Our Thoughts, Our World

Thoughts can be defined as an idea, plan, opinion, picture or anything that is formed in your mind. The concept of thoughts having the power to create, alter and affect your reality is not new. People have been claiming to do so for years. Going by the name of Mentalists, these people practice what is known as “Telekinesis” or “Psychokinesis”. Mentalists claim to have the ability to change, move or dematerialize an external object using the sheer power of their mind.

The authenticity of Mentalists is a topic too vast and unresolved to be debated.

Yet, one topic that has persisted and aroused the curiosity of many is the effect of Human thoughts on the physical world. Many orators and inspirational speakers have insisted time and again in different words, using different adjectives, that our thoughts have the power to change the World, and by controlling our thoughts, we can control the World. People may have different views about the accuracy of this versus the easy moneymaking scheme that the motivators may have in mind, but I personally have only one question. If so many people believe that their thoughts can change their World, there must be some truth to it: What is the science behind such logic? How do the thoughts work?

Dr. Masaru Emoto is a famous Japanese energy scholar and author, who conducted an experiment, which examined the effect of the exposure of glasses of water to positive thoughts and prayer. He found that the crystals that were formed after freezing these exposed glasses of water were much more beautifully formed than any normal glass of water. He claims that human thoughts and feelings have a direct observable effect on the structural formation of ice crystals. The human body is 2/3^rds water. If human thoughts have such an effect on water, how adversely would it affect our body? Scientific scholars, however, have dismissed Dr. Masaru Emoto’s experiments as pseudoscience, but it does give us a lot to think about. Even if negative thoughts do not create bad crystals, positive thoughts certainly create beautiful ones.

According to Quantum Physics, our physical reality is proven to be a very elaborate mirage, which is the result of a particular frequency. Therefore, by changing, amplifying or altering this frequency, you can change your physical and current reality. Since thoughts also produce this frequency, by changing how and what you think, you can change the frequency and consequently, your reality. Every time you entertain a particular thought, you emit a very specific and corresponding frequency. Keeping in line with this perspective, your thoughts directly shape your reality and your reality is exactly what your thoughts make it.

Benjamin Disrael once said, “You will never go higher than your thinking.” This is one of the truest statements ever made about our thoughts. Before any action is performed, it has to originate in our thoughts. Even if it is an on-the-spot action, the thought should have occurred before. So the higher you think, the more the space for you to accomplish things. By setting the bar very low, you will never be able to achieve anything above the bar, because there has to be a thought before any action. Humans, also, have the tendency to dwell and overthink negative thoughts, thus, spawning inaction. Moreover, our thoughts are converted into action – intentionally or unintentionally. Freudian Slips, for example, are the unintentional errors in speech that are generally attributed to the presence and motivation of some unconscious thought. Willingly or unwillingly, our thoughts are constantly converted into action, and action creates our reality. By reigning in and controlling our thoughts, we can effectively control our action and therefore, our reality.

Buddha said, “Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.” The extent to which your thoughts affect your reality is unknown but it cannot be denied that your thoughts have a direct effect on yourself. The more positive your thoughts, the more positive is the effect on yourself. The more negative the thoughts, the more negatively you are affected. So let’s be positive! After all, what do we have to lose?
