Once you realize your mind is a powerful source of creation, it is important to learn to follow this one simple guideline: Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you do not want.
One of the best explanations of this is called developing one pointed thought. Ghalil, of Professional Dreamer, describes our thoughts as arrows being sent out into the direction of our desires. One-pointed thought, to me, means to keep your thoughts all pointed at the things you want.
When we are still creating unconsciously, we are in the habit of sending arrows of thought out in every direction. We vacillate, we change our minds, and we follow a whim for a few days, and then decide we want something else. This is not an effective means of creation.
Unconscious creators tend to spend much of the time thinking about things they do not want. What do you suppose they are getting? That is right. Things they do not want. How fun is that? However, when you understand how to direct your arrows–how to consistently think about the things that you DO want–the magic begins.
Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you do not want. Pay attention to what you are thinking about. Certainly be kind to yourself along the way, but notice where your thoughts are. Are they on something you want? Or are you simply ruminating over all the things you would like different in your life? For the conscious creator, the time of “mind on auto-pilot” is over. Grab the reigns and begin to experience the life YOU choose and desire.
It might be helpful to think of yourself as supervisor over a huge construction crew. Each time you think a thought, the crew responds and begins to build the construction of your thought. You say, “I want a large house of brick” and the crew begins to gather the materials together. Perhaps you think this thought often, and crew is happily underway. Then you say, “No, I think I prefer stucco, and I would like it to be on the lake front–actually over the water.” Therefore, the crew changes plans and begins work on the lake house. “No, maybe a mountain cabin in the shape of an A-Frame.” Again, the crew stops what it has been working on, and begins preparation on your mountain home. Let us say you keep sending out these commands for a long time. Can you imagine the chaos? Soon you are complaining, “Where is my house? It has been long enough to build a house. Where is it?” By now, perhaps your crew has started and stopped work on 1200 different houses! They would probably like to actually get ANY house build, but you are the supervisor, and the crew simply follows your orders.
Our thoughts are like these orders–these arrows we send out. Connect with the creative nature of your thoughts and use them wisely and with focused intention.
