Preface
Thought Into Form
Ever since I can remember anything I can remember thinking about something and then seeing it appear before me the next day or shortly thereafter. I don’t know why I made this connection starting perhaps around the age of four. I just knew that there was something magical going on. I didn’t know anything about coincidences or synchronicity then. I just knew that when I really thought hard about something that I wanted it would appear to me. Looking back now I see that the key to every appearance I witnessed was my decision to think about the thing that I wanted. I would think about it at night while I was falling asleep. Many nights I would lose sleep musing over the object of my attention. It did not matter to me how I received what I wanted. All I knew was that it would happen. These occurrences however were vastly in the minority of my life experience.
From time to time a need would arise. I would remember this special quality that I had and start thinking about what I wanted until it was there before me. When I was four years old going on five I remembered hearing about Disneyland. All I wanted was to go there where I had never been. I lived in Trenton NJ. Disneyland had not even opened up yet. Before I knew it my uncle was driving us in his new Cadillac out to California to visit relatives there. We were in Disneyland the day after it opened for the first time. This is an especially vivid memory for me since I never told anyone about my desire to go to Disneyland. I hardly spoke at all then. My family’s nickname for me was the quiet one. Every once in a while I would say something that was profound for a five year old I guess and everyone would turn around in amazement. I had a very tight fast act then. Say a few words get some applause and then I was out of there, conversation wise.
I have always wondered about the connection between thoughts and circumstances. My education took me into the field of Psychology where the study of thought was always secondary to behavior. It was a frustrating experience being on the edge of something so big but as yet undefined. This is when I turned to spirituality and found there were numerous writings on the subject that I was most interested in. Both new and old testaments could be read with an eye towards discerning the symbolism of how a man is thinking is how he is living his life. The symbols and the coded messages were fine there for a while but I wanted answers that were clearer than that. I practiced Yoga and Zen and found some interesting studies on this subject reading through the aphorisms of Patanjali, the founder of Yoga.
This was getting closer to what I was looking for. Patanjali spoke about the mind and its processes and the results of meditation. Another source, which influenced my thinking, is the New Thought movement which tells us that what we think influences what our lives are going to be about. A final influence comes from the Kabbalah and the Tarot, which makes use of symbols to activate the centers of awareness. These symbols were important shortcuts and helped me remember the wisdom I was taking in. I would go from one study to another but I still could not pinpoint the answers I was looking for. This is when I decided that the only way to find out anything was to go within and ask the questions. Then the answers I found would be my own. The only source I would be relying upon then would be my own internal guide, my inner voice.
I began writing about my understanding. For twenty-five years I have been writing about this subject in one way or another. What I discovered during this time was that the knowledge would always come in response to the questions I would ask. Notebooks piled up over the years. I kept on seeking and finding. Then a short while ago I realized that the best way to learn about anything is to teach it. This is when I decided to write this book. I did not use any of the material that had accumulated over the twenty-five year period. It was important for me to be spontaneous in my expression of what I wanted to teach. In fact the core of this expression is that without doubt it is in the moment that everything wonderful appears. Also since I am constantly learning more about this subject as I go along, I wanted to present the most current information. I let go of any expectations other than knowing that all the answers would pour forth in response to every question I meditated upon. I knew that it would be important to show the flow of information as it was choosing the moments in which it would appear. In a very real way these words are the first demonstrations of thoughts coming into form.
Thought Into Form shows us the process whereby thoughts come into form. Each subject area has as its central motivating idea, another way of describing how thoughts come into form. The constant thread you find throughout the narrative and the parables is that thought filled with emotion becomes the fabric of your experience. I say this many times in many ways. Thought builds upon itself by the attraction of like thoughts. This produces emotion, which is defined by the level of vibration of the thoughts that are being attracted to each other. Emotion then becomes your guide as to what you can expect to see as a result of your thinking. If you are feeling good emotions, such happiness, joy, satisfaction, well being, or contentment, then you can expect to receive something good back in kind for your experiences. The reverse is also true. The key to producing a good life is in changing your mind to produce the thoughts, which will evolve these good emotions as the precursors of the wonderful experiences you can expect because of these good emotions. These ideas are expanded throughout the book. They are the foundation of becoming conscious of your thoughts coming into form.
This is the kind of book where after reading any single section, there is a profound connection with the whole central idea. You can start to read anywhere you choose. The mind will keep its focus throughout every facet of the discoveries you find. This narrative is designed to reflect the hierarchy of thinking as it moves along the pathways of your awakening. Wisdom is gained by simply traveling the various pathways presented within, in the moment of their comprehension. It is your understanding that will grow as the ideas within build upon themselves. Many of these ideas you’ll already be familiar with. You’ll be able understand them in your own way. There will also be some new concepts here, which will open your mind to your awareness of yourself in many different ways. You will read about this moment called the Spontaneous Awareness, and you will experience your connection with the unknown, and lose all temerity in approaching this mystery time and again.
Every act of thinking provides an answer to that mystery we experience within. It is a kind of quest we are taking when we seek these answers and an act of self-fulfillment when we find what we are looking for. The proof that thoughts come into form is demonstrated with every thought that we think. It is this proof, which is the start of the trust that builds within, when there is something brought forth from nothing. You will be shown how every part of your life is affected by what you are thinking.
Together we will find out everything we need to know about how the mind works. You are going to be shown the many inner wonders that operate most of time without your awareness of their interactions. What will be made clear during the course of your reading will be how much we can really be conscious of. All of this can take place making use of the mind’s own system of understanding. We will be working together in this because we will be touching the source of all thought. It is the Mystery. It is the Eternal. It is the Creative Force. All of these will be used to refer to our Source. Since there is only one Source all of our questions will be answered from here.
This is the common ground we are sharing. It is why we will be able to understand each other. The concepts of Mind that are explained are presented with the purpose of bringing us ever closer to our connection with this Mystery. As you read through and ponder the discoveries you find you will be making new pathways in your mind. In effect, the concepts presented here will act as inspirations for your own internal inquiries. We will be reading this book together because in the moment that you make the connection, and understanding awakens within you, you will be brought closer to the Mystery. This connection to the Creative Force is the Unity of understanding that we can share between us.
We will be talking about how our thoughts come into form from this one Source. The words will flow. Characters will be formed. Songs will be written. A definite rhythm will be established and we will feel satisfied in what we have achieved. At times it will feel as though we are sailing on the sea and every sentence moves smoothly, gliding effortlessly above the waves, in a gently rolling fashion. At other times thoughts will rush forth in torrents of emotion and meaning.
Every break point will be passed and we’ll be arriving on the crests of new horizons. As we stand here on the crest of that kind of thinking, it is important to realize that none of this would have been possible without our first step into this Mystery. That first step is an offering while the answers that we receive in response are a welcoming from the Mystery. It is towards this Mystery then that we face, each time we reach up to express our thoughts into feelings and our feelings into form. It is the first step that we must always take before every beginning.
Throughout your journey here you will hear the voice of the teacher, the voice of experience, and of the voice of the poet-sage. Interwoven throughout you will also be guided by the voice of the inner angels, and by the voice of the storyteller. In this way, the central theme is approached again and again allowing the vantage points of these various inner perspectives. You will find that one or more of these “voices” will seem to be speaking directly to you and this is as it should be.
All of these voices are in reality one voice, which seeks expression in the various keys of your life. It is also for this purpose that this book is written. Together we will sound the notes within which connect us to the Source of all thought. It is here, at the Source, that you will experience the Energy of Connection. We will share many moments of recognition because all thought flows from this single source.
There is no limit to how much joy and satisfaction you can bring into your life when you learn to experience the Energy of Connection. You will intend to experience this Energy of Connection all the time. This is a book about how thoughts come into form. It is assumed that you would want to experience every good thing in your life. How much of that good thing you are ready and willing to experience is up to you. This is what Thought Into Form helps you to understand. There cannot ever be too much of any good thing. Your thoughts about what you want to experience are the promise from the Creative Force of what your future could be like. By recognizing this future beforehand it is looking through a window inside of your soul directing you onward into the wonderful adventure of life that is you.
This book is written from the standpoint of you. What is offered here is a way for you to focus within. This focus isn’t just for short periods of meditation sometime during your busy day. It is an ongoing focus that you can call into play at any given moment of your life, and you will see that this focus within, works for you all of the time. You will remember at those times what appeals to you most and be able to put your new awareness into use immediately. After you have read through some of the concepts in this book, you will be able to turn to any page and connect to the central idea. Thought Into Form is about your connection to the Source. This connection is eternal, which is why any one part relates directly to every other part seamlessly.
Beginning now, let the focus of your attention become internal, and it will remain so each time you return to these pages. Yes, this is a guidebook for your inner awareness. You are encouraged to open yourself up to another way of listening. You are reminded here of ways to listen that start from the core level of your being and move onward to the outcomes of your thinking, the demonstration of your thoughts into form. You will be shown more than just the way to make contact within.
You will take an active part in this experience by moving on where the text leaves off. It is for inspiration then that we are here in this place outside of time. Let each moment then be precious to you. Listen with a relaxed awareness. It is in the moment that everything wonderful happens. The best part is that this something wonderful keeps on happening time and time again. It is therefore with that spirit that we enter Thought Into Form

chapter 1
The Spontaneous Awareness
The way we discover who we really are is through our internal inquiry. All of the answers are already present inside of us. We only need to ask the questions and be open to receive the answers. The Spontaneous Awareness is the ability to receive this information in the moment. It is the cultivation of this awareness, which gives us the confidence in mind that is necessary to be in the flow of each moment. It is during this Spontaneous Awareness that we can understand our higher mind activities. We enter into higher mind and arrive at just the right place for our understanding to grow. It is the quality best described as having an open mind.
The subtle flow of who you are speaks beyond any human efforts to encompass or manipulate it. Acceptance is your only answer. This acceptance is truly an inner giving. All of your negative tendencies can then be released. They are released into that which always surrounds us. It is the Mystery. It is the place where thoughts go to unravel when we let them go, before returning to the energy of their source.
Place all of your negative thoughts here. Let them go as soon as you become conscious of them in the moment. The Spontaneous Awareness is your ability to instantly make the decision to proceed with either building upon what you are thinking or letting go those thoughts, which do not feel right to you. In order to get an idea of what this Spontaneous Awareness is like think about the moment in between two breaths. Here you are poised with the fullness of life and your ability to direct your thoughts. There in that silence where there appears to be nothing is drawn forth everything you want to experience.
You make the choices within by allowing yourself to listen for everything that you think you want. There inside of the Spontaneous Awareness, your feelings will tell you if you are making the right choices. You make your choices by letting go of any unwanted feelings and the thoughts associated with these feelings. At the same moment with complete expectation be prepared to accept the thoughts about the things you want to experience. These thoughts are coming from the Mystery. They come in response to the initiation of your central idea. This initial inspiration is when you tell yourself you want to be prosperous, full of good health, have a perfect occupation or want to have a brand new car. It begins as an inspiration. Then thoughts are added each time you invoke the Spontaneous Awareness. This is your ability to call those thoughts, which are attracted to your initial inspiration. These thoughts will coalesce into feelings of harmony. You will feel good about the thoughts you are choosing because your thoughts match exactly what you want. A sense of peace will also prevail. You won’t have to second-guess your thinking. No doubts will muddy the mix. In this way you can promote and continue the Spontaneous Awareness through your choices in every moment about what you are thinking.
When your thoughts are causing you to be uneasy and your feelings are negative there is a way to turn your thinking around. You do not have to stop thinking these negative thoughts. All that you have to do is choose to think about what you want. When you are around others who do not think the way you do, remember the Spontaneous Awareness. You do not have to take on anyone else’s vibration as your own. Be still within your own mind and know your own thoughts no matter what outward storms are flying about. Your thoughts produce a mental vibration. When you meet someone in harmony with your vibration communication happens without effort. If there are those in your environment whose vibrations are not in harmony with yours you will not have to struggle. You can simply let their vibration be and keep to your own way of thinking. In this way you remain in peace continually attracting others who are in harmony with your vibration. Your continued focus on what you want is made easier when you remember the Spontaneous Awareness. It empowers you to truly appreciate the grand design that you are making by focusing your attention on what you want.
The result is a continual growth in your awareness of being where you take responsibility for your thoughts and feelings. The results are shaped by the Spontaneous Awareness which uses your focus there as the direction that you would like your life to take. Use what works best for you in terms of how you recognize your feelings about what you want. Each moment these feelings reflect what you are thinking about. With practice you can learn to trust these feelings and adjust your thinking accordingly. This trust can only come from your willingness to let go into this moment all the time. Then, poised in silence, your inner voice comes through, and then you know the truth of following your thoughts into form. It is this truth that sets your mind free because now you can check in with how you feel in order to determine whether you are on course.
In order to set the stage for this experience of being free in the moment, we will consider consciousness in terms of its various movements. In this way we can view thought in its ongoing stages of development. As we do so a path is created within. It allows us to enter into the openings that we discover. We can follow the light symbolized by our understanding. As our understanding grows so too will our ability to receive even more light.
There are three states of consciousness.
One is called the Initiating Force.
Two is called the Maintaining Influence
Three is called the Quiescent Harmony
One: The Initiating Force.
Our thoughts appear to move because they can take us anywhere we choose to focus on. They move in space as well as in time. This movement requires direction. Tracing a thought back to the source for this direction uncovers the source of the light. This light is our understanding of the process of the unfolding of thought. It is something appearing from nothing.
Thought first appears through the active imagination. It then presents the inward flowing of our linked ideas with the vistas of the possibility of their manifestation. We attempt to aim our thoughts in order to see clearly and then by our focused seeing arrive at our intended destination, the thought becoming form. This initiating force can be compared to the striking of the strings on a guitar. The notes sound and then fade. However before they fade they stimulate other sympathetic notes as in the harmonics of a scale. Finally they fade completely and move on. It is during this moving on stage that all of the thought forms intertwine and shape the events of our world. A harmony is established between these thought forms much like the cables of a suspension bridge. Stability comes from a sharing of tension. The initial energy of initiation resonates within this tension, so that there are constant reminders of the direction the form is taking. It is important during this stage to make your visualizations as clearly as possible imbuing them with emotion and a definite direction. Once the internal harmony is established there comes a period of silence.
It is in this silence after the harmony is resonating within that the molecular levels inside of the thought forms are linked for transformation-demonstration. It is important during this time of silence that the resident energy levels be constant and be undisturbed by conflicting waves of influence. Keep your visualizations free from antagonistic thoughts that run counter to the purpose of your directed thought form. When you are able to do this with some facility, this makes possible the next stage of development.
Two: The Maintaining Influence.
Here we find the natural progression of the Initiating force. The structure of the thought forms experience waves of interstitial harmony throughout. This creates energies within the linked thoughts that are focused along the same paths that have been derived by the Initiating Force.It becomes a higher order of being at this point. The ideas are established as thought forms. In this stage when you think about your vision, it is with a degree of familiarity. The imagination has been raised into an image of reflection. These images of reflection are of a secondary nature only to the original impetus or idea. They gain strength from the continual buildup of the connections found within the thought forms. Inspirations then results from the free flowing of these seed ideas. This in turn fosters growth of the thought form that acts to imitate and then go beyond the original parameters in your vision. Invariably in our imagination we cannot account for all of the changes that our thoughts will go through, nor in the exact manner in which they will take form. Still by reaching this point of being, in the Maintaining Influence, thoughts then are capable of going beyond their initial calling forth. Then they can produce every world that is to come and give entryway into all of the successive transmutations that take place to bring this thought into form.
These transmutations are the result of the expansion of the original idea, which still retains its initiating force. All growth cycles, all past correspondences between thoughts and all future alliances that end up into form depend upon the strength of this Maintaining Influence. In this way the seed idea is concentrated continuously until another level of manifestation is born into being.
Three: The Quiescent Harmony.
As the name suggests this is where the feeling of the “Peace which passeth understanding” is taken from. When the Initiating Force and The Maintaining Influence reach a place of stasis where one feeds the other and both are complete, the consciousness then experiences The Quiescent Harmony. This completion is not an end in itself but is a temporary equal sharing of the inflow and outflow of thoughts into form. Although this sharing is characterized by silence, bliss, and stillness, it is the most active of the states of consciousness.
There are constant adjustments occurring here, in order to balance growth with the new thoughts being engendered by this growth. It is where we are in constant communication with the mystery of our being. It is from this Mystery then that the reality of the transformations into form becomes known. Here the formless is taking shape. It is where light is being imaged into the differentiated colors of experience amidst all of the surrounding thought forms. Everything is affected by the actions taking place here. It is a part of your being that can be recognized most easily because there will be reflections in the outer world to remind you of what is taking place. Part of the reason for this description here is to set the field of view plainly for the reader. Because it is the nature of mind to be obscure, it is important to set up beacons of light everywhere so that we can make our journey within as well lit as possible. This is the best way to chart our course within.
The concept of the Quiescent Harmony sets up an expectation for you to look for. Then you can experiment along the way in your own thinking modifying this concept in the terms that you feel most comfortable with. The deepness and richness of this state of Mind is revealed when your attention is directed continually to this particular understanding. When you do this you will experience the fullness of your connection with the mystery of being. This mystery comes closer to us as we connect with it by expanding our awareness.
It is here within the inner workings of your mind that the subtle processes that bring forth your world into being are first making their presence known. By focusing the light of your understanding on this area the wonder of your being grows. It is a wonder that you simply watch unfold. There isn’t any need to do anything about it. Your expanding awareness is all that this process requires. The attention on the Quiescent Harmony is put into focus by recognizing that in each moment there are lifetimes of possibilities. Your vision for your highest good is paramount amongst all of these possibilities. It is your internal acceptance of this vision that brings about the Quiescent Harmony.
These three levels of consciousness are not to be seen as from high to low or good or bad, or even from left to right. They intertwine and are always in a kind of blend. They are mentioned here and now for the sake of our classification. This helps us to increase our awareness of these internal workings, which then speeds up our demonstration of these thoughts into manifestation. The emphasis isn’t so much on how quickly thoughts materialize as it is on recognizing all along the way that our thoughts are taking form. We are building a platform of ideas here, which will increase our familiarity with this internal process. Then by utilizing these innate mind flows, we can make it easier to determine where in this matrix of consciousness we are standing right now. With this understanding we will learn how to navigate within any of these states of mind. We will be able to use our awareness as the perfect lever for bringing forth the visions we see ourselves living in. We continue inside of this awareness in order to increase our connections to the series of thoughts we have brought forth, and which are the conceptual earth into which our visions grow and appear to our eyes in a finished form.
Location.
We need to know where we are throughout this entire process. The Spontaneous Awareness of Being reminds us to remember in the moment that there is a something to be aware of that goes beyond our normal way of seeing. We look for the being that is ourselves. Where are you? What are you thinking about? Are you here and now or off somewhere without conscious attention of where you are? You or the essence of you can travel anywhere at anytime. It is in these travels that there is the danger of acting or reacting without the Spontaneous Awareness.
It is important to establish your relationship to yourself and to your life as a whole. Begin to know yourself and to become aware of where you are standing right now. What is the tone of your thinking? Are your thoughts making something wonderful for your future or are you projecting your thoughts in a negative manner. What you are thinking about is your location. It is where you are in the moment. Get to know yourself. Touch your heart there deep inside of you. This is an experience that is beyond being incredible. It is a life fulfilling moment to be extended through every now that you are a part of.
What we need to do if we are having difficulty in finding ourselves is to rid ourselves of any unwanted thoughts that have been going around inside, without our awareness that they were there.
We surround ourselves with shells of awareness. There are levels within levels of meaning that may not make any sense to us. Usually these meaningless thoughts are colored by negative emotions. It’s like wearing many layers of clothing in the winter. These shells of awareness keep us from finding out our true location. They may appear comforting like the extra layers of clothing do to keep out the cold in winter. The truth is however that there is no wintertime for the soul. The soul is your inmost being. It is the truth of your life and behind every purpose that you are ready to commit your life to. It exists in paradise
Discovery of the soul within leads to the doorway into a paradise-like thought atmosphere. Here all of your actions promote your highest good. You cannot make a mistake from this point of being. The weather here is fine. You do not need the extra clothing of negative thinking. A T-shirt and cutoffs with maybe sandals for your feet will be all that you need to put on. Feel the perfect climate of your life unfold when you spend your awareness in contemplating your inmost self. Your world is made up entirely of your thinking. You cannot help but experience your thoughts. When your location is in paradise there are no filters blocking or resisting the light of your understanding at this level. Your thought atmosphere is in complete harmony with itself.
Build with your soul and praise the center of your being. This is where you are coming from. Praising your center means to bring forth into the light all that you are, so that the light issues forth naturally in all of its glory. Pay attention to your center, as it will indicate to you all that you are and direct your actions accordingly. It is here in this center of yourself where you plant the flag of your sovereignty over all that you think.
Your thoughts are a beam a light that shines into the unknown. The more this light is kept shining, the more you will discover about this unknown. You will get to know this light better as you continue to attenuate your focus. This light relates directly to what you are placing on the screen of your internal vision.
What are your dreams? What do you want to accomplish in life? How do you see yourself interacting with those around you? They are all a part of this light. You cannot expect to see where you are going unless you remember to keep this light shining. Your location is established in each moment in reference to your life experiences. This is your atmosphere that you live inside of. The Spontaneous Awareness of your location then makes it possible for you to continue to move forward in your life goals. Then with your purpose fully illuminated every moment becomes meaningful. Otherwise you will find yourself asleep to what is going on around you and unaware of your relationship to whom you are.
Wake up into the world of your own making. If you are dissatisfied or unhappy then you are by definition sleeping and letting that unhappy dream take over your consciousness. Just as in other disturbing dreams that you may have during nighttime sleep, give yourself a command to wake up into the real world. Use the Spontaneous Awareness to tie you into the moment. Let yourself be placed perfectly into a world of your own making. This is the world in which the reality of your conception perfectly reflects your inner connection. Keep reminding yourself periodically to Wake Up. Then an opening will arrive where your thoughts perfectly reflect that which is experienced. As a result you become the pattern of your own perfection. It is how you are able to set your soul free.
Here is a song I wrote back in 1981 which tells about where we need to be in mind and what to do when we are not where we want our home to be. The song is called Lovers Mansion and refers to that central place of ultimate connection where we are in communion with our highest inmost self. This connection makes possible every kind of wonderful experience described as a Lovers Mansion. In this Lovers Mansion you always face the light. It is the place of the Quiescent Harmony where “all of your visions are airy and bright.” I would like to now introduce the voice of the songwriter in order to describe the beauty of this incredible place of being.
Lovers Mansion
Come on everybody to the sound of celebration.
Join in the harmony that whispers in the trees.
Finding what is truth and what is right within your heart.
There are so many voices and they all must disappear.
Listen to the spirit that is just and dedicated
till the principle of life and good is all that you hear.
Take a moment spend some time in Lover’s Mansion
you owe it to yourself to set your soul free.
No more waiting for that season of delight.
Bring with you your gladness and the magic will make it right.
If you find you are looking at something and it doesn’t seem quite right.
Turn you head and your mind around and face it towards the light.
Feelings are the setting to the scenes of your life,
Make all of your pictures airy and bright.
Take away the darkness and the clouds of despair,
Turn off the illusions for they’re not really there.
You have a place to go to when you change your mind,
Be pleased with your decision for you’ve finally conquered time.
Take a moment spend some time in Lover’s Mansion.
You owe it to yourself to set your soul free.
Transformation:
The voice of the poet sage now appears briefly and will come in from time to time as the occasion arises. It is so that we can explore and expand our descriptions further in order to develop what takes place as thoughts move forward into form. Poetry allows us to suggest meanings where otherwise we would be at a loss to explain. Specifically in this process of transformation there is so much that is going on that cannot be uncovered by direct analysis, but can only be alluded to in simile. Artistic expression goes past our normal way of seeing and helps to open up the doors to our expanding awareness.
In every moment transformation is taking place. Look up. Your highest good awaits you.
It is here now and has always been taking place there. It is the same way with smiles.
Smiles transform our hearts and those of others who respond to them.
Look long and deeply and give with your heart so sweetly.
The essence of love is in our constant going forward in our understanding of one another.
Yes there is change. It must be so.
There are no patterns to the experience of joy.
It only happens as each moment goes
from the unknown to the known.
There is the light shining in eternal satisfaction.
In harmony, stasis and completion all is one.
A common misconception is that we have to work hard to achieve unity or oneness with the Creative Force. This however isn’t the case. We only need to be willing to change our minds at a moments notice. This is what is called for in every transformation of our thinking. It is the process of letting go of the old paradigm and allowing the new thought forms to engage our attention. The thing is we are unconsciously accepting many of the misconceptions that have been previously defined in the world we live in. We start out resistant to change. The status quo seems so much easier. It is because we don’t have to think.
Change is defined in the moment of active thinking. We need to reach up in the moment in order to listen. It is this active thinking which separates our old ideas from those that are coming into form in the moment. We choose our thoughts anew then, instead of replaying the old thoughts. This is creation in action. Then we can operate “in all ways contrary to the world” which represents our old way of thinking. This clears the way for us to work inside of the Creative Force of consciousness. Think about this.
There has never been a moment when the Creative Force has not been one hundred percent present in your life. All you have to do is to show up and pay attention. Take responsibility for every thought. Wield thoughts at first like a raging bull, and then with practice like a shepherd his sheep.
Let this internal transformation go where it will under the guidance of the light of your focused vision. This is the same light that opens up every area of the unknown along the way. The attitude to assume is to continually say yes to your vision, no matter what appears. Then your thoughts will begin to take form going over mountains and across great seas in one leap. It is the light of your imagination that beams them where they are going to take form. The demonstration of your vision is contained in its initial out flowing from your original idea. Along the way every transformation relies upon this central theme of taking the initial vision and expanding it to take the entire sphere of manifestation into account. These transformations take place in thought and throughout the worlds without end, which make possible every manifestation of being.
