The formula of physical creation…Thought precedes all matter and matter precedes all form.

Everything in the physical realm was first a thought before a thing. The computer you are on was first a thought, a concept, so is the chair you are sitting on, the cup that holds your drink, the clothes you are wearing etc. There isn’t one thing in the physical realm which was not a thought before a thing. Thoughts are things. For the God believers (myself included) the earth and sun were summonsed into existance by the word of God. And of course thought precedes all spoken word. Thoughts given enough energy and concentration become things. What is in between thoughts and things is matter. Matter is the physical substance of which physical objects are made.

Paul writes he likes to contemplate that place where thoughts become matter. I am not so sure it is a place rather than a space. It cannot be seen but felt. I think the thought and then a feeling of knowingness comes at the moment of manifestation. As I have evolved in the process of creating things in my life through meditation, I have come to sense & know before I can even physically see the thing, tangible or not, that it has arrived. This sense is a feeling of “Its here! or I’ve got it!” For me that is the space where thoughts become matter and then shortly after I can see, taste, touch, smell and feel it.

Once we realize the power of our thoughts to become matter and form, we must be careful of what we entertain in our minds as it will show up in our lives. The more a person meditates the more magnetic they become and the quicker thoughts become matter into form. I cannot tell you how often for me a fleeting or passing thought manifests in my life. Most of it is fantastic but some is unwanted. As I keep a watch guard on my internal dialog, my life flows with ease. I no longer need to chase what I desire. It finds me.

Much of what people have attracted in their lives is unconscious. Our power comes when we shape our life and destiny with conscious choices using the witness in our thinking.

Like attracts Like
Opposites Repel
Become the thing itself and it is yours!

Nothing like the experience of reading a hard copy book. The process of turning the pages and making dog ears to mark my favorite pages I want to refer to again. The texture of the grade of paper used, some is glossy soft and others thick and marbled tantalizing the skin. The smell of freshly printed ink that wafts in my face as I fan the pages creating a breeze that tickles my nose, or the slight musty or dusty smell of a really old but classic book that reminds me of the distant past. Then the art of the book jacket giving it a face which I recognize as a friend each time I pick it up for a read and an internal chat and the site of it on my bookshelf or bedside lets me know its there for me anytime. I cherish my books more than any possession I own.

I cannot image missing all of this for a piece of cheap plastic, Kindle…

In answer to your contemplation suggestions, try contemplating/meditating on where ‘thought’ meets ‘no thought’ and see what you find.

Or take it to the edge of manifestation… Delish!

As for those who are confused. I so -feel- and know your confusion. It is a paradigm shift for this industrialized culture to grasp inner consciousness… your ego does not and will not let you go there easily. For awareness means the death of ego and ego puts up a good fight.

The basics IMHO we humans are self-governing entities — just like ‘seeds’ that keep the naturally occurring side of life regenerating itself. Though our role in that process is a bit more complex, because we have the ability to think, and therefore control our direction of growth, whereas all the creations follow controlled cycles (garden variety), or instinctual (animals, ect.). But we humans, are blessed with the ‘Creator’s seed,’ as our natural birthright — the ability to govern our expression of Self.
How that works is actually very simple to understand, if we use computer theory as an analogy. For the human mind operates very similar to a computers hard-drive, and the ‘software’ represents the programming/conditioning we receive from external sources like parents, teachers, religion, the environment, karma etc which is utilized by the operating-system of the hard-drive, but remains separate from it.

So the ‘software’ actually represents our identity-structure, which can be seen as a multi- layered program of personality traits & conditioned patterns which we wear to the world as a mask or cloak. This cloak/mask is directly related to the level of ‘understanding’ that we have achieved through our acquisition of knowledge. For we are what we condition ourselves to think we are. But, it is only by living what we believe, that a level of ‘being’ (frequency) is brought into manifestation. Many people say one thing, and do another, and this inconsistent behavior-pattern never lets them establish an identity that can sustain itself. So they end up wander-ing (wondering) aimlessly, always searching for stability in their life, never realizing that they have deprived themselves of it by their inability to become a living representation of their beliefs.

Seeds, are condensed versions of their creator, that rely on certain growing conditions being available in order to nurture their re-creation cycle. An ‘acorn’ for example, contains within it the potential to recreate the kind of Oak tree that spawned it, and we have the SAME potential within us, to recreate our creator.

The Divine plan, as I understand it, is that each seed inherits from it’s creator all of the characteristics of Divine, in the form of a series of progressive steps or ripening, that lead to the creator being recreated. Just as all the things in Nature are locked into the endless cycle of regeneration, according to it’s particular species. We humans have a two-fold process in progress all the time, one being our physical body, and the other our consciousness. This ‘consciousness,’ actually is the integrated intelligence of all the expressed values of self on all levels of being.

The plant kingdom, experiences stages of development akin to each one’s own particular kind, as do all instinctual beings such as animals, birds, and fish. We humans follow that same kind of developmental process when it relates to our physical body, as we progress through stages of infancy, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. But the Divine plan for our spiritual evolution depends almost entirely upon our choices in life. Because, we were given as our birthright from our Creator, a level of understanding that remains hidden within our memory, until we acquire the kind of knowledge that re-awakens that level of understanding.

I hopes this help.

Thank you PMG, for sharing your awakened thoughts… Keep up the energizing work.

Blessings, Love & Light,

Thought, what do you mean?
Thought: I’m thinking about how to type the next word, how I should be off to bed instead of typing this word, how I’m not sure what is meant here with the word thought and how my good night tea smells real good

Thought becoming matter gets some SiFi feel when it is just thought as I describe above. I see Star Trek and Jean Luc Picard talking to a wall: “Earl Gray, hot” and a nice cup of tea appears.

I’m sure this is not what is meant, but what is meant with the word thought and what is involved in the process of thought becoming matter? If not the thought “let there be tea” then what?

Thought does not make tea grow; thought does not build boats or write books, hard work does. Does hard work involve thought? Sure, but is this what is meant with “were thought becomes matter”?

So I sit on my safu and watch the zebra’s and artichokes for a while, contemplating thought and matter, vibrations and sound. I should be in the place now were thought becomes matter and were vibration becomes sound. I look around and I listen, nothing but the fast expanding of awareness, every now and then bumping into unresolved connections, dusted over peephole into who I really am and the smallest grocery list ever “Tea” but no Einstein or algebra coming to my aid. Then a thought pops up about what is thought: “does it really matter?”

I get up and bow to my safu and I feel a familiar grin on my face.

I remain forever learning

i can’t quite follow. are you talking about the old adage of, ‘opposites attract,’ or do you mean, ‘like and like’? both carry a grain of truth, but both are very different.

you are different from me. that’s how we can extablish our identities. you are, what i am not and vice versa. whatever personal property you take, i am sure i can find something that doesn’t match with the understanding i have of myself.

so, where do we take it from here then with the mirror images? mirror as in reflecting the same (like and like) — or mirrored as in the reverse (opposites)? and would we have to communicate about the differences or the similarities? aren’t they selfevident and need no communication?

i am just guessing here because you open up so many gaps with this entry. it’s difficult to fill them all in. perhaps you mean by communication that we would have to meet somewhere in the middle and negotiate what we perceive as similarities — only to find out they are actually differences. my understanding of ‘freedom’ is probably different from your understanding of ‘freedom’. are we communicating then about freedom itself, the differences or the shared thoughts?

communication, when you look at it like that, appears all of a sudden so terribly difficult.

no wonder we always get it wrong.

Best wishes.

Not drowning; but waving whilst heading to shore for a little reflection.

PS. Apologies if you felt I repeated your point. The sad truth is that the instant an equation crosses its path, my brain makes an immediate break for the nearest available exit. I’ve tried having words, and have even threatened it with buying a copy of ‘Quantum Mechanics for Dummies’, but it remains stubbornly entrenched on that particular front!
