Your Dream Life Doesn’t Exist
16th February 2008
Everything in your experience has been created by your direct or indirect thoughts.
The scratch on the side of your car was created by you thinking about keeping the car in excellent condition whilst mixing fear into that thought.
The thief who breaks into your home targeted your home because you were a vibrational match to the thief. You had practiced thoughts that were in alignment with the thief stealing from you.
The debt collectors knocking at your door were manifested out of a fear and worry of paying your bills with little money.
You create it all. You do not need to think of the specific thing in order for it to manifest. You get what you put out… so if you put out negative emotions, you’re going to get negative circumstances. If you put out positive emotions, you’re going to get positive circumstances.
The depressed remain depressed for long periods of time because they put out thoughts and emotions of feeling miserable and unhappy. They continually bring themselves down by focusing on the negative aspects which only keeps them depressed.
All of the above is just “what is”. Who really cares if you’ve manifested a scratch on the side of the car? Obviously you do… but things happen, life goes on. Does it really matter if you attracted the thief to break into your home? Does it really matter if you’ve been depressed for several years?
No.
No one is perfect. No “guru” will ever manifest perfect situations all of the time. The perfect life where nothing bad ever happens is imaginary and can not exist for you or anyone else. Why? Because you’re continually coming up with new desires and you can’t help it!
As soon as you achieve one goal, you will be in a new standing point and cannot help but have new desires from where you are now. This new standing point will be full of contrast and will be the birthing place of your new desires. If you manifest $100,000 you’ll soon be wanting more and more. $500,000 may be your next goal - this cycle will continue forever until you make peace with where you are right now.
Instead of “being happy with what you’ve got”, make peace with life and allow it to give you good and bad hands. Don’t look at it as either as good or bad, but instead look at them as “what is”. “That’s just what is” … “That’s just this situation right now”.
You can manifest things that you want, but it won’t give you sustained happiness. That dream life where money flies through the window and nothing unwanted ever happens will never exist. The sooner you realize it the sooner you will make peace with your current situation.
Take a look at the so called “gurus” and what they’re getting up to. Joe Vitale from “The Secret” manifested a robbery in his last trip to Hollywood. Louise Hay, founder of Hay House manifested cancer and overcome it. Cathy Goodman (who also starred in “The Secret”) overcame breast cancer and has now unfortunately re-manifested it.
You CAN have what you want, but it very rarely will work out the way you wanted it to. Maybe you wanted a new promotion at your work, but instead you got offered a job promotion in a different town, city or state.
By working WITH life instead of against it, you will experience fulfillment without the need to add anything external to your situation.
You’re already perfect and so are your circumstances.
I believe that it is good to control our thoughts (although I believe that it is easier said than done).
I believe that, quite often, we create circumstances in our life by the types of thoughts that dominate our minds.
I believe that we can harmonize our thought patterns with our social environment in such a way that we can be happy - most of the time.
BUT, - and please pardon me in advance for the heresy I am about to speak - I believe that it is NOT true that everything in our experience has been created by our direct or indirect thoughts.
I am not an expert in this area. But I am (at least I think that I am) a good observer of life. And I observe that there are things that happen in our lives that we have absolutely no control over. I observe that sometimes things happen that have nothing to do with what or how we think.
May I give an example? In the wee hours of the morning of June 24, 2004, there was an underseas earthquake off the shore of Indonesia. There was a tsunami as a result of that earthquake, and that tsunami was responsible for the death of more than 225,000 people in 11 countries. It is inconceivable for me to think that the thoughts of all 225,000 of those people were somehow instrumental in bringing this natural disaster into their lives.
I could be wrong. But it is my observation that, despite what some “Positive Thought Gurus” would have us believe, we sometimes do fall victim to what might be termed a “twist of fate”.
It is not my intention here to be argumentative or contrary. I believe, and would encourage everyone to believe that we can control our lives by controlling our thoughts. It requires more strength of character to act according to this belief than it does to blame our circumstances on “fate”. And, almost always, we will fare much better in life by determining to control what and how we think than by not making the effort to do so.
However, if we convince ourselves that EVERY thing that happens in our life is a result of some thought or belief that we have … well, I think that it has the potential of setting a trap for ourselves and then deliberately stepping into that trap. And that trap is the “second guessing” of our thoughts and beliefs.
It is good to consider our thoughts and beliefs - to give conscious consideration to what we think and believe. But, it might not be all that constructive to begin to wonder, “what did I think that caused someone to scratch my car? or break into my house? or …?”
I I hope that I have added some worthwhile conversation to this blog.

Hey Will,
You raise some brilliant points and ones that I’m sure most people will have thought themselves at one point or another.
I completely agree that absolutely no positive outcome can come from looking at unwanted circumstances that have happened in the past. It’s unproductive and will ultimately keep you where you’re at because you’re giving attention to unwanted circumstances.
My opinion was once similar to your own, however since hearing Abraham-Hicks (pure positive energy) speak on this subject, my views have changed. Did the people who died as a result of 7/11 hold their thoughts on death and a terrorist attack? Probably not. But the group consciousness of human beings contributed to this terrorist attack indefinitely.
I believe those who died were in alignment with this attack. Not by focusing on the attack itself, but by giving their attention to terrorism and feeling fearful the majority of the time. They were perfectly aligned.
However, a terrorist attack is far different from a natural disaster, right?
Considering that everything is energy, your thoughts and natural disasters included, I believe its entirely possible for a natural disaster to have been created due to mass human consciousness as well. It’s all inter-connected in ways in which none of us can truly understand.
Mass consciousness is changing dramatically. Maybe there’s only a small handful of humans contributing to a new earth at the moment, but this awakening is happening whether we can see it or not.
Thanks for your valuable insights and contribution, Will! I love hearing from you. I hope others can share their opinions on this subject too.
