(Madisyn Taylor)
If we make no effort at all, our thoughts usually scatter in a vast array of directions. They start and stop and move in surprising ways from one second to the next. If we try to follow our thoughts without controlling them, we will be amazed at how truly inconsistent they are. Yet, if we apply our minds to a specific task, especially one that interests us, they gather together and allow us to focus our attention, creating great power and energy. This is what is known as pure thought, because it is undistracted.
The law of attraction. ‘like attracts like’ influences all energy, including our thoughts, and this is what makes pure thought so potent. Our undistracted thoughts create a powerful magnet that draws similar energy into our vibrational field. As a result, the longer we are able to hold positive thoughts in our minds, the more powerful the positive energy around us becomes. We don't need to focus on action and controlling so much when we are surrounded by energy that draws what we want toward us. We can simply respond to the opportunities that naturally come our way. When this is the essence of our experience, we can go with the flow, knowing that we will be okay.
If pure thought is a body, it is our emotions that supply the heart that can really bring it to life. Our thoughts and feelings exist in relation to one another, and they form a feedback loop through which they communicate and empower each other. When we hold a thought in our mind without being distracted, we have achieved pure thought. When we have a positive emotional response to that thought, we enable it to dance and move and breathe itself into existence.
My Thoughts:
I am naturally a positive person. AS a Libra I like to have balance to everything around me, including my thoughts. I am a great believer in the notion that things will always work out, okay I admit that sometimes they may not work out how I envisaged. That said I am always positive that it will work out somehow.
I see no productive use to worrying and stressing over things that in the end there are probably no controls over. That said, I don’t really stress over the things I can have an influence on. As the old saying goes, ‘what will be will be’ (or was that Doris Day?) and all you can do is try your best to make the most of the opportunities that present themselves (this is starting to sound like one of those emotional positivity clichés to promote inner wellness). The key though is to accept that if you didn’t do everything you could, that you then have to come to terms with the consequences, and if you did and it still all collapsed … then the outcome is the same, you have to make the most of what remains. Either way, it up to you how you handle the situation.
‘Que será, será’
The future's not ours to see … but how we deal with it most certainly is.
