Sadly, when the same children, were tested again at age 7, only 5% still demonstrated high
levels of creativity. In the years in between, they had been taught conform, conditioned by
repetitive mental programming.
Children are taught to colour between the lines, sit in neat little rows like soldiers, to do and say
what the other children did and said, and to do as they were told. Over time, they lose the
wonderful fearless spontaneity of youth and learn to suppress ideas and insights that are unusual
or different.
Most of us have experienced something similar. Fortunately, the human race is creative.
Creativity is your birth right, and you can tap into it at any time, no matter how long it has been
since you really used it.
What you think upon grows.
Whatever you allow to occupy your mind will be magnified in your life. Whether the subject of
your thoughts is good or bad, the law works without judgement. Any subject that you release
from your thoughts tends to diminish in your life, because what you do not use withers.
The more you think about your poor health, the worse it will become. The more you think of
yourself as healthy and well, the better will your body be. The more you think about lack, debt
and turmoil, the worse will your situation will become. The more you think of prosperity,
abundance, and success, the more of these things will you attract into your life.
The more you think about your complaints, grievances or injustices, the more such turmoil will
you receive, and the more you think of the good fortune you have had, the more good fortune
will come to you.
On the next page we’ll conclude this session with the parable of the Eagle and the Chicken.
