and joyous Deliberate Creator.
With practice, you will be able to achieve
focused control of this Creative Energy;
and, like the skilled sculptor, you will
take delight in the molding of this
Energy that creates worlds, and
direct it toward your individual
creative endeavors.

When you are
thinking about something
that you have been wanting for a
very long time—and you are noticing
that it has not yet happened—a strong
negative emotion would be present within
you. However, if you are thinking about
something that you have been wanting—and
you are imagining that it is happening—
then your emotion would be one of anticipation
or eagerness. And so, you can tell
by the way you feel whether you are,
in this moment, allowing or
resisting your desire.
82
We are not
encouraging you to make
an effort to control your thoughts,
but instead, to make an effort to
more or less guide your thoughts. And it
is not even so much about guiding your
thoughts as it is about reaching for a feeling,
because reaching for the way you
would like to feel is an easier way to
hold your thoughts in vibrational
alignment with that which you
believe is good.
83
Whenever you have consistently
focused upon a subject,
causing a consistent vibrational activation
of it within you, it becomes a practiced
or dominant thought. And once your
focused attention has sufficiently activated
a dominant vibration within you, things—
wanted or unwanted—will begin to make
their way into your personal experience.
It is Law.
84
Before you can
effectively benefit from
paying attention to your emotions,
you must first accept that
Well-Being is the only Stream that flows.
You can allow or disallow this Stream,
but when you allow it, you feel well; and
when you disallow it, you feel sick. In
other words, there is only a Stream of
wellness, which you are allowing or
resisting, and you can tell by the
way you feel which you
are doing.
85
You are supposed to thrive.
You are supposed to feel good. You
are good. You are loved, and Well-Being
is constantly flowing to you; and
if you will allow it, Well-Being will
manifest in all manner of ways in
your experience.
86
A belief is only a
practiced vibration. In other
words, once you have practiced a
thought long enough, then, anytime
you approach the subject of that thought,
the Law of Attraction will take you easily
into the full vibration of your belief. And so,
as you have a life experience that matches
those thoughts you were pondering, you
conclude, “Yes, this is truth.” And while
it may be accurate to call it “truth,”
we would prefer to call it
attraction or creation.
87
Anything that you give your
attention to will become your
“truth.” The Law of Attraction says that
it must. Your life, and everyone else’s,
too, is but a reflection of the predominance
of your thoughts. There is no
exception to this.
88
To be the Deliberate
Creator of your own
experience, you will be one who
has decided to direct your thoughts,
for only when you deliberately choose the
direction of your thoughts can you deliberately
affect your own point of attraction.
You cannot continue to discuss, observe, and
believe things in the same way you always
attraction—any more (as we mentioned previously)
than you can set your radio dial
to 630AM and receive the broadcast
from 101FM. Your vibrational
frequencies have to match.
89
When fully
focused upon your desire
(and your vibrational offering
purely reflects that), you feel wonderful.
And when focused upon the absence
of something you truly want, you feel awful.
Your emotions always let you know what you
are doing with your vibration; your emotions
always let you know exactly what your point
of attraction is; and so, by paying attention to
your emotions and by deliberately offering
thoughts that affect the way you feel, you
can consciously guide yourself into the
vibrational frequency that will
allow the fulfillment of any
desire you hold.
90
Once you
begin to accept yourself
as a Vibrational Being who attracts
all things that come into your
experience, and once you understand
the correlation between what you are
thinking and feeling and what you are
receiving—then you hold the keys to
get from wherever you are to wherever
you want to be, on all
subjects.
91
Most people do
not believe that they have
control over what they believe.
They observe things happening
around them and evaluate them, but
they usually feel that they have no control
whatsoever about the belief that is
formulating within them. They spend their
lives sorting events into categories of good
or bad, wanted or unwanted, right or
wrong—but rarely do they understand
that they have the ability to control
their personal relationship
with these events.
92
Through personal
force, or gathering in groups
to gain the feeling of more power,
many people seek to preserve their own
Well-Being by attempting to take control
of any circumstances that they believe could
threaten it. But in this attraction-based Universe
where there is no such thing as exclusion,
the harder they push against unwanted things,
the more they achieve vibrational alignment
with unwanted things—and, in doing so, the
more they invite unwanted things into their
own experience…. The more you
defend your own beliefs, the more
the Law of Attraction helps you
live them out.
93
With enough
attention to anything, the
essence of what you have been
giving thought to will eventually
become a physical manifestation. And
then as others observe your physical
manifestation, through their attention
to it they help it to expand. And the
n,
in time, this manifestation, whether it
is one that is wanted or not, is called
“Truth.” Deliberate Creation is about
deliberately choosing those
experiences you make
your Truths.
94
When your newly
activated thoughts are general
and not very focused, those
vibrations are still very small and
do not yet have much attraction power;
and so, in these early stages, you would not
likely see any manifested evidence of your
attention to the subject. But as the thought
gains momentum, you now begin to get an
emotional reading on how well this growing
thought-vibration is matching the Energy
of your Source. If it matches who-you-are,
your good-feeling emotions indicate
that. If it does not match who-you-
are, your bad-feeling emotions
indicate that.
95
When you
continue to focus upon
any thought, it becomes increasingly
easy to continue to focus upon
it because the Law of Attraction is making
more thoughts like it available to you.
Emotionally speaking, you are developing
a mood or an attitude. Vibrationally
speaking, you are achieving a habitual
vibrational groove, so to
speak—or a set-point.
96
Your emotional
set-points can change from
not feeling good to feeling good,
for your set-points are achieved simply
by paying attention to a subject
and through your practiced thought. And
we want you to understand the extreme
value in deliberately achieving your own
set-points, because, once you expect something,
it will come. The details of it
may play out differently, but the
vibrational essence will always
be an exact match.
97
Every living
thing—animal, human, or
plant—experiences that which is
called death, with no exception. Spirit,
which is who-we-really-are, is Eternal. So
what death must be is but a changing of
the perspective of that Eternal Spirit. If you
are standing in your physical body and consciously
connected to that Spirit, then you
are Eternal in nature and you need never
fear any “endedness,” because, from that
perspective, there is none. (You will
never cease to be, for you are
Eternal Consciousness.)
98
Your emotions
let you know how much
Source Energy you are summoning,
in this moment, by virtue of the
desire you hold in this moment. They
also let you know whether your preponderance
of thought on the subject matches your
desire, or matches the absence of your desire.
For example, a feeling of passion or enthusiasm
indicates that there is a very strong desire
focused in the moment. A feeling of rage or
revenge also indicates that there is a very
strong desire; however, a feeling of
lethargy or boredom indicates very
little focused desire in
the moment.
99
When you
really, really want
something, are thinking
about your desire, and are feeling
pleasure from the thought, your
current thought-vibration is in alignment
with your desire—and we call that: allowing.
But when you really, really want something
and are feeling anger, fear, or disappointment,
that means you are focused upon the opposite
of your desire; and, in doing so, you are introducing
another non-matching vibration to
the mix—and we call that: resistance. The
degree of negative emotion that you are
experiencing indicates the degree
of your resistance to your
receiving your desire.
100
Your emotions
are absolute indicators of
your vibrational content. Therefore
, they are the perfect reflection of
your current point of attraction. Emotions
help you know, in any moment,
whether or not you are currently allowing
the fulfillment of your desire…. It is
our encouragement that you pay attention
to how you feel and allow your
emotions to be the valuable
indicators they are.
101
A negative feeling
indicates that your current
choice of thoughts is so out of
harmony with your Source Energy that
you are disallowing your full connection
to that Energy Stream. (You could say that
your fuel tank is approaching empty.) Your
emotions do not create, but they do indicate
what you are currently attracting. If your
emotions help you know that your choice of
thoughts is not taking you in the direction
that you desire to go, then do something
about that: Replenish your
connection by choosing better-
feeling thoughts.
102
You have the
ability to direct your own
thoughts; you have the option
of observing things as they are, or of
imagining them as you want them to
be—and whichever option you choose,
whether you are imagining or observing,
is equally powerful. In every case, your
thoughts produce a vibration within you
that equals your point of attraction—
and then, circumstances and events
line up to match the vibrations
that you have offered.
103
When you find
yourself engulfed in circumstances
that cause you to offer
a vibration that is far from that of
bliss, then instantly reaching bliss is an
impossible thing, for the Law of Attraction
does not allow you to make that vibrational
jump any more than you could
have tuned your radio receiver to
101FM and heard a song that was
being played on 630AM.
104
It is not a difficult
thing to change the
pattern of your vibration, especially
when you understand that you
can do it a little bit at a time. Once you
have an understanding of how vibrations
work, how they affect your experience,
and, most important, what your emotions
are telling you about your vibrations,
now you can make steady, fast progress
toward the achievement of
anything that you desire.
105
It is not your job
to make something happen—
Universal Forces are in place for all
of that. Your work is to simply determine
what you want…. If we were standing
in your physical shoes, our attention would
be upon bringing ourselves into alignment
with the desires and preferences tha
t we
have launched—we would consciously
feel our way into alignment.
106
All of your desires, wants, or
preferences emanate from you naturally
and constantly, for you stand at
the Leading Edge of a Universe that makes
that so. So, you cannot hold your desires
back; the Eternal nature of this Universe
insists that your desires come forth.
107
Regarding your
creation of your own life
experience, there really is only one
important question for you to ask: “How
can I bring myself into vibrational alignment
with the desires that my experience
has produced?” And the answer is simple:
Pay attention to the way you feel, and
deliberately choose thoughts—about
everything—that feel good to you
when you think them.
108
As you made the
decision to come into this
body, you knew that you were
a creator and that the Earth environment
would inspire your specific creation.
You also knew that whenever you
asked, it would be given. And you were
thrilled by the prospect of being inspired
to attain your own specific desires,
understanding that Source would
flow through you to achieve
the completion of those
desires.
109
We refer to the
time between your offering
of a thought and its physical
manifestation as “the buffer of
time.” It is that wonderful time of
offering thought … noticing how it
feels … adjusting the thought to
achieve an even better feeling …
and then, in an attitude of absolute
expectation, enjoying the gentle,
steady unfolding of anything and
everything that you have concluded
