Another oldie...

I wrote this blog back in 2006, ironically only a week or two before my ex and I decided to split up. Amazing how things work out, and how the universe continues to take care of me. I still believe in the power of positive thought to this day, and that tapping into your creative processes can do more for healing your body and spirit than anything external.

Intent?

Category: Dreams and the Supernatural

I've been reading a book called "The Power of Intention" by Wayne Dyer. It's a very interesting book. If you think about Star Wars, and The Force - that pretty much sums it up! Okay, so it's not that cheesy... but it is about the power of positive thought and how important it is to maintain positivity. Basically if you have good thoughts and visualize a rich, abundant future, then that is what you will draw to you. If you focus on the negative, then alternatively, that is what you will get.

Just last week I was visualizing a Krispy Kreme donut before work, and guess what??? When I got there, a pharmaceutical rep brought in a whole box! I saw it in my mind and I made it happen. :)

Seriously - I've never been a religious person and don't plan to start anytime soon. I despise organized religion. God, for me, has always been in nature and in the natural beauty of everything. Intent, according to Dr. Dyer, is the underlying energy that flows through everything - energy that, in theory, is all part of one big picture. This energy can be considered the Creative Source - God, if you will. If you are able to free your mind and tap into it, then the possibilities in your life are endless simply because you are pulling positive energy into your life.

It's the religion of quantum mechanics, in a way. Perfect for us science geeks. :)

Sounds a little like Luke and Aniken, right? :) If you look around and open your mind, you'll start to see that there is talk about this unseen force everywhere. I'm finding this extremely intriguing! I think this is one of the answers that I've been looking for - and I think this because when I look back on my journey to becoming a vet, I realize that when I was trying to get into vet school, all I could see was graduating and being a doctor. I just couldn't stomach anything else - and I now realize that I made it happen by opening up my mind, which led to more creativity - i.e. it gave me more ideas on what I needed to do in order to succeed. I've been tapping into this unseen force long before I knew I was doing it.

Part of the theory is that if you are closed to the creative source, you will remain stagnant, lacking ideas and creativity that propel you forward to success. If you open your mind to it, your creative ideas flow more freely, thus bouncing ideas in and out of your brain in an attempt to create in reality what you see in your imagination.

Think it's hokie? Well just remember those Krispy Kreme donuts... and the fact that I am a doctor after all. :)

(I'll probably post more on this as I evolve)
