Thoughts are Things - We can Create

As living things our thoughts are what governs everything in our lives. Our thoughts are as the seeds in nature. They require nurture, watering and fertilizer like any good plant.

Nurture is when we do all we can to manifest our own best good. We water the seed with our tears of disappointment. And we fertilize with our successes and failures.

We think and sow the seeds of this thought for it to be nurtured and blossom. The blossom is the events in our lives. We have created our own best good.

It then becomes how we think. Are we negative or positive is a good start. As a positive person, taking charge of our thoughts. The random is often negative and comes from our own consciousness of growth.

When our inner growth has not achieved a measure of love for self and others, then we can not sow in love. Love is the key to all things in the universe. It is what we strive for in positive thought.

Negativity is when we are caught up in ego's admission of our own righteousness. "We are never wrong. Others must take the responsibility for my pain, my hurt, my life." That is debilitating and becomes self-fulfilling prophecy when we continue to 'blame' instead of take responsibility for self.

It is also a place of 'my' ego that takes too large a focus. When we focus all in our lives on my ego take, we leave no room for others to express and they may even teach us a thing or two, if we but listen and learn.

My says...I do not belong to any other group of people! I am a self-absorbed, self-fulfilling, being that lives on an island named self. From this island all is well with my world, because I need no one.

Eventually all those that are within my sphere will see and absorb this message of self, because that is who I draw. By the law of attraction, I can only draw the same to my life. As I reflect, others will see.

The others drawn to this thought are just the same - self absorbed. There is no reaching out to others to learn and grow - only my righteousness of self absorbed self importance.

In many people's lives I have seen this as ever decreasing circles that eventually disappear, but unfortunately right up into self. It can become the self-fulfilling message.

Circles, and circles of sending and giving the same. There is no progress. All philosophy teaches we must at some point reach out for new energy. Nothing survives in the vacuum of our own thoughts.

While our thoughts create, we must move to make it manifest.
