The Nature of Life:
Both matter and energy are formed out of a primal substance that is not a particle, matter or energy. This primal substance can be called lifeforce, fundamental energy, base substance, prime existence, God, or anything else that means the source of all existence in the universe. For the benefit of simplicity, we will refer to this primal substance as lifeforce throughout this discussion.
The entire universe is permeated by this lifeforce; and where this primal substance ends is the limit of the perceivable universe. Lifeforce is a medium, like a relatively motionless fluid without mass; but we can detect its presence by observing the effect it has on particles. Lifeforce imposes an upper speed limit on electromagnetic radiations. Dark energy and gravity also display effects we can observe in space-time.
From these observations, it appears that this incarnation has only been in existence for around 13.7 billion years. Every particle and sub-particle we have observed appears to spin rapidly in some direction. When these particles travel through space in straight lines, they are recognized as energy. When the particles tightly orbit another particle or particles, they form atoms of matter.
Every physical atom, and every particle, is the result of, and is defined by, an exact pattern created by thought. Thought apparently has an effect on the direction of spin, and thereby manipulates the particle by altering its vibration. The belief that thought is what manipulates lifeforce is based on the observation that we are only animated and grow while we are “alive” and capable of thinking. This is about as basic as it gets.
How it Applies to Us:
Since mankind’s mind is capable of drawing together thought forms, it is capable of creating. Therefore, mankind’s ability to clothe his mind with physical atoms by direct mental precipitation is how we have bodies to live in. When we “die,” our mind (the collection of our thoughts,) leaves the body which decays through entropy. This observation suggests that we have more direct control over ourselves and our environments than most of us realize.
Every human being can form mental patterns. This ability, combined with a conscious effort to build upon previous patterns in our everyday world, with an expectation to accomplish our goals, may be referred to as “precipitation.” The more clearly we define our goals and the more intensely we feel our desired outcome, the more rapidly and accurately the physical manifestation of that thought can be precipitated into being.
Most of us go through life never suspecting the tremendous power of the natural resource built into us. The mind, which interfaces with our body through our brain, is the seat of our thoughts. This powerful tool, when used properly, can bring the good things of life into our reality. This line of reasoning suggests that prosperity, health and happiness, the traditional markers of success, can be ours if we discipline our thoughts. Whatever we need, we can make a part of our lives as if by magic, precisely the way we expect it to be.
Is Something Wrong?
Those of us that go through life without a clear plan, accepting whatever comes our way, often feel that life is not fair, that we are being taken advantage of, or that we will never get what we want. Without a clear focus, we will not attract and utilize the elements that can bring our dreams into physical reality. Our experiences may not proceed in an orderly fashion, and the things we wish for may not be realized at all.
Under these conditions, our subconscious mind usually calls the shots based on whatever negative programming we may have inadvertently stuck in there by expecting undesirable results. When concepts like, “It always turns out that way!” or “I always anticipate the worst!” or “I don’t feel lucky!” are constantly repeated in our mind, our subconscious mind thinks that is what we need, and works toward that goal by manifesting these uncomfortable background emotions as a reality for us. It can seem like a life of chaos.
On the other hand, when we focus clearly on a specific outcome and how we will feel when it is accomplished, a pattern is created that attracts, gathers, and utilizes the resources around us necessary to make our desires a physical reality. This is how the Law of Precipitation works.
Repetitive focus on any desire has the effect of attracting the attention of others with similar interests. There appears to be a sympathetic vibration, or a tuning in mentally, that can bring people together who can accomplish different aspects of any given idea. We can use someone else’s help with some of the challenges we face, and find that we can do almost anything when we work together while applying vigorous attention to a solution.
When new discoveries are made, they often pop up in several places throughout the world… and often seemingly independent of each other. Yet how could that be. And why wasn’t the useful idea made many years earlier? Those ideas surely would have been helpful earlier; but if they had already existed, what else in life would also have been changed? But then, that is a hypothetical question for another day, like the chicken and the egg.
Back on topic; an undesirable aspect of precipitation is that negative thoughts precipitate more easily than positive ones due to the reinforcement we get from others, and the fact that we tend to hide them from others to avoid embarrassment – which motivates us to dwell on them more than we should. Our worries and fears can be dissipated by releasing them, by not expecting them to manifest. That can be done by journaling the concern, realizing that it is only hypothetical, and positively reinforcing the preferred results with the feeling of relief we expect to feel when everything goes well; or by finding the source of our negative thoughts and replacing them with a positive twist, then again feel the relief we expect to feel when everything goes well. For example, replacing a worry that someone won’t like us with a desire for that other person to feel liked, and then pre-feel the friendship in advance, will almost always make both feel comfortable around each other.
The other catch to this is that we have to believe the results we want are the ones we will get. Although we have heard that many times before, we often misinterpret just what that means. To really believe in something means to know it to be true, not to want it to be true. The difference between knowing and wanting is a degree of doubt. When we doubt it, we don’t really believe it! In fact, doubting is actively believing that it is not… which automatically creates the negative, and prevents us from feeling that what we want is possible.
Making it Personal!
When this principle is internalized, we can begin to purposefully rearrange our lives, making them much more in line with our desires. This means that through the power of precipitation, we can modify our environment and eventually bring it into a state entirely to our liking. Our every thought influences the universe in some way. The ideas we habitually focus on, and our actual philosophy – the way we feel about life, constantly reinforces our beliefs, good or bad, by precipitating their features into our personal reality.
So if our life’s circumstances are not yet fully conforming to our liking, remember that our surroundings are almost an exact reflection of our attitudes. Who and what we attract… are replicas of our real fears and aspirations, the ones we really feel.
Is our environment chaotic, scary, dark, depressing? If so, we precipitated, mentally attracted, and gravitated to such conditions. No one else is truly to blame. We are the master of what thoughts pass through our minds. When we stop engaging in demoralizing behavior that erodes our self-esteem and produces negative emotional feelings, we give our positive and empowering self-image a chance to grow. When we refuse to continue drawing negative aspects of life to ourselves, and instead think and feel entirely uplifting thoughts, our life changes for the better.
We can control our destinies by physically removing ourselves from a physical environment that drags us down. It is okay to leave toxic people behind who repeatedly leave us angry, sick and afraid as a result of their unhealthy behavior. When they are ready to move on, they will themselves embrace a similar path in the pursuit of happiness. But they must do so for themselves – no one can live another’s life for them… after all, we are responsible for our own lives and should not be focused upon someone else’s.
When a negative thought enters our mind, we are not to pursue it or dwell upon it, for that gives it power. Our own bad habits can sabotage us in this way. Instead, we must dismiss that negative thought and determinedly replace it with visions of all that is good and wonderful, and reinforce those visions with their associated emotions. To become our better selves, it is imperative that we all make this change an unwavering good habit no matter how fiercely we have to will it into being. By practicing the virtues we admire, and enjoying how good it makes us feel when we do, we can refine the technique needed to hold to our resolutions.
Moving Forward:
Everyone has heard the saying, “Birds of a feather flock together.” This is a common example of how this principle has been affecting all of our lives, whether we were aware of it or not. Reach out for love, for beauty, for health, for happiness, and for financial comfort. It will find us! In this way we can control our life’s condition. Whatever we dwell upon and hold in our heart will eventually become our physical reality.
Seek out and make friends with others who have learned how to control their lives. Spend more time with those who simply leave us feeling good. Hang out with others who have learned to make their emotions serve them in uplifting ways. By creating a better life for ourselves, we also create a better life for those around us, and a foundation upon which our children can build their lives to a higher level yet. In this way we can serve each other and help to make this world a better place.
