I
have to share with you some wonderful news that is the result of using the very
creative process that I have been telling you about. I’m so excited because one
of my dreams has come true. It was a dream that started when I was a child when
my mother and aunts would tell me, my siblings and cousins about our Native
American heritage, but no details such as the name of the tribe and where they
were located. Back in the sixties every African American
would claim a Cherokee grandmother or grandfather. In my teens, I decided to
find our lost heritage. It became one of my dreams.
As
the years passed, I would work on the family history interviewing family
members, traveling to Virginia,
the family place of origin, and storing bits and pieces of information
away in a notebook. The notebook grew. I always believed that one day I would
find out the truth; and even though years would pass. I never gave up the search in my mind. Then
something or someone would come along, and I would start again with as much
passion as I had in my earlier years.
I
do believe that The Creator sends you the right person to guide you to the next
step on the path, then like an angel he or she is gone. The visualization, the
passion, the perseverance, the faith and belief, all the things I have written
about to make dreams come true all paid off for me this snowy weekend. I had discovered the lost heritage months
ago, but it didn’t become real to me until I did what writers do, but pen to
paper. Surrounded by one huge notebook full of documents, census reports,
photos and newspaper clippings, I could connect all the dots (many years of
research) and compose a document for my family that will be something tangible
for them to have forever and pass down to the next generation.
Dreams do come true!
Reading
over Dr. Bailes’ quote in the previous blog, I decided to repeat the last part
of his statement, because it is the nuts and bolts of building a health
consciousness: Thus, the person whose
thought life is characterized by destructive thoughts, with its fears, hates,
grudges, envying; with its discussion of, and absorption in, sickness and
sadness, is thus creating a thought-pattern which the ceaseless creative
activity of Mind fabricates into disease forms, quite impersonally, but none
the less certainly. Our privilege is to take definite steps to change that
underlying thought-pattern into one of health, love, peace, happiness.
The
first step is an awareness of your thought-patterns, understanding that they create
your reality. We discussed that concept in the previous blogs, and I used the
example of me attracting asthma because of my thought of feeling overwhelmed
and restricted in getting tasks done. The asthma made me take time-outs to
rest. Second, you have to know what you desire, or what you want the outcome to
be. And that brings me to the third
step--The Creative Process, which teaches you how to control your thoughts to manifest what you desire in life. Let's take a look at the basic application:
The Creative
Process
(1)
Align your mind with the Universal Mind
of the Master Builder or Creator, who created the body and therefore, knows how
to heal it.
(2)
By means of your conscious mind select
thoughts of good health, peace, love and faith. We are like a magnet
attracting positive and negative energy to us. (Law of Attraction). This is the
thought I now think constantly: I am healthy and balance. I have plenty of energy and time to get
everything I need done.
Repeating
a positive affirmation will not get rid of the dis-ease. However, it will keep
you focused on the right thoughts and in alignment with the universal laws. I
once read how Myrtle Fillmore the co-founder of Unity, a church in the New
Thought Movement, healed herself of Tuberculosis by repeating affirmations
thousands of times. Mrs. Fillmore, a
truth student, knew that the Creative Process operates on the principle of the
laws. She built a health consciousness, by staying away from negative thoughts
and emotions and flooding her mind with positive affirmations.
(3)
The sub-conscious mind acts on the
habitual thought pattern selected by the conscious mind (Principle of Mind). Thoughts that
you habitually think become your belief system, causing your sub-conscious mind
to act by manifesting according to your beliefs. No matter what the outer
appearance of the physical condition, think positive thoughts of the body being
perfect.
The spoken word is also very powerful. Every time you say, “I’m sick, I don’t feel well, or I have this
disease.” You’re affirming that condition, and it will continue to be
manifested in your life. That’s just how the laws work. . Visualization is a powerful tool to help you create
the reality that you want. See yourself healthy and doing the things you want
to do in life.
The
book, The Secret, is based on the Creative Process. If you want to know more
about this process to use it to create a Wealth Consciousness, I recommend that
you read Wallace Wattles’ book, The Science
of Getting Rich and my free eBook, PathtoTruth.
