Most often what's running around in the mind are dozens of
non-essential thoughts, thoughts that actually get in the way of clear
thinking or creativity such as new thoughts that you or no one has thought of before,
referred to as creating/thinking outside the box).
There are many thoughts that linger and come around/up again and
again. We call persistent thoughts
incompletes. Thoughts left over from prior interactions. Often they are things
your mind is considering to be possibly true or not true—that is to say,
some considerations are outright lies ("The holocaust is not true" or
"We didn't land on the moon.") that you have yet to acknowledge
as lies. A lie causes a problem to persist. If you're a salesperson,
some of your negative unwanted thoughts may be your reasons and doubts
as to why the client might not buy from you. Such thoughts need to be
shared verbally with someone (or through journaling) before the sales
presentation. I say "verbally" because your thoughts (your withholds)
are always being communicated non-verbally. E.g. Your spouse
might not know that you're cheating, they just know that you're hiding
something, that you're not in present-time, that you've lost your ability to
"be" with
them. Love has become but a memory of an earlier experience of love
(love has become conceptualized).
Picture a child in school who is
still at effect of an abusive conversation at that
morning's breakfast table; the child worrying if her family will still
be there when she returns home. Such thoughts (incompletes) get in the way of
communication taking place between the teacher and the student. How about a surgeon who is being sued, or is cheating on
his/her spouse and is worrying about getting caught, and they are about
to operate on your brain?
How about thoughts of fears? I'm afraid I'm going to be fired. I'm
afraid my spouse is cheating on me. Should I tell my spouse about an
earlier transgression? Or, should I tell my teenager about my premarital
sex activities?
Perhaps you've noticed that when you are clear and free of heavy
thinking and worries you seem to magically create a parking space
easier. Allow that it has something to do with the fact that your mind
is spacious and free of considerations which then allows you to create,
to manifest your conscious intentions. When you manifest a result you
believe you didn't want it reveals that you were not clear about your
intention, that there is an incomplete/withhold in the space (often it's
your integrity at work, reminding you to acknowledge a
perpetration
you've been dragging around).
To master creating something, first learn how to create nothing, the
kind of nothing called space. The way to create space is to communicate
something, an incomplete, a thought or a consideration; then, place an
intention in the space. Another way to create space is to clean out your
closet; give away clothing that no longer serves you. Within a month the
closet will be full of clothes that more nearly represent you today.
Note: This time around, if you have in mind to buy a
specific item, resist buying one that is close but not exactly what you
envisioned, else, you'll have a closet (and life) full of less-than-satisfying
things. Shopping is an excellent way to practice manifesting your stated
intentions.
As a Communication-Skills Workshop Facilitator it is remarkable to
watch the effects of
The Clearing Processes during our weekend-long
Advanced Communication Workshop. It takes an entire afternoon,
three-hours of paired-sharing processes. Each partner rotates through
hundreds of questions that support one in continually looking into the
mind to find life's incompletes. Upon completion, workshop participants
are floating; they feel so good about themselves. Most are in a state of
acknowledgement (of being whole and complete), something they seldom
experience in their adult life. Their faces look 10-years younger. They
are bright, cheerful, clearer, approachable, and most importantly, loving.
