On the one hand it seems absolutely reliable that focusing on a thought sooner or later attracts the physical reality to match it. For example focusing on having your paycheck double will lead to you increasing your paycheck.



On the other hand I could also tell you that the feeling of climbing Mount Everest and standing on the top is for some people it seems a very exhilirating feeling of accomplishment. Yet imagine what risks and difficulties must be overcome to accomplish such a feeling?

Therefore what I am sharing is the while it is indeed true that holding a thought is the way to materialize it into physical reality the problem is how to overcome the difficulty in doing so.

-You may control a mad elephant;

You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger;

Ride the lion and play with the cobra;

By alchemy you may earn your livelihood;

You may wander through the universe incognito;

Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful;

You may walk on water and live in fire:

But control of the mind is better and more difficult.-

Thayumanavar

Let's continue with our example of holding the thought of a paycheck that is twice the size. Double the normal amount. Surely if you hold that thought, as any other it will come to pass.

While there are many obstacles to holding such a thought steady the one that is the subject of this article is the obstacle of the fact that the life you are living now and all the things and people and situations in it are being generated quite effectively by the current thoughts you are holding! You are already a master of mind power and you are using that power to hold in place and hold on to the very experience you are having now in life.

In order to learn how to consciously create success using mind power what happens is that one way or another the person must form a new thought of something they are not yet manifesting. People are often taught to visualize to do this. I suggest simply writing down what you already have materialized in the area you are working on. Your paycheck in this case.

Write down the current amount on the left hand side of a piece of paper. Something like,

Currently my paycheck is $______.

Draw a line down the center of the paper.

And then write down on the right hand side of the paper,

I imagine that currently my paycheck is $_______.

Fill in the amounts that correspond for you.

There you have the new thought on the right hand side of paper. Tear the paper in two and hold onto that thought. Have you heard the story of the famous American actor named Jim Carrey who before he was famous wrote himself an imaginary check for ten million dollars and carried it around in his wallet until one day he really did get a check for ten million dollars as his fee for acting in a movie.

Holding a thought is powerful. However if you try and hold the thought of doubling your paycheck for example, or any other thought what often happens is that your life starts changing in order to align you and all your beliefs and feelings to support the new thought.

Many people teach that you must clean or clear, or change or examine your beliefs in order to change your life. It is true. However I can tell you that when you focus your thought and hold it on a particular subject then that thought itself will lead you transform your self and your beliefs enough to bring the thought into manifestation, OR, you will discard the thought and stop holding.

A thought is a force and as long as you hold it there is an extreme power resonating your entire life to come into alignment with that thought.
