Thoughts are Things

William Walker Atkinson wrote:

“When we come to see that Thought is a force – a manifestation of energy – having a magnet-like power of attraction, we will begin to understand the why and wherefore of many things that have heretofore seemed dark to us.”

He continues:

“We are sending out thoughts of greater or less intensity all the time, and we are reaping the results of such thoughts.

Not only do our thought waves influence ourselves and others, but they have a drawing power – they attract to us the thoughts of others, things, circumstances, people, “luck,” in accord with the character of the thought uppermost in our minds.

Thoughts of Love will attract to us the Love of others; circumstances and surroundings in accord with the thought; people who are of like thought.

Thoughts of Anger, Hate, Envy, Malice and Jealousy will draw to us the foul brood of kindred thoughts emanating from the minds of others; circumstances in which we will be called upon to manifest these vile thoughts and will receive them in turn from others; people who will manifest inharmony; and so on.

A strong thought or a thought long continued, will make us the center of attraction for the corresponding thought waves of others. Like attracts like in the Thought World – as ye sow so shall ye reap. Birds of a feather flock together in the Thought World – curses like chickens come home to roost, and bringing their friends with them.”

This text by Atkinson makes us understand the main tenet of all the New Thought books:

“Thoughts are Things”

That’s why we, in Charisma School, place a big importance on your inner voice and on the control of your mind. They can literally define your life.

Once you consider a thought as an energetic form that is being nourished from the mental substances, then you can truly understand the implications of having a bad mental state.

And the more concentrated and emotionally charged these thoughts are, the stronger their effect. This works both for the positive in your life, as well as the negative.
