"When I say thought is everything I mean that literally everything in
your life could be a construct of your thoughts. According to Albert Einstein
and other brilliant scientists like David Bohm, it seems reality is nothing
more than the projection of thought. Everything in life that we perceive with
our 5 senses comes firstly from our habitual thinking. The fact that we all see
the same things when we are in a group of people means that collectively our
thoughts work together. This togetherness of perceiving the same things makes
sense since we know the entire universe is made up of energy vibrating at
different rates. Everything in the universe is connected on some level even
though it might not seem that way.
Although we may view the same scenery or landscape when we are standing in
a group, when we walk away from each other we go back into our own seemingly
separate little world. Some of us live in the lap of luxury and some of us live
in total poverty. Some of us are happy with ourselves and our lives, some of us
are dreadfully unhappy and cannot see a way out from the problems that seem to
engulf us.
If thought is everything we should able to change virtually every aspect of
our life by simply changing our habitual thoughts. Although this is a difficult
concept to prove scientifically, you only have to look over your own life and
look at the ups and downs you have gone through to see that this concept seems
valid. I can only speak for myself but when I look back over my own life I can
clearly see how when I am thinking positively and optimistically I have
experienced success on so many levels and have felt content during those
periods. At times when life has not gone so well, it was my thoughts that let
me down, not bad luck or misfortune.
I enjoy reading biographies and almost all biographies are written about
successful people, I guess a biography written about someone unsuccessful would
not be very successful. There seems to be a common theme with all successful
people and that is, they thought about being a success in a certain area of
their life long before, perhaps many years before, they became a big success.
One other very fascinating aspect of the lives of many successful people
was the fact that in other areas of their life, these super successful people
were quite unsuccessful. Perhaps they were successful in their primary field
but many suffered failures in their relationships, financially and in other
important areas of life. Many of these people claim the same story and that is
they never gave much thought to success in other areas of their life other than
their primary goal.
If you believe in the concept that thought is everything, you could
probably make incredible changes in your life that lead to greater happiness
and success. If this concept seems like fiction I guess you just have to leave
your life to the winds of fate, but for me I like the idea that my thoughts do
control the outcome of my life and I feel I have seen enough evidence over the
course of my life to know deep inside that thought is everything". John
