Imagery is powerful. Our brains use it to communicate with us nightly. We use it hundreds of times a day, generally without being aware of it. Our images, however, are direct communications from the whole body. Our imaginings are symbols not only for what is going on in our heads at the moment but also of what we want for ourselves in our future. For example, an emotion of happiness or anger or jealousy instructs the brain to release any of over 200 hormones into the blood. They affect health and well-being over the next hours and days and perhaps weeks.

We create and listen to our mind chatter. But many people do not recognize the possible consequences of this seemingly casual self-talk and the feelings that accompany our thoughts.

Part of our brain operating from our High Creativity Channel (see yesterday’s post “Expanded Brain Functioning”), turns the frequently repeated thoughts into patterns that generate a lifetime message. As Pete wrote in his “What keeps away your abundance” post, every time we hold the same thought, we strengthen the patterns: “I’m lousy at making money.” “I’m an excellent communicator.” “I hate my body shape.” After a while we have strengthened the patterns so that they operate by themselves below our conscious awareness. From then on they color our thoughts on that issue and may generalize across many other issues as well. Thoughts form a filter through which we process the world. For example: if a woman views herself as a hard-working, creative, contributing employee at work, she will likely be eager to collaborate on a special work team or task force. She will do much better than if her pattern told her that she was lazy, dull, and doomed to lower positions in the company.

Because we recycle our thoughts, the brain tends to reinforce whatever positive-outcome patterns or negative-outcome patterns we develop. Therefore, we tend to create successful lives in some areas and less success ones in others. Consciously using positive self-stalk while in the expanded brain state of our High Creativity Channel reinforces our choices and goals and creates the life we choose.

This brain state is our supreme resource state. Home to our genius, it has enormous, perhaps unlimited abilities. In this range of frequencies, we access our intuitive thoughts; bursts of creativity, inspiration, and insights; lateral-thinking and problem-solving talents; and inventive and artistic faculties. The third mind development session in the Prelude Course of Abundance for Life shows you how to enter this state. All Paraliminal sessions and meditations help you enter this state, as well.
