Positive Thinking
Prof.D.R.Alban Rodricko
The book and movie, The Secret, sparked off my journey into positive thinking. On reading how peoples’ lives had changed by changing their thought patterns, I too was inspired to try it out.
It worked! I will be taking up the job of my dreams in a month’s time. I had a very strong desire to do something spiritual, and I discovered that I was good at writing. During the last two months I kept visualising myself doing spiritual writing. I even wrote a resignation letter to my boss and colleagues in my present job as engineer (although I didn’t send it to them!). I went for all the workshops I could get my hands on, energy workshops, meditations, even Vipassana. Then I started writing short articles, so that I could get a job if someone liked them. The path unfolded itself slowly. One thing led to another, and just yesterday I got a confirmation, and will be joining Life Positive as a journalist.
Two very important requirements are intensity of desire and trust in the Divine. Don’t expect things to happen on their own. Opportunities will come up but you will need to catch and then pursue them.
Thinking positive
So how can one use the principles of positive thinking in one’s life?
The philosophy behind this concept is that everything in this universe is made up of energy or vibrations. Every part of the universe, even the rocks and minerals, is basically energy that has been transformed. Similarly, our thoughts and words are also subtle energies or vibrations.
Quantum Physics confirms that anything and everything in the physical universe is the result of varying degrees of vibration.
Secondly, similar vibrations and energy are attracted to each other. This is a universal law that is applicable to all things, called the ‘Law of Attraction’.
The simplest definition of this law is ‘like attracts like.’ All forms of matter and energy are attracted to that which is of a like vibration. For instance, you are drawn to like-minded people (similar vibrations). We are basically living magnets who are transmitting our ‘thoughts (thought vibrations)’ into the universe and also attracting ‘similar vibrations’ to us, constantly. It is because of vibrations, that for no logical reason, we are sometimes immediately attracted to some persons and also repelled to some people, though we are meeting them for the first time.
Whatever we think about, good or bad, is transmitted into the universe, in the form of thought energy or vibrations. The stronger our thought or the more often we think about a particular thought, the stronger become its vibrations. We are all radiating that which we are; we are all giving and receiving vibration signals on many different levels. What you are seeking to be or do in this life has a vibrational pattern to match.
Everything you have ever dreamt, whether spoken or unspoken has been transmitted by you on one level or another. Your consistent thoughts and feelings about any particular subject are being brought into your experience whether you intend them or not.
Thoughts, feelings, and mental images are made of matter, just a very subtle kind of matter. This subtle kind of matter is the soil of the universe. When you focus your thoughts, feeling and mental images (some also call this a mental hologram), you launch your creations into this soil of the universe.
If you know how the law of attraction works, you know that you get what you vibrate. Your vibration is based on your thoughts, since thoughts drive feelings, and feelings are what comprise your vibration. The universe returns what you have given freely a thousand times over. What you sow is what you reap. In order to receive you must give. If you wish someone to have more blessings and love, you will receive blessings and love a thousand times more. If you wish someone illness and misfortune, you will receive bad luck and misfortunes a thousand times more. I am sure you have noticed that when you are in a good mood, everything seems to fall into place. However, when you are angry or depressed a string of bad luck seems to follow you all the more.
When you think about anything very strongly with emotions, it becomes your dominant vibration, which is being sent to the universe. Based on the Law of Attraction, the universe then creates such circumstances, which will bring that particular thing or event in your life. There could be a delay in manifestation of that thing, but if you are consistent in your thought, it will come. It is said that our work is to throw our desires and goals to the universe. How it manifests in your life, is the work of the universe. The more clear and consistent you are in your desire, the quicker that particular thing will manifest in your life. It could be a materialistic thing, a relationship, and a particular self-improvement, anything for that matter. In addition, for the universe there is no difference in manifesting Rs 100 or Rs 1 crore. The difference is in the extent of our faith or, in our own self-worth.
This universal law is working in your life right now, whether you are aware of it or not. You are attracting the people, situations, jobs and every other circumstance of your life. Once you are aware of this law and how it works, you can use it to attract what you want into your life.
How do you create your desires using the powerful law?
• Be very clear about what you want
• Visualise and raise your vibration
• Start feeling good about it, just as you would feel if it is already with you.
You must be very clear on exactly what your desire is. Focus on it. Give it all your positive energy. Feel good!
A major factor behind this universal law is the energy and vibrations of our emotions and feelings. Any thought you might have, when combined with emotion, vibrates out from you to the universe, and will attract back what you want.
It’s also important to take the necessary action to make your dreams come true.
Now all you have to do is allow it. Sounds easy, right? This can be the most difficult part to do. Be doubt-free. All you need to do is expect it. Act like you already have it. Be grateful.
To get it right be very careful about some factors. First is ‘right speech’. Avoid negative language, for negativity will attract negativity in your life. Be careful about what you say, either about yourself or others. At the same time do not get paranoid. We will almost never be able to be positive all the time, for many of our thinking patterns are unconscious. Stop worrying if you have been running yourself down or someone else. It’s okay. Simply use the opportunity to recommit yourself to the goal of self-awareness.
Secondly, use the power of affirmations and visualise your object of desire vividly, as if you already have it. Visualise or imaging it in detail with colour and feelings, as much as you can. Never forget your focus. Even if it takes time, you will finally get it.
Oh yes, terrorism. If we focus on insecurity, fear, terrorism, and recession, we indirectly attract terrorism in the world. So use the law of attraction to draw a happy, peaceful and loving world around us. Voila! Problem solved.
