levels.
Steve Pavlina’s articles on have also been central my present understanding of how I believe I can create the future I want. While the book above describes the theory of the Law of Attraction, Steve explains the practice incredibly well.
Opposite advice
It seemed as though there were two different concepts to grasp at the same time. The Hicks counsel you to peacefully, patiently, and easily permit your dreams to become real. The energy for the creation of your dreams in the real world comes from gratitude for all that you have, and from constantly reaching for a better-feeling thought.
Steve maintains that just having an intention is not enough. The biggest mistake people make when using The Law of Attraction to make them intentions become real is not giving the thought any energy. You have to actually ratchet up the energy behind the thought to give it a far better chance to be effective for you.
Gratitude is not enough
These two positions seemed to suggest you should be pulling in both directions at once and the forces would cancel each other out. Everyone decides where they fit on this spectrum of energy for their thoughts where it’s right for them.
While I like the idea of just allowing your dreams to flow towards you, it seems too easy. Anyone can do that and create nothing of value at all. The idea that you have to give something to get something must be deeply imprinted on my brain.
In this article, Steve details how to give your thoughts energy and then get the current flowing strongly enough to make the things you want real in your life. I still didn’t get it well enough to do it. I couldn’t get my head into that place and keep it there without an internal struggle.
Harry Potter, when all else fails
This answer came to me in the form of The Prisoner of Azkhaban. It’s the third Harry Potter movie from J.K.Rowling’s most awesome imagination. In it, Harry has to conjure a spell to repel bad creatures called Dementors that suck happiness and all the goodness from a place and all the people in it.
The spell is called a Patronus Charm. To produce this spell, he has to fill himself with the happiest thought he can find, not easily done if you’ve had Harry’s childhood. The first time he tries, he fails. The thought is too weak, although for those of us who know Harry, this was the only truly happy experience he’d ever had and it did fill him with great satisfaction and fulfillment.
His teacher suggests he needs another thought but the one Harry finds is not purely happy but it does not need to be. It need only be strong. For Harry, it was strong enough.
Energize your thoughts.
How I energize my thoughts
This is how I energize my thoughts.
Allow the target to fill you up. Feel everything good about having it already it.
Saturate your whole being with the idea.
Imagine only the best of things happening in relation to this thought.
Take limitless inspiration from the power that comes with the feeling.
Make your every brain wave so tuned to this one thought that you can feel an electric field flowing out of your head into the world around you.
Experience so much happiness from concentrating on your thought that you feel that shaky feeling between laughter and tears.
Begin to sense that the world around you is gently reorganizing itself to bring your desires straight to you.
The more energized your thoughts, the greater the momentum. This is a real perception, not something that you imagine.
There is a physical difference in the texture of the air, the atmosphere around you.
The Universe is now ready to do something elegant just for you.

wow - you were right - this guys is great - reading them now - my favourite is the one about fear - I definitely get that one - I believe in all this Law of Attraction (LOA) stuff as it worked for me in my last 5 years, doubled my income, changed careers, work from home, the whole bit, but fundamentally don’t trust stuff that has no “work” to it in the sense that you have to be clear, consistent and honest - and most of all active - this makes sense
thanks again
Thank you for posting this article. I also try hard to understand how my thoughts and beliefs work as much as humanly possible and this article helps tremendously. My appreciation to you is in the highest sense.
To show you my gratitude I would like to share with an article I found that also helps in regards to thoughts effecting reality in a logical way: http://consciousflex.blogspot.com/2008/01/set-in-motion-desired-future.html
Thank you indeed, please keep up the incredible work!
Patrick - Steve is good; glad you’re finding some good things there.
Divine - thank you for your kind words. You hit the nail on the head with ‘keep up the good work’ - it takes such focus to keep the target in your head, doesn’t it? Life gets in the way when you’re not paying attention. I look forward to visiting your blog. Your title looks brilliant.
Hi Christine
I love this site and the easy links and I’m so interested but I’m having a hard time with the see your world not as it is but as you want it to be, any more advice on how do I do this
Thanks

Great question, Lisette …because as soon as you get the question, you’re well on your way to finding the answer. And you will steer where you’re looking so you have to decide what you want to be looking at.
Seeing life this way takes practice. Some days, the best I can conjure is gratitude for what I already have but that counts because it’s the foundation of discovering what really matters to you. Are you thankful for your car or your health? It helps you release the fluff.
This type of thinking has been around for a long time. You’ve heard of the power of positive thinking. Do you know about the Law of Attraction? Search it at http://www.stevepavlina.com . He covers it well and he’s a matter-of-fact guy, not too ethereal at all. The book The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent is great too. The idea is that you’ll attract what you think about. You’ll create more of what you already are.
How real is anyone’s reality? Yours and mine differ. Your movie screen is showing a whole different feature than mine. The world of possibility is more interesting and fun. Read Ros and Ben Zander’s The Art of Possibility. It’s lovely. Read What Children Know That You’ve Forgotten, on this site. I think that at the end of the day, we all make our own reality. Allow yourself to see it as you want it to be. Who’s to say you’re wrong?
It’s a process of talking yourself into it. See the people around you as great and they’ll see that reflected back at them, and become that. See your life as great already, and it will be reflected back at you that way, and set in motion a process of becoming more great.
Nobody has this totally figured out. There is no one right formula that works for everyone. Crap still occurs. You just have to keep thinking about it and working on it. And I’ll do the same.
