Thought and Feeling: Necessary Siamese Twins

 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.  John 15:5

  In your time of ignorance and imperfect realization of your own power of Thought, you created negative forms and thought life into them. You created forms of death, sickness, sorrow, trouble and limitation and then you thought life into them. These forms became your circumstances.

   However nonexistent these forms were in themselves, to you they became realities that shadowed your otherwise clear path and caused you difficulties that limited your ability to be, do, and have more of the abundant life.

   Now that you know better, you must stop giving the negative an affirmative force which does not belong to it. Think: the negative is not-being, the absence of all that constitutes being. Left to itself, it remains in its own nothingness. The negative only assumes form and activity when you give these to it by your own Thought.

   This is the quintessential reason why you must control your Thought. It is the only instrument you have that works with the greatest certainty of the outcome—whether limitation, if you think limitation, or expansion, if you think expansion.

   Your Thought, transmuted into feeling, is the only magnet that can attract the conditions and circumstances you desire. Thought is a created thing, but Thought translated into feeling is a greater and more powerful thing.

   Your greatest challenge is to think unrestricted by your current circumstances. This does not mean ignoring your situation, but it does mean exercising your Thought beyond the bounds and limitations of your present circumstances.

   Think from your center where there are no boundaries or limitations. Think from Unity and Oneness with the All-Originating Spirit of God, and from the light—the mystery of Jesus—within you.

   You have the power to determine what your circumstances will be by simply speaking and affirming your desire. Once you have done this, you can rest assured that whatever must happen to make your desire manifest will happen. As the scripture says: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit says the LORD.” (Zechariah 4:6)

   When you give Thought to your desired circumstances, do not limit your Thought to specifics, but think more broadly. For example, rather than think about a specific house in a specific location that you want, think of houses in general that have the amenities and external locations that appeal to you.

   Think life in all its fullness, together with the perfect blend of conditions which include health, wealth, and a multitude of other good things.

   Think illumination, harmony, prosperity, joy, peace, happiness and love. Think the things and not this or that specific condition of them. By Universal Law, these things will form themselves into the shapes which best suit you.
