Your Thoughts Create Your World

Namasté! 
 
Are you ready for a change in your life? I found this quote 
in the What is Enlightenment magazine (Jan/March, 2007): 
“Our hearts are restless until we rest in the infinite.” 
Some say that the Infinite is the Mind of God. It is my 
belief that I am able to become one with the Infinite, or 
one with my God, and there I can rest. In that rest, I 
focus on my spiritual path. 
 
In our earth patterns, there are many seasons, just as 
there are with our life patterns. In my second book, In 
Due Season, I wrote, “Season—a suitable time: This is your 
season, if you claim it and believe it”. Now this is your 
new season to birth a new creation into existence. Put your 
focus on birthing the creation you want to bring to pass, 
and it shall be done—in due season. 
 
Last month we explored the thoughts in our mind. Did you 
recognize any negative patterns that you may want to change 
for inner growth? I asked for you to create within a 
sacred space for the path you will follow. Have you? This 
is called “holding a space” for manifesting. 
 
Unity founder Charles Fillmore says, “God's greatest gift 
to man is the power of thought, through which he can 
incorporate into his consciousness the Mind of God.” 
(Unity: A Quest for Truth, by Eric Butterworth, p. 49).  
Another wise man and the founder of the Religious Science 
Church, Ernest Holmes, states, “. . . thought is an inner 
state of consciousness; it will be the condition.” And 
from Holy Scripture, “As he thinketh in his heart, so is 
he.” (Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)—a powerful word from God to us!  
 
What are you thinking inside your heart that is manifesting 
outward? What's planted in your heart right now? Is it for 
your highest good, or not?  
 
Authors Jerry and Esther Hicks share insights from the 
teachings of Abraham, a non-physical guide of Esther's. On 
pg 26 of Ask and It is Given, they are told, “Whatever you 
are giving your attention to causes you to emit a 
vibration, and the vibrations that you offer equals your 
asking, which equals your point of attraction”. I looked 
up the word “emit”. It means "to send forth" (light, heat, 
sound, etc., which are all vibrations)—creating a response 
of either harmony or discord in all things. If I desire a 
thing or want a new experience, I put my thoughts toward 
that idea. In a daily spiritual communion with God, my 
words speak of the new attractions I want in my life. 
 
As the Hicks’ continue to tell us, The Law of Attraction is 
“…the basis of your world, your Universe, and All-That-Is.  
Things of like vibration are drawn to each other.” (pg. 
309) What are you drawing to you or attracting?  
Personally, in 2008, I want to attract a spiritual/soul 
mate to me. When I leave my home, I consciously emit the 
vibration that will attract this likeness to me. 
 
 
Exercise  
 
Can you see yourself with your inner mind's eye drawing 
everything to you that you desire? Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV) 
shares, Now faith (faith in this present moment), is the  
substance of things hoped for (whatever it is that you 
want to come to pass), the evidence of things not seen 
(something that's not visible to our eyes). What's not 
visible to your eyes that you see in your mind? 
 
Unity founder Charles Fillmore taught his people how to use 
the Twelve Powers of Man, which he described as gifts from 
God. I introduce the first one, which is Faith. Fillmore 
taught this powerful affirmation, “Faith draws my good from 
the invisible to the visible.” You may want to repeat this 
daily more than once. By activating your Faith within you, 
you choose a positive thought pattern. Then you are ready 
and able to create your world. 
 
In the book Ask and It Is Given (Esther and Jerry Hicks), 
“Deliberate Creation" is defined as follows: “Focusing on 
what is intended while being consciously aware of one’s 
vibrational state of being and connection to one’s Source.” 
The “deliberate” part is focusing of thought with the 
intention of feeling alignment with one’s desires. This is 
how your world is created. 
 
One of the most important steps to learn and master in this 
is the Art of Allowing. Once you have matched (harmonized) 
your vibration with what you want, you act as if the 
accomplishment of your desire is already so. Deliberately 
choosing thoughts that feel good—in this case, feeling that 
you have already achieved your desire—you are aligned with 
your Source. That way, you allow your creation to take 
place. Can you do that? 
 
Let's ponder this process of mental allowing. What is the 
opposite? Many think of blocking. We either let things 
through, or we block them from reaching the other end, 
(Think of a football player blocking, for example). What 
block are you creating?  
 
So you want the right and perfect world for you? Then 
focus on what it is you want to happen! That's holding a 
space for the change to occur. 
 
What happens when you have been faithful, holding that 
space, but nothing as you see it is happening? Does that 
mean a No from your Universal God? Or does it mean “not 
yet”? Maybe it's not your season yet. It may be a time for 
your character to develop until you are ready, until a 
suitable time or a season has passed; then your Source or 
God will grant you permission to move forward. 
 
Exercise 
 
Examine your heart’s motivation for wanting your heart’s 
desires. See your Faith in the color royal blue, and 
picture it in the center of your brain. Open yourself up 
to your truth center and higher thought power. Look within 
your soul's center, where God resides in your soul, and 
receive your answers from Spirit. Then create again your 
blueprint. You are the artist and writer of your destiny! 
 
So I ask you again, what is the inner activity of your 
thoughts? Are your thoughts from your heart, moving into 
your mind and soul? How pure are your inner thoughts and 
the Words you speak?  
 
We turn again to Ernest Holmes: “The renewing of the mind 
is a scientific act.” He also wrote, “We must place the 
word where it belongs; it is always first, before all else, 
in the beginning.” (Science of Mind, Feb., 2007, p. 26). 
Holmes continues, “We find, then, that the Word, which is 
the inner activity of thought, comes first in the creative 
services, and all else comes from the effect of the Word 
operating upon a Universal substance. We must, if we wish 
to prove the power of the Spirit in our lives, look not to 
outside things or effects, but to the Word alone.” Wow!  
 
How do you picture yourself at this time and in this place? 
The Book of Genesis, the first chapter of the Holy Bible, 
states that we were made in the image of God from His 
Words. The spoken words! We are created to be “in his 
image and likeness”, so therefore, just like God, we can 
speak our words and things appear for our good—and 
sometimes not so good.  
 
Meister Eckhart, Thomas Troward, Myrtle Fillmore, and many 
other religious philosophers agree that we are part of the 
One Mind of the Infinite God, and that our words and our 
thoughts are the activity of that "One Mind” in our 
consciousness. The power that holds the planets in their 
place is the same power that flows through man, as Ernest 
Holmes attests. 
 
It is my hope that you, my dears, take the time in thoughts 
of consciousness and ponder these statements. The Word 
comes first in the creative process, and all else comes 
from the effect of the Word. So how important do you think 
your words are that flow from your heart out to the 
Universe? You don't have to be a religious person who goes 
to church. You just have to desire a change of heart and 
improve the words that come out of your mouth to create 
your heart’s desires!  
 
It's now four months into the New Year. So I ask you this 
question: What are you creating or thinking in your heart?  
Is it really your desire, or do you want to create 
something else?  
 
My dear ones, you are the creative center within your soul. 
It all starts with you—with a thought, then a word, and 
finally, an action. No one can give your heart’s desire to 
you. Creation is your birthright from when God spoke life 
into you and made you just like Him. You have untapped 
abilities, so start today to awaken yourself to your 
truthfulness and create your dreams and reality for the 
rest of the year! 
 
I leave this affirmation with you, “I am a new creation 
with God today. I can redirect my thoughts into positive 
and direct energy for recreating a new world for myself.”
