Thought Vibrations - 23 Self Help Classics

William W. Atkinson

Vibrations of thought can be understood in the mode of electricity and magnetism. These forces have been recognized by science and all of mankind to exist even though most people have not a clue as to how they operate. These activities are based on faith rather than knowledge, as most people are not electricians or scientists, and simply allow these forces to work in their lives without asking “why” or “how” they are to be.

Atkinson is asking the same in reference to the science behind thought vibrations. The justification that they do not exist is unacceptable under the premise that because people cannot see or feel these vibrations, then they are not real. Pythagoras and Aristotle first made statements that the Earth was round, but because faith had taught the Earth was flat, no one wanted to accept this new idea. As we now know, centuries later,

science was correct. This will one day be the case with thought vibrations as society becomes more advanced and accepting on the ability of the individual and power of thought to accomplish great tasks, replacing the archaic religious beliefs of the

supernatural.

As Ye Shall Sow So Shall Ye Reap

In nature one of the principles is that like attracts like.

This can be seen as people of a certain skin color or intelligence level will be attracted to those of similar characteristics. People wish to be around others who are like them, and whenever someone breaks the normal expectations they are socially persecuted for being “different.” Examples of this with animals show that for reproductive processes animals mate with like animals; monkeys are not breeding with snakes, for example.

Thought waves work in the same manner by attracting similar thought vibrations and circumstances to bring together more of the same thoughts. Those who think of love in all they do tend to be seen as looking through “rose-colored glasses,” ignoring the hatred in the world. Jealous people have a mindset that everyone else is jealous as well, and they are attracted to people with the same worldview.

Our general attitude will reflect in even the smallest decisions that are made, as well as influencing new thoughts and acquaintances in order to ensure the general attitude will gain momentum. This attitude can be positive or negative, and will expand exponentially either way, so it is crucial to

understand this process. Most everyone desires a happy cheerful life full of what is thought of as good luck, but really

this desired life has nothing to do with luck and is controlled by each individual. However, through a life of negative influences, such as jealousy, anger, hate, envy, greed, and poverty, you will never get the happiness you are after. Most people think that happiness is only a figment of the imagination and

unattainable to them. This is where the science of thought vibrations works to explain how happiness and joy could be acquired by everyone and that every single person has the opportunity to have these in their lives.

Scientific Explanation of Thought Waves

Thought waves operate similar to the sun, radiating ideas out in all directions rather than on one single path. The

distance between the place where the thought originates and the destination makes the waves weaker the farther they travel just as with sun light. Thoughts travel by way of the Great Sea of Life, the mental ether that surrounds everything on Earth.

The mind is the central station of thoughts, and there are two distinct lines of mental effort - active and passive. The active function serves as the creator, taking in the new ideas and either changing or destroying thoughts in conjunction with the overall view point (either positive or negative). The passive function obeys the active function and carries out all orders and suggestions without judgment or selective thinking. The active

function produces thought-habits and sends it via vibrations to where the passive function carries the thought on through to the subconscious to become part of the order of thinking. This is why it is so important to make sure the main thought pattern is a good productive one, as all thoughts filter through

depending on the core thoughts of the mind. Most people ignore the ability of the active function and go through lives like sheep accepting everything as truth depending on their faith in who is doing the talking, and it is too much of an effort to actually criticize or ask “why” when they are told something.

Once this law is understood it becomes possible to use thoughts in a constructive manner, allowing the passive

function to work to benefit the individual in serving the Higher Good. Fear is replaced by freedom when we find our true self and understand how to use our mind functions to help rather than hurt our motives and intentions.

How Do I Get Happy?

If we want to be happy, this starts by thinking happy thoughts. Let go of insecurities, fear and worry. Look for the best in everyone, and have faith that others will do the right thing. If we are looking for happiness we will let all unhappy thoughts fall to the wayside. Having a positive mental attitude in general will provide self-confidence and determination that

will overcome discouragement and failure. When we expect to be unhappy or even miserable, then that is what we will be. If there are two lines in which thought can be categorized, it is by positive and negative. To maintain a positive view point will result in feelings of strength, buoyancy, brightness, cheer, happiness, confidence and courage, and will be in action through doing work well, carrying out intentions and being progressive with success. The positive thoughts will attract other thoughts, people, circumstances, and opportunities to expand on themselves. The way to start this process of positive thinking begins by making the affirmation that something can and will be done in earnest faith, and after one truly wants to make their thought process happy will find the way in life to do so. The first step is to think happy thoughts on a positive scale, and believe with faith that this will develop.

The Use of Will

Willpower can be directed to ensure the success of the individual, but the will comes from nurturing and development, not training. Train the mind to supply will in the correct way.

When the mind is developed the will can flourish; wonderful things will happen and new possibilities develop that would otherwise be seen as unattainable. “The secret of the will is the magic key which opens all doors.” We all understand willpower

and the use of this force in facing obstacles but unfortunately we only access this power in moments of stress or hardship.

The use of will can be used in positive situations and applied constructively to work out solutions in any situation, good or bad. Strengthening the will comes from a strong desire, or aspiration. When someone really wants something in their life, they must develop the willpower to accomplish the task. First figure out what is most desirable, and make sure that the intentions are in good spirit to serve humanity without hurting or belittling others for selfish gain. Then go to work and get it done. The action is where most people fall off the wagon, as they are not willing to go through the motions. Resolve to do it.

Energy and invincible determination make powerful people.

Require the willpower and concentrate the energy through determination to get something accomplished that is on target with your overall purpose in life. Believe in yourself and gain the self-confidence to achieve anything in the world in relation to the goal. Stop wasting energy telling others about great plans and expectations and use this energy and knowledge to put forth the effort to accomplish the task at hand. Everyone is entitled to the best there is to life, and once that is realized, self-confidence will flourish. It is the direct inheritance of the Universal Life that every person needs to, and has the ability to

make the world a better place by using their efforts to serve all of humanity.

Affirmations

Use affirmation statements to build parts of the true self so that you can control your thoughts and actions, and use them efficiently in serving a purpose of serving humanity. By repeating an affirmation in true earnest and with the full faith that it is true, every day once per hour and when in moments of stress or weakness, you can train your mind and thoughts to be strong and powerful.

Mind Building: “I am asserting the Mastery of my real self.”

Willpower: “I am using my willpower.”

How to end Fearful Thought: “I am full of courage.”

Correct Mental Attitude: “I can and I will.”

Mental Control: “I am alive.”

Is This Program for Me?

Anyone that is interested in using their thoughts

constructively to change their life will benefit from this scientific analysis and explanation of thought-vibrations. By

understanding how we can use our thoughts to better our lives we have the ability to serve all of humanity through the power

of the Higher Good. Learning how the different parts of the mind and thought process are constructed gives the student the knowledge to base personal experiences and organize facts thereby allowing the mind to become retrained for positive thinking. This is important in allowing the development of faith for the understanding of thought-vibrations since most

education and personal viewpoints do not acknowledge the development of self in achieving success.

Sum of It All

Thought-vibrations are important in developing the psyche and filtering out negative and harmful information that is

encountered on a daily basis by most of society. Atkinson

explains these processes through scientific examination, just as electricity and magnetism are explained, since this is how most people will justify or rationalize new processes in their mind.

We want to be able to compare something new to something old, and by using scientific terms and imagery, Atkinson takes the reader through the mind and power of will to apply the control of our self in becoming constructive helpful members of society, rather than going through life as a robot acting only when told to by someone else with no regards to the action or reason itself. .
