Power of Thought.
Your thoughts create your future. Positive thoughts create positive outcomes.
Fearful thoughts attract to you the very thing you fear. A
key to the success of self-transformation is knowledge of the meaning of the phrase
"Energy follows thought." Subtle matter (etheric, emotional,
mental) can be
manipulated through thought. Whenever you have a thought, you provide a
blueprint to the form builders in the subtle world to manifest your intention or
desire. The form builders are the
elementals
which are evolving toward matter or darkness and Deva
or Angel kingdom which are evolving toward Spirit or Light. Humans contain
both, hence our innate conflict. Whatever thought
you think, the form builders
or the thought-form carpenters automatically seek to manifest it by ensouling the
thought with their essence. Thus, thoughts are living, radiating entities
whose life duration is a function of the vitality of the thought-form. Repeated
thought-forms are constantly charged with vitality and thus have a longer life
and greater power to affect their environment. A clearly
visualized and repeated mental picture will always manifest physically. If it is
a harmful thought it will be ensouled with involutional elemental substance, if
beneficial, it will be ensouled with angelic/devic substances. Through
this process over many life times your aura is built. Thus, you are
your own absolute law giver, the decreer of your life, your reward, and your
punishment. By your habitual thoughts, you develop the consciousness of either a
saint, full of radiant light or a demon, blinded by his own self-created
darkness.
Japa or repetition of a divine name of God is an example of a repeated
thought-form that will fill your aura with angelic substance and light.
Meditation on the virtues
of the heart (patience, compassion, love, service, etc) is
another example of a repeated thought that will literally build that virtue
into your consciousness so that you actualize the virtue as a result of
literally building the devic substance of that quality into your mental and
emotional vehicles.
TheTibetan Master Djwhal Kuhl stated the following:
"I wonder if the students have any idea
how the ideals I seek to bring to their attention could illumine their lives
if they took them into their "brooding consciousness" for the
space even of a month. This aspect of consciousness is the
correspondence in the soul body to the mother aspect, as it broods
over, guards and eventually brings to the birth the Christ aspect. Lives
are changed primarily by reflection; qualities are developed by directed
conscious thought; characteristics are unfolded by brooding consideration. To
all this I call your attention" (p.303-304, Esoteric Psychology, Vol 2).
The Soul
is a Deva (Angelic) Master and can control and transform all of the elemental and devic
substance in your lower vehicles. Its instrument, the Soul Star, is also a deva
and aids the Soul in its work of purification and vivification of the
personality vehicles. The chakras are the Soul's instruments of expression in
the physical, emotional, and mental world. When conditions are right, it
is the Soul that awakens the chakras, and cooperates with the lower self in
purifying the vehicles. Hence, success in meditation is increased when it is performed with
Soul focus.
Visualization is the first step in the
demonstration of the principle "energy follows thought." It
provides the pattern or blueprint that energy must follow. The ability to
make clear powerful thought forms is a learned skill and according to the
Tibetan Master, 85% of humanity lack that skill. The following two books provide
exercises you can practice to improve your ability to make effective thought forms: 1. The Master
Key by Charles
Haanel and 2. Wisdom of the Mystic Masters by Joseph Weed.
One of the most practical ways I know of making your
thought-forms manifest is to create goals and objectives to guide your life
and your actions. This approach has been almost universally embraced by
business management where it is known as management by objectives (MBO). One
of my favorite advocates of this method is Stephen R. Covey who advocates an
ethically principled and values guided approach to goal setting. In the
spiritual world, ethical principles and values are called virtues. When your
goals are guided by principles like honesty, harmlessness, compassion,
integrity, etc. they insure that whatever goal you set will be achieved by
right means. The means you use to achieve your goals are very important
because they effect the quality and karmic consequences of the outcome.
No goal is worth achieving if it cost you your Soul. To strive for a
noble goal such as freedom by any means necessary is very unwise. Why is
this the case? Every goal starts as a thought and in the seeds of
every action can also be found its demise. When you create a goal you build
a thought-form that is filled with energy of the quality of the goal. If the
goal is motivated by very selfish motives such as anger or greed,
the energy used to create the thought-form will be built from energy in the
lower chakras. The energy of the lower chakras are lower in vibration
and always bring with them (according to the Tibetan Master) karmic
consequences (usually negative). If the motive is one of love or some high
motive, the thought-form will be charged with light from the higher chakras
and will manifest your goal in a harmless manner to the degree that your
thought has been motivated by right motive. Thought-forms are the energetic
blue prints for your goals. And since they are energy, they constantly add
substance either elemental or angelic to your vehicles as you daily
contemplate your goals. This has the effect of either expanding
your awareness or contracting it. Thus, if you chose to become
wealthy by defrauding and bankrupting others, then it would be better that
you forego achieving wealth by that means because the karmic suffering you
would incur would not be worth the gain. Remember the seeds for your
suffering are built into the original thought-form right from the
start. By the same token, if you chose to achieve wealth through
providing a service that bettered society and contributed to the greater
good then you would experience much better results. Thought-forms help
you achieve your goals as well as the karmic consequences of those goals
through their inherent magnetic quality. They simply attract to you
circumstances and situations that vibrate to the quality of energy that you
have built into the thought-form. This is an important consideration
when you are planning to meditate on a goal or affirmation for an extended period
of time because overtime it will become more and more potent in its ability
to help you or harm you. The goal of the Rainbow Bridge work is to
cleanup many of the mistaken thought-forms you created in your past.
Hopefully, in the not too distant future, the political
leaders of the world will learn that a lasting peace can not be
achieved through violent means and that joint outcomes are maximized
through cooperation and minimized through competition and antagonism.

you there and that is a road to nowhere.

How our thought affect the structure of
water is shown here.
After reading the article on water, try making your own holy water with
spiritual thoughts, prayers or your favorite mantra; and in the future, make it
a point to bless your bottled water before you drink it or cook with it. An excellent book on the nature of thought forms is Thought Forms by
Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater. Paintings of thought forms from the book
can be found here.
