Secrets of Manifestation

5. Positivity vs Negativity

We saw that our passionate emotional desires, thoughts and words of negativity related to various aspects of life like health, wealth and relationship in our family, social and professional transactions spoil our success rate in utilizing Law of Attraction. Compared to ours, an enlightened spiritual person has a very high rate of success in utilizing Law of Attraction. After all, he has achieved spiritual Enlightenment itself, a gift that exceeds in magnificence and splendor as compared to any conceivable material goal. What is his secret? He knows how to control the negativity expressed from his heart, mind and body within threshold limits.

An enlightened spiritual person has the special ability to differentiate the Consciousness from his mind, body and heart. Due to this special ability he is able to control his passionate thoughts, words and desires of negativity well before they start doing damage.

He can retract his identification, at any time at his sweet will, from his mind and identify himself with Consciousness in his mind - just like changing gears in an automobile. We think but he observes his mind thinking. He can observe his thoughts arising from his mind.

Mind is an energy from which thoughts arise. Consciousness is a Field that pervades this energy of mind. He is able to separate Consciousness from his mind like separating oil from water. Once he identifies himself with Consciousness in his mind, he can easily observe the thoughts of his mind. We are not able to observe the thoughts of our mind because we are not able to differentiate the Field of Consciousness from the energy of mind as they are found to be completely miscible like alcohol and water in us.

Similarly, he is able to retract his identification from his body and identify himself with Consciousness in his body. We talk but he can observe his body talking.

Again, we don't even know from where our desires arise. But he knows that his desires arise from a subtle energy that is concentrated at a location where the heart is located. He is able to retract his identification from that subtle energy, technically known as causal body, and identify himself with Consciousness pervading that energy. Thus, he can observe the desires arising from his heart.

Fine, what fun is there in observing thoughts, words and desires? When we are immersed in negative thoughts, for an example, we brood over and over to get fully immersed in the thoughts. Since we have identified ourselves with our mind, we are fully engrossed in the thoughts fueling them with our energy; after all we are the fuel. We spend the entire day and/or night this way until we exhaust all our energy in fueling our thoughts, and then the mind engine comes to a grinding halt. By that time we have already set the universal Consciousness in motion by means of our negative thoughts.

But the case of enlightened spiritual person is quite the opposite. As soon as he finds himself trapped in his negative thoughts, he retracts his identification from his mind and identifies himself with Consciousness in his mind to enter the observation mode. Since he is the fuel to his thoughts, and he has retracted himself from his mind, the fuel tank of his thoughts goes to the reserve; it is only matter of minutes before the mind engine stops.

Thus by switching over to the Consciousness in his mind, body and heart to enter the observation mode, he effortlessly stops the thoughts, words and desires of negativity arising from his mind, body and heart.

Identifying oneself with Consciousness is the only way to naturally stop the thoughts, words and desires of negativity arising from one's mind, body and heart. However, we need not be enlightened for us to move our identity from mind, body and heart to Consciousness. There is no need for us to have the special ability of differentiating Consciousness from mind, body and heart. There is an indirect way - a set of three Rules to achieve the same result.

Consider an enlightened spiritual person who is identifying himself with Consciousness in his body. On observing the state of his body we note that there is complete absence of intolerance. The corollary is that if we can free our body from the state of intolerance, we can move our identity from our body to Consciousness in our body.

So, Rule Number 1 - Reduce your Intolerance to move your identity from your body to Consciousness in your body in order to effortlessly stop your words of negativity arising from your body.

Consider an enlightened spiritual person who is identifying himself with Consciousness in his mind. On observing the state of his mind we note that there is complete absence of anxiety. The corollary is that if we can free our mind from the state of anxiety, we can move our identity from our mind to Consciousness in our mind.

So, Rule Number 2 - Reduce your Anxiety to move your identity from your mind to Consciousness in your mind in order to effortlessly stop your thoughts of negativity arising from your mind.

Consider an enlightened spiritual person who is identifying himself with Consciousness in his heart. On observing the state of his heart we note that there is complete absence of malice. The corollary is that if we can free our heart from the state of malice, we can move our identity from our heart to Consciousness in our heart.

So, Rule Number 3 - Reduce your Malice to move your identity from your heart to Consciousness in your heart in order to effortlessly stop your desires of negativity arising from your heart.

Thus, control of words, thoughts and desires of negativity can be easily achieved by anyone by means of reduction of Intolerance, Anxiety and Malice.

What is the relationship between Intolerance-Anxiety-Malice and words-thoughts-desires of negativity?
