Controlling Your Mind Power - Learn to Trust the Law of Cause and Effect

[Amelia Richardson]

Every cause has an effect, and every effect has a cause. How do you
determine what is cause and what is effect? Do you have a role in
producing either? If so, just what is your role? If you do not have a
role, is there someone or something that plays a role for you in this
cause and effect law?
These questions go straight to the heart of every thing and every
condition that exists in our world, including ourselves. The rule of
thumb that I have learned and use to make the distinction between
cause and effect is the following. Anything that exists that is
perceptible to the physical senses, i.e., sight, hearing, taste, touch
and smell, is in the realm of effect. Generally, all that exists that
is not perceptible to the physical senses is in the realm of cause.
All causes that relate to me exist within me, just as I believe all
causes that relate to you exist within you. Cause consists of the
thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and mental images in my mind, my
consciousness. Cause consists of the never ending string of
possibilities presented to me in consciousness from which I choose.
By choosing from the possibilities, and making that choice the object
of my focus and observation (cause), I know what effect to expect.
Here is the rub. If I do not consciously choose from the endless
stream of possibilities, I inadvertently, unconsciously make choices
(cause) anyway.
By neglecting to consciously make choices of the thoughts ideas, and
mental images on which to focus, unconscious choices are made for me,
drawn from my past experiences. When the effect of that inadvertent,
unconscious choice (cause) comes into my experience (effect) I will
likely look at other effects as the cause.
Be forewarned. Occasional, half-hearted, focus cannot be viewed as
cause and is not likely to change much in your life outcomes. A pound
of salt dropped into Lake Michigan is not going to change the lake
into a salt water lake. If, however, you direct a powerful stream of
salt into the lake over a significant period, it will make noticeable
changes in the makeup of the lake.
I trust that you can now see, as I have seen, that controlling your
mind power is critical to your success in accessing more of the riches
of life. The riches are there for you. It truly does not matter what
the conditions of your life have been up to this point.
You can begin now, or continue, to shift your consciousness in the
direction of your desires. Make your desires the object of your focus
(cause) and you will no longer have to live in fear and worry in
relation to the effects you experience.
Once you feel, really feel that you have accepted the object of your
focus into your deeper mind (cause) trust the Law of Cause and Effect
to do its work. It must produce the desired outcome (effect) if you
let it. Do not look out upon the effects around you seeking the
appearance of your desire. Each time you look into the world of
effects and do not see it, you will likely begin to reinforce your old
belief that you DO NOT HAVE IT. You in effect, begin to push your
desire away before it can materialize.
This I know for sure. You can claim or re-claim control of your own
mind power. You are the most miraculous of all living beings on earth.
You are the owner of a mind that is so stupendous, that as you truly
begin controlling your mind power and consciously using it, there is
no dream that you can dream that you cannot achieve.
