I am - therefore I think
Before we get into the actual mechanics behind thought-creation,
we're going to devote a chapter to the establishment of good consciousness.
Good consciousness is the constructive use of your thoughts. As your reality-creation
skills improve, so will your ability to affect the lives of those around you.
When your ability to affect the lives of others increases, good consciousness
becomes important, if not mandatory! Your thoughts not only influence your own life but have an influence over the lives of others. This influencing is noticeable, to some degree, in your life now. For example, how many times have you said, "I knew that was going to happen to them!" or "I had a feeling that might occur to him." Well, however shocking this idea will seem, in many of those precognitive instances, you helped create that event, at that very moment. How can this influencing of other people's fate be? You can't make things happen to others by mere thoughts? Right? Wrong!
Now,
this mirroring does not mean that your physical reality is devoid of all other aspects, other than what presently emanates from you. What this mirroring implies is that, generally, you will see what is within you manifest physically. If you looked hard enough, you would find the opposite, like hate and friction, as opposed to love and joy.
This discrepancy, in the mirroring-effect, from the internal to the external world, is due to your being part of a cooperative reality. In a cooperative reality, one person's mirror will reflect onto another person's mirror, to some degree. For example, the hate and friction you find in your reality of joy and love may be from someone else's mirror, not yours. This cooperative interaction of each other's mirrors helps keep you from falling into the trap of stagnation. You learn not only by your mistakes and merits, but by everyone else's mistakes and merits.
It is important to realize that beneath any physical event rides an infinite set of probable events. If these probable actions did not exist, you would not enjoy the freedom of choice you now have. In order to be able to choose, one must have choices. Now, these probable events are variations in the way a situation can occur. For example, will you choose the blue ball or the red ball. In the Probability Universe you have chosen them both. One probable version has you picking the red ball, while a second probable version has you picking the blue ball.
This narrowing of choices within the probability pool is especially true just several moments before the actual manifestation of the event. At these critical moments, probable versions of an event can get eliminated from the pool rather quickly. If you are not careful, your current view of a situation can severely limit your choices from the pool as well as influence the choices that another individual has to choose out of their own pool. This affecting of other people's probability pool is where this chapter concerns itself -- especially since your thought-power will be increasing in the near future!
As your thought-power rises, it becomes increasingly important for you to try to use your thought-power in a responsible way. However, using your thought-power responsibly goes beyond merely guarding against thinking negatively and thinking in the most positive way possible. To think responsibly, especially when your thoughts involve others, you must go one step beyond that dualistic kind of thinking. You must think smartly!
Now, thinking smartly, you would notice that your colleague seems tired from applying himself too vigorously and is showing signs of fatigue. You would then, perhaps, picture your colleague being refreshed and feeling renewed. Then, let your colleague decide what is best. He may decide to materialize that illness, just to get that rest; or he could go away for the weekend instead, renewing himself with a different kind of revitalization.
The important thing to note, in this example of thinking smartly, is that you are not counteracting probabilities concerning your coworker's needs. By thinking smartly, you will help your colleague to materialize a better situation for himself. Instead of limiting the amount of choices, within the probability pool, you have enlarged the selection. Perhaps that probable version, of going away for the weekend, would not have entered your coworker's probability pool, had you not envisioned your friend feeling refreshed and rested. In fact, that rest may be the repose that enables your colleague to perform better than he ever has.
Now, let's move from the concept of thinking smartly to the sister concept of thinking globally. Thinking globally, in a smart way, can be the most difficult area to handle responsibly; nonetheless, it is important to be just as thought-aware here as you are any other place.
In a conscious way, thinking smartly and globally is a play on words; however, unconsciously it is much more. Without getting into great detail here (for we will cover the ways your unconscious mind operates in later sections of this book), your unconscious mind is notorious for taking strict interpretations from your conscious mind. The phrase, "That guy is a bad decision maker!" will be interpreted by your unconscious mind that this person is incapable of making a good decision. Your creative-power will try to create that situation for you, in any way possible. If that creating means limiting the probability pool of that individual, so that he can conform to that image, then that is what your unconscious mind will try to do. Your thought-power will move outward and cast a shadow on that other person's mirror. However because, in this instance, we're talking about a person with whom you have little or no contact, that shadow which is cast, will probably be negligible. Except, if enough people cast that same shadow on that same individual, then the effect will be anything but negligible and will probably be damaging.
So you see, thinking smartly and globally pays off in many respects. You will benefit, your friends will benefit, and even the world will benefit. Whenever your thoughts involve others, it is important that those thoughts allow others to experience their own personal freedoms -- freedoms all of us need and want. When you allow another person the right to choose his own path, while guiding and helping that person toward the best of probable actions, you are helping that person to transform into the best that person can be. That change begins on an individual level with each and every person's thoughts.
Important Points from this Chapter:
- Your thoughts not only influence your own life but the lives of others.
- Physical reality will mirror back at you your thoughts in what you perceive, feel, and experience.
- There will always be a discrepancy in your thoughts and your created reality. This discrepancy is caused by the impact of other people's reality onto yours.
- There is an infinite number of probable events that lie beneath any one manifested event. You determine which event will manifest.
- Out of an infinite number of events, a finite number of events are selected and go into a probability pool. It is from this pool that the one manifested event is selected. The events that go into this selection pool are determined by you, your reality creating skills, and others' thoughts impacting your reality.
- Thinking smartly involves not limiting the probability pool of other people with any speculations, especially if those speculations are negative.
- Thinking globally means not limiting the probability pool of world leaders and using only the most constructive thoughts when directing your attention to them.
In the next chapter you will learn exactly how your thoughts manifest into reality. Then we're going to give you a powerful exercise for your daily reality-creating. Get ready! You are one step away from becoming a Thought-Creator.

If done correctly, you will learn some amazing things about how your thought patterns create the reality you see around you. Furthermore, these notes will help alert you to areas of your life where you need to govern your thoughts more carefully.
Chapter 2 / The Power of Thought and its Responsibility
Worksheet Page
Instructions: Spend the next several days examining the contents of your
mind. Here's a way you can do that. Set an alarm watch or clock to go off periodically
during the course of your day -- four times a day will be sufficient. When the
alarm sounds, take a moment and stop to examine what you are thinking about.
Jot down this thought. Now continue on with your day. Do this record-keeping
for four days. At the end of the fourth day, take out your list and look at
what you have written. Examine the thoughts you have listed. Mark off whether
they adhere to the proper guidelines of thinking smartly or globally. If not,
try to transform that line of thinking into one that is more responsible. (NS
