“When you are not feeling good, examine what you are thinking, then think of something pleasant.”  Seni Hazzan

What is one of the most pleasant memories you can recall?

…we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.  (2 Cor. 10:5b; NIV)

As I said when I started this series (8/6), in my reading over the past several years, I’ve been exposed to many lists of so-called irrefutable laws.  Of all those lists, I have found the list of nine by Hazzan (from his book, Rebuilding from Ground Zero) to be the most useful and consistent with my Christian world view.  I thought I would share one or two of those fundamental laws through the next several DGs.  Don’t forget to leave comments as you feel led.

I wrote a DG back on 1/7/08 entitled “Birds of a Feather.”  That old (460 BC) saying, “Birds of a feather flock together” summarizes the law of attraction, aka the law of feeling.  As Hazzan states it, “We attract into our lives the people and situations that are in harmony with our own thoughts or feelings.”  He goes on to say, “Human beings are thought-magnets.”

This is pretty closely related to the Law of Creation that we explored back on 8/6.  When you get hold of the truth that much of what is going on in our lives emerges from what we are thinking, it has a tendency to provide incredible motivation to make you want to change your thinking.  And one of my favorite verses in the Bible is the one quoted above.  It implies rather clearly that we have the power to do just that…to be in control of what we think.  This law suggests that we have more than the power…indeed, we have the obligation to watch what we think.

Feeling down or discouraged?  Change your thinking.  Feeling some negative “vibes” toward someone?  Change your thinking.  Even more amazing it that it works the other way as well.  Feeling some negative “vibes” from someone?  Change your thinking…and watch how fast their thoughts toward you begin to change.  I’ve used this principle in my coaching from time to time and seen incredible results.  How does it work?  I don’t have a clue.  But then again, I can’t explain how gravity works either…but I’m sure glad it does–every time, without fail.

This is powerful stuff.  I hope you’re getting it.

Prayer Power
Lord, once again we are reminded just how incredibly wondrous and intricate you have made us.  Forgive us for our pride in thinking that we have it all figured out.
