Experience is the product of the mind, the spirit, conscious thoughts and feelings, and unconscious thoughts and feelings. These together form the reality that we know. We are hardly at the mercy of reality, therefore, that exists apart from ourselves, or is thrust upon us. We are so intimately connected with the physical events composing our life experiences that we often can’t distinguish between seemingly material occurrences and the thoughts, expectations and desires that gave them birth.
If there are strongly negative characteristics present in your most intimate thoughts , if these actually form bars between us and a more full life, still we often look through the bars, not seeing them. Until they are recognized they are impediments. Even obstacles have a reason for being. If they are our own, then it’s up to us to recognize them and discover the circumstances behind their existence.
Our conscious thoughts can be great clues in uncovering such obstructions. We’re not very familiar with our own thoughts as we think. They can escape from us like water through our fingers, carrying with them vital nutrients that spread across the landscape of our psyche—and all too often carrying sludge and mud that clog up the channels of experience and creativity.
An examination of our conscious thoughts will tell us much about the state of our inner mind, our intentions and expectations, and will often lead us to a direct confrontation with challenges and problems. Our thoughts, studied, will let us see where we are going. They point clearly to the nature of physical events. What exists physically exists first in thought and feeling. There is no other rule.
We have the conscious mind for a good reason. We’re not at the mercy of unconscious drives unless we consciously acquiesce to them. Our present feelings and expectations can always be used to check our progress. If we don’t like our experience, then we must change the nature of our conscious thoughts and expectations. We must alter the kind of messages that we are sending through our thoughts to our own bodies, to friends and associates.
Each thought has a result. The same kind of thoughts, habitually repeated, will seem to have more or less permanent effect. If we like the effect then we seldom examine the thought. If we find ourselves assailed by physical difficulties, however, we begin to wonder what is wrong.
Sometimes we blame others, our own background, or a previous life—if we accept reincarnation. We may hold god or the devil responsible, or we may simply say, “That’s life,” and accept the negative experience as a necessary part of our life.
