Thought & Sound – The Power to Create

I was corresponding with a dear friend about manifestation last week.  She mentioned that she had been asking the Universe for abundance.  And, suddenly, a multitude of information collected over the past year, came flooding into my head: You can’t “ask” for abundance.  Well, I guess, technically, you can…..but it’s ultimately much more productive to expect abundance.

I remembered from personal experience, however, that at the very time when you feel you most need abundance, it is awfully hard to expect it – much less feel it. It seems like the worst sort of “Catch – 22” situation.

Eager to pass on helpful words to my friend, as opposed to simply saying something “nice,” I tried to remember exactly how I had handled this sort of situation in the past.

Then it dawned on me….that whilst it can be a real challenge to control how you feel, it is very easy to control what you say and what you write. If you say something enough, or write it enough, then you will eventually have authentic feelings surrounding the very things that you have written or said. This is the act of creation.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

“And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”

Whilst the inner feeling and belief of abundance (expecting it) is most powerful, speaking or writing it in the form of the word, can be the first creative step in achieving the feeling or belief that can sometimes seem so elusive.

At times when I have felt least abundant, I have literally made a list (and subsequently read that list aloud) of the things that I would – or maybe “should” is the better word – classify as things of abundance. Sometimes, it takes looking at the rest of the world to get that list started.

I am grateful for food.

I am grateful for clean water.

I am grateful for shelter.

And then the list progresses to the not-so-basic….

I am grateful for my health.

I am grateful for parents who love me unconditionally.

I am grateful for musical ability.

I’m not feeling so abundant-less now, and the list expands…

I am grateful for the opportunity to have traveled.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have taken the past year to devote to a time of self-inquiry.

I am grateful for my new awareness of my connection to the Spirit world.

And with an increased feeling of abundance, I expand even further to that which I desire….

I am grateful for the successful completion of my CD.

I am grateful for the successful completion of my book.

I am grateful for my successful and expanding career as a Spiritual Counsellor, Psychic Artist, Musician, & Writer.

Asking for abundance implies a lack of abundance.  Speaking or writing about your abundance, implies that you already have it, thus attracting more abundance your way.

We all have the ability to create unlimited amounts of abundance – or whatever else we wish for our lives – simply by thinking it, writing it, and then speaking it.

think it – write it – say it (repeatedly) – believe it – create it

We’re all familiar with the famous Descartes quote, “I think, therefore I am.” Descartes, of course, is referring to his own existence.  Because he thinks at all, provides proof that he exists.

But I think we can take that one step further.

I think it, therefore it is.

I think abundance, therefore it is abundance.

I think abundance for myself, therefore I am abundant.

Choose love,
