Really good article Paul. The book you refer to is one of the most powerful reminders of our mostly neglected divine creative powers that I have come across in years.

It’s so easy to dimiss the little things only to have them pop up to “annoy” us in daily life if we don’t focus on what we really want and vibrate to attract it.

Things get so much easier when we tune in…it’s amazing.

Oooh! This is powerful. It’s amazing how we sabotage ourselves with speaking one way and thinking another.

The quote from Hicks about action not being aligned with thought gave me the mental image of a hamster running on one of those wheels–working so hard but never going anywhere. What a relief and start of a new way of living it is to focus on and believe we can have what we want.

I like your suggestion about noting what we have that we once wanted and now have and still want. It’s a short profound step from there to noting what we want and feeling it is already ours. If we can do this once we can do it infinite times.

Leah.. you are so right. I think that is what Shakespear was talking about – To be or not to be – that is the question. In fact THAT is the only question. All else is filler. You might enjoy a book called “Harmonic Wealth” by James Ray. He was one of the contributors to “The Secret”. It’s all about your vision of reality.

Hi Paul,
Neal Walsh also talks about this in Conversations with God. I wasn’t keen on reading it because of the title but in the end I found it to be quite fascinating. In there the author has a conversation with God (actually more of an argument which is funny) and God says (I’m paraphrasing but you get the gist) – “well you wanted more so I gave you more wanting”! Really it’s the Be, Do, Have mentality we need – to BE what we want first leads to the HAVING.

I’ve been having trouble exactly of the type you described: misaligned thinking! This article has really helped me. I can apply it to things in my life that need improvement, just like you did with the car example.

Thank you for writing this because I was just feeling pretty down about something but reading this gave me a much needed “kick in the pants” as they say. I intend to focus on this example next time I start to feel down as a reminder.

I love having your blogs pop up in my igoogle reader, as today I definitely needed to read this post! I’ve just transitioned to a new job (which I love) but noticed that I was starting to think about other things in my life that also need improvement — but I wasn’t clear/thinking about what I wanted, instead I was getting overwhelmed and annoyed at what I didn’t have yet/achieved yet.

Relaxing and realigning one’s thoughts is crucial to really getting back on track and making things happen. It’s so easy sometimes to focus entirely on the problem, rather than visualizing the solution. Thanks for the great post – good work!

Negative thinking will attract negative people, and cause negative things to happen. Our minds are the single-handed most powerful tools we have as humans. I have quite a few friends that suffer from the negative bug severely, and I hate to say it, but success will never reach their doorsteps unless a change is made. Two words that I use to remind myself on a daily basis of the impact of negative and misaligned thinking:

Thought Manifestation

If you think it, visualize it, and take the necessary steps to achieve it, it will manifest itself.
