 You will now learn how the emotional guidance system will spur the process of turning your thoughts into reality. The emotional guidance system is an illustration which helps you understand what you are thinking and consequently, feeling strongly about. You know that thoughts cause feelings, right? Read the headlines on the papers and if you saturate yourself with articles reporting about terrorist activities, genocide, hate crimes, poor political will or government inefficiencies, you will feel depressed, angry and desperate. On the other hand, if you surround yourself with good news like astounding human interest stories, inspiring real-life tales and amazing feats or discoveries, you will be upbeat, projecting a certain glow sure to be noticed by people around you. What the emotional guidance system does is to classify your feelings into two categories: the good and the bad. Good feelings include hope, belief, abundance, prosperity, passion, love, enthusiasm and joy. The bad feelings, on the other hand, are comprised of despair, pessimism, fear, guilt, jealousy, hatred, anger and shame. Knowing your feelings will help you act in a way that is in alignment with your desired goal. In the case above of the good and bad newspaper articles, what do you think should be done? Of course, this doesn’t mean that you have to disregard the negative news and focus solely on the good news. What you should do is to celebrate the worthy write-ups and spread them to other people. Like a pebble being tossed into a pond, this will create a ripple effect and many lives will be blessed with the knowledge of such good and wonderful news. For the bad news, consider taking positive action. Instead of lamenting about the war on terrorism, support peace campaigns. Enjoin others to participate in inter-faith dialogues to promote harmonious coexistence. Encourage your friends and relatives to attend interracial meetings to break down the barrier of animosity and suspicion. Do not allow stereotypes to hinder you from reaching your goals. Break it down with the power of visualization and positive gestures. Always find ways to be in or around a positive force. If possible, be the source of positive feelings yourself. Start a gratitude journal. At the end of the day, list all the things that you are thankful for, no matter how trivial they may seem. If somebody offered you a cup of coffee in the workplace, or a friend dropped by unexpectedly just to say hi, or a neighbor volunteered to take your beloved Dalmatian for a walk, be grateful. You do not need earth-shattering miracles to jolt you into a thanksgiving mode. Little acts of kindness are what really matters. You can also help out at a local charity. Leading a fund-raising committee, helping out at a local soup kitchen, putting your hobbies to good use – all these contribute to the attraction of positive vibrations towards you. Do good. The universe merely corresponds to the nature of your inner feelings. Always remember this: What you think, what you feel and what manifests are always a match. Life can be absolutely phenomenal, and it should be. |
