The Power Banks of "I AM". and "I WILL"
I often wonder do we ever think about how many I am's we address daily. We have the I am within us and the I am's we identify with daily. I believe the I am within us is our spiritual God given name.
We seem to have a bunch of I am's that we address on a daily basis. For instances , I am a school teacher, I am a mother, I am a mailman, I am a wife, I am a motivational speaker, etc. These are the I am's we address in our physical world along with some more unmentionable I am's. I truly believe we must understand all the I's we serve. We must come to realize that the I's that we spend our most time on are the ones we give the most power to.
Who are your best I ams. There are certain I's that deserve our upmost attention and power. However there are some I am's that do not serve us well and should be deleted from our lives.
Some times I listen to some I am's and I feel they really shame the true I am within us. Lets look at I am from another prospective. The spiritual I am is our God Given Name. Remember the I am? It appears that we are using the master's name. Think about it. If you have ever noticed, you cannot refer to yourself in no form except I for thinking or saying I or I am. When we use I am we are using all the God given power that comes along with it. There is no other source of yourself that contains as much power as your statement of I am.
There is one more tool that we have at our service and that is the will. God gave us all a will. Along with our will we have choices and this is why the usage of the language of the word I will has the greatest power of all. When you make a statement of "I will", you are using another God given right that has more power than you could ever realize. I look at "I am and I will" as our spiritual tools from the spiritual world.
This is another reason I feel we must think, using these words in a most respectful and positive manner. I am and I will have energy and they will manifest.
Think about this? If you ask me to take you shopping, I could possible say I might, or I could. However neither one of these statements have power as much as the statement in return of I will or
I am, going to take you shopping.
So stop and think could we be abusing our will along with the name I am. I will and I am are spiritual and need to be thought of as so.

Thoughts are things by Ophelia Chmberlain
Understanding what is meant by
Thoughts or Things
Thoughts or Things
The aim of this discussion is to understand, explorer and
simplify thought as close as we can to its existence as it relates to our every
day life. We are to understand that our final answers to our existence have a
lot to do with our thoughts. It is through ignorance that we don’t know how to
think. Our intentions is to understand and how to appreciate our own existence
in every second, every hour, every day, and in every aspect of our life.

No matter how good
your life is, something or someone can always make it better. How ever it is still all within your personal
control. Before we get into our story lets first began to understand just
exactly what is thought and meet our thoughts with understanding.

exactly what is thought and meet our thoughts with understanding.
It is stated in an old book of psychology, written by W. Y. Evans-Wentz in 1927, that
“Thoughts being things,
they may be planted like seeds in the mind of the child and completely dominate
his mental content, ‘Given the favourable soil of the will to believe, whether
the seed thoughts be sound or unsound, whether they be of pure superstition or
of realizable truth, they take root and flourish, and make the man what he is mentally.”

his mental content, ‘Given the favourable soil of the will to believe, whether
the seed thoughts be sound or unsound, whether they be of pure superstition or
of realizable truth, they take root and flourish, and make the man what he is mentally.”
It is also said that
at least 60,000 thoughts go through our minds daily. It appears that thoughts are like rain
drops. Although most thoughts are
harmless until we give special attention to them. Sometimes thoughts have certain attachment
that we really believe is true. Think
about this. Some thoughts you have do
not have to be true. If you really want
to admit to what really is, you are presenting you point of view about a situation.
Some thoughts just appear, but do they all have to be true? This is what I mean about cleaning up or
thought process. A lot of times we
attach to our thoughts without inquiring any further whether this thought is
true or not. We automatically assume that if the almighty “I” think, it is
has to be true. We should know better
than that by now. How many times have
you thought, what he or she thinks is not true about yourself or a
situation. We cannot control what pops
into our minds, but we can control the evaluation of the thought. We also can control how much power we give to
certain thoughts. If you fine the
thought to be shady or not true, we can choose to not focus on that destructive
or negative thought. On the other
hand if it is a positive though, we can alls choose to focus on it and bring it
into manifestation for our or someone’s positive benefit.

Remember some thoughts we have been attached to for years and
they do not necessarily have to be true.
they do not necessarily have to be true.
Have you ever given much thought in regards to what your
thoughts are all about and where do they come from? Your thoughts do not think
you, you think your thoughts.
thoughts are all about and where do they come from? Your thoughts do not think
you, you think your thoughts.
The power of these thoughts plays an important role in our everyday
lives. Our thoughts consist of mental pictures, mental movies, movies mostly made
of our own casting and directing. Also
many statements, many images, we rehearse over and over again looking for some
type of perfection or answer to any given situation occurring in our everyday
lives. Thus these things being played in
our minds over and over again weather positive or negative has a natural
outcome or effect in the situations we are involved in.

much of what thoughts are, we must not forget to add some components to it. Components
such as how our belief system plays a role in how we think about things. We have different what is called learned
belief systems that are established in our minds as if they were gospel. For instance we would be shocked at some of the
things that we have been taught has no merits are truth whatsoever. Some of our belief systems stems from our
basic religious beliefs. So you can imagine
other religious systems that have many other rules and regulations set by the
laws of man, how one can have a lot of different opinions concerning one given
situation. Another way to entertain how
some of our thoughts are controlled and governed;

Change Your Story
Living life by default
Change your
story and change your life
Are we living life by default?
What story are we telling others along with the stories we keep repeating to ourselves over and over in our heads with
damaging self talk.
Living life by default,
meaning any way the chips fall, So it
be. Sometimes, we do not consciously
notice that we accept life just as it is.
Whatever happens, we feel it was
supposed to happen. By what
authority do you think or
believe we were suppose to
be buffered around like small
corks in a raging sea.
Yes,
we must allow for some things that is not in our control to happen in our
life. But there are more things that
happen that is in our control, then the things that happen that’s not in our control.`
In order to
take control and make changes ,
you have to change your story to what you want it to be.
As you tell your story in your life ( and you do it
nearly all day and every day with your
thought and your actions) begin to
change it through your thoughts.
Let’s talk about changing your story. Here is an example of a story.
You are a grown
individual. You may or may not be a working adult, Your relationships may not be as you
wish and there are things that you are not satisfied with in your life as of now. You would like to make changes. First of all, if we are about to change any situation we are
in, the first thing I believe is important is how you think and what you are
thinking about the situation you are in. If you want to change it, of course you have
to start with the thought process. Thought is the power to begin with.
There is a quote that has been stated, and that quote is:
“we must be, before
we can do. And we can only do only to the extent which we are. And what we are
depends upon what we think.”
Based upon that idea we do know for fact that we do exist.
Given that we exist means that our creator endowed us with a will. Having a
will means that we have choices. Now considering that we are grown individuals,
we must be aware that our lives has been about choices. Whether these choices
were negative or positive we have to take responsibility for these situations
that we are in. Life just doesn’t happen, we have a great amount of
responsibility of how it happens.
Some choices, that we have made, may not serve us well.
However we do not have to continue to live life by default. Begin to change
your life by making better choices and taking responsibility for the choices you make. This will mark the beginning of changing your
story.
Began to change the circumstances in your life by changing
your thinking. Of course you can only do that through thought. Thoughts are like seeds planted in a
garden. You must nourish them and
continue to feed them. To feed your thoughts. This must be done through the thought process
of focusing. By focusing on a
thought, that thought we will begin to
attract forces to it that will enable it to manifest. This is why it is absolutely crucial that you
monitor your thoughts in a positive way.
Do not have thoughts of doubt, for that would be showing the lack of
faith. Faith is something that we have
to live with daily. We never stop and
think of how much faith we use daily, not realizing what we are doing. We put faith and trust in small everyday
things such as our cars the transit system.
Our food we eat, along with many other things that we’re not even
conscious about. So put positive faith
in your project or the changes you would like to make in your life.
If this is confusing to you simply take the time to write down what
you want to happen in your future and focus, focus, focus on till manifestation
comes forth.
Change your thinking and change your thoughts and change your
story. Always remember focused thoughts
will manifest whether they are negative or positive.

Thought Atmospheres – Chapter 3
From Thoughts Are Things by Edward Walker
EVERY PERSON HAS A THOUGHT atmosphere, depending upon the
general character of his thoughts. And every place, house, room, office, or
workshop has its own distinctive mental atmosphere, arising from the general
character of the thoughts of the persons occupying it. Proof of this statement
is not necessary to persons who have been out in the world of men and women,
and who have learned to distinguish that subtle mental emanation surrounding
people and producing its effect upon those with whom it comes in contact. This
experience has come to nearly every person who may read these words. Who has
not felt that strange, unexplainable, but distinct impression regarding strange
people the moment they have entered one’s presence? Who has not felt that
peculiar sensation of like or dislike; confidence or distrust; attention or
aversion; arising from the mere presence of certain people who may not even be
known to one? These things do not arise from mere fancy, but are the result of
perfectly natural laws that are understood by those who have made a scientific
study of the subject. There are certain public speakers, preachers, orators,
statesmen, and others accustomed to addressing large numbers of people, who
diffuse a thought influence over their hearers merely by standing in their
midst and attracting their attention. Some men seem to claim recognition as
born leaders by reason of that strange thought influence emanating from them,
even before they have uttered a word. Others, perhaps equally brilliant
intellectually, fail to produce this effect - there seems to be something
lacking in them. There are physicians whose mere entry into the room imparts a
feeling of confidence and trust in the mind of the patient and his family, and
which changes the entire atmosphere of the room. Other physicians possessing
equal knowledge, experience and ability, fail to produce this effect. Some
salesmen induce a feeling of good fellowship the moment they come into one’s
presence; while others arouse but a feeling of indifference, or even actual
repulsion. Some actors need but to appear before an audience, and even before
the first words of the lines are uttered something goes out from the man to the
crowd that is actually felt as a living force, while other actors produce only
a lack of interest, and oft times a feeling of being bored. But why multiply
these instances of the manifestations of mental atmosphere? Everyone who has
noticed anything about the characteristics of people must have had his or her
attention directed to this matter by actual experience, many times. It is a
matter of such common experience that the idea has but to be mentioned in order
to be recognized and admitted. By some, this personal atmosphere of people has
been treated as if it were some strange, unknown force, unconnected with mind
or body of the people emanating it. The term magnetism has been used in
connection with it, very aptly, and this fact has led many to imagine that it
is something other than it is. And, accordingly, many ingenious theories have
been devised to account for it. And many have been the methods taught to be
conducive to its cultivation. Publishers and teachers have issued high price
courses purporting to instruct one in the art of acquiring personal magnetism.
Certain methods of breathing, certain modes of diet, certain physical
exercises, all these have formed parts of the so- called instruction in the art
of acquiring personal magnetism, particularly in its phase of personal
atmosphere. But under all of these methods there may be noticed a carefully
veiled allusion to the value of the mental attitude of the person practicing
the exercise. And in that little side issue really lies all the virtue in the
various methods. For personal magnetism is, first, last, and all the time,
nothing but the result of mental energies, and depends entirely upon the
character, quality, and degree of thought-energy manifested by the person.
One’s prevalent thoughts and feelings, his hopes, fears, and desires, as well
as his mental pictures produced in his imagination, are not only projected into
space, there to affect others, but they also create around him what some of the
old writers called an aura, or atmosphere, of thought vibrations which may be
felt distinctly by those with whom he comes in contact. This mental atmosphere varies
in degree, character, quality, and extension, according to the characteristics
of the person. In some, the extension is great - that is, the mental atmosphere
may be felt at a great distance from them; while in others it may be so feeble
that it can be noticed only when one is very near to them. Then again, the
degree of power differs materially. Some persons radiate such powerful thought
vibrations that others are markedly influenced more or less by simply remaining
in the presence of the persons emanating the force. Others radiate vibrations
of but a feeble character, which are capable of producing but a faint effect.
And so far as the character and kind of vibrations emanated or radiated, one
may see that the variety is endless, depending as it does upon the specific
character and thought tendencies and habits of the persons manifesting them.
The whole matter may be summed up in the explanation that each and every person
is surrounded by a thought atmosphere, extending some distance from him, in which
is reproduced the general character of his mental states, and which atmosphere
may be, and is, felt by others with whom he comes in contact. The degree of
strength of the thought atmosphere depends upon the degree of strength of the
mental states. The degree of receptivity of others to this thought atmosphere
depends upon the particular temperamental receptivity of the other persons.
This thought atmosphere is composed of subtle vibrations of the ether, just as
real and actual as the vibrations which are known to us as electricity,
magnetism, heat and light. The matter is not one connected with mystical
theories or weird beliefs, but is recognized by the advanced science of today,
having its underlying principles and laws of operation, which may be understood
by anyone who will take the trouble to investigate the subject scientifically.
Beneath the strange theories and wild assertions of some of the leaders of the
many cults and schools teaching some of the phenomena of the newer phases of
psychology, there is a solid basis of scientific fact based upon experiment and
rational investigation. As has been said, not only do persons have their own
thought atmospheres, but places also have a similar condition manifested within
them. That is, that every house, room, office, store, workshop or other place
that is or has been occupied by people, has its own personal and particular
thought atmosphere which is perceptible to persons entering within its walls.
This thought atmosphere is the result of the thought vibrations of those who
have occupied it. This statement, also, is one that has but to be mentioned in
order to be recognized as being correct. For nearly every person has had some
personal experience of these strange phenomena. Who has not felt, when entering
into a strange house, a peculiar feeling or impression about the place, even
though its occupants may be utter strangers to the visitor, and may not yet
have put in an appearance? Who has not experienced similar sensations when
entering a strange room in a hotel, school, railroad station, or other place?
Or in an empty house? Who has not felt the atmospheres of the several stores in
which one deals? One store gives the impression of activity and energy, while
another will convey the impression of sleepiness, non-progressiveness, and lack
of interest. Another store will convey the impression of fair dealing and a
desire to satisfy the customer; while another will give the indefinable feeling
of trickiness, over-shrewdness, and a desire to overreach the customer. Many
persons receive the above-mentioned impressions quite readily, and are
influenced by them. Some office buildings seem to be thrilling with life and
activity, while others give forth a somnolent, drowsy, back number, has-been
air that is unmistakable. Ask any traveling salesman whether he does not
receive impressions of this kind from the various places of business he visits
on his trips. The writer has been informed by a representative of one of the
great mercantile agencies, who has acquired quite a reputation for his ability
to scent out unfavorable conditions in business,
that the thought atmospheres of places of business, in many
cases, have been the first hint he received that there was something strange
under way in them. There is an entirely different thought atmosphere around a
business place in which things are prosperous and progressive, from that around
one in which the opposite conditions prevail. Persons accustomed to entering
business places notice these things often, although they may not recognize the
source of the impression, and may often attribute it to an instinct or
intuition. It is really nothing but the impressions produced by the sensing of
the particular mental atmosphere of the place. It may be asked how it is
possible that places may possess mental atmospheres even after the persons
causing them have departed from the place. The answer is to be found in the
well-established scientific law of the persistence of energy. A stove may be
removed from a room, and yet its heat vibrations will remain for some time. A
distant star may be blotted out of existence, and yet its light will travel for
centuries. The light of the distant stars that we see every night left them in
the shape of ethereal light vibrations hundreds of years ago. The perfume of
the rose, which is but another form of vibration, lingers in the room for hours
after the flower is removed. Old closets and bureau drawers retain the faint
odor of perfume for years. Old letters, after being hidden away for a
quarter-century, give forth the subtle odor of the favorite perfume of the
writer, bringing tears to the eyes of one who remembers. The little ebony
cabinet that Mary, Queen of Scots, brought over from France several centuries
ago, still exhales the odor of the favorite perfume of that unhappy queen. A
paper wafer may be laid upon the surface of a new razor, and the metal then
breathed upon. When the moisture has evaporated, the wafer may be removed and
no sign of its presence is apparent. But, breathe upon it again - a minute
after, or a month, or a year - and if the surface has not been previously
disturbed, the spectral image of the wafer will reappear. The experiment may be
performed upon a good mirror, with fair results. Let a sheet of paper be
exposed to the bright sunlight, after placing upon its surface another object,
and then carefully kept in the dark for several months after removing the
object laid on it. If the sheet then were laid upon a plate of hot metal (still
in the dark), the figure of the object will appear on its surface. Science
gives us many analogies akin to that of the persistence of thought vibrations.
But, as we have said, elsewhere in this little book thought vibrations may be
naturalized by others of a more positive character, or those of greater power.
So that no matter how negative may be the thought atmosphere of a place, it may
be made positive by a change in the thoughts of those frequenting the place. By
directing to the place a steady and frequent current of positive thought, the
old conditions will disappear gradually, just as the darkness of a room may be
driven out by letting in the light of the rising sun. The coming in of a
positive person, who radiates vigorous thought vibrations, often changes the
entire mental atmosphere of a place, and visitors may distinguish the
difference at once. Each of you may charge your room, house, office, or store
with strong positive thought vibrations, if you will but begin to send forth
the right kinds of thought, and avoid the sending out of thoughts of a
depressing, negative character. And just as the thought atmosphere of the place
may be changed by right thinking, so may one’s personal thought atmosphere be
changed by the same process. Our personal thought atmospheres are just what we
have made them by our mental states; and we may alter, change and improve them
in the same way, if we will but go about it in earnest. The method of procedure
is simple - this book is filled with it - the only thing needed is earnest
effort, and perseverance. The work itself becomes a pleasure, and is helpful
and power-giving. For the reaction upon one’s self of strong, positive thoughts
sent forth to create or improve the mental atmosphere of one’s self, or one’s
room, will prove very beneficial, uplifting and strengthening. By action and
reaction do we become strong or weak, according to the character of our
thoughts and mental state?
