A human being can be said to inhabit two universes – the exterior physical universe which is experienced via the physical senses, and the interior universe which is experienced via the mind and imaginative faculties. Understanding that you as an individual inhabit two universes and not just one is important, because trying to bring about change in the physical universe without first bringing about the same change in your interior universe is extremely difficult, if not impossible.
Your interior universe is your primary domain as a spiritual being, and it serves as a pattern upon which your external experience is built. Furthermore, if your interior universe and the exterior universe are ever in conflict, it is always the interior state that will win out.
For example, if you are perfectly at home in your interior universe and you enjoy a feeling of calm, tranquillity and being at cause over life, those feelings will be part of your external experience even if the outer environment is full of challenges and deadlines.
Of course, the opposite is also true, and if you lack confidence and peace in your own interior universe then you will lack the experience of confidence and peace externally even if the situations in the environment are conducive to confidence and peace.
When you recognise that your interior universe effectively shapes the experience that you have in the external world, it is immediately apparent that if you want to create good things in your external reality you first need to create good things in your interior universe.
Most popular Law of Attraction techniques such as creative visualization and affirmations work because they gradually bring about positive changes in your interior universe, thereby allowing you to experience similar changes externally. Unfortunately, most popular techniques don’t create change in the interior universe as effectively as they would if interior creation were their primary purpose.
Whilst creative visualization, affirmation and so on are excellent tools, it can often be even more effective to take more direct and deliberate control of your interior universe and focus fully on making it exactly as you would want your external universe to be. By taking that approach you get to experience immediate results in your interior universe and your outer-world experience will quite naturally fall into line in due course.
To start with, you could landscape your interior universe so that you really enjoy spending time there. In a previous article we have discussed how to create an inner temple, and the process here is much the same. The big difference is that instead of creating a single temple you create the entire inner landscape of your interior universe. How large you make this interior universe, and the form it takes, is up to you. The important thing is to make sure that it accurately reflects the kind of experience that you want to have in the exterior universe.
For example, if you want to live in a large house in the countryside and enjoy a high level of financial abundance, glowing health and complete peace of mind, you could create all of that in your interior universe. You could create your ideal home in great detail, create the specific amount of financial abundance that you want, give your interior universe body the health and vitality you want, and so on.
Or maybe you want to experience a greater level of self-confidence in the exterior universe, as well as more peace of mind. In that case you would create more self-confidence and peace of mind for yourself in your interior universe, in whatever way appeals to you.
Whatever your exterior universe goals, creating them first in your interior universe will make it far easier for you to experience them externally. Spend as much time landscaping your interior universe in whatever way you see fit, then get into the habit of enjoying it on a daily basis. You might like to set aside thirty minutes a day to close your eyes and enjoy the reality of your interior universe, or perhaps you would prefer to go there when you close your eyes to sleep at night. Your personal routine is not important – what is important is that you enjoy your interior universe, and create whatever experiences you desire there, on a daily basis.
As far as your interior universe is concerned, you are the sole Creator, and you have free reign to create what you will. You can create a brand new world or a continent almost as easily as you can create a modest garden sanctuary, so allow yourself to be as inventive as you like. Just remember, the experiences that you create in your interior universe serve as a blueprint for the experiences that you will have in the exterior universe, so always be sure to create good things!
We previously promised an announcement that would be well worth waiting for, and here it is: Create Good Things has today launched The Seven Dollar Miracle, a brand new e-book that is designed to help the largest possible number of people to develop a mastery of the miraculous and work in harmony with the universe as co-creators.
The Seven Dollar Miracle has its very own web site at www.sevendollarmiracle.com and we encourage anyone who is interested in demonstrating their spiritual power in their own lives to pay a visit and read all about it. In the meantime, we are happy to provide you with an introductory overview right here…
The Seven Dollar Miracle is an instantly downloadable e-book of over 33,000 words presented in ten chapters. It is designed as a 21st century guide to working miracles and explains how the ancients used a precise step-by-step formula to work miracles in their lives… and how you can do the same!
And where does the ‘seven dollars’ reference fit into all of this? Well, as we said in our previous post, we wanted to create a product that would be accessible to the greatest number of people, so rather than price this book to make a profit, we set the lowest viable ‘token’ price that would enable us to cover our overheads. That token price is just $7, so now anyone can benefit from this information for less than the cost of a modest lunch at a fast food restaurant!
The Seven Dollar Miracle quotes from a variety of ancient scriptures, but it is not in any way a religious work, nor does it require you to have any specific world view. Our aim in creating The Seven Dollar Miracle was to present a powerful, step-by-step guide to mastering the miraculous in the same way that the ancient masters did, and when you study and use the material yourself you will be using the exact same principles and techniques that have been used for millennia.
Many people think that the Law of Attraction is a new idea, and various individuals and groups are currently trying to establish that they were the first to come up with it. But the Law of Attraction is only the modern name for a universal principle which is in fact timeless, and the ancient texts refer to it repeatedly, albeit in a sometimes carefully disguised way. By taking the reader right back to the original concepts of working miracles, as revealed in the ancient texts, The Seven Dollar Miracle delivers a genuine and authentic approach that is as effective as it is timeless.
Visit www.sevendollarmiracle.com to read more about this brand new title and please do spread the word as far and wide as you can. With the world throwing so many challenges at people it is becoming increasingly important for individuals to learn how to master the miraculous in their lives and work with the universe as deliberate creators. The Seven Dollar Miracle reveals exactly how to do that, and when you are in that position of confidence and power it really doesn’t matter what the world throws at you – you will be able to create good things regardless!
Create Good Things was selected as the name for this blog because it focuses on sharing hints, tips, techniques and strategies that can help you to create good things in your life on a deliberate basis. The key word in that last sentence is ‘deliberate’, because the fact is that we are all creating the reality that we experience in every passing moment. The big difference between people is that some are aware of that fact and seek to participate more fully in a process of deliberate creation whilst others are unaware of the role that they play in shaping their own reality and therefore have no choice but to continue with a process of unconscious creation.
Understanding that we are all creating our realities all of the time allows us to see that we already have everything we need to create reality. We don’t need to try and obtain any more power or ability than we already have within us. If anything is lacking in our lives, it is only a proper understanding of our massive potential and the skill required to make the most of that potential in a conscious and deliberate way. And those are the things that Create Good Things aims to provide.
In a few weeks time Create Good Things will be making a very special announcement that will benefit anyone who wants to be more at cause over life. We can’t provide any specific details about the announcement at this stage, but we can tell you that it will revolutionise the life of anyone who has a desire to create reality in a more deliberate and conscious way. That’s a fairly big claim to make, we know, but when you see the announcement that will be made in March, we think it is one with which everyone reading these words will agree with.
We are providing advance notice of this special announcement for two reasons. First, we want to make sure that all existing readers of Create Good Things keep a close eye on this site so that they don’t miss it (subscribing to our RSS feed might be helpful here). Second, we want to give you all a chance to invite your friends, colleagues and anyone else who you think might be interested to visit Create Good Things so that they too can benefit from the new development just as soon as it is announced.
The world is going through some tough times right now, and those who are trapped on a path of unconscious creation often feel as if they are being blown around this way and that by life’s circumstances. It is our hope that the announcement soon to be made here at Create Good Things will enable everyone who desires it to escape that trap of perceived powerlessness and set themselves on the much more causative and fulfilling path of deliberate creation. Stay tuned for the announcement in March!
Life on earth is like a dream. Birth is the moment when the dream begins, and physical death is the awakening. The time in-between – the dream of life – is totally under your control, whether you believe it to be so or not.
Let’s talk about dreams a little, because this is a metaphor which can be very useful.
When you are dreaming, anything can happen. You can be rich or poor, old or young, thin or fat. You can experience anything and everything. You can date celebrities, dine on the world’s most exotic foods, enjoy unlimited financial wealth and even fly through the air like a bird. On the other hand, you could be the victim of a bug-eyed monster, be chased by giant insects or wrestle with crocodiles in a sewer.
The dream is created by you, and no-one else. What you experience in the dream is determined by your frame of mind, your beliefs and your expectations. If, during a dream where you are flying, you suddenly realise that it is ‘impossible’ to fly, you would soon come down to earth with a crash! If, on the other hand, you believe that flight is natural, you would continue to soar until the dream came to an end.
So it is with the physical life, which is but an extended dream of around seventy years – sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. What you experience here in this dream is governed solely by your frame of mind, your beliefs and your expectations. If you think you need to work hard and long in order to make money, then that is what you will be forced to do. If, on the other hand, you believe that money comes to you automatically, then it will!
We realise that this sounds a little simplistic, but it is an essential truth. As a man thinketh, so he is. What your mind can conceive and believe, your mind can achieve. Ask, and you shall receive. These are all ways of saying the same thing:
Limitations in life are created by limitations in the way you think.
Do away with mental limitations and your life can be anything you want it to be!
Of course, breaking through the barrier of mental limitations is not easy. If it were then everyone would be doing it automatically, and there would be no need for a website such as this.
Breaking free from limitations may mean that you have to discard something that you were brought up to believe as being ultimate truth. For example, if you were brought up to believe that your way of thinking was the only correct way of thinking, you will need to get rid of this idea so that you can truly appreciate the customs, beliefs and essences of other people. This is by no means easy, but if you go with the flow and discard everything except that which you know intuitively, your life will become altogether simpler and more enjoyable. Life will lose any nightmarish quality and will instead become a wonderful, exhilarating dream.
So where does all of this talk about life and death and dreams bring us? Well, let us summarise the principles that have arisen from our discussion in this series:
- Our physical lives are finite. Death is inevitable, but not to be feared. Death is a gateway – a gateway home to the place where you truly belong.
- Because our physical lives are finite, we should make sure that we use every minute wisely. We should, when the time comes, be able to greet death with a smile and say, ‘I have accomplished and experienced all that I wanted to accomplish and experience. I am ready to go home now.’
- Our life experiences are determined by our beliefs and expectations. Just as a dream is created solely through our own consciousness, so are the experiences of our physical lives.
These principles form the cornerstone of all forms of advanced spiritual knowledge, and so it should come as no surprise that we here at Create Good Things view them as being vitally important.
Changing The Dream
You visited Create Good Things because you want to change some aspect – or perhaps a few aspects – of the dream we call physical life. You want to enjoy a greater level of material success and prosperity, or you want to experience a better level of health, or you want to improve your relationships, or you simply want to increase your spiritual knowledge and power.
All of this is perfectly possible. All you need to do is recognise that change comes from within, and that you hold the key to your own success. We can show you different ways of turning that key, as it were, but it is you who must actually turn it. Just as you must follow a recipe in order to make a cake, so you must apply what you read here at Create Good Things if you actually want to get tangible results.
With that new understanding in mind, why not visit our Archive page and explore the information that we have made freely available for your benefit? Diligently apply what you learn and you will be able to start changing the dream of life as you desire.
Last time we discovered how Life and Death are intimately linked, and we said that it is very important for us to live life to the full. If you don’t know what it means to squeeze every ounce of living out of your life, set some time aside to carry out the following exercise:
The Last Day
Imagine that you knew you were going to die in exactly 24 hours. Let that scenario sink in, then ask yourself the following questions…
- What would you do in the next 24 hours that you hadn’t previously planned to do?
- What plans have you already made for the next 24 hours that you would now cancel?
- Which people would you make every effort to spend time with?
- What specific things would you say to these people which you wouldn’t otherwise have said?
Once you have answered these questions, you will soon realise whether or not you are living life to the full.
If you are then you probably wouldn’t do anything different over the next 24 hours – you would continue with your present plans and see the people you have arranged to see.
If you are not living life to the full, however, the chances are that you would totally rearrange the next 24 hours so that you can ditch the trivial plans and spend time doing something more meaningful.
Now, imagine once again that you have just 24 hours left, and write down a list of ten things you wish you had done during your lifetime but never actually got around to. Here are a few examples to start the ball rolling:
I Wish I Had…
Visited the Grand Canyon
Prepared for the financial well-being of my loved ones
Climbed a mountain
Taken my partner on a second honeymoon
Been less judgmental
Helped people less fortunate than myself
You get the idea. Once you have a list of ten or more of these things which you would have liked to have done (and not before), you may continue…
Now that you have decided exactly what you would have like to have achieved during your lifetime, you have a perfect list of goals which you can now pursue with enthusiasm.
At this point, some of you will scoff. ‘Life is not that easy!’ many of you will exclaim. ‘You can’t just make a list of goals and then expect to achieve them. You need money to achieve some of these goals, and money takes work, and work takes time!’
We too used to think along similar lines. We used to think that life was difficult – that the only way to survive, let alone thrive, was to work hard and long. We used to think that you needed luck to be happy and do all the things you wanted to do.
But we were wrong, and in the final part of this series we will explain why.
Life and death are always intertwined. It is a paradox, but to truly understand and master life, we must first take a close look at death. This might sound morbid to some people, but really it is not, as I hope to explain in this short series on Life and Death.
Death is one of the few things that we know is going to happen with absolute certainty. The only thing we don’t know is when it will happen. Since the event is inevitable, it makes sense that the worst thing we can do is avoid thinking about it in the foolish hope that it will go away. It is far better to face the fact of death square in the face, for in doing so, the mystery of life itself becomes dramatically clearer.
The majority of people – including many ‘enlightened’ individuals – have a fear of death. They see it as the end of something beautiful – as something that should be postponed for as long as is humanly possible. Thus modern society is endlessly concerned with prolonging life on this world. One thousand and one diets are launched onto an unsuspecting public, new exercise fads appear every week and scores of scare-mongers advise us not to eat eggs, or cheese, or beef… the list goes on and on and on.
Of course, life is precious and should be sensibly preserved if at all possible. But no diet, no exercise routine, no abstinence from cigarettes or alcohol is ever going to alter the fact that one day, every individual on earth must face death.
So let us face the facts. You were born alone, and eventually you will die alone. Of course, you may be in the company of others when the time comes, but from a spiritual point of view both birth and death are solitary journeys from one plane of existence to another.
This should not frighten you, but it should make you see that your preparation for this event cannot be passed on to someone else. Whatever your religious beliefs, you cannot rely on others to make the journey for you. For example, if you have Christian beliefs then you cannot rely on the faith of your minister to help you through death.
Likewise, this series itself cannot help you except in the form of guidance. You must face the event alone – like a warrior passing from the safe haven of his home into a gloriously new, unexplored territory. The amount of preparation you make in this life, in terms of spiritual progress, is entirely up to you.
Many people talk about life after death. They believe in something called eternal life, and assume that their human birth was the beginning of this life. This is incorrect. Eternal life has no end, but it also has no beginning. You existed before you were born, and will continue to exist after your physical death.
So if you look at the situation from another perspective, you have already gone through a ‘death’ experience when you were born. Before birth you existed in another form on another plane of reality. Then you ‘died’ on that plane and passed onto the physical plane through birth. When your physical body dies on this plane, all you are doing is going back to the plane you came from.
So what is the point of all this talk about death?
Well, the main point is to help you realise in a conscious manner that your life on earth will not go on forever. You do, of course, already know this – but how many people actually let that fact sink in? Not many. If they did they would see the futility of becoming too engrossed in material pleasures, or in wasting the time they do have here in shallow or even pointless pursuits.
Now that you realise that your time on earth is but a blip on the scale of your whole eternal existence, the question arises as to what you are here for. We believe that before physical birth, the spirit that is you actually decided where and when it was to be born. We believe that you chose your parents, your social status and even your neighbourhood because those people and situations would give you the best possible chance of achieving your life goal.
If you have experienced what you might refer to as a ‘hard life’ then you will know that this life has already taught you plenty. You may know what it feels like to suffer poverty, sickness or physical disability. Yet through these things you have learned more about yourself and the universe. However, you have not yet learned all there is to learn. If you had, your physical body would have died so that your essence may return to the other plane and ‘report back’ as it were.
Consider the old American television series Mork and Mindy, which starred Robin Williams as Mork – the alien from the planet Orc. His mission was to visit earth, spend some time here and report back to Orson – his superior – on a regular basis. Each episode had Mork experiencing something different – be it love, anger, jealousy, kindness, honesty and so forth – and then reporting about what he had learned.
If you see yourself as a spiritual ‘alien visitor’ who is here to experience life in all of its fullness and then ‘report back’ to your origin when you physically die, death holds little to fear. It will be seen as nothing more than ‘going home’ to the place where you truly belong.
Since you have so little time here and are meant to be experiencing everything which life has to offer, you can’t afford to waste a moment of it. You should treasure each week, day and hour of life as a precious gift – as another segment of time which has been given to you to use wisely.
Pendulum Power is only useful if you know how to use it, so at this point it is fitting that I explain exactly how a pendulum works. As I have already said, a pendulum is used to help you access the source of all knowledge within you. The way you do this is to hold the pendulum in your hand and ask a question which can be answered either ‘YES’ or ‘NO’. The answer is obtained by interpreting the direction in which the pendulum swings in response to your question.
To keep your pendulum use as simple as possible, you can draw a Pendulum Power Chart on a piece of paper to make such directional interpretation automatic. An example chart is shown below:
Using Your Pendulum
Actually using your pendulum to access the source of all knowledge within you is incredibly easy. In fact there are just three simple steps which you need to follow:
Step One – Preparation
You should ensure that you have your pendulum and your pendulum chart with you, then go to a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.
Sit down and place the Pendulum Power Chart in front of you.
Now take your pendulum in your dominant hand (the hand you write with) and hold the pendulum still so that it hovers about an inch or two above the centre of the pendulum chart.
Step Two – Ask A Question
Now you are ready to ask a question. The question can be anything, but should be asked in such a way that the answer can be yes or no. For example, you might ask, ‘Will this book help me to become more successful in life?’ because this can be answered either yes or no. But you can’t ask something like, ‘How can this book help me to become more successful in life?’ because the answer to this question can’t be answered with a yes or no.
It is important that you think about your question very clearly when using the pendulum so that you aren’t sending conflicting messages to the source of all knowledge. For example, if you ask a question about your job but you are actually thinking about something else, the answer you get could apply to either.
For best results, you should ask one question at a time and think only about that question until you have obtained an answer.
Step Three – Obtain The Answer
Once you have asked your question, concentrate on the weight of the pendulum. Do not move it physically, but just watch the weight of the pendulum. After a few seconds it will begin to sway in one direction or the other. This swaying will usually become more prominent and before long the pendulum will either be swinging clearly from NO to NO on your pendulum chart, or from YES to YES.
Obviously if the pendulum swings from NO to NO then the answer to your question is NO. If it swings from YES to YES then the answer to your question is YES.
On some occasions the pendulum will refuse to swing or it will go round in circles. This means that your question cannot be answered at this time. Either re-phrase the question, try again later, or ask another question on a different subject.
The more you practice with your pendulum, the better the results will be. However, you can’t expect the answers you get to be one hundred per cent accurate from day one. The pendulum is simply a tool which enables your subconscious mind to ‘tune in’ to the source of all knowledge and relay any resulting information through your physical nervous system and out to the pendulum itself where you can see it.
As with any tool, the more you practice using it, the better the end results will be.
Example Questions To Ask
Surprisingly, once some people have discovered how easy it is to access the source of all knowledge within them, they have a difficult time coming up with questions to ask! To ensure that this doesn’t happen to you, I will now list a selection of questions that you might like to use as you practice using your pendulum on a regular basis. Read them, use them, and enjoy!
Is this my first life-time on earth?
Will my current actions take me to wealth?
Will my current habits result in good health?
Am I currently fulfilling my life’s purpose?
Am I making the most of my potential?
Should I think about changing jobs?
Should I think about moving home?
Is my spiritual growth on target?
Do I need to spend more time developing my spiritual awareness?
Should I be more intuitive?
Should I be more considerate of other people?
Should I be less judgmental?
Conclusion
One of the things that almost everyone wants is a set of answers to life’s questions. We want to know what we are, who we are, and where we are heading. We want to know how our current actions, habits and beliefs are shaping our destinies. We also want to know what to do or change so that we can reach our full potential.
Pendulum Power can help us to get those answers. Not because a pendulum is a magical item in and of itself, but because it is a divination tool which we can learn to use to tap into the source of all knowledge which lies deep within our beings.
As we ask our questions and use our pendulums to get the answers, our spiritual growth can flourish from the inside out. As we begin to rely on the voice within rather than on the words of others, we finally begin to discover what spiritual enlightenment is really all about.
