A friend of mine from high school days, Joe, \u00a0called Wednesday night to tell me of a new insight he had. \u00a0He has been reading about a theory that believes our “unconscious mind” or “higher self” is constantly working to answer whatever questions we ask. \u00a0So for instance if I ask, “Why am I always so sick?” \u00a0my unconscious will search for and provide evidence and reasons for why I am always so sick. \u00a0Joe went on to say that if he simply learned to ask the question in a more positive way, he would start to see positive changes in his life. \u00a0For instance he might start thinking, “I wonder how I am going to start being healthier and stronger?” \u00a0Or he might ask, “What can I do to be healthy and pain free?”, and his mind would start showing him ways to get healthier and stronger.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
This seemed like a entirely new concept to him, despite the fact that he realizes he has seen or heard the same thing in many different ways in the past. \u00a0There was just something about the way this was presented which struck him as important, relevant and powerful. \u00a0He realized that he has a constant and “loud” self-talk mechanism, which is almost always active. \u00a0He also realized that his self-talk mechanism<\/span> is frequently negative in nature. \u00a0So he has begun experimenting with monitoring his self-talk and looking for negatively framed questions which he can change to a positive question<\/span>.\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I discussed with him the fact that Dr. Ryce<\/span> talks in several of his presentations about how the mind in a purely evidential device, and that it can only give us the evidence we ask it for. \u00a0So for instance if I ask for evidence of how somebody did something to make me angry, or hurt my feelings that is all I will see. \u00a0However if I ask, \u00a0“What am I doing to create the reality I am experiencing?”, that is what I will see.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, whether you like the way Dr. Ryce<\/span> talks about the mind as an evidential<\/span> device, or you like the idea of monitoring the questions you ask yourself in your mind, why not try being more aware during the next few days of the creative power of your thoughts and choose the positive ones! \u00a0Like Mike Dooley, (www.tut.com),\u00a0\u00a0always says at the bottom of his emails, “Thoughts become things. \u00a0Choose the good ones! \u00a0<\/div>\n
