I am sitting here on Valentine’s day researching different methods of putting all of these theories into practice. I would like to be spending the day with my own special valentine, but since she is in China awaiting her US Visa to be approved, and I am here in the US, no amount of Positive Thinking is going to change that for this year. This is not to say that the Law of Attraction did not work for us. I firmly believe that the Law of Attraction is what got us together in the first place, and that once we were able to meet, everything else just fell into place, like we were meant to be together. I am forever grateful to this Universal Law for making things like this possible.
That being said, if the Law of Attraction can help two people that are 7000 miles apart find each other, fall in love, and become married, then think of what it can do for you if you apply it to your everyday life. Space and time are no longer a factor in having the things that you desire come to you. All you have to do is keep that desire strong in your mind, project those thoughts out, and keep a positive mental attitude that all things that you desire will come to you.
One of the best forms of positive thinking is through gratitude. Imagine that you have just completed a large project for work, one that you are very proud of, and nobody bothers to thank you for your efforts. How would you feel? The same applies to the universal Law of Attraction. If you truly desire something, and the universe supplies you with it, then you should take a moment and thank the universe for being so giving. Gratitude is one of the most powerful positive thoughts available to you, so use it often.
There are several methods and exercises that can help you change your way of thinking into a more positive plane, and in future updates I will tell you about some of the ones that I am trying and having success with. There are also a lot of good resources available on the internet, some of them free, but most in a very affordable range. I will go through some of my favorites in the next update and let you know where you can get them.
I am keeping this one short since I am doing research and trying to write at the same time, not really a good combination for me. I will do an update soon, so stay tuned.

Active and Passive Thoughts
Active thoughts are those thoughts that are the direct result of an impulse needed at the time an effort is made. More simply, it takes a direct, conscious thought to cause an action to be performed. When something enters your mind and you put attention to it, it is an active thought.
Passive thoughts are those thoughts that come as a result of an active effort. These can be anything from subconscious thought, emotions that arise because of some event, active thoughts received from others along the same lines of suggestion, and instincts. Passive thoughts in the form of instinct are passed down through heredity from your ancestors, as well as the continuing vibrations being sent out by the Primal Cause – the Big Bang at the beginning of existence.
In order to develop a mastery over your will, you must learn to control your active thoughts, and to keep control of them when outside influences try to call up emotional passive thoughts to take over. This is especially true when you are faced with some fear that you have, or with a situation that would normally make you angry. As you learn to master your active thoughts and keep them in tune with the positive plane, your passive thoughts will learn to follow along. If a circumstance arises that normally would cause you worry or fear, brace up and face that worry with the courage that you can overcome it. Most of the fears and worries that we face in everyday life are not as great as we imagine them, and once they pass, we are left wondering what it was that we were so worried about anyway.
In order to help train both your active and passive thoughts, and to send out the proper thoughts to the formless, thinking stuff in order to gain what you desire, you can follow a few simple mind exercises throughout the day, some of which have been listed previously. It is more important, however, to concentrate a little harder on mastering your mind just prior to going to sleep. The fresher your active thoughts are just before falling asleep, the more influence they will have on your subconscious passive thought while you are sleeping.
Think for a moment about a problem that you have had in the past, that kept you worried up until you fell asleep. I am sure that many of you will remember an instance when you woke up and immediately had a solution to the problem, when you could not find one in your active thoughts no matter how hard you tried. This is the way that the Law of Attraction works, both in subconscious thought and in the physical world. You needed a solution to a problem, and the universe seemed to supply you with a solution during a time when you were more open to receive it, while you slept.
Here is an exercise that will help you gain a little more control of your active and passive thoughts. Think of some thing, or chore, that you dislike doing but that needs to be done anyway – for some this could be washing the dishes, vacuuming the house, dusting, reading a chapter in a book, doing homework – it doesn’t really matter what the thing is, just that it needs to be done. Instead of putting off doing this thing until the last moment, think to yourself that you enjoy doing this thing and go ahead and do it. While you are engaged in this task, keep repeating in your mind that you do not hate this thing, that you enjoy it. It is better if this is a daily thing, so that you can practice this everyday. The more that you can make yourself dislike this thing, the closer you will be to getting in touch with the positive plane of thought and learning to master your own thoughts. You may never grow to actually like doing this thing, but after a short time, you may be able to convince yourself that you do not hate doing this thing. Any progress is better than none at all.
This should be the last part of the theories, so things should get a little more interesting from here on out. We will start really concentrating on learning better ways to control our thoughts and emotions, and how to use the Law of Attraction to benefit us in the way that it was meant to do, both in our personal lives and our business lives.
More to come soon, so stay tuned.

Part 2 – Positive and Negative Thought Planes
Your general mental attitude determines which plane of thought that your mind operates in, either the positive plane or the negative plane. If you typically have thought that are centered around making you feel stronger, happier, and more confident in your abilities, then you are operating on the positive plane. If you typically have thoughts centered around depression, anger, worry, and a general lack of confidence, then you are operating on the negative plane. There are for more people that operate on the negative plane, and the thoughts that are emitted from these people will have an influence upon your plane of thought.
Positive thoughts are far stronger than negative thoughts, so if you use active positive thoughts to change the way you think, then you will in time be able to block these negative thoughts and keep them from becoming an influence on your thinking. Everyone has the power to change the way that they allow their minds to think, it just takes a little practice and exercise.
One of the best things that you can do to change the thought influences that are around you is to surround yourself with the type of people that you would like to become. Most of the time, this is not an easy thing to do unless you are willing to change your circle of friends and join in with a more successful crowd. If this is not a possibility for you, then you will need to be very active in keeping your thoughts attuned to the positive plane of thoughts and make immediate corrections to any negative thoughts that enter your mind.
Any time you start to have thoughts of anger, jealousy, depression, hate, worry, or the biggest negative thought, fear, then stop what you are doing and make a serious conscious effort to change these thoughts into their positive opposites – calm, happy, love, confidence, courage. Once you learn to master the way that your mind works, you will find that you will be able to eliminate these negative thoughts, or at least change them to their positive opposites without so much active effort.
Keep repeating the exercise “I am asserting the mastery of my real self” at least once an hour, and then several times prior to going to bed at night. Use this exercise any time you feel a negative thought attempting to intrude upon your positive attitude, and always think of the life that you want to have, if it is not the life that you already have.
Part 3 will continue with active and passive thoughts, what they are, and where they come from.
