Choosing What To Create - Part One

Whether you have known about The Law of Attraction for many years or are just grasping the awesome ramifications that you really do create your own reality, there still remains the question of "What to Create."

We are creating every moment of our day - sleeping or waking - usually by default for most people - even those who know about this incredible power we all possess. The result is a life filled with various levels of frustrations, disappointments and semi-successes on the physical, emotional and mental levels. By semi-successes we do not mean that this does not include significant accumulations of material possessions, credentials, friends, accomplishments and various other 3-D manifestations.

Many people have attained these things by default, never knowing where the power came from to create them. Nevertheless, the complete picture must include an inner sense of satisfaction and peace of mind which in some way expands our awareness of all we are. This is truly rare - even for those that are consciously creating their reality every day. However, that is chang16B1ing quickly as more and more tens of thousands of people discover this innate power and its mind boggling implications.

This inner growth of awareness to our ultimate awakening comes through consciously and selectively choosing intentions to manifest from our deepest inner urges. But how do we tap into these inner urges? Other than the basic needs of food, shelter and clothing, there is a universe of possibilities that may or may not fill these inner urges for each and everyone of us.

Unless you are adept at tapping into your inner Self, perhaps through meditation or other means, the urges we get to manifest things are usually seductions from the material world tied to feelings of deficiency in some area of our life. And while we will definitely succeed in manifesting these urges if we use The Law of Attraction, the fulfillment of these lack-oriented desires will not satisfy us for long. That is the nature of the 3-D world of polarity where everything has its opposite.

We will discuss this further in the second half of this article.

Game Of Life and How To Play

What Luck For Rulers That Men Do Not Think

Jesus said, "As a man thinketh, so is he." You may not be religious (I'm really not that religious, either...); but the truth does not stand or fall because of the reputation of the speaker. Truth is always truth. This saying isn't true because Jesus said it; Jesus was quoting when he said this -- these words appear in the Old Testament, and in every other religion on the planet. Buddha said, "What we think, we become," for example; and Gandhi (who was neither a Jew, Christian, nor a Buddhist) expressed the exact sentiment thusly, "A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes." What a gift this is! I wonder why so few use it...

It doesn't matter what we think; thoughts are the seeds and we need only think (plant) them in order for them to grow into something. And we reap in our bodies and lives the physical fruits of those thoughts we sow and cultivate in our minds. Unfortunately, most people simply don't think -- they memorize and repeat things. If your opinions, for instance, match those of a "talking head" on any national television news show, what makes you think those are your opinions? "Opinion," said John Erskine, "is that exercise of the human will which helps us to make a decision without information." H.L. Mencken wrote, in 1925, "The average man never really thinks from end to end of his life. The mental activity of such people is only a mouthing of cliches."

If you think for yourself, you can do anything; indeed, "all things are possible." Gandhi said, "Those who know how to think need no teachers." Could this have been what Jesus was referring to when He said, "I have access to all knowledge." He didn't say, "I know everything...;" He said that He had "access" -- He knew where and how to get it. Consider that prayer is focused thinking; and it is often used to ask questions from a higher power or source. Voltaire wrote, "No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking;" and, when asked how he discovered the Laws of Gravity, Sir Isaac Newton replied, "I thought about it all the time."

Of course, most people believe they are thinking. Alas, mentally reciting the thoughts and words of others is not thinking. When people think their own thoughts, they ca5B4n do anything; when people think the thoughts of another, they can be made to do anything. A king wrote, "Now the people are as one and nothing will be restrained from them that they seek to do." Later kings discovered that power could be harnessed by directing the thoughts of those "unified" people. Through laws, religions, and mass media, people are told what to think from cradle to grave -- people who do not find a way to think for themselves, that is.

And we believe what we are told for many reasons. People can be made to not kill each other, for instance, by telling them God said not to do it, or that something bad will happen to them if they do; and those same people can then be made to kill people by telling them it is their legal, moral, or patriotic obligation to do so. The common denominator: Being told what to do and believing you have to.

Wisdom teachings protect us from such traps -- if we have been taught, of course. Following the teaching to "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," could keep you from "doing unto others what someone else told you to do to them." Listen to your heart; this is where true wisdom lives. Anthony De Mello once wrote, "People mistakenly assume that their thinking is done by their head; it is actually done by the heart which first dictates the conclusion, then commands the head to provide the reasoning that will defend it." Think for yourself an56Ad follow the guidance of your heart. Much of your stress and illness will disappear when you figure out how to do this.

When you think for yourself, you can easily discern your thoughts and desires from someone else's agenda and control. We all have the power to do this; our ability to choose our thoughts, in fact, is our only true free-will. This is our birthright and most people simply hand theirs over to those they perceive to be "smarter," or more powerful. When you can make a bunch of people believe what you say, you can direct a tremendous amount of energy. Buckminster Fuller said of belief, "Belief is when someone else does the thinking." Belief is actually an energy that people put into thoughts in order to make them happen. If you don't think for yourself, others can convince you to give them that greatest of all human powers -- your belief. "What luck for rulers," said Adolf Hitler, "that men do not think."

Think about that.

Creativity Test - Three Minutes That Could Help You Learn How Well You Think Outside Of The Box

Creative thought is effortless; so don't confuse it with analytical thinking. Creative thinking does not analyze right and wrong, or good and bad. In creative thinking, you let go of control and allow your thoughts to wander aimlessly from one idea to the next. Creative thinking can help you to locate information that your left-brain has misplaced. For example, have you ever struggled with a problem and analyzed it until your head hurt, only to find a solution pop in16DCto your mind while doing some mundane task? That source of inspiration was your right-brained creative thinker doing what it does best.

Creative thinking allows you to find new connections between things; connections that the analytical mind would never consider. Creative thinking takes what it already knows to be true and mixes it with concepts just discovered, usually discovering new connections, new solutions and new insights in the process. Creative thinking is what makes brainstorming possible. Reflective thinking is what caused Einstein to first envision his "general theory of relativity" while daydreaming about light. Einstein said that imagination is more important than knowledge, and I figure he should know.

Brainstorming is a process that helps people explore connections and release their creativity. Analytical thought stops the process of brainstorming. If you've ever experienced a good brainstorming session, you know that people usually have a number of bad ideas before inspiration strikes. When you analyze all your bad ideas to death, you never give your genius a chance to strike. The analyzer inside of us tends to reject the explorer's ideas before the explorer has had a chance to explore. In the end, we reject our only path to genius.

Let me show you an exercise that demonstrates what I mean:

1. Find a pen, a piece of paper, and a timer.

2. Get ready to set your timer for three minutes.

3. In a moment, I'm going to ask you to copy a link into your address bar and go to the link. Don't worry, you will not be added to any list, receive any pop up ads, or other advertisements. On that page, you will simply see an image. For three minutes, I want you to look at that image and make a list of everything that you think the image could represent. Keep adding to the list until the timer goes off.

4. Once you have completed the three minutes, hit the back button on your browser window to return to this article for your results. This exercise does work best if you complete it before reading the rest of the article.

5. Ready? Copy the following link into your address bar, click go, and begin.
www.navigatinglife.org/id85.html

Did you judge the image at first sight, and did your judgments contribute to the length of your list? Now that you have completed the exercise, count how many items you have on your list.

If you have five to eight items on your list, then you have the same average as most adults over 18 years of age. But teenagers usually average 10 to 15 items, while kindergartners average a list of 60 items or more.

Amazing, isn't it? The average adult struggles thirty-seconds to find just one new idea. While in that same thirty-seconds, a typical kindergartner effortlessly discovers ten.

We're all born with an incredible ability to imagine and brainstorm.

So where does that ability go?

Do you remember looking at the image during the exercise, and after your initial reaction, spending most of your time thinking mainly about everything it couldn't be? Do you remember spending most of your time rejecting your ideas?

Whenever I have my classes do this excise, my adult students typically stare at the image for the entire three minutes, their pencils hardly moving. They get an idea and their left-brain says, "No, not that." Then they get another idea, and again their left-brain says, "No, not that." Eventually, the right-brain stops offering ideas, and my students end up just staring at the image for the entire three minutes. They want a good idea to strike before they write anything down. But creativity doesn't work that way. If you focus all of your attention on "what the image isn't," you leave no room in your mind for inspiration to strike.

Try the same exercise. But this time, write down everything that pops into your mind, no matter how silly, or stupid you think it sounds. Keep your pen moving and don't let it stop. Pretty soon, the ideas that seem foolish will develop into ideas that make sense. Create a stream of consciousness. Play with sound and rhythm and rhyme. Cock your head to one side, or turn the image around in your mind so that you can see the image from a new angle. Allow your silliness to trigger new ideas. Don't let your left-brain interrupt your thoughts, offer judgments, or edit your creativity.

My guess is that your list will be much longer the second time, and much more fun. You might even find yourself giggling. Genius tends to hit us when we're having fun playing with our own amazing thoughts.

Cultivate your imagination. Make a point of asking questions, making up stories and playing with children. Try to keep the reflective, questing, playful part of your mind alive and happy. Without imagination, we are limited by what we have already experienced. Emerson once wrote, "We recognize in every act of genius, our own disregarded thoughts." So stop disregarding your thoughts. Stop disregarding your own genius...

Superstition and Religion

The Hidden Meaning Behind Dreams

Carl Jung discovered the unique method of dream interpretation. I continued his research, discovered the meaning of more dream symbols and the existence of a wild and primitive conscience that causes craziness to our conscience.

If you learn how to interpret your dreams by using this scientific method, you will be able to penetrate the hidden world of the unconscious and anti-conscience, in addition to understanding how your human conscience works. What does this mean? This means that you will penetrate your mind and start understanding why you behave the way you do, why you think and feel the way you do and so on.

You will then start understanding your mistakes and to correct them and develop your conscience. This means that you become more intelligent because you start paying attention to other psychological functions that you have at your disposition. You can learn many things and better judge the world: these are the functions you never use because you are always dominated by only one fully developed psychological function, which you prefer, and another one that is only partially developed and only partly helps you.

In the beginning, your dreams will help you develop you conscience by showing you all the aspects of reality that you have to consider when you make your decisions or judge someone. For example, if you belong to a psychological type that is extroverted and based on sensations, you will care only for the way you feel, the food you eat, the clothes you wear and all the material pleasures you can have.

What can happen to you? A lot!

If you don't think logically or analyze your life seriously, you'll surely face many problems in your life. On the other hand, if you don't pay attention to your feelings but only care for the gratification of your senses, you may get involved with someone you don't really love but who can give you the material pleasure you desire...only to discover later that you cannot live with that person no matter how much money they may have.

If you don't pay attention to what you "can guess" about each person, to the impression and the feeling they give you, you are ignoring a very important psychological function whose functionalism is a mystery-intuition. This psychological function is in fact the ability to predict the future without any logical explanation besides the impressions that you obtain about someone or something. This psychological function when completely developed can help you actually guess, for instance, the person who will buy your products and who will never do that. You can understand from the beginning who is the right person for you and immediately decide the next actions to take.

When this psychological function is not well developed, you receive no help in your decisions. You cannot guess anything about what you are trying to examine.

Therefore, when you completely develop your conscience through dream interpretation, you start discovering the hidden meaning of reality that you could not see before because you were too ignorant and based on only one entire and one partial psychological function each.

On the other hand, when you completely develop your conscience and eliminate the dangerous influence of the wild and primitive anti-conscience, you discover how reality is prepared and how you can transform it according to what will bring you good results.

You acquire a "third eye" that can read and decipher the symbols existent not only in dreams but also everywhere else, and you will be guided to solve all the problems of your life.

When you reach this level, you will learn the meaning of many other things that you now ignore. You will learn how to think according to another system of logic that is completely different from the selfish logic that you use now, in addition to understanding the meaning of life and death.

You can learn all that you wish by interpreting your dreams, and you can interpret everything that happens to you in your daily life just as you interpret dreams, and thus have more information about reality, other people and the future.

Things A Guy Should Do To Attract Girls

What are the things a guy should do to attract girls? Most men that consulted a dating consultant were asked the same question that is, "what are the things a guy should do to attract girls?"

It is just not the men who go to consultants who get asked this questB68ion. All men at some point in their lives have asked themselves the same question. It is really simple. To attract a women to you show her something about yourself that she will be irresistibly attracted to.

What men forget that if they are like every other common man a women meets then why would she be with you and not someone else? Look out for that certain quality that you have that the next 10 guys standing next you do not possess.

What can you give a woman that is rare? It should be some thing that she won't find with another guy easily. That is, in a way of speaking, your trump card. Once you have that trump card in your hand, attracting women would no longer be a problem for you. You would be able to attract them to you easily and successfully.

Here are some points that you should look into for in most cases these points will help you find or create you trump card to attracting women to you.

Your self esteem:

Men often comment that women are attracted to men who have fame and money in their pockets. It is not always because they are treasure hunters. It is also about something else.

Have you ever noticed how men with fame and money carry themselves? It is definitely different from an average guy on the street. Fame and money gives you something that sets you apart from the crowd. This something is a high self esteem and confidence about yourself that draws people to you. It creates an aura of power and position. These men carry themselves with absolute confidence. This is what attracts women to them like bees to a bonnet.

This is the kind confidence in yourself you need to attract women. If you can achieve this you will be shocked to find that women you never dreamed of approaching on your own because you thought that they were so out of your league, will approach you. So are you ready?

Doting on good looking women:

The one thing that most men do wrong is that they treat the good looking women like they are goddesses who have blessed us all by being among us. There is a difference in making a girl feel special and about spoiling her so much that she would start looking down on others. If you make her feel that she is doing you a favor by giving you her attention then you are yourself asking her to look down on you.

Make a girl understand that she is special enough for you to like her but she is not the queen of the world. Treat her like a normal person and you will have her attention. She will be attracted to you because you don't treat her like everyone else does.
