Everything Begins in MIND
First cause is invisible. As such, every problem (as well as every blessing) has its cause in the invisible.
Go to the Root
If we wanna get free, in order to fix a problem and heal our lives, we have to go to the root or the cause and fix the cause. If we want weeds out of our garden, we need to pull them up from the root. All else is just a band-aid. It’s a quick fix like sweeping dirt under the carpet, but it never really solves the problem; therefore the true problem never really goes away. It just becomes more tolerable for the moment.
For instance, when doctors remove cancerous cells, they are trying to remove the cause of the sick condition, and if they are successful, then in a sense, yes, they are removing the cause - the physical cause. But although they may heal the person for the moment, in many cases, we hear that the condition comes back again later. Why? Because they have not removed the root cause, which is energetic.
Similarly when someone, a co-worker, boss or relationship partner causes us much distress - I mean they are just a thorn in our side - and we resent them, sure we can leave the job or leave them in search of calmer waters, and sometimes this may be necessary. But many people often find that the new job, which was supposed to be the answer, or the new mate who was “so perfect”, eventually begins to reflect the same types of issues back to them.
So until the actual root cause of the problem within is resolved or removed, all we have done was change the form (and perhaps intensity) in which the problem manifests, to one that may be more tolerable for a while.
First Cause
Everything begins in the mind.
“In the beginning was the word. And the word was with God, and the word was God.” (John 1:1)
And we know that God is spirit. So the word is spirit. If we could just stop right there… Wow!
God (first cause) created from Him/Her/Itself, for there was none else. God created from the Spirit of God’s Mind. What is in the mind? Thought. What a is thought? A pre-verbal word. An unspoken, un-manifested WORD. The spirit of God “moved” (was active) upon the face of the waters (the deep substance from which things are formed), and then “said” (spoke forth the form of the things of his/her/its mind). (Genesis 1:1-3)
(I say that water is the substance from which things are formed [or brought "into formation"] because the continents rose up out of the deep water, and because it is a known fact that our bodies are made up mostly of water.)
Anyway, God’s spirit moved, or was “moved” - that’s thought energy in motion, and he spoke according to what he believed/felt. When he “affirmed” what he believed and felt, in so doing, he brought it forth, and all that he said, became so. We are made in the likeness of God. We are infinite Spirit, apparently trapped, so to speak, in finite bodies. So too, does our consciousness create.
Thoughts are Things
Thoughts are things. They are the energy behind things. Our emotions are the result of our interpretations of what we think, or how we perceive, how we think about things - what we believe about things.
E-motion is energy in motion. The atom is a unit of energy. We know that everything has a chemical composition comprised of different molecular configurations, and whatever the nature of a thing, it can be manifested in solid (ice), liquid (water), or gaseous (vapor) forms. But energy begins in the formless and hardens into form. Even so, energy begins with our beliefs and thoughts, moves through emotions and hardens into the manifestations of the events of our lives.
God is Love. Life is perfect, harmonious, abundant, creative, productive energy. Each thought is a lens through which this energy passes and is interpreted. Thoughts pass to and fro. They permeate the “atom”-sphere. If we catch a thought, and dwell on the thought, and feel something about the thought, we are giving motion to the energy of that thought. We are having e-motions or energy in motion within ourselves.
Beliefs Determine Experiences
We are catching passing thoughts and activating them within our own experience of life. We don’t even necessarily have to dwell on thoughts to give them entrance into our lives. Some beliefs are embedded deep in our consciousness, have been there since childhood, and are subconsciously running our lives. It’s subtle, but to be sure what we believe on whatever level, we will manifest (on whatever level or to whatever degree). And if we dwell on something, it is magnified.
Have you ever felt someone’s presence? When some people come around you, have you felt a depressing atmosphere? Then when other people enter a room or speak, there’s this heightened atmosphere, or they seem to possess a “glow”? That’s the effect of their energy in motion creating their aura or their “atom”-sphere.
Our deeply-held beliefs (conscious or otherwise) determine the thoughts that we think, and therefore the emotions that we feel and embody in every form of our lives and affairs. One person experiences something one way; another has a completely different view and therefore experience of the same event. Our experience of our lives and affairs has to come from somewhere. We attract what we think about and/or believe. Can our experience truly come from anywhere but somewhere inside of us? We are the only constant everywhere we go.
“…The curse causeless shall not come.” (Proverbs 26:2)
So when we have out-of-order or mal(bad)-functioning beliefs and therefore faulty thoughts and negative emotions (some repressed) running around in our subconscious minds, Read more »
