Why Your Ego Is Preventing You From Getting What You Really Want

Once you understand the fundamentals of the law of attraction, and get the basic concept that your thoughts carry a vibrational frequency that is attracting like frequencies, it is sometimes easy to get carried away in trying to force things to happen through your thoughts. You become obsessed thinking about something in an effort to make it happen. And then the thing you want most continues to elude you. What's going on here? If I desire something strongly, and the Universe is responding to my thoughts, then why am I not getting what I'm thinking about?

There is a difference between leveraging your thoughts, and paying attention to your emotions (which are always an accurate indicator of your vibration), and trying to force things to happen through your mind.

Pantangali, and other great yogic mystics, have described the process of creation through four basic elements: ego, mind, body, and soul. Your soul (or the non-physical part of self that is connected to all Energy) is what coordinates all the cooperative components of your experience. It is what does the creating, and the assembling of synchronous events, people, and circumstances.

The mind, ego, and body do not create. They are simply tools to help you decipher what you want. The mind can only observe, categorize, and collect evidence from the reality it is faced with, and use this information to formulate the desire for a change, or new reality. But it cannot make that desire come to fruition. Similarly, the ego can perpetuate the desire and make it stronger. And the body can use its senses to experience the current reality. But it cannot create a new one. So how does it all fit together?

To put in into the vernacular, you understand it when you get that both of the following statements are simultaneously true:

God helps those who help themselves.

Let go and let God.

You are the creator of your own reality- through your deciphering of the contrast in your environment, your ego and mind come to new conclusions and new desires. The key is to then release these new intentions and desires to the Universe (or your higher Self), and ALLOW their creation and manifestation into your experience. Letting go of your desire and releasing attachment from the outcome is a key aspect of manifestation that many people miss.

Sometimes hyper-focusing on what you want is detrimental, because you are still vibrating the lack of it, so your vibrational frequency is not really shifting. The Universe cannot give you what you want if you are not a vibrational match to it. When you take your mind and ego out of the equation, you get out of your own way. You have to practice setting forth an intention, letting go of it, and then trusting that the Universe will float it gently into your experience.

Creating Perfect Health

"Every cell in your body has a direct relationship with Creative Life Force, and each cell is independently responding. When you feel joy, all the circuits are open and the Life Force or God Force can be fully received. When you feel guilt or blame or fear or anger, the circuits are hindered and the Life Force cannot flow as effectively. Physical experience is about monitoring those circuits and keeping them as open as possible. The cells know what to do. They are summoning the Energy." - Abraham Hicks

The relationship between emotional state and physical health has been well-established. We have long known that happier people tend to have stronger immune systems, people with strong social support systems live longer, and stress is a cardiac risk factor. But scientists and physicians alike have barely scratched the surface of these interesting phenomenon - all we have right now are statistics and anecdotal correlations.

The fact is, words like "stress" and "happiness" and "Energy" scare most researchers. They are abstract and hard to quantify. Happiness is not an accepted measurement of anything in clinical trials; it is too vague, too subjective, and veers into unknown territory; the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and health seems to befuddle even the best of us.

But the above examples of the relationship between your thoughts and the effect they have on your physical body are hard to ignore. And when you understand the concept of quantum health, they are not as difficult to understand. Every cell in your body is responding to an energy vibration. Energy comes in the form of either negative or positive thoughts, which cause a negative or positive emotional response. A chronic negative emotional state will be read by the cells as toxic - even if you are not recognizing chronic negative emotions such as anxiety, frustration, anger, or hate, your body is feeling the energy vibration from them.

Over time, there is a negative physical manifestation to correlate with the chronic vibration. If you haven't been paying attention to the way you feel for years, you might be surprised and say, "Well I've never thought about a heart attack before. Or I didn't even know about that kind of cancer. So I don't know how I could have created that myself." But the cells of your body, that maintain an exquisite equilibrium, are responding perfectly to your vibration, no exceptions.

The good news is that they also have the infinite intelligence to go back to perfect equilibrium; what keeps them in dis-ease is your continued pattern of negative thought. If you figure out what is bothering you and eliminate those stressors from your life, and turn your thoughts away from your illness, you will go a long way in getting out of your body's ability to heal itself.

What Is Leveraging Thought?

So we are moving to a new server. Same concept, different name - check out the work in progress at http://www.leveragingthought.com/. Because applying the Law of Attraction goes beyond just physical health and applies to all areas of your life, I wanted to expand the site from quantum health to understand how to leverage thought (and energy) in general (hence the new name).

There will still be a focus on health and wellness, though, given my background as a physician. Anyway, here is more on the concept of leveraging thought - enjoy and stay tuned for the almost complete new site!!

Thoughts are a form of energy. Energy is, at its root core, vibration. Everything is made of atoms, which can be broken down into individual quarks, which are basically vibrating units of energy. That isn't spiritual ideology - it's just pure physics. In fact, everything around us is made up of this energy - including light, sound, and physical matter. All energy vibrates at different frequencies, and the energy of your thoughts creates a literal vibrational force field around you, that attracts similar energy and physical circumstances, people, places, and events to you at all times. You are literally creating your own reality through the power of your thoughts, intentions, and emotions (which are simply an indicator of your vibration). Emotions of love, joy, passion, and enthusiasm vibrate with high frequency and attract similar circumstances. That's what the Law of Attraction is all about. Emotions such as hate, jealousy, anger, depression take you lower and lower on the vibrational scale of emotions, and then attract more of the same negative energy into your life. The energy of everyone's thoughts, then, comprises the Universal mind (or God, the Universe, Energy, Christ consciousness, Inner Self, Soul, whatever). The Universe (or God) is constantly coordinating everything in your favor in ways that your conscious mind cannot understand. The goal is to align your thoughts, feelings, and actions in a way that gets into the flow of this universal, life-giving energy stream. And that's goal of this site as well: to help you align with the greater part of yourself, to help you understand the actual process by which thoughts become things, and to show you, step-by-step, how to harnass and leverage the power of your thoughts.
