Planting Thoughts I AUTHOR BARRY NICOLAOU Law of Attraction Coach www.barrynicolaou.com n the gardening world we have a fairly good idea of how things work. If a new seed is to survive and grow, we can generally make it happen by manipulating the environment. We know this because we set up circumstances that all but ensures a survival outcome. For example, if we’ve gone to effort to plant a seed, we’ve also looked at the circumstances toward which that seed will grow. These circumstances include shade, sunlight, water, nourishment, nearby weeds, soil etc… What I’ve discovered is that certain people have impressed their own subconscious thoughts with an outcome to achieve a desired result. They’ve looked at the conditions they want to experience and planted appropriate seeds (thoughts) to bring about favourable circumstances (this is done without ANY doubt of its growth). While the rest of their friends plant any seed that comes across their path, these people are specific green-thumbs and have a definitive knowing of a successful outcome. Planting seeds for survival in the gardening world is a form of Intention; we intend for things to grow and we set up the conditions before hand to ensure our labour has a fruitful outcome. The one constant trait I have found in these people is using their imagination for the ‘toying’ with the idea they want to manifest. They think from the desired result, not just of it. They focus their subconscious thoughts through mediation and feel what it would be like if their wish had been realised today. Research has shown the subconscious mind cannot make the distinction between a real thought and an imagined thought felt vividly. Once the subconscious is impressed with an idea, It will proceed to show you examples of its truth. Sometimes in life, choices aren’t as easy as 1.2.3. But I’ve almost made it my life mission to uncover if premeditated thoughts can lead to a favourable outcome. I’ve found some startling revelations in the past few years of people who seem to have just ‘gotten lucky’. Luck in almost all cases, had no hand in success. 18 Women’s Network Magazine
