| To illustrate, let's begin with an example of how | | | | Kingdom, that we choose how our lives unfold. If |

| started thinking thoughts of needing to eat less | | | | on preventing illness by eating healthy food and |
| candy and desserts. You found yourself rating | | | | exercising. We also become more open to telling |
| how some friends or family members looked | | | | our family every day how much we love them |

| As an adult, you've struggled with your weight, | | | | die young. Were we thinking this way before? No, |
| trying diet after diet with limited success. And all | | | | but we are now. So our energy identities and |

| being overweight. These similar thoughts are | | | | changes in our thought patterns. |
| magnetically attracted to each other, building | | | | What is more significant, however, is how often |
| thought forms such as "I'm too fat," "I eat too | | | | we are determined to change only to find our old |

| Thoughts of every type have created thought | | | | year or the prior years? Why are there so many |

| tiny and some huge, with many in between, | | | | aids, a myriad of solutions for depression, |
| depending on the degree of thought put into | | | | insomnia, etc? Why are there so many self-help |

| quote, the invisible envelope (energy field) around | | | | deep desire to change, we predictably find |

| energy identities call home, is the Thought Form | | | | little lasting forward movement. This does not feel |

| magnetically attracting similar thoughts from many | | | | Thought forms are what carry the impact of |
| sources, thereby building and strengthening all of | | | | what you will outwardly manifest. This is not a |
| our thought forms. They create all the altered | | | | process that will be reached through affirmations |
| realities that live with us in our Thought Form | | | | or through consciously speaking words. For the |
| Body. | | | | process of thought forms is one that goes very, |
| Suspending disbelief for a minute, let's take this a | | | | very deep. Thought forms are carried from |
| few steps further by looking at how our mind | | | | lifetime to lifetime so that the buildup of these |
| works. Do we tend to think more positively or | | | | "altered realities" is very intense and very |
| negatively as we go throughout our day? Most of | | | | powerful. |
| you know the answer to this already. | | | | What exactly is the Law of Attraction? It seems |
| For example, if we wake up feeling good, having | | | | to be the basis of many metaphysical self-help |
| had a good night's sleep, we might think, "Oh, I | | | | books (including The Secret) and even has its |
| feel great today! I have so much energy; I'm sure | | | | place in some religious teachings. Simply stated, it |
| this will be a good day." And then we go on our | | | | posits that thoughts are energy and are magnetic |
| way and may never think of it again. Despite | | | | in nature. They attract to you situations and |
| feeling really good, we actually tend to spend little | | | | people that match your predominant thoughts, |
| time thinking about it. Feeling good helps us focus | | | | whether conscious or unconscious. The bottom |
| on the things we have to accomplish that day, | | | | line, therefore, is like attracts like. The more |
| resulting in thoughts geared toward those | | | | positively you think, the more positive your life will |
| activities other than the state of feeling good. | | | | be. Every individual is responsible for what they |
| But what happens if we sleep poorly and wake up | | | | bring into their lives. Is there more to it than this? |
| with a backache, headache, or stiff neck? Don't | | | | Yes. |
| we often express a litany of complaints about it | | | | There needs to be more than positive thought to |

| deliveryman comes by and politely asks, "How are | | | | are people who have changed their thoughts from |

| likely just say, "Fine, and you?" But if our neck still | | | | good into their lives than before. But what does it |
| hurts, we say, "Well, since you asked, I am having | | | | mean for those of us who didn't find success by |

| The tendency to dwell on the negative outweighs | | | | than the others who did? What about those who |

| This means that when we look at the balance or | | | | unexpected) or that it was only the first step in a |

| attract our own thoughts but all similar thoughts | | | | change the Law. They explain how it works. And |
| from many sources, including other people. This is | | | | there are two misconceptions that need to be |
| not a conscious act any more than an actual | | | | cleared up. The first one is that a positive thought |
| magnet consciously attracts. What is the result of | | | | does not negate or replace a negative thought. It |
| all this attraction? | | | | only empowers the positive energy identities while |
| The result of magnetic attraction is that the | | | | the negative ones remain to also magnetically |
| energy identities (and the altered realities they | | | | attract negative situations, conditions and people |
| create) continue to build in strength. At the point | | | | into our lives. Because we harbor so much more |
| that they're strong enough, they manifest into our | | | | of the negative, the positives we empower |
| physical reality. In fact, their sole purpose is to | | | | through our thoughts are still extremely weak |
| manifest. The manifestation process from all of | | | | compared to the powerful negatives. |
| our energy identities is what forms our outer | | | | The second misconception is that even if you |
| expression or, in other words, our lives. | | | | never think a negative thought ever again, it |
| For example, if it is cold and rainy outside, we | | | | doesn't mean that the negative energy identities |
| may think throughout the day that we have to | | | | go away. Once created, the thought energy |
| keep warm and dry so we don't get sick. We see | | | | exists forever. Leaving those negative altered |
| ads on TV about various cold remedies, which | | | | realities in place is what makes it so difficult for us |
| remind us to check what we have on hand just in | | | | to change. Whether negative or positive, the |
| case. We remember the time last year when we | | | | energy remains in place in our etheric bodies as |
| got the worst cold ever and had to miss work. | | | | thought forms and habit imprints. When these are |
| Flu season is here and we plan to get a flu shot. | | | | positive, we can rejoice. When they are negative, |
| We believe that all schools are breeding grounds | | | | we are concerned with what we do about them. |
| for illnesses and have no patience for parents | | | | What we must do is to neutralize the negative |
| who send their children to school with a cold. We | | | | energies to render them harmless and incapable |
| also believe that we are susceptible to every | | | | of magnetically attracting anything that could hurt |
| germ with which we come in contact. In this way, | | | | us. Neutralizing the negatives and using that |
| we are empowering our illness thought form (one | | | | energy to empower our light is the key to |
| that we already have) over and over again. And | | | | change. Again, the Higher Selves didn't change the |

| prevent it, we come down with a massive cold | | | | functions. |
| two weeks later and blame it on the time we | | | | The Shift From Victim to Taking Charge |

| In fact, getting sick was a result of the altered | | | | Kingdom, and that we are making both conscious |
| reality of illness gaining enough strength to | | | | and unconscious choices that create our |

| to volunteer to read to your child's pre-school | | | | goes from blaming someone, something or some |
| class. This then triggered and empowered your | | | | event for our problem/s to looking at ourselves |
