“You Are What You Think” or “Thinking Makes It So”

Since the advent of what can be described as New Thought Metaphysics, the saying “You are what you think” has been accepted by many.  To scores of people it forms the nucleus of positive spirituality.  It is the foundation of all positive-thinking movements, whether of a spiritual or self-help nature. The concept is that if you think positively, your life will be positive; but the reverse will be true if you think negatively.  Carrying this concept still further into the psychic realm of interacting energies, there is the so-called law of attraction.

We know that each soul will awaken to certain levels of understanding with every passing lifetime. Souls who are currently in a level of “You are what you think” are basically content that they have achieved some sort of absolute spirituality upon which to base their lives. And, from their previous perspectives of life, they have.  There is, of course, a wide gap between power-of-thought metaphysics and religions based upon the precepts of hell and damnation.  Therefore, to those who have made this giant leap, it would seem that they have possibly arrived at some pinnacle of spiritual wisdom.  Plus, from this position, emerges still another popular saying: “Your thinking makes it so,” which suggests that the power of thought can manifest one’s needs or desires.

News occurs instantly and constantly throughout our world, both about our planet and our fellow inhabitants being threatened in so many ways. We hear about threats, such as:

• Superbugs increasingly resistant to antibiotics!
• Stays in hospitals becoming riskier!
• Planetary pollution of the oceans and waterways!
• Electrical energies flooding the airwaves, affecting energy fields of the human body!
• Fears of terrorism mounting worldwide!
• Predictions of a failing U.S. economy and its impact on world economies!
• A resurgence of the threat of nuclear annihilation!

It is rare if people do not go about their daily business feeling threatened in one or more ways—whether this threat is conscious or festering slightly beneath the surface level of awareness. Most individuals live against a threatening backdrop, and are concerned for those they dearly love.

Since the beginning of recorded time, various religious and spiritual groups have engaged in rituals.  To many, rituals form some sort of bridge between themselves and the Divine, or God.  From very simple people living meagerly in huts to the so-called captains of industry at the top of skyscrapers, very few people are immune from finding themselves engaged in some form of religious ritual.  In many religions, rituals take up a great deal of the followers’ time.

To the vast majority of souls occupying this earth plane of existence, some sort of ritual is practiced in accord with the general theology espoused. The question should be asked—if so much time is taken in the practice of rituals, are they of any real value?  Is there anything to be gained from rituals, or are they just part of pomp and circumstance to impress the masses?

The beginning of each New Year symbolizes the possibility of a new beginning or an improvement over what was. It can be a dream or a hope of what can be. To one who is intimately involved with one’s soul in a physical sense, it can be the anticipation that Divine Presence will somehow touch one’s life with increased blessings of some kind in the New Year.

To most people, a New Year does indeed present an opportunity for positive expectation, that somehow, in some way, the possibility exists that things will be better. In order for such dreams and wishes to become realities, the mind must adopt an attitude and state of consciousness that is expectant of improvement, both inwardly and outwardly, and willing to take the action necessary to give energy to one’s thoughts in the day-to-day world of one’s environment.
