09-06 The Law of Mental Equivalents

Thoughts attract the same thoughts and life experiences. A great deal of modern mental training is based on the law of mental equivalence. This law explains that we must have the subconscious mental equivalent of whatever good we wish to experience on the outer external plane. In other words, you cannot experience prosperity until you have a prosperity consciousness. Prosperity consciousness comes before the money in the bank. By the same token, you cannot experience health until you have health consciousness. You cannot experience love until you have a love consciousness and so forth. This law tells us that all our outer experiences are equivalent to our inner states of mind or consciousness.

Often we are unaware of the deepest thought patterns in our subconscious minds. These thought patterns are either our sponsoring thoughts, see the law of sponsoring thoughts, or thoughts that are closely related to or arise from our sponsoring thoughts. Another law that takes our understanding of phenomena a giant step forward and teaches us that there is no difference between cause and effect. Our thoughts are things. Cause and effect are in fact one and the same. At first this might be difficult to understand, but if you remove the time factor you will understand why this is true.

Without time, which is the process in all things, you will see that cause and effect are identical. And a little more thought will reveal to you that they must be identical. Nothing else is possible. This is why we now see that thoughts are things. This is the law of manifestation. This law also tells us that since thoughts are things, the reverse must also be true. In other words, things must also be thoughts. This means you can discover the nature of the cause by considering the effect, since they are one and the same.

Radish seeds always produce radishes. They never produce strawberries. The whole radish plant is inherent in the seed. The only difference between the seed and the fully grown plant is the time factor. How does it happen? What are the un-manifest become the manifest? Einstein’s theory of relativity, E equals mc squared, demonstrates that energy and mass are identical and interchangeable. The very wise tell us that thought is the mechanism of creation, the bridge between energy and mass, between the un-manifest and the manifest. Now what in fact is thought? Thought is intention and attention.

Thought organises energy and information. In other words, thought organises the field of infinite energy, which without thought is just unlimited potential. You could say that thought does not put anything into the field, rather it takes something out of the field by limiting and defining the field. Without thought, this field is simply pure potentiality. It is thought, or intention and attention, that organises and makes manifest creation pop out of the un-manifest, the field of infinite energy. In order to fully utilise this law for our benefit, we must begin to manage our thoughts.

To do so requires us to do a major soul search of our past, to determine what thoughts we have deeply buried in our mind, which controls our thoughts continuously. We must remove all the negative conditions of life experiences which we have stored deep within this mind of ours. Nothing of the enlightenment process can begin without first forgiving ourselves and others of all the wrongdoings that we or they have made against each other. Thank you for joining us in this exploration of understanding the law of mental equivalence and manifestation. Until next time, remember to keep the faith, stay strong, and continue to shine your light in the world.
