Science and Metaphysics agree. The essence of all things
is vibration. Science reveals that everything in the manifest
universe is ultimately composed of packets of energy; quantized
units vibrating at specific frequencies. Esoteric wisdom reveals
that in the beginning, all things were created through sound
(i.e. vibration); whether it be the "OM" of Eastern
mysticism or the "Word"/Logos of Western spirituality.
Our thoughts, feelings and actions also have their own particular
rates of vibration. These vibrations will set up resonance with
whatever possesses identical frequency. In other words, your
thoughts are inseparably connected to the rest of the universe.
This is why it is so essential to be a close observer of yourself.
As you think, feel and act, so you create the primary vibration
of your being. This fundamental vibration then creates resonance
with identical vibration frequencies in the universe. The result
is an attraction of circumstances, people, challenges and opportunities
in exact vibrational resonance with your own dominant vibration
frequency.
This principle lies at the heart of visualization techniques,
affirmations and the whole personal development movement. When
you visualize and repeat affirmations, you are helping to tune
your very being to a specific vibrational frequency on the inner
planes. Once that task is achieved, your mind comes into vibrational
resonance with the object of your desires. Being now of the same
frequency, this object (or goal) is inevitably attracted into
your life.
However, for such methods to work, it does imply that you have
changed your core vibration. This is very often the problem AND
explanation as to why such techniques seem to fail for so many
people. Over the course of many years, your inner conditioning
is
created from the habitual thoughts, feelings and actions that
you engage in. This forms your self-image and creates the level
of self-esteem you feel. It shapes the way you conceptualize
the world you live in, as well as the way you respond to it.
It is how you interpret your life experiences.
If a person simply mouths affirmations or writes goals out, without
having touched the deep bedrock of their long-term conditioning,
such activities will not have much effect. This is because the
dominant vibration has not changed. You cannot go against what
your self-image, and your predominant conditioning, say you are.
Thought is where it all begins. As your conscious mind dwells
habitually on thoughts of a certain quality, these become firmly
imbedded within the subconscious mind. They become the dominant
vibration. This dominant vibration sets up a resonance with other
similar vibrations and draws them into your life. This is easier
to understand if you consider that from the metaphysical view,
the whole universe IS MIND.
Hence, to draw what you wish into your life, you should begin
with the mind, and make it your primary focus. Most people do
things the other way around, and come up with practical techniques
to generate their desires, and then go out and try them. However,
when these methods are not in tune with your dominant vibration,
then you will have great difficulty making the desired results
come to pass. You will also feel most uncomfortable if they do.
You have trained your mind in a certain way, you have set the
thermostat at a certain level, and now you are trying to exceed
the limits you have set upon yourself by sheer force.
The trap most people fall into is that they condition their future
with expectations from their past. It's like driving with your
eyes fixed on the rear view mirror the whole time. You cannot
see where you are going because you are too busy looking back
on past history. Is it any wonder that, for most people, the
future DOES closely resemble the past?!
The problem is that, by focusing continually on what you
have become as a result of past conditioning, you guarantee that
you draw this same dominant vibration into the future. This is
also why your desired future can seem so far away from you. It
is vibrating at an alien frequency and hence, in a real sense,
it IS very far away.
Instead, you have to first change the dominant vibration within.
Once your dominant vibration is in harmony with what you seek,
the latter must literally be "attracted" to you without
excessive striving! It will seem easy in comparison to what came
before. In a very real sense, you have to become what you seek
on the inside before you can ever have it in physical reality.
There are several ways to gradually change the dominant vibration
of your inner being, and begin to resonantly attract what you
seek. One important thing to do is to have a clear vision of
your life as you want it to be; completely independent of the
circumstances of your present or past. Lack of absolute clarity
about their desired future could well be the number one reason
why people fail in life.
You are creating something new from the universal intelligence,
and drawing it into your reality. You do NOT have to base this
upon the past, your perceived weaknesses, or anything else that
derives from your limited self-image.
A good way to gain clarity is to write down in detail the attainment
of what you seek. What would it look like? How would you feel
if you achieved it? What difference would it make to your life?
It may take you days, or even weeks, to create this vision, but
it is time well spent.
By creating a vision of your desired state and putting energy
into it regularly, you use mind power to shape the very stuff
of creation. You create this imagined "reality" in
your mind to the point where your subconscious actually believes
it to be physical reality and goes about making it so. It will
attract the circumstances, the people, and the opportunities
you need to bring about the vision you have created.
If you are doubtful about this, consider for a moment that you
are doing this anyway. The only difference is that you may be
unaware you are doing it. If so, your overall vibration is ncoherent,
and hence your results fluctuate wildly. By becoming conscious,
you take conscious control of the creative process and can learn
to manifest at will.
Another way to change your vibration rate is to act "as
if". If you had already attained what you seek, how would
you think and act? Well, start thinking and acting that way right
now. Again, this helps to impress the dominant vibration you
choose upon your subconscious mind. Again, you have been doing
this all your life anyway. Simply take conscious deliberate control
of the process from now on. For instance, Cary Grant is known
to have said:
"I acted like Cary Grant for so long, I became him."
Taking time to meditate regularly on the truth that all is vibration,
seeing this reality in all is myriad guises, will also help reinforce
it upon your mind - both conscious and subconscious. You will
begin to believe it, and what you believe is what you act upon.
The reason most people achieve very little in comparison to what
they are capable of is because they have no vision for the future
whatsoever. Focused, single-minded concentration upon a vision
you seek to create is what will actually cause it to happen.
You have to read your description every day (preferably twice
or more), and then vividly imagine it. Begin to live that reality
now in your mind's eye, and you make its future manifestation
all the more rapid. Do not even worry about how it will happen.
Just do your part and let the universe, through the law of vibration,
do the rest.
