All actions are preceded by an energy to create that action. The energy is built up by the thought of what the energy is to be used for. Example; anger begats fighting and so the energy of anger is strong, immediate, fierce and temporary. Whereas the energy built by the thought of making one’s family member feel good is of an entirely different octave. The latter energy is mild, grows with time, is gentle and lasting.
When you continually build a fierce energy that force sifts into other emotions and so a person angry at his boss can very well take that energy home with him and direct it at wife and children.
The thought that creates the mental images that bring about the energy to perform the action is in itself created - by some stimulus. The hierarchy here is Stimulus, Thought, Energy, Action. No action can be taken without the energy to act. No energy can be formed without an intentional thought. And no thought is ever formed without the stimulus of some agency to fire off whatever that stimulus has been anchored to.
I like to make difficult concepts clear and so I will clarify the subject as best I can so that you may use the concept to better your life if you so desire.
Good heath and wellness are predicated basically on four things.
1. A healthy diet.
3. A happy attitude. 4. A relaxed state of mind.
Assuming that you are aware of what constitutes ‘a healthy diet,’ we would carry on with a short walk, eventually a brisk walk. Working up to, if you are not comfortable walking already, an hour brisk walk, every day.
A relaxed state of mind can be easily achieved by going to a meditation level, and working at least three goals per week, say one on Monday, one on Wednesday, and the last on Friday. You will be amazed at how relaxed you get when you are conceptualizing a goal. Take your time at it. Take a few minutes to get to your meditation level and spend another couple of minutes visualizing your goal. This will open your ESP channel and enhance a relaxed state of mind more so than anything else you can do.
And last, and most important of all, a happy attitude. How to achieve a happy attitude when circumstance tell you otherwise. You seldom know whether the thing is good or bad except in retrospect.
If you are going through hard times in some aspect of your life or other it could very well be a message that you are on the wrong road and should take another. Remember it is never the event that causes the emotional problems that cause ill health, it is your attitude towards the event. Change your attitude and change the event.
My favorite attitude metaphor is the one about the dirty dishes. Almost everyone hates to wash dishes whereas everyone loves a sparkling clean kitchen.
To change your attitude, don’t wash dishes - sparkle up the kitchen. The dishes will be in the way of that and you will have to wash them, but you are not washing dishes, you are sparkling up the kitchen. To use the modern popular jargon, put a different spin on it.
That simple change of attitude can help you keep in good health and be well.
Don’t study, learn. Don’t curse the dark, let in the light.
Attitudes direct your life more than relationships, more than money, more than sex, more than education, more than anything. When you direct your attention towards an event it is invariably your attitude that creates peace or havoc in your life. Many a healthy millionaire has done himself harm because of a wrong seeing attitude.
change that person’s attitude. One changes from a fearful, phobic, failure in many aspects of life to a person with faith in the future, courage in dealing with the minor and major events in life, and a realizer of the fact that failure does not exist except as a learning experience.
You can ‘fail’ a dozen times, you only have to succeed once.
Not to take an action is to fail, for if the action is not taken you can certainly not succeed.
Actions are more likely when your attitude towards the thing the action is directed is that of a positive nature. Action requires energy. But what exactly is energy. Let’s see.
The generally accepted scientific definition of energy is: The ability to do work. If something enables something to work, there’s energy involved. The mind works, and so it is energized. But by what? Let’s say that you’re out of coffee and you have to go to the store to get some if you want coffee at home. The desire for a cup of coffee is the energizer to get you to go to the store. Desire therefore stimulates energy. Desire is what gets you out of bed, to work, to play. Some degree of desire is behind ever act, every action. Desire is a mental thing, and just as intangible as is the mind, and yet there it is, the instigator of work. How does the mind create desire? Does it simply appear? Or is there some stimulating factor that comes about? All of the things that have happened to you in the past are what make you the person you are. Your desires are the result of all those happenings. All that resides in your memory, and so we must add memory to the list, memory is energy, potential energy. What triggers memory? Let’s see if we can uncover an answer.
People who are coffee drinkers have a desire for a cup at different times. Some desire a cup when they get up in the morning, some when they sit down for a rest, some when they smoke a cigarette, some after a meal, some with a meal, but note that always, the coffee is attached to something else. Something that causes a desire for a cup of coffee. A stimulus. And so it is with all things, Stimulus creates desire and desire triggers the action. If we were to diagram this it would be, Stimulus, Desire, Energy, Action. Advertising is designed to create a strong stimulus that brings about a desire in you to purchase the product. The desire builds an energy that is satisfied by the action of purchasing the product.
Desire is a thought, a mental construction. There can be no energy for an action without a thought preceding the energy.
