3 – The Power of Energy

When I started studying the power of thought almost twenty years ago, I really wanted to believe what I was reading. Was it really possible that thoughts were
this powerful? That they consisted of vibrating electrical energy that attracted like thoughts and circumstances into our lives? Back then, there was little, if any
scientific support for the words written by so many eminently wise, respected and famous people.

I remember reading James Allens’ “As a man thinketh”, written at the turn of the twentieth century. As I read, I found myself spiritually believing, but if I am
honest, intellectually doubting. I read phrases like :-

• “A man is literally what he thinks”

• “All that you accomplish or fail to accomplish with your life is the direct result of your thoughts”.
• “Our life is what our thoughts make it. A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will
alter towards him”.
• “You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you”.
James Allen 1864-1912, British-born American Essayist, Author of ''As a Man Thinketh''

The concept that a thought was electrical energy, that mixed with emotion, was a powerful force of attraction and influence, was beyond my simple logical
brain.

So, I kept my thoughts and spiritual beliefs to myself, until I could locate enough strong scientific evidence to support them. Thankfully, human intelligence
has moved on in leaps and bounds in recent years, and the evidence now exists that supports what the wise philosophers were saying all along. This chapter
presents a selection of that evidence for you to make up your own mind.

The Evidence

Physically, we are all energy, and everything within and around us is made up of energy. We are all part of one great energy field. Things that we
perceive to be solid and separate are in reality just various forms of our essential energy which is common to all. We are all one, even in a literal,
physical sense.

The energy is vibrating at different rates of speed, and thus has different qualities, from finer to denser. Thought is a relatively fine, light form of energy and
therefore very quick and easy to change. Matter is relatively dense, compact energy, and therefore slower to move and change. Within matter there is great
variation as well. Living flesh is relatively fine, changes quickly, and is easily affected by many things. A rock is a much denser form, slower to change, and Page185
