We live in a ‘thought’ Universe

May 22, 2008 · 3 Comments

There are few phrases more revealing and beautiful have been written to explain how the laws of the universe works. Of course Wattles insists repeatedly that he does not explain why but how. Even so, how, reported in this way, is very similar to what. Because is in the thought that the How is the What.A Universe thought. It’s a beautiful idea that leads to my mind an image of thinking that can generate all or parts of the universe. The beauty of the planets, the unthinkable phenomena that occur on their soil, the amount of different suns that bombard the (almost) infinite space. And no wonder who generates this thought. It matters? I don’t genuinely think so. Someone has thought so. Someone or perhaps many, over time, have created such a thought.

It is not an interesting idea to apply it to god? It is not wonderful a god who created the universe from his thinking? On the other hand, should have used a tool rather than their own thinking to take everything form being the absolute power? Perhaps we do not share all or parts of that absolute power?

And if the big bang is true, and is nothing more than a thought towards exploiting a multitude of stars and suns that the same thinking goes shaping them as they passed the first few seconds or minutes of life in the universe to expand at the speed of light? Moreover, continuous doing every day?

We live in a universe thought. And every day and positively thinking over time, we create the reality that shape our thoughts. And in our small scale, mold our little life with the model that mark our minds, daughter of the father, made in his image and likeness.

The Fear

October 19, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Passed days I wrote a post about the fear, and I promised another about how to removing it. I took a long time in writing this, since I find the topic of the fear central in the form of living of the humans. I should find a certain method to escape from. That would be the biggest revolution since Wallace Wattles wrote its famous The Science of Getting Rich.
Not I believe to have achieved it, but yes I can share a series of thoughts in this respect and meditate like to progress in the matter. Much has meditated on the matter and about how should be this method. Here my ideas.
When it was a litlle boy and lived with my parents, it took me a lot of time concile the dream at nights. I don’t know if it was because had a lot of energy or for what, but it passed long while put to bed without being able to fall asleep. I would have six or seven years and we lived in a house with two rooms, in one my mother and my father and in the other me, alone and without being able to fall asleep.
We all know that at night the senses become deep and sensitive. This way, I in my vigil, believed to listen noises from the kitchen or from the backyard. And always invariably thought that it was a thief that entered to the house. I was never imagined a cat or a bird, it was always a thief. Then, from my bed I used to call to my father and asked him if he had listened that noise. And my father screamed me from his bed: it is “a cat!” or it is “the wind!”. I didn’t believe his answer and continued thinking that it was a thief, death of fear in my bed.
This history repeated night after night. Me scared to death in my bed thinking of a thief that soon would threaten us with a gun and my father looking for every day a different excuse that could be convincing.
Until one day, already tired of this sequence and not being able to sleep, after my question my father got up of his bed, he came to my room and sat down on my bed with all the patience and kindness of which was capable, and he told me very affectionately: Do you “believe that if it was a thief you would listen to it to make the most minimum noise?” 
The argument was so simple and logical that left me silenced in a beginning, stops then to make me feel so calm that never more I listened noises at night again although it consisted me to fall asleep. The argument that if a thief is really a professional one and he makes his work well, nobody would notice until it was not too late, sounded me so rational and logical that dissipated all my fears. My father didn’t say that thieves will never enter in my house, but rather I would not listen to them until he had them ahead. For my six year-old mind this was pure logic, brutal and solid as a rock.
The moral is: how we dissipate the fear? with pure, brutal and solid logic as a rock. The reality indicates us that the only thing that we create we create with the thought. If then we turn it an object with our hands it is another thing, but it was already created. It is more, the human thought is the totally original only thing in the universe. You can imagine a dog with two lines or with five paws, or sew that they don’t exist. Or a form that nobody never creates. Or designs that never been saw before.
And the reality indicates us that we are creative when we impregnate the thought in the amorphous substance. If we have a creation power, we cannot be afraid, since all that we want will be given us. The power of the creation has already been demonstrated thoroughly in the book of Wattles and in this blog, as when we mention David of Michelangelo in another post. And that creation power exercised in absolute harmony with the nature, with the everything, with god, by means of the gratitude for the things that we obtain and we will obtain, it is the one that returns us unique in the Universe.

Why is a science and not a religion?

August 25, 2007 · Leave a Comment

If Wallace Wattles had written his book in these days, people had probably transformed him in a religious leader. He would have their own meeting places and maybe until their fanatic followers and their own liturgy. It is very easy that people had considered The Science of Becoming Rich as a religious book of the new age.

That is because all the references that Wattles carries out to the dark matter, the amorphous and intelligent matter, could be referred to an omnipresent god and that everything knows. But Wattles didn’t write on religion. Why?

The religion, anyone of them, seeks to explain the origin of the universe, like what are the things, like how they were created, who made it, who has the control and how to making to please him, or rather what waits this god from us. It is the explanation of the origin and final destination of the things. It is the one on the way to the universe, explained and digested so that masses understand it or so that they have enough consistency like so that, if they don’t understand it, at least put their faith in them.

But Wallace Wattles wrote about a science. The science doesn’t seek to explain the origin and the destination of the things, but it simply explains how they work. Which are the laws that govern them. A thing is to know how the planets move, which it is its trajectory, and another very different one is to know who created them, why and for what reason. He simply discovered a mechanism for which the human being can build his future to his will and convenience. And it exposed it without giving explanations of why is this way. It simply works, as he said.

To be rich is not a sin

August 25, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Maybe the confusion comes for that of “blessed the poor because they belongs the Kingdom of the skies”. It is not my intention to start translating the Bible. Be enough to say that when having a single translation, the official one, is not very probable that the sense has been copied in the right way. One could write a lot about how the official church contradicts the same thing that translates. But good, that is another history.

In our Latin, Catholic and western culture, to be rich is seen as sinful and to be poor as compassionate. This truth has been extrapolated to the point that the bad guys always appear as greedy, in our culture, and the good ones as poor and indigent. This way, wealth is synonymous of vulgarity and sin, and poverty is synonymous of virtuousness and sanctity.

But Wattles gives us a totally revolutionary vision in this aspect. To be rich allows to carry out the human being’s potentialities, to grow, to be given ourselves more life, a life more full, bigger happiness, and to be able to also give it to others. To be poor is to reduce the man’s capacities, to limit it, to deprive him of life, of pleasure, of fullness.

It is worth to clarify that this doesn’t have anything to do with the justice, which implies a concept completely separated, different. That in our countries we see that the rich ones don’t pay their taxes, condemning this way to thousands to the education and health shortage, is another problem. Or that the rich ones can hire better lawyers and not to pay for their crimes, which happens also, is not something that makes the wealth in itself to be a bad thing. It would be as saying that the water is bad because it produces floods.

The wealth is what allows the man to be developed in all his fullness, without loading it of concerns that don’t make bigger sense when living a full and wise life. To be rich is to be able to be, to be able to act freely, to be free of ties, to be able to know the world, the life in their different forms, to be able to develop what you want without concerns.

From where donations will come out to protect the poor of the desvastated communities, from the hungry countries? from other poor people? Who will leave his children one day without eating so that the poor from Africa eat? Let us don’t allow ourselves to deceive, the wealth is good, it is useful and it is more life and more wisdom for all. Then how we apply it is a moral problem, but is not a characteristic of the wealth or the fortune.

A guide for not being discouraged or to lose the faith

August 5, 2007 · Leave a Comment

There are times in which the faith is weakened. One feels diminished, without enthusiasm, and with few hopes that the things be real and the wealth flow as one desires it, imagines it and sees it clearly in his thoughts. Is in those moments, that are cyclic and always will appear, when one doubt of the method of Wallace Wattles. (more…)

I think, then I create what I think.

August 4, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Came to my mind the idea of Omar, that emphasized in a comment in this blog that “to think is the hardest work than exists”. This it taken freely of the chapter 4 of The Science of Getting Rich of Wallace D. Wattles.

Really think is a hard work. It could not be less, since is the authentic piece of the creation reserved for us, humans. and for God, or the amorphous substance, call it as you want. If the nature privileged us with the possibility to do worlds, to build cities or beautiful monuments, and each imaginable and unimaginable thing in our head, should not be an easy task. If we are the only beings of the creation that can think, should not be a simple task. (more…)

Religion in Wallace Wattles

July 26, 2007 · Leave a Comment

One of the amazing things that I discovered in the book of Wallace Wattles was his deep religion sense in the light of the vision of somebody like me, of Christian and catholic origin. Including this affirmation is any person who professes a monotheist religion.

I precisely talk about the vision that Wattles has of God like the infinitely intelligent substance that embraces all the things and his origin and simultaneously constant gestation of all things. Wattles, in its own mentality of beginnings of 20’s century, does not call God to him but the amorphous substance or the intelligent substance.

Let us remember that its time is dominated by an all-powerful cientificism, a mandate to justify all the things from a scientific point of view or for-scientist point of view. It is the time of appearance of the great scientific theories as much in physics, chemistry, astronomy, almost all later questioned and accepted partially nowadays. The fact that he replaces to God by a substance, giving him a more physical or chemical character, does not worry to me.

After all, who says that but our anthropomorphous mental image God must have the image of a being, of a person. It is for me but simple to imagine it like a substance that impregnates everything, that is in all sides, that all see, that all knows, that all perceives.

Because of these reasons, Wallace Wattles’ The Science To Become Rich does not collide in any way some with any of the present monotheists religions. It cannot offend the religious sensitivity of anybody, but that is more inclusive, more scientist and at the same time more deeply religious than none of supposedly inclusive sciences of the real Universe that we know.
