our thoughts are real "energy." positive thinking

[john_1234]

I saw a program last night on the Animal Planet Channel that was very interesting. I have even more confidence in the self-help programs like the following: Brian Tracy's "The Psychology of Achievement," Anthony Robbin's "Awaken the Giant Within," and Napolean Hill's "Think and Grow Rich." These programs stress the importance of positive thinking... visualizing yourself to be the person you want to become. When I first started self-help positive thinking, I was skeptical. But the self-help programs and positive thinking really improved my life.

I forgot the exact title of the show, but it was something like "The Ten Biggest Myths about Animals." Anyway, a study of the mind's thoughts was performed. A machine generated random numbers and people were instructed to try and influence the outcome of the numbers using ONLY their thoughts. Another machine appeared to be a small remote control car toy. This gizmo would turn right, left, go straight, etc. the gizmo had a built-in computer chip that generated random commands to go in whatever direction. People were instructed to try and control the direction of the gizmo using ONLY their thoughts.

Now here's where it gets interesting... humans were actually able to influence the outcome of the random numbers and random directions using ONLY their thoughts! Although it was a subtle influence, there was a change nonetheless. The people who were behind the study had no explanation how this could have been done. Remember that one Indian guy with the hat and glasses in David D's "Body Language" DVD's? He explained how thoughts are actual "energy." I even used one of his techniques to "conquer a negative thought" and it worked extremely well for me.

Although positive thinking & self-help has helped me, in the back of my mind I'd have this feeling telling me that I'm just fooling myself. When that Indian guy explained how thoughts were actual "energy," I thought it was really far-fetched. But after watching last night's program on how thoughts alone can influence a computer's randomly generated numbers, this **** is for real! If our thoughts can influence the outcome of a computer, imagine how powerful our thoughts can be when influencing ourselves!

This is very interesting to me...

Could you post his technique for conquering negative thoughts?

this will be hard to explain in words. you have to see this guy actually explaining it with his body and words...

this technique is what helped me get through a stressful incident that happened in my life. for almost a year after the incident occured, the incident continued to creep back up in my mind and negative thoughts would generate in my head. when you use this technique, it actually breaks the cycle of negative thinking. it worked wonders for me.

when you have a negative thought... for instance, you start thinking about something that has happened in the past and it makes you feel negative... you know that feeling you get? maybe you just approached a girl and got rejected... let's use that feeling as an example

1) close your eyes and focus on the feeling. for instance, does it feel like a knot in the stomach?

2) visualize the negative energy within your body. what color does that negative energy turn into? visualize all that energy travelling to your eyeballs, right behind your eyelids.

3) position your hands directly in front of your eyes (while your eyes are still closed w/ the negative energy lounging just behind your eyelids), the palms of your hands facing you.

4) now when you open your eyes, visualize all that negative energy shooting out of your eyes like "wooooooofff" (in the movies, you've seen scenes where people are in airplanes i'm sure; and then someone fires a gun or whatever, a window breaks or the door breaks open, and a person immediately shoots out of the plane like "wwoooooff" due to the pressure) the negative energy is shot into the palms of your hands; you then immediately blow that energy away and say "be gone"

like i said earlier, the Indian guy explains it really well using his body language so it was hard to put it in words. Indian guy said that he used this technique numerous times for suicide intervention with teens. Trust me, this technique really works

Electricity is also energy. Let's see what happens if I put an electric cable to this book here ... no, it isn't moving.

There was this old woman talking about zone therapy: your footsoles, she says, have crosspoints where energy flows from all parts of your body. Pointing to one spot: "This here is your spine." Another: "This is your neck." By pressing these, you would cure what ails you.
Now, even if there would be "energy" from different body parts flowing through the soles of your feet, what good would it do to press your soles? It would be like: "Hmm, something is wrong with my computer. Maybe if I press the cable leading electricity to the processor, that oughtta do it. And my car is broken down, I better put some pressure on the battery."

The point is, just because something is called energy doesn't mean it is a solution.

'And THE PHANTOM MENACE has taken the box-office by "FORCE"! This comes as no surprise to anybody with average brains! Now when I mentioned the "Force," it was not to be funny. In fact, I bring it up because the very nature of the Force is that which is at the heart of those bastards who gave the movie poor reviews.

'What we all have to understand is, the "Force" is not some fictional concept. It exists. The one thing which holds every living thing on this planet. The balance to our every movement. Have you ever asked yourself "What is this FORCE?"'

although our thoughts may not be the solution, our thoughts are VERY powerful; that was the main point. if you think positive, you'll become more positive and vise versa

It's a pseudo-scientific term called micropsychokinesis - the changing of probability through thought. Supposidely some people can control other things like dice rolls also.

Self visualization and self confidence is a totally different (and more scientifically backed) animal.

True indeed, our thoughts are words (even if "Said" unconsciously), and words have feelings anchored on them.


You'd feel better if someone said "love" or "kiss"


than say... "fvck".


It's an extreme example, but that's part of how it works I believe.



So positive thoughts = positive feelings (eventually) which = positive EVERYTHING.
