Focus Mind Body and Spirit Equally

Mind Body Spirit and the Power to Achieve Happiness and Success

by: Willie Horton


Very often I find it difficult to explore some of the key concepts in what might loosely be described as personal development or self improvement, given that ordinary language and words prove wholly inadequate. For example, do the words ‘universal energy’ adequately capture the reality that you and I are simply vibrating energy, that we live in a world and universe comprised solely of vibrating energy and that all that energy is highly responsive? Does the sobriquet ‘Law of Attraction‘ mean different things to different people? And where do the boundaries lie between mind, body and spirit?


In fact, of course, there are no boundaries between mind, body and spirit just as there are no limits between you and I as individuals and the universe of which each of us comprises an integral and indispensable part. Not only are we part of a whole, when it comes to us as individuals, there is just one – mind, body and spirit are simply indefinably different aspects of the one. This is important because, when one looks at the facts in this manner, it becomes blindingly clear that what we are thinking, in other words what is going on in our minds, has an immediate and direct impact on how we feel, spiritually and physically. For example, when one dissects the apparent reality of stress and its very real physical consequences, we find that our thoughts directly cause shifts in body temperature and heart rate, changes in the production and release of a whole range of chemicals all of which, if unchecked, lead to serious illnesses – such as heart attack and stroke – and, if seriously out of control, can lead to premature death.


The point that I am making is this. Our state of mind has a direct impact on the state of mind of those around us – this has proven time and again by research in the field of psychology over many years. How much more does our state of mind affect us, ourselves? Your health, fitness and well being are all direct consequences of your state of mind. Even your weight – your ability to gain too much of it or a variety of eating disorders from bulimia to anorexia – is a direct consequence of what is going on in your head.


And what is going on in your head is directly within your own control – or should be if you take the trouble to make the simplest and, ultimately, most powerful decision that we can all make as responsible adults – choosing your own thoughts. As things stand, your normal mind is plagued with inappropriate thoughts, most of which are derived from your subconscious mind. Research has concluded that the normal subconscious focuses on the events of our formative years and is more likely to focus on negative rather than the positive events – things that happened many years ago that made us feel bad about ourselves then and which, through being replayed are still making us feel inadequate. That, sadly, is our default state of mind. Of course, just because that’s the default doesn’t mean that we cannot control as to what we will or will not pay attention to.


Ultimately, you are your own master. Your life – every single aspect of it – is dictated by the thoughts that you’re paying attention to. This is happening whether you’re aware of it or not. The ultimate and powerful decision that I’ve just mentioned can be taken, day to day, moment to moment, by choosing to pay attention to the actual sensory experience of the here and now instead of letting your mind subconsciously wander to the stuff that’s hurting you. If you do not take this action, your mind will continue to hurt you. Taking this decision is the only sure-fire way of preventing your own subconscious dwell on the self-destructive thoughts that we all have to a greater of lesser degree. No other way is more effective. No other way has the power to completely transform your health, your fitness, your wellbeing, your personal effectiveness and, ultimately, your ability to live a life of peace, happiness and effortless success.


Strong words – and, for once, words that are not open to dozens of different interpretations! The choice is stark – it’s a life and death decision because if you’re not living your life to the full you might as well be dead. Don’t leave your fate in the hands of a subconscious mind that always has its finger on the self-destruct button. Grow up – take responsibility for your own life and start living it to the full. While the decision to choose your own thoughts is transformational, we’re not talking about any breathtaking leap of faith here. No one is asking you to jump off a cliff blindfolded and trust in the universe to catch you. We’re talking about stopping – right now – noticing what you’re thinking (or where your mind thinks it is!) and deciding, not on a counter thought, to focus on now. You could focus on your breathing – that’s happening now. You could focus on the wind blowing through your hair. If you’ve no hair, you’ll always find something else to focus on!! We’re talking about coming to our senses. Because, in doing so, we will stop making a nonsense of our lives and start being all that we can truly be.

Excerpts from “The Seth Material”

Excerpts from


The Seth Material
by Jane Roberts & Robert Butts


3

… you project your own energy out to form the physical world. Therefore, to change your world, it is yourself you must change. You must change what you project.


11

We are individualized portions of energy, materialized within physical existence, to learn to form ideas from energy, and make them physical (this is idea construction). We project ideas into an object, so that we can deal with it. But the object is the thought, materialized. This physical representation of idea permits us to learn the difference between the “I” who thinks and the thought. Idea construction teaches the “I” what it is, by showing it its own products in a physical manner. We learn by viewing our own creations, in other words. We learn the power and effects of ideas by changing them into physical realities; and we learn responsibility in the use of creative energy…


The entity is the basic self, immortal, nonphysical. It communicates on an energy level with other entities, and has an almost inexhaustible supply of energy at its command. The individual is the portion of the whole self that we manage to express physically…..


The eye projects and focuses the inner image (idea) onto the physical world in the same manner that a motion-picture camera transfers an image onto a screen. The mouth creates words. The ears create sound. The difficulty in understanding this principle is due to the fact that we’ve taken it for granted that the image and sound already exist for the senses to interpret. Actually the senses are the channels of creation by which idea is projected into material expression.


The basic idea is that the senses are developed, not to permit awareness of an already existing material world, but to create it…


The subconscious is the threshold of idea’s emergence into the individual conscious mind. It connects the entity and the individual… The physical body is the material construction of the entity’s idea of itself under the properties of matter… Instinct is the minimum ability for idea construction necessary for physical survival… The present is the apparent point of any idea’s emergence into physical matter.


24seq. [personality fragments]

Increased concentration of the conscious individual is the trend. Then these split personality fragments or images can be kept under scrutiny without taxing the present ego to distraction. Now, what you would call the subconscious performs this task; not too well, since it was never meant to focus clear attention. Consciousness will expand within your plane. The scope of consciousness will be so broadened that all personality fragments, split personality images, and individual fragments in succeeding incarnations will be held in clear focus without strain. It is toward this that evolution is headed…


121

The objective world is the end result of inner action. You can indeed manipulate the objective world from within, for this is the means and definition of true manipulation…


Thoughts and images are formed into physical reality and become physical fact. They are propelled chemically. A thought IS energy. It begins to produce itself physically at the moment of its conception.


Mental enzymes are connected with the pineal gland. As you know them, body chemicals are physical, but they are the propellants of this thought-energy, containing all the codified data necessary for translating any thought or image into physical actuality. They cause the body to reproduce the inner image. They are sparks, so to speak, initiating the transformation.


Chemicals are released through the skin and pore systems, in an invisible but definite pseudophysical formation. The intensity of a thought or image largely determines the immediacy of its physical materialization. There is no object about you that you have not created. There is nothing about your own physical image that you have not made.


The initial thought or image exists within the mental enclosure [as explained in earlier sessions]. It is not yet physical. Then it is sparked into physical materialization by the mental enzymes.


This is the general procedure. All such images and thoughts are not completely materialized in your terms, however. The intensity may be too weak. The chemical reaction sparks certain electrical charges, some within the layers of the skin. There are radiations then through the skin to the exterior world, containing highly codified instructions and information.


The physical environment is as much a part of you, then, as your body. Your control over it is quite effective, for you create it as you create your fingertip… Objects are composed of the same pseudo-material that radiates outward from your own physical image, only the higher intensity mass is different. When it is built up enough, you recognize it as an object. At low intensity mass it is not apparent to you.


Every nerve and fiber within the body has an inner purpose that is not seen, and that serves to connect the inner self with physical reality, that allows the inner self to create physical reality. In one respect, the body and physical objects go flying out in all directions from the inner core of the whole self.


Nerve impulses travel outward from the body, invisibly along these nerve pathways in much the same manner that they travel within the body. The pathways are carriers of telepathic thoughts, impulses, and desires that travel outward from any given self, altering seemingly objective events.


In a very real manner, events or objects are actually focal points where highly charged psychic impulses are transformed into something that can be physically perceived; a breakthrough into matter. When such highly charged impulses intersect or coincide, matter is formed. The reality behind such an explosion into matter is independent of the matter itself. An identical or nearly identical pattern may reemerge “at any time” again and again, if the proper coordinates exist for activation.


In your system of reality you are learning what mental energy is, and how to use it. You do this by constantly transforming your thoughts and emotions into physical form. You are supposed to get a clear picture of your inner development by perceiving the exterior environment. What seems to be a perception, an objective concrete event independent from you, is instead the materialization of your own inner emotions, energy, and mental environment.


161seq.

You must watch the pictures that you paint with your imagination… …your environment and the conditions of your life at any given time are the direct result of your own inner expectations. You form physical materializations of these realities within your own mind.


If you imagine dire circumstances, ill health, or desperate loneliness, these will be automatically materialized, for these thoughts themselves bring about the conditions that will give them reality in physical terms. If you would have good health, then you must imagine this as vividly as in fear you imagine the opposite.


You create your own difficulties. This is true for each individual. The inner psychological state is projected outward, gaining physical reality – and this regardless of the nature of the psychological state….The rules apply to everyone. You can use them for your own benefit and change your own conditions once you realize what they are.


The Seth Material ch. 9 (Session 329)

Greater Self

If you sell yourselves short, you will say, ‘I am a physical organism and I live within the boundaries of my environment.’ If you do not sell yourselves short, you will say, ‘I am an individual. I form my physical environment. I change and make my world. I am free of space and time. I am part of All That Is. There is no place within me that creativity does not exist.’

Have Fun, Make Friends, Be Happy

by: Debbie Friedman


I always marvel at the way people shine when they break through a roadblock in their lives. It’s brilliant and it’s also incredibly attracting. There’s a sense of joy and freedom that is almost palpable.


Val is a great example. When she started in my workshop, she was feeling overwhelmed with financial and health lack issues. Never enough money, held back by life’s circumstances, and her physical body was challenged, to say the least.


As she began applying the tools to release her old beliefs, and saw the immediate responses from the Universe as she began to manifest, she became almost giddy, playful and childlike. She was having FUN!


I have found this is one of the most desirable states for manifesting in our lives. Pure, unadulterated joy and bliss as we allow ourselves to be happy!


At this vibration we are able to tap into and connect with the cosmic forces of creation in a way that is incredibly powerful. The response is automatic and immediate, continuing to delight us and allowing us to soar to even higher levels of consciousness and bliss!


She began to use the tools with confidence and certainty. She consciously chose to be happy and to have fun! Frustrated in trying to reach her chiropractor for an appointment, she used the process and received a call from their office 15 minutes later for an appointment 20 minutes later (unheard of in her experience!).


Calling stores all over and unable to find more invitations for her daughter’s wedding, she used the process and a store called her as soon as she’d finished to say they’d found some of them in stock!


This happens all the time. The miracles and the magic start to happen! One time an acquaintance called me for help. She had deleted a message on her machine from a woman who wanted to book her for a paid speaking engagement. She had no idea how to reach the woman, so we used the process to envision the woman calling her and the engagement being successfully booked.


The woman called her later in the day, apologized for not returning her call sooner (she’d never called her!), and even sent her an email to confirm her interest!!! The engagement was booked, successfully, and all went well.


Sometimes we forget to allow the Universe to take actions in our lives. Sometimes we forget to choose to be happy.


If we hold the belief that “it’s all up to us” or that we “have to do everything ourselves” we are turning our backs on the most powerful force in our lives.


When my son was younger, I sent him off to school with these wishes: “Have fun. Make friends. Be happy.” That was what I truly wished for him to experience. As I look at those words now I realize they were really quite wonderful!


How many of us are having an inner dialogue that is encouraging us to have an incredibly amazing day? How many of us are walking out our doors each morning with joyful anticipation of all the fun that lies ahead, almost as if we have the chance to enjoy an entire day at Disneyland ? How many of us are making the conscious choice to be happy?


Trust the Universe and ask for help. Give yourself the endorsements and encouragement you deserve. Everything you desire is already there for you.


Remember this is a vast, rich Universe that we live in, and there is a limitless supply of everything available to us all. Just open your arms wide and prepare to receive all that is already yours by Divine right.


And just for tomorrow as you leave your house or prepare to start work, hear my voice or the voice of someone you love saying: “HAVE FUN. MAKE FRIENDS. BE HAPPY.”


YOU deserve it!!!
