How The Creative Process Works

The release of the film “The Secret” in 2006 caused worldwide interest in the Law of Attraction. It states that everything one wants or needs may be accomplished by believing that one will receive that outcome, by repeatedly thinking about it, and maintaining positive emotional states to “attract” it.

Simplistically everything comes to us by the most elemental law of physics – LIKES  ATTRACTS! This means that when you put an idea out into the universe, people, places and things come into your life to fulfill that idea.

 When we think, we actually cause things to happen.
This is still not the full recipe for the manifestation and achievement of results. Thinking is very important but only part of the process.

In my opinion life results are far too complex to explain in a short article like this, but I want to make a point regarding the achievement of results. After viewing the “The Secret” many people thought that the days of hard work and problems on earth came to an end at last! 

It is almost as if you are going to reach the golden pot at the end of the rainbow. Unfortunately many folks were extremely disappointed. They did put in all the right thinking and felt emotionally very positive about the outcome, however the results were poor.

  After a while most of them decided this whole story promised by the law of attraction is a lot of hogwash. So what went wrong? Are some people just lucky or chosen? In reality it has nothing to do with your personality, your religious beliefs, being a “good” or a “bad” person or anything else. Understanding The Creative Process, Dr Robert Anthony in his book “Beyond Positive Thinking” explains the process very clearly. 

To flow with life, we want to create from the model of Being-Doing-Having.

Being →  Doing →  Having. You must be very clear about this.

Most people think the equation is Having → Being → Doing.

They first want the money and resources, then “being” (feel good) and then they will start doing. 

Unfortunately this is not the way in which you will produce results. Let us take a simple example. If you don’t have a network of friends and associates but would like to develop one, you should first be a person whom others want to have as a friend and be associated with. If you are now composed and likable you can take action to approach new friends and associates. 

Your action will most likely yield results in you having new friends and associates. The universe flows from being into doing into having. Being is an inner experience – it comes from within you. You can allow outer circumstances to determine your state of Being – your level of happiness or satisfaction – but you run the very real risk of those outer circumstances controlling your life and how you feel about yourself.

 “I’ll be happy when (e.g. your event) I have enough money”. Then you will never be happy.

Suppose you think a new job will change your life. Eventually you get a new job and pretty soon it’s the same old stuff you have to deal with.  A new mate, a new home, having a baby, or making more money will not change your life. Eventually you get all those things, and still you are not happy.

The Starting Point of Success, Your unlimited power lies in your ability to control your thoughts. A confused mind works in the direction of sickness, poverty, lack and limitation, rather than in the direction of abundance, health and success. 

Your intention sets the universe in motion. 

The universe flows in the direction of your intention, and so it is important to be clear on your exact intention (what you want to achieve) in any situation. If you are absolutely clear as to your intent, your subconscious success mechanism will support you in getting there.

Waiting Is a Trap

Why are we waiting to be healthy, to be happy, to be alive, to be wealthy, to start a new business, to fall in love, to communicate, to clear up the relationships we are in? Waiting is a trap. 

We wait for interest rates to go down, for the economy to get better, for a person to change, for the holiday to pass before starting a diet. There will always be a reason to wait. Stay safe.
