The Power of Thoughts

Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior by Dr. David Hawkins

We’ve established that consciousness is capable of discerning any change of energy to a degree of energy of log 10∞. This means that there is no possible event in the universe that isn’t detectable by the exquisite sensitivity of consciousness itself. The energy of human thought, though minute, is nonetheless absolutely measurable. A thought that emanates from the 100 level of consciousness [fear] will typically measure between log 10-800 million to 10-700 million microwatts. On the other hand, a loving thought from the consciousness level of 500 measures approximately log 10-35 million microwatts.

This whole statement helps to phrase the power that positive thoughts have in contrast to the power of negative thoughts. What this statement is saying is that when you measure the electric energy of a thought of love it has 1 followed by 700 million zeros more electricity than a thought of fear. To give you some order of magnitude, a trillion is only a one followed by 12 zeroes. And that difference only measures the difference in the electrical energy. We haven’t even touched upon the possibilities of the energies that can be photographed with Kirlian or corona discharge photography.

I was once introduced to a mental exercise involving holding a small weighted object hanging from a string at arms-length. The objective is to try to move the object with your mind while keeping your body still. I was amazed that I was able to control the movement of the object to go back and forth or in circles and even stop the object with very minimal thought.

There are two possibilities as to how this exercise worked. The first possibility is that my conscious desire became manifested in imperceptible minor movements of my body that then created what I was trying to do. The second possibility is that energy created by my mind moved the object. Regardless of which is true there is a powerful lesson available to us.

The thoughts we have are hourly becoming reality. Whether we are sending out energy to create in reality the thoughts we have or we are subconsciously making changes to the world around us to create that world we conceive of in our mind is not critical to distinguish at this point. The important thing is to recognize the power that we have and to keep in our minds a clear picture of the things we want.

If you have negative thoughts do not despair, they have amazingly less power to create. However, how much difference can you make in your life if you replace the negative with only a little for positive images of what you do want?
