the power of thought…

I’ve had a theory about thoughts and intention that has been brewing around in my little noggin lately.  It has been building slowly, accumulating from snippets of religion, quantum physics, and the writings of Don Miguel Ruiz & Eckhart Tolle.  Toss in a little sprig of personal experience and we’ve got a whole tree forming in there.

So basically it goes from the idea that thoughts affect reality. Our thoughts have power.  Our intention has power.  You can feel it most specifically in churches where people’s thoughts & intentions are focused on a common belief and purpose.  There’s a tangible feeling present at times – an electricity or a vibration that permeates the space.

Some people call our focused intention a prayer, meditation, even spells or blessings.  But the result is the same – focused intent and thoughts towards a specific goal or purpose. Now, if you add in the idea in quantum physics that an object exists partially because it is observed – that the will of the observer to see the object actually affects the reality of its existance …. means that we help to create our world.

So, we create our world through collective consciousness.  And that’s where my brain starts cartwheeling.  How much do we influence creation?  We affect other people with such ease that it has become unconscious.  Can you make a person feel an emotion? Yes and no – I can project my thoughts and intentions and you can pick up on them & have an emotional or physical response …. but I can’t specifically control what that response will be.  If I learn to read you, I can change my ‘tactics’ and learn what intentions and thoughts produce which response in you.  Most of the time, this is an unconscious – or partially conscious process (called manipulation). But what if we moved into the realm of using this knowledge and ‘power’ intentionally? 

We do it every day when we send people love and healing. 

Going to keep pondering this a bit more. I believe there’s more bouncing around in my head about this topic, but for now, I wanted to get the preliminary thoughts out.
