Spiritual Existence

Through belief, prayer and positive thinking we can change just about anything we desire. This includes inanimate objects. Because everything is made up of the same kind of materials, our spiritual selves and that of our God; our physical body, to other animals and objects, we can therefore have an affect upon everything. If the computer crashes while you are trying to work, meditate for a while, then psychically fix it. Christian Science teaches its followers a statement to focus on and repeat continually until the mind releases all trappings of the material world, and embraces the spiritual truth.

THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT

In psychology, it is known that we all create our own reality to some extent. We sometimes hear things that we want to hear, see things that we want to see, and dismiss the things that we do not like. Most of us live out our lives in accordance to what we believe is better for us, sometimes without even realising it. Our emotions tend to get in the way of viewing the world as it really is.

Even though our souls chose our life plan, our free will can create what we want in our lives. We can decide what kind of elements will be present in our lives and demand better experiences for ourselves and each other.

The law of attraction, or the law of cause and effect as it is also known, simply states that what we think and feel can and will manifest itself into our lives, and the lives of others. For instance, if we think ill health and bad luck, we invite this negativity to manifest itself in our daily life. By thinking positive thoughts, such as good health and happiness, this will become apparent to our lives.

Your present position in life is a manifestation of the dominant interests in your subconscious. This interest is controlled by your thoughts and emotions. The occasional conscious thoughts do not determine your life experiences, it is only the main dominant interest, the thought form that is constant in your consciousness, which is passed down to your subconscious mind.

Changing your life

If you are not satisfied with who you are and where you are in life, than change the way you think and you will change the dominant interest. It may take some time, but it is well worth the effort. Think positive thoughts about yourself, your life, and experiences, as well as your hopes and dreams for the future. Daily affirmations are particularly good for this, as they can connect almost immediately with your subconscious mind. By saying “I love myself” a couple of times a day, even if you are feeling at your worst, this will create a positive impression in your psyche.

There are instances in people’s lives when their dominant interest changes almost immediately, possibly following an ultimatum. For instance, an alcoholic is told by a loved one “It’s the drink or me”. This message is sent straight to the subconscious in a moment of extreme emotional sensitivity. Recovering from alcoholism becomes the dominant force in this person’s subconscious.

The law of attraction is simple:

• Think health – you attract health.
• Think disease – you attract disease.
• Think happiness – you attract happiness.

. We can easily connect to our Higher Selves once again by quietening the mind and practising daily meditation techniques. By doing so our thoughts become more concerned with spirituality, and less concerned with materialistic values. We can listen to our inner guide and take the necessary steps to securing our path of spiritual enlightenment.
