The Principle of Thought is the crucial power behind life as we know

it. If we did not have the ability to transform the pure energy of
Mind into ideas and images — forms of perception — we could not
see life. Thought as a Principle is simply the power that provides the
impetus for our minds to communicate through the brain and the
senses.  The Principle of Thought empowers thinking to happen. We
put the formless into  forms, and whatever we create appears to be
our life. Since all of us are doing this on our own, no one truly
knows another’s life; we live in our own separate thought-created
realities, using our own free will to choose what we make of the
time and circumstances into which we are born.

The ability to think our way through life is an extraordinary power —
yet it is the essence of who we are, so we take it for granted. Most
of the time, we don’t even recognize or appreciate that we are the
thinkers, making up our lives moment-to-moment. Yet that power,
once recognized, gives us the freedom to change, at will, in any
given moment.

If someone is feeling victimized, it is not because they are truly a

victim of their circumstances, no matter how di cult those
circumstances may be. It is because they are creating victim-
thoughts about those circumstances and feeling increasingly
trapped and insecure. When they wake up to the power of thought,
they can quiet that victim thinking, allow their heads to clear, and
arrive at a whole new set of thoughts which might contain the
answer to how to change their life. When I rst heard that, I found it
hard to believe. But in the 30 years I have done this work, I have
seen it happen so many times, including to myself, that I know for
sure it is true. As soon as our thinking changes, our whole
experience of our reality changes.

In a way, of course that would have to be true. Like all living things,
we are born equipped to survive for our natural lifetime on this
earth. What greater survival mechanism could we have than a
“psychological immune system,” the power to change our minds,
see things more clearly, make new choices, look in a di erent
direction, have fresh ideas.

So … here is a 2-1/2-minute basic explanation of the Principle of

Thought, part of the series that will continue next with the Principle
of Consciousness. You can nd a general overview of the Three
Principles here, and The Principle of Mind here. And here is
Thought:

“Fresh ideas”? I wonder where these fresh ideas come

from?What are your thoughts on colonisation of the
mind?
