Choosing Thought

Wouldn't you say that we cannot live a choice less life? Every day, every moment, every second, there is choice.
If it were not so we would not be individuals.  
We have the right to choose what we wish to experience.

We have the right to choose the kind of companions with whom we wish to associate; to stay in what city and in what type of house we would like to live.  We are individuals and the only way we can be individuals is to be spontaneous.  There is no such thing as a mechanistic individuality, it must have essential elements of spontaneity.  There is no spontaneity and no individuality without prerogative.  There can be no choice unless there is something from which to choose, otherwise the ability to choose would be merely a fantasy.  Therefore, there must be not only the possibility of choice: but the liability of experiencing that which is chosen.

We have a right to choose what we shall induce in Mind. The way in which our thoughts are to become manifest, we cannot always see or should we be disturbed that we do not see the way because effect is potential in cause. " I am Alpha and Omega", and all that comes between cause and effect.  Cause and effect are really one, and if we have a given cause set in motion, the effect will have to equal the cause.  One is the inside and the other the outside of the same thing.  A certain, specific, concrete manifestation equal to itself.  There is One Infinite Principle, One Infinite Thought-Stuff, One Infinite Creative Power, but countless number of forms, which change as the specific idea behind those changes.

Inducing Thought

That which thought has done,  thought can un-do  Life -long habits of wrong thinking can be consciously and deliberately neutralized, and an entirely new order of mental and emotional reaction can be established in Mind.  Merely to abstain from wrong thinking is not enough.  There must be active right thinking.  We must become actively constructive and happy in our thinking, not merely passively so.  New and wholesome ideas of life (your life), vitality and hope must be accepted and incorporated into the sub-stratum of our own mental life, so that a more wholesome externalization may manifest in our bodily condition and environment.

Since we must and should all begin right where we are, most of us will be compelled to begin our healing work with a mechanical process.  I think we should take the highest thought we have and attempt to enlarge it in our consciousness until it embraces a more vital concept of Reality. Consciousness in this sense means an inner embodiment of ideas.  So if you wish to demonstrate prosperity, you/we must first have a consciousness of health (a healthy body and mind).  This I think is more that faith; it is the knowledge that we are dealing with Law.  While a certain consciousness may be mechanically induced, of course, the more spontaneity put into the mechanical word, the more power the word must and will have. So what you put in is what you get out. (Garbage in garbage out).

The Atmosphere of Our Thinking

We are all immersed in the atmosphere of our own thinking, which is the direct result of all we have ever said, thought or done.  This decides what is to take place in our lives.  Thought attracts what is like itself and repels what is unlike.  We are drawn toward those things which we mentally image.  Most of the inner processes of our thought have been unconscious, but when we understand the Law, we learn to consciously embody what we wish, and think of this only, and then we are drawn silently toward it.

The emphasis on true mental healing is insistently on God, the One Mind, the One Soul, the One Being, ever-present and ever-available; and on man's ability and right to make himself receptive to this healing Presence. Then a realization of the essential divinity of our own nature, and the truth that no evil can live in the Presence.  We must unify ourselves with the great Whole.  The man who dares to fling his thought out into Universal Intelligence, with the assurance of one who realizes his divine nature and its relation to the Universe, and dares to claim all there is, will find an ever-creative good at hand to aid us.  God will honor our request.  To the soul that knows its own divinity, all else must gravitate.  So let us, then enlarge our thought processes and dare to think in Universal terms. Let us dare to believe that every constructive word is invincible!

What isThought Force?

For me thought force is a movement of consciousness in a field of mechanical but intelligent Law. It's the movement of consciousness upon itself that creates a motion or vibration upon Substance, the force of which is equal to the embodiment of the thought set in motion.  For everything that happens in the objective world, there must be something in the subjective world which perfectly balances it. (the ying and the ylang, if I may use that as an example.)

Let suppose, for illustration, that the Universe is nothing but water,  permeated by the Infinite Intelligence.  Imagine that every time this Intelligence moves, or thinks, ice is formed in the water, exactly corresponding to the thought. We might have countless pieces of ice of different form, color, and size, but these pieces of ice would still be water!  If we could heat the entire mass, it would melt, and all forms would again become water.  Nothing would have changed except the form.  I believe that the physical universe is Spirit in form.

First is Intelligence; then the Word, the idea, the image, the concept; then the movement toward the thing.  Thought is an actual working power.  Otherwise, there would be nothing by which the Universe could be governed.

It is Done unto Us

What a marvelous  thought to bear in mind" that it is done unto us!  We need not coerce, we do not create the power, but we must LET this Great Power operate through us.

In the Infinity of Mind, there is nothing but Mind and what Mind does. It's operations.  This Mind is acted upon by our thought, and in this way thought becomes the law of our lives.  It is just as much a law in our individual lives as God's thought is in the larger life of the Universe.  WE DO NOT CREATE.  WE USE THE POWER OF THE ONE MIND, WHICH CREATES FOR US!  Our beliefs and our deep-seated convictions inevitably out-picture and reflect themselves in our experience and environment, both in the physical condition of the body, and in the larger world of our affairs.  I think what we outwardly are, and what we are to become depends upon what we are thinking, for this is the way we are using Creative Power.  I believe the sooner we release our minds from the thought that we have to create, the sooner we shall be able to work in line with Spirit.  Man always uses; he never creates anything.  The united intelligence of the human race could not make a single rosebud; but our thought, centered in Mind, is using the Creative Power of the Universe.

Law of Life is a law of thought, (an activity of consciousness). That's the Power that flows through us.  The Spirit can do for us only what It can do through us.  Unless we are able to provide the consciousness, It cannot make the gift or blessings.  The Power behind all things is without limit, but in working for us It must work through us.  So realizing, then that while the Power is limitless, It must become operative through our greater power, but a greater consciousness, a deeper realization of life, a more sublime concept of Being, a lot more intimate concept of an already indwelling God, Who is and should be personal to us by virtue of being personified through us.
