Excerpt from “The Secrets to Creating a Life Beyond Limits” by Rik Schnabel of www.LifeBeyondLimits.com.au
There are invisible streams that run through the air called radio waves. You can tune your radio’s frequency and hear the sound through the speakers as easily as you can switch stations by changing frequencies. You can project SMS messages across to another mobile phone as easily as you can tune into the 16 trillion dollars that move across the globe each day. Just as you have faith in radio signals and SMS, you can expand your faith into your ability to create your desires. The frequency of abundance is faith in abundance and with faith all is possible for those who believe.
But do we really communicate our thoughts through the air? Cleve Backster, a former interrogation specialist with the Central Intelligence Agency, in 1966 operated a training school in New York for police officers in the use of the polygraph equipment or lie detectors. Backster came upon a fascinating discovery when attempting to measure the rate at which water rose from the roots of a plant to its leaves. He attached the electrodes of a psychogalvanic reflex meter (PGR), a device for measuring electrical skin resistance in people, to the leaves of a Dracaena Massangeana plant and contrary to expectation, discovered that rather than measuring a moisture change, the PGR began tracing a reaction pattern typical of a human subject suffering a brief emotional stimulation. In Backster’s words: “I decided to try to apply some equivalent to the threat-to-well being principle, a well-established method of triggering emotionality in humans. I first tried to arouse the plant by immersing a plant leaf in hot coffee, but there was no measurable response. After a 9 minute interim, I decided to obtain a match and burn the plant leaf. At the instant of this decision, at 13 minutes and 45 seconds of chart time, there was dramatic change in the PGR tracing pattern in the form of an abrupt and prolonged upward sweep of the recording pen. I had not moved, or touched the plant, so the time of the PGR pen activity suggested to me that the tracing might have been triggered by the mere thought of the harm I intended to inflict upon the plant.” If our thoughts develop specific frequencies, could it be possible that plants are able to interpret these frequencies? And if plants can, can we?
Have you ever visited a couple, who before you arrived, had a huge argument? You walked into the room and you could cut the air with a knife. All the while, they are smiling and all appears harmonious. Everything you see conflicts with what you are sensing. However, what you are sensing is their invisible communication, their frequencies or their vibrations. Like the vibration that continues after twanging an elastic band, the couple’s vibrations continue to communicate anger as they think about their quarrel. Now as they smile and act as though nothing is wrong, they begin to change their thoughts and alter their vibrations. Soon their angry feelings disappear and everyone is laughing and having a good time.
You may have heard of the Law of Attraction, but in case you haven’t, I’ll explain the premise simply.
Everything around you is composed of energy; you, me, the table, the chair, the ocean, the sand, even your thoughts are made up of energy. This is one of the most basic laws of physics. Energy vibrates at varying frequencies otherwise known as vibrations. Anger vibrates at a different frequency to love. Thoughts of success vibrate differently to those of fear or loss. The most significant aspect of this knowledge is that your vibrations stem from your thoughts and they either attract or repel other vibrations depending upon their sameness. In other words, same energy attracts same energy or like attracts like such as birds of a feather flock together. The Law of Attraction states, that if you’re angry you will attract other angry people and so angry events. Conversely, if you’re happy you attract happy people and events. It doesn’t mean that anger will disappear from your life altogether, though happiness will surely feature in your life.
Alfred Tomatis, a French physician studying the effects of sound and speech on the nervous system, discovered that every cell of the skin is an ‘ear’ that picks up sound waves. Sound is also a system of frequencies and vibrations. Have you ever noticed how certain notes from a speaker will rattle a glass or an object in the room? This is a result of a specific sound vibration matching the vibration of the object it is vibrating. In other words, the note and the object have the same vibration or same energy. In music this is called the principle of Sympathetic Resonance. Any musician knows that in an auditorium full of middle C tuning forks (designed to vibrate at precisely 256 cycles per second), only one of them need be struck for all the rest to resonate in sympathy. If you tuned two identical guitars to the same key, placed them just meters from each other and plucked the D-string, a remarkable thing will occur. The D-vibration will move through the air and vibrate only the D-string on the other guitar at the same rate. None of the other strings will vibrate, just the D-string. Vibration finds its twin.
This may help you to understand how some people who seem to have less talent than you get more of what they want from life. They are vibrating success and therefore attracting it into their lives. You know that your thoughts alter your emotions and determine your vibrations, thus attracting the contents of your thoughts into your reality. You have an infinite number of options day of your conscious life. You can choose to be happy or you can choose to be sad about the events you experience in your life. Have thoughts of lack and you attract poverty. Have prosperous thoughts and you attract prosperity — your vibrations will ensure you do.
Objects would not mirror a sound if they had no sound of their own, they would not resonate. If we are in love, we resonate to another, to the degree that the resonance may so fill us that to everyone around us we hum with an unexpected radiance. Become aware of your energy and vibration. We seem to moving into the logical mind and sacrificing our sensory perceptions and deeper distinctions of the Universe around us. Could it be we are choosing to ignore the subtleties of our power of perception and creation? Joseph Chilton Pearce in his book, The Biology of Transcendence recites a study conducted in the late 1960’s by professors at the University of Tubingen, Germany, who noticed: “A serious drop in sensory perception and general awareness in their students” The tests involving over 4,000 test subjects was summarized thus: “Our sensitivity to stimuli is decreasing at a rate of about 1% per year. Delicate sensations are simply being filtered out of our consciousness.” It went on to state specifically that: “15 years ago people could distinguish 300,000 sounds; today many children can’t go beyond 100,000 and the average is 180,000. 20 years ago the average subject could detect 350 different shades of a particular color. Today the number is 130.”
Until Semyon and Valentina Kirlian developed Kirlian photographs, auras didn’t exist in the logical minds of most people. It was impossible to see the aura, streams of light shooting off like sun-flares all around us painting our emotional state with colored light. Later it was discovered that the Kirlian photographs also revealed a match between the body’s flare-points seen in the photographs and the traditional power-points in the Qi body represented in acupuncture charts. Mae Wan Ho in her book, The Entangled Universe states: “Invisible quantum waves are spreading out from each of us and permeating into all other organisms. At the same time, each of us has the waves of every other organism entangled without our own make-up… We are constantly co-creating and re-creating ourselves and other organisms in the universe, shaping our common futures, making our dreams come true and realizing our potentials and ideals.” So how does this aid your choice to create? Your emotions emit a vibrational energy that extends beyond you and seeks out same energy and repels opposing energy. What you choose to think most you attract; it’s really that simple. If by thinking of wealth you respond with feelings of joy, as though you have already attracted it into your life, you will vibrate and attract wealth. Alternatively, if you think of wealth and your emotions shift to fear or feelings of lack, you will vibrate and attract lack. If you choose to bring success into your life, project the thoughts and feelings of a successful person and you will shift your vibration and attract success.
You may have heard it said that “We are all connected.” It is said that our planet is a sea of swimming energy that is interconnected, that we are in fact all connected. It is our feelings that connect us and the power is awesome when we do. Think of the warmth created by a loving family, spending time together at Christmas. Think of an entire nation watching their team win gold at the Olympics and consider the enormous energy that it creates. Now expand this to the entire planet each advocating a united cause, imagine the enormous energy that it would create. Our feelings have the ability to truly connect us and producing a most powerful vibration. I would argue that if only 20% of the world’s population embraced peace, it would have the power to influence the rest of the world, and it all starts with you. Opening your heart is choosing to communicate with your heart and altering your vibration in productive and positive ways, because feelings connect us. In Embraced by the Light, Betty J. Eadie states, “We are all collectively bonded to each other while on earth, united in this one supreme purpose — to learn to love each other.”
Simply choose your desired vibration. You can alter your thoughts, which will alter your emotions and alter your energy and in using the Law of Attraction you will attract whatever you project. So by choosing to think prosperous thoughts, you will begin to feel prosperous and therefore attract prosperity into your life.
Try this. Sit down, get comfortable and begin to relax the muscles in your body and begin to create your dream home in your imagination. What does it look like? What color is it? Now imagine it located in your dream location and your dream car is parked in the garage. Maybe it is situated on a tropical island and you see yourself and your loved one(s) standing on a jetty, looking up at your home. Maybe the temperature’s warm, there’s a soft, gentle breeze caressing your skin and the water’s like a millpond. A luxurious yacht has come to collect you and take you to the mainland. You have all the money you need to live the life of your dreams, there is nothing to worry about. You own all these things outright. Now really imagine this and I would like you to focus upon what you think it would feel like to be that wealthy. It may help to close your eyes and really imagine it, see it in your mind and really feel it in your gut as if it were true, as if it was happening to you right now. Change the images if it works better for you. The moment you are able to feel a shift, you have successfully altered your vibrational energy; feelings are the key. Hold this feeling (and you can), and slowly but surely your outcomes, your world, will alter to be as you imagined it to be. Maybe a yacht and island won’t fall from the sky, but you will certainly be vibrating wealth. In doing so, what may first appear to be miraculous changes, will begin to occur in your life. Similar to a thymus thump, you can also change your vibration by vigorously beating your chest like a gorilla while smiling and thinking of someone you love. Try it until you feel the energy emitting from your sternum, the v-point where your ribs meet. Again you have successfully altered your vibration. This is a good exercise if you are feeling sad or have low energy levels. Beating your chest like a gorilla will elevate your state, as I’m sure it does for gorillas!
Everything that is created first began with a thought. You cannot invent or create something new without first thinking of it and your body will conform to your thoughts. You cannot become motivated without first having thoughts that motivate. What you think about most is communicated via your body through vibrations, so isn’t it any wonder that your thoughts influence your emotions. Think about it this way. The beating of your heart creates a vibration and it pumps blood through your body. Run fast for a good distance and your heart will beat faster and harder, altering your body’s vibration. This in turn will pump more blood through your body at a faster rate, which alters the color of your skin, speeds up your breathing and brings perspiration to the surface of your skin. And it all started with the thought to run. We know however that vibrations move beyond us and as in Cleve Backster’s experiment with plants that we can also receive thoughts. But how far do thoughts travel?
In 1920, William McDougall ran a series of experiments at Harvard University, USA, to see how long it took for rats to escape from a maze filled with water. To his surprise, he found that successive generations learned the escape route more rapidly. The startling revelations were found when other research teams in Scotland and Australia, repeating McDougall’s experiment discovered that their rats began their learning at the same level of expertise reached by McDougall’s last generation of rats. Somehow the thoughts or the result of them, the skill had traversed from the USA to Australia to Scotland. As if some collective unconscious or as a field or vibration of energy common to all rats. This experiment is similar to the
‘Hundredth Monkey’ experiment. The Japanese monkeys, Macaca fuscata, were observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years. In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. They liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but found the dirt unpleasant. An 18-month-old female named Imo solved the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream and taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too. This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys in full view of the scientists. Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes. The adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement while other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes. In the autumn of 1958 a miracle occurred. A certain number of monkeys were washing sweet potatoes; the exact number is not known, but let us suppose that one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes. Let’s further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes. Then it happened! By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them. The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough! A further miracle was observed by the scientists as the practice of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea. Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes. Thus, when a critical number achieves awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind. The Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the conscious property of these people. But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes in to a new awareness, a field or vibration is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!
Vibrations are magnetic energy that flow through the air, to what distance I do not know, although I believe the field is infinite. While I am not certain how far these energies travel it is certain they will affect the thinker and most likely those around them. Your thoughts and feelings alter your vibrations and these can alter your very being. Your extreme thoughts can change your physical world. Remain angry and it is likely you will affect the condition of your heart adversely. Stay anxious and you will feel it in the pit of your stomach, you may even grow an ulcer. Resist speaking up about issues that concern you and it constricts your throat or possibly even your breathing. Think something is hard for long enough and you may create a headache.
Vibrations alter state, such as water molecules vibrating at a specific frequency may alter their physicality and turn into ice. By heating ice, you again alter its vibration and it will return to water. Continue to alter the vibration with heat and the water will change to steam. Just like your thoughts, different vibrations alter the outcome. Nothing is destroyed, but something is changed.
You can choose your thoughts to change your vibrations and alter your physicality. Low self-esteem and self-abuse are clear examples of this. Observe the slumped shoulders, the setback, sullen eyes, the down-in-the-mouth demeanor. These are all manifestations of a low vibration or low self-esteem. An alcoholic or drug user changes their state which often attracts low self-esteem and sometimes disaster and self-ruin. We can equally use this understanding to attract success. So what could you think or do to vibrate success?
Have you ever thought of someone and then they telephoned you? Vibrations are just like a radio frequency that flies through the air and is intercepted by matching the frequency via a radio. There are many frequencies or vibrations that we cannot see but, like radio frequencies and television signals, they exist. Light is also a vibration. There are colors in the spectrum of possible colors that your eyes cannot see, but that can be seen by a snake. Dogs hear frequencies of sound (also energy) that we cannot hear; these are out of our range.
Everything vibrates, albeit at different frequencies. Vibrations vary between high and low, fast and slow. Lower and slower vibrations are material and higher and faster vibrations are spiritual. In fact, the faster and higher the vibration, the more difficult they are to see with the naked eye. It is easy to see the slower vibrating table, but not the higher vibrating thought. It is no surprise that the higher the vibration, the less you see and the less you believe in their existence and it is this lack of belief that will keep you in a low vibration. We see what we believe and we believe what we see.
There are so many ways to increase your wealth through high vibration. However, a self-made millionaire who becomes wealthy by investing in stocks will attest that investing in the stock market is the only way to become wealthy, just as a real estate magnate will say that the best way to become wealthy is by investing in real estate. The common ground in both examples is that you can be certain that each investor believed they would become wealthy and as a result each chose a high vibration and became wealthy.
If you look at any object under a powerful electron microscope, you will see a swimming mass of energy, or vibrations. Money is equally made up of energy and your prosperous thoughts and feelings attract the same vibrations, namely wealth. Your vibrations attract like energy and particle by particle, they shift the energy of the Universe to create your physical and material life – Thought Proceeds Form.
Every successful sportsperson can see themselves succeeding even before the race is run. Equally, an athlete who is in tune with their thoughts can tell you the precise moment they realized that they were going to lose. The moment you think you are going to lose you have lost. It is not at the end of the race, for you have lost well before the finish line is in sight. But this is not about winners and losers. This is a belief that everyone can attain, not just a select few. The truth is, few know how and fewer believe that they are able to achieve more than they have already achieved. So take your foot off the brake and hit the accelerator of life.
