Thought Precedes Manifestation
by Jerry and Esther
Hicks
THOUGHT ALWAYS PRECEDES
MANIFESTATIONS
In the creation of everything that exists,
thought always comes first. Everything that you see around you was once
a thought or an idea – a vibrational concept that matured into what you
call physical reality.
When standing on the furthermost expanded
edge of any creation, it is not possible to see back far enough to
comprehend its beginning. Everything that exists in what you see as
reality or manifested form was at one time an idea that was thought upon
long enough that, by the Law of Attraction, it reached the maturity in
which you now behold it. Nothing exists that is outside of this process
of creation.
Your planet was conceived from the
Non-Physical realm long before that which you call human walked upon it
and as that Non-Physical focus, from what humans call Source, was cast
upon the idea of it, your wondrous Leading Edge time-space reality was
created. First, there is thought and as more thought is offered to any
subject, the thought begins to take form until there is manifestation of
that which humans call “reality.” So not unlike the creation of the
planet itself, as you stand in your physical bodies – as manifested
extensions of that which you call Source – you continue the creation of
your planet and life upon it, through your thought.
As you know what you do not want, you know
more clearly what you do want and so an improved idea is born from the
contrast you are living. As you sift through the details of your life
experience, day by day and moment by moment, you radiate a constant
barrage of vibrational offerings (we call them rockets of desire)
outward. With each vibrational rocket of desire, the Source within you –
the Source from which you have come, the Source still focused from the
Non-Physical perspective – focuses intently upon your newly expanded
version of life and becomes it. And as this never-ending process
continues from you living life and coming to new-and-improved
conclusions about what you desire (at both spoken and unspoken levels),
that broader Non-Physical part of you expands.
Your hopes and dreams and intentions and
ideas for improvement are held for you in a sort of Vibrational Escrow.
That escrow account, if you will, is held for you, tended for you and
nurtured for you, waiting for your withdrawal from it. Not only is it
being held for you, but the larger part of you has already become it and
is constantly and eternally calling the physical part of you toward it.
So now, what is actually happening is that the physical you is being
called forward by the Non-Physical You for the completion of the idea
that you have given birth to. In its purest, nonresisted form, that
calling feels to you like passion or enthusiasm.
And so, now, the most important question
is: Are you letting you join the newly created, newly expanded version
of You? And the answer to that all-important question lies in the way
that you feel. The better you feel, the more you are allowing that
Connection; and the worse you feel, the more you are disallowing or
resisting that Connection.
When you feel love or joy – or any
positive emotion – you are literally being the expanded version that
life has caused you to become. When you feel fear, anger or despair – or
any negative emotion – you are not, in this moment, by virtue of
whatever it is that you are giving your attention to, allowing yourself
to be that new expanded version... you are not letting yourself keep up
with who you have become.
The above excerpt is taken from the
book, The Astonishing Power of Emotions by Esther and Jerry Hicks.
