THOUGHT POWER How to get what you want?

It would indeed be hard for many of you to know that your own thoughts have created your current life-pattern. Nobody wants to suffer! But still we see people suffer. Why is that then? Have they created their suffering? It might be hard to believe but, the truth is, it is yes! It is our own thoughts that influence and create our reality. If you look deep into your life pattern, you can realize that you already have created your reality. You fear that you might get caught in rain and you step out, probably you will be drenched in rain. You fear that something is going to be wrong and you will end up seeing that something is actually going wrong. You will see the change, when you start thinking positively and develop trust in the divine will. Our thought patterns and beliefs we have developed so far have programmed our subconscious mind to believe that we cannot be really joyous all the time. Contrary to that belief our very innate nature is being joyous. So, definitely we can be joyous all the time and enjoy every moment of our life on earth naturally. In Sanskrit we say "Yat bhavam tat bhavati" which translates to "As you think, so you become". It is definitely true that you become of what you think. Our mind has that capability. It identifies itself with objects it perceives. At subconscious level, things happen to make it really happen in the actual life. When you see something and fear that it will happen, it will happen. When you believe that some thing positive will happen, it will also definitely happen. Many people have some difficulty in accepting this - that your thought power creates your real world. If you look closely at your life, you will find that you are already creating your reality by your thoughts. You already are controlling your life with your own thoughts. So, if you can create what you have now, you can also create what you want in your life! Everything in this universe is pure energy! And energy vibrates constantly! Things are perceived as different because of the difference in the level of the vibrations. So, the energy vibrations indeed affect and influence each other! Similar energy forces and vibrations attract each other and encourage each other. In the sense, when you start fearing that some accident is going to happen, you generate some 'fear' energy vibration. The more you 'feel' that fear in you, the more stronger is the vibration. And this vibration will attract similar ones and these vibrations will make it happen for you. It is not enough if you just think about something. The key is, thinking with emotions attached to it. This will make the thoughts more powerful and such energized thoughts will make things happen for you. Many coincidences will happen in life whether you like /want them or not and ultimately whatever you thought in your mind with full emotions, come to you automatically with less conscious physical effort.

So, why not think about being joyous all the time? Why not think about in the "BEING" state all the time? Your inner world creates your outer world! If you look closer, it is already creating.. Read more about how to manifest what your heart truly desires in this series : How to get what you want

How to manifest goals using thought power?

As said in an article "As you think, so you become". Many people have some difficulty in accepting this - that your thought power creates your real world. If you look closely at your life, you will find that you are already creating your reality by your thoughts. You already are controlling your life with your own thoughts. So, if you can create what you have now, you can also create what you want in your life! All you need is a bit of patience and perseverance. But how does this happen? Revisiting the energy concepts mentioned in this article, everything in this world is just energy which vibrates at different levels. So, when you are thinking about something, you are actually focusing or concentrating energy on that. You are giving the "Prana" to that object in mind. Prana is the life force energy and as long as you focus on that object in mind, you are actually giving life force energy or life to it. As long as you give life to it, it stays in your mind and the energy vibrates in such a way to manifest the goal in mind. When you do not think about anything, then you are not giving any life force energy/Prana to it. When there is no Prana, there is no existence. So, those things about which you do not think in your mind often, do not exist in your mind for long. They just vanish away. So, what ever you are thinking about, whatever you are focusing on, you are giving Prana to it and you increase its life. You attract those things whose vibrations are in sync with yours. Coincidences and circumstances are created by these vibrations to manifest your dreams. The dreams are no longer dreams but reality! This is the power of mind and Prana: You dream and visualize about driving car and you visualize in such a way that you have absolutely no doubt about it and you find yourself driving car perfectly and confidently very soon. You visualize yourself as a successful entrepreneur with your 100% prana, opportunities strike at your door step for the same! What ever qualities you need to become a successful entrepreneur, comes to you automatically. But, doubts do come to us! Every time you ask a question to yourself, you get so many answers within your mind. When you say, "I want to become a successful Entrepreneur in next 2 years", you are fired back with many questions: "How can you do it within 2 years? What are you going to do business with? What kind of business can you do? But you don't have any experience. How can you do it? " and many more. Your subconscious mind raises lot of questions and doubts your wish.

When your goal is in sync with the universal goal, things happen so effortlessly. The universal life force energy (samashti prana) gives you all opportunities and creates incidences and chances for you to become a successful Entrepreneur. Even if you miss the first chance, the universe opens up more opportunities. Never miss a chance given by the universe. Never allow doubts to come in your way! Doubts are just blockages to the prana. Believe 100% that you already are it - you already got it and in no time, you will see that you already got it! When you do energize the wish with your 100% prana without even a small doubt, everything happen so naturally and effortlessly and things fall in their right places - just like a magic!

Dreaming is the doorway to achieving! Yes! You need to dream a lot to manifest your goals. And dream with passion and emotion. Its not the dreams that come and go in the night during our sleep. It is the dream which we visualize when we are fully awake and experience all the emotions associated with it. Almost every one knows that dreaming leads to success. But how many has actually implemented it and seen success in reality? Not many! Because, it is not enough if we just dream. There is a bit more to it - a small technique which is left untold! Today, we are unraveling here the mystery technique behind dreaming as given by Sri Madabusi Subramaniam ji. The technique as he says is "Living in the end". When you dream and visualize about your goal, you need to "live in the end" - the end being what you want to achieve. You should not be "wanting" or "wishing" or "worrying" about your goal (As mentioned in this article here, people who 'want' things keep wanting only. They never get it!) when you dream. All your energy and focus should be in "living" as though you already achieved your goal. You have to start living as though you have got it all. You should really feel that joy and happiness and satisfaction in your heart! If you literally "live" in the end - live as though you really achieved your goal, then nothing can stop you from achieving it. The key is, you should not worry about getting what you want. You should not be "living about the end". You should be living as though you have already got it - that is, in the end. For example, if you need a new job, live happily as though you have already got that job. Live like you have the job from the X company with Y salary and you are really happy and content about it. Don't think "about" the end - that is, don't be thinking about how the interview will be or how the selection process will be or how you will be getting the job or how much salary they will agree to pay you and such things. These worries will just make you nervous and lose your confidence. The key is to be happy. If you are really happy in your heart, things will not go wrong. Your confidence level is also boosted up! Hence, live in the end and not about the end. If you want to learn dancing, see yourself dancing gracefully and fluently on stage giving a live performance to 1000s of audience who are applauding you. If you want to learn driving, see yourself actually driving swiftly and confidently on road. See as much details as you can visualize and be specific. When you are dreaming or visualizing, never have "this" or "that" options. Have no wavering thoughts or doubts. Focus all your energy in becoming that what you want. Live in the end - Be what you want to be! Be happy about it and feel joyful inside. And most important of all, be satisfied - being satisfied/content is a way of showing your gratitude. With gratitude, you attract more and more blessings and grace. There is a real life success story of a student of Sri Madabusi Subramaniam ji, who applied "Living in the end" technique in her life to get the job she desired. The success story in her own words:

"I have been wanting to join one of the best software product development companies. And, as said by Sri Madabusi Subramaniam ji, I lived as though I already got the job. I felt really joyful and in fact celebrated every moment that I have got the job offer. I visualized that I was working in the company even with the details of cubicle and laptop and such. I felt really happy about how my work is getting appreciated and how I move up in the ladder. I had no doubt or second thoughts or whatsoever about this. I thanked God that I have got this job offer that I have been coveting for long. And, out of a blue moon, I got a call from my dream company for the telephonic interview even though I had not directly applied in their website. I was really surprised and a bit tensed in the beginning. But then, I just continued with the same technique. I studied for the interview when I felt like but mostly I was just rejoicing my victory. I was simply filled with happiness that I already got the job. With the same level of happiness and confidence, I took up the phone interview and it was a real surprise for me because the questions were really very easy for me to answer and in the end of it, the interviewer asked me when I can come for the personal interview! I cleared up the phone interview and was called for the personal interview in their campus. With the same attitude, I easily cleared up all the 5 levels of inperson interview and today, I have the job offer in hands! Its really incredible!" So, when you are dreaming about achieving something, don't forget to actually live in the end. Stop worrying about the end - Live in the end! Be the end!

How to get what you want?

Every desire that comes in your heart is a divine wish expressed in one way or the other. So, first of all, desiring something is not bad at all. Many times, when some desire comes to our mind, we just neglect it because of various limiting thoughts and beliefs we have. For eg: If you think I should earn 2 lac per month, then immediately, your subconscious mind might raise questions like : "How can you earn so much? Think realistically!", "What can you do to earn so much? You are not worth it!" or "Don't be greedy! There are so many people out there without a penny!" and so on. The limiting thoughts from sub conscious mind depends basically on the kind of life experiences we have had before. Such limiting thoughts make us forgo our desire or make us inactive preventing us to manifest those desires. Even if we act on our desires, we may not be able to manifest them in time. There again, limiting thoughts might hinder our efforts. Also, some times, we may get things immediately and other times, it might seem that we are not going to get it at all. What should we do to manifest things successfully? What to do when we don't get things right away? How to overcome limiting thoughts and how to manifest our goal is what explained in the "How to get what you want?" series.

How to get what you want ? Desire is the key!

As mentioned in one of our previous articles, your inner world creates/manifests your outer reality! As you think, so you become! Everything in this universe is a form of energy. The thought you have, is again a form of energy which vibrates continuously (even in your sleep) and attracts similar vibrations to you. So, if you fear about something constantly,

that which you fear about will come to you. If you feel happy, you stay happy by attracting things that brings happiness. The trick here is: To achieve something you want - like wealth, peace, prosperity, health, joy or something more specific like buying a new car, passing your IAS exam or recovering from a serious illness or whatever it maybe, you have to desire that which you want, with very strong emotion from the bottom of your heart! Any wave needs energy to vibrate and travel. The energy for your thought wave is your emotion - the desire to achieve it! It is not uncommon to see people who achieve things they want by their, what we call commonly as "willpower" - the power of their WILL. When you have strong desire towards your goal, i.e., your intentions are strong which provides enough energy for your thoughts to vibrate much stronger. These vibrating thoughts attract such similar thoughts and works on to get you what you seek subconsciously. The circumstances and situations are so created for you that your pathway to attain your goal is laid in front of you with least/NO conscious effort from your side. I have seen living examples who use their will-power to do things they really desire. I know a 84 year old female with colorectal cancer, who was declared as being in a very critical position by doctors, living confidently, waiting to see the wedding of her grand children. She was operated for cancer 2 years before and got a part of her colon removed. The colon was replaced by a plastic bag that hangs in her body which constantly reminds her of the disability (She can't pass feces normally. It gets collected in the bag which has to be emptied later on). In addition to this, she has taken chemo therapy and radiation therapy to control the cancerous growth. So, you can imagine the pain she suffers from the cancer and with all these treatments. Even with all these pain, she never complains about anything and has a smiling face to whoever she talks. She confidently says "I will live for some more time to see the wedding of my grandchildren". Where do you think she gets all the energy to say that? The desire to live and the desire to see the grandchild's wedding is so much that she gets the power to live with smiling face even with all the pain. And that strong desire coming to her, is infact a divine will expressing through her. She is a best living example for manifesting goals with "will-power". Her strong intentions are keeping her alive. The desire to live drives her body and mind to keep living with HOPE. Her thoughts receive energy from her desire or the will and these thoughts attract the right kind of medical attention and care she needs. Money flows in for her son to take care of the medical expenses and things happen smoothly without any trouble. Her daughter-in-law takes care of her completely with willingness and care. All these happen without her conscious effort. It all starts from the strong desire or the deep emotion from her heart to live. Isn't it really inspiring? The universal energy gives you what you want, to make you happy! If you do not want something so badly, you will not be happy when you get it. So, desire it strongly and the universe gives it to you right away to see your profound joy! All you have to do to get what you want is, desire it deep from your heart and feel as though you have it already and feel completely fulfilled! Your sense of fulfillment is the gratitude you show for the universal prana. And after that just forget it and live with the fulfillment or joy of possessing what you seek already. YOU WILL GET IT in no time. What if the thought of what you want is disturbing you again and again and not letting you to be happy? What if you haven't got what you want even after this?

How to get what you want Do you really want it?

As mentioned in the previous article of this series "How to get what you want?"- Desire is the key. The amount or the intensity of your desire determines your success. If you want to achieve something in life, first step towards it is, desiring it with strong or intense emotion deep from the bottom of your heart. As said before, the universal prana grants your deepest desires to make your joy complete. You cannot be completely joyous unless you really desire it. Imagine how you will be without what you desire! If you can be happy even without it, then your desire is not really deep. In such cases, maybe you wont achieve what you want. Because, you really do not desire it! There is no point in asking for something without actually having the emotion of desire for it. There might be several cases in which the negative though patterns within you, will try to stop you from desiring it. For example, you might want to earn 2 lac per month. But your mind might immediately laugh at you saying "How can you earn so much? What is it that you have to earn so much? Think practical. You can't do it!" or it might say "it is not right to desire so much or you might end up in loosing what ever you have!" or something of that sort. Because, we are taught so many things about desire that we might not even acknowledge our normal legitimate desires. In such cases, do not stop the desire. The very capacity to desire something shows your capacity to be completely joyous on getting it. So, let the desire flow through you. Your desire is an indication the cosmic intention to act through you. It is perfectly normal to desire something. If you have given up your desire because you did not get it, allow it to flow through you again. Feel the desire once again with the same intensity or probably more intensity. In case you stopped desiring something because you did not get it right away, don't stop the desire. Don't bring up some negative feelings like "Maybe its not for me", etc. Allow the desire flow through you once again. Again, your desire is an indication that God wants to work through you for something. So, just let it come. Feel it! Acknowledge it! Allow it completely! As explained in the previous article, the desire is the energy for your though vibrations. Without the energy the thought waves cannot vibrate and manifest your goal. If you raise fear or doubts about your own desire, then such negative feelings will decrease the vibrations of your thought. In such cases, it is not possible to manifest what you want. So, desire what you want completely wholeheartedly without any doubt or any negative feeling! If you desire something strongly, then everything in this universe with align itself in such a way to manifest your desire to reality. All you have to do is trust the samashti prana (Universal life force energy) and let it do the work for you. It is an act of surrender through which you detach yourself from the outcomes of the desire as well. When you surrender you don't let any negative blockages come in your way. The positive energy vibrations of desire will work and manifest your desire at the right time in the right place. So desire whatever you desire completely without any doubt. Allow no negative feelings of doubt, fear or anything that might interrupt your way to attain it. Feel that you actually already own it and enjoy the attitude of gratitude. Thank samashti prana for giving you what your heart truly desires. Thanking is the next very important step in getting what you want in life.

How to get what you want? Attitude of Gratitude

Here comes the very important step in the series of articles for How to get what you want (See the previous articles in this series: Desire is the key, Do you really want it?)! : Attitude of Gratitude As given in the previous articles, when you want something to happen, you need to have deep desire for it. Allow yourself to desire what you need completely wholeheartedly without any doubt or fear or negative emotion. Do not let any sort of negative feelings to come on your way. Trust the universal life force energy and allow it to work for you. The supreme power will manifest your desire at the right time. When you desire something with deep intensity, also feel that you already have got it. Feel that you already own what you wanted. Feel the sense of fulfillment and joy within you. Most importantly thank the universal life force energy for having given you what you want. Your sense of fulfillment is itself an expression of gratitude. So, feel satisfied about your achievement. Feel fulfilled and joy! You really have to feel as much fulfilled as though you have really got what you want. You might ask, how can I feel fulfilled when I have not got it in reality. When you really feel fulfilled without raising any doubt, you truly surrender and trust the universal prana for achieving your goal. This trust in the universal life force energy will manifest what you desire even without you knowing it or you consciously taking any effort. When your desire is so deep, you will feel really fulfilled. When you feel fulfilled, you are showing your sense of gratification to the universal cosmos. And this attitude of gratitude is the link with divinity. It works like magic! Again, there is no point in just merely saying thank. You have to feel it in your heart! The feeling of trust coming out of surrender is a positive energy which amplifies your desire and thought vibrations which will work through to create circumstances for you to manifest your dreams as reality. When you feel satisfied that you have already got it, you will naturally forget about it. Because we don't worry about things that we have got. And that is perfectly right. You should forget about it. (Please note that even though you forget about it, your desire for the same is still alive) Do not keep worrying when it will come or how it will come. When you lay complete trust in God, you wont question Him! If such doubts come to you, then just go back. Start from the beginning: Allow yourself to desire it wholeheartedly and then feel that you already own it and thank God for the same. You really need not know how it will be manifested. Our logical brain is too small to know the mysteries behind the law of universe. It cannot understand how things work in the cosmic realm. If you try to know answers for each and every question, then your goals will never be achieved. If you will learn to drive a car only after knowing all the mechanics of car, how long will it take for you to start driving? Trust in God (or the samashti prana or the universal life force energy) and leave the "how" and "when" to it. When you felt fulfilled and gratified, you already surrendered everything to God. So, why go back to square once again? Forget it and it will happen automatically. When you surrender completely, things will be taken care of by the divine will. Your will becomes one with the divine will and you don't need to exert in any way to manifest the goal.

Once again revisiting the concepts explained in the previous posts of the series, the very ability to desire means the ability to be joyous. Desire indicates that God wants to act through you for something. So, there is nothing wrong about desire. Desire is a positive emotion. Allow the desire to unleash through you. Feel it! Acknowledge it. Then feel as though you already have got it. Feel completely fulfilled and joyous and thank God for what you got. Thank wholeheartedly and forget about the how and when questions. Things will happen automatically and circumstances will be created automatically to manifest your desires. In case you stopped desiring because you did not get what you want, then allow the desire to flow through you once again - with the same intensity or even more. Feel the happiness or satisfaction of having it already and thank God for what you have got. The divine energy takes care of manifesting it through the right means at the right time and at the right place for you. The trust and surrender which comes through the attitude of gratitude is most important to achieve what you want.
