Thoughts are Things Part 1
If you have worked through my series on Creative Visualization then you will have spent a good amount of time creating a vision for your future. In this follow-on series you will learn how to begin claiming that vision using two independent yet holistically associated techniques: the Uni-Pulse technique and the Kinetic Dominance technique. Both have long histories and can be found in various forms in a range of different belief systems. We will discuss each of these processes in detail in due course, but first we ought to talk a little about the idea of us deliberately ‘claiming’ our vision, as opposed to just waiting for it to manifest itself.
There is a common emphasis in modern society on spirituality as a primarily feminine energy. We are talking here in terms of Yin and Yang, and of feminine energy being passive, docile and receptive. Whilst these qualities are important, today’s exaggerated emphasis on the feminine, with little or no mention of the more aggressive, dominant and proactive masculine energy, has led to an equally common belief that all we can do is sit and think positively and wait for things to come to us. Whilst good things can and will come to us if we think positively on a consistent basis, sitting and waiting is not the most effective way to experience change in our lives.
Lots of people like to cite Jesus as being the ultimate historical example of spiritual empowerment, and they often refer to him in feminine terms – describing him as being meek, mild and submissive to God. Well, maybe he was all of these things at times, but when it came to working miracles, he invariably called masculine energy into play. According to the ancient Christian texts, when the local fishermen couldn’t catch anything, he didn’t pray and wait for the fish to swim ashore to him. Instead he spoke a word of faith, stood up, climbed on the boat and insisted that the fishermen try again. In other words, he took action and claimed his miracle.
The same happened with the feeding of the five thousand, the turning of water into wine and many of the other miracles which Jesus is said to have done. He rarely prayed for something and then sat back to wait for the universe to grant his desire, but he brought the masculine side of spirituality into play by taking action in accordance with his expectation of positive results. If we look at the miracle workers and manifestors in other traditions, the same key idea of using the proactive, dominating masculine energy is also very apparent in their demonstrations.
I believe that this is why many people today aren’t using the creative power of their thoughts to the fullest extent of their capabilities. Not because they are somehow lacking in ability (all of us have incredible levels of creative power that can be utilised) but because they are being taught to emphasise feminine energy to the detriment of the masculine.
The best way to create what you want in life is to take both feminine and masculine approaches simultaneously so that a perfect balance of yin and yang is achieved. This is what the miracle workers of the past did by combining inner work with outer work. They meditated and then acted. They prayed and then went out to make it happen.
Whilst feminine and masculine energy can both be powerful when used separately and individually, using both energies in unison magnifies the power of each, yielding a collective effect which is many times the arithmetical sum of the two.
The two techniques which I will give in my next two Thoughts are Things posts are designed to be used in unison so that this magnified effect is demonstrated in your life. The Uni-Pulse technique is one which primarily utilises the feminine energy, and the Kinetic Dominance technique primarily utilises the masculine energy. Each process is effective alone, but when used together the results are something that have to be experienced to be believed.
