Like Thoughts: Everything Produces In KindArticle written by David Cameron, CEO ImagesOfOne.com Today we would like to notice a very simple, universal yethardly noticed principle of life. Noticing this willdramatically improve your life in all areas and situations -relationships, health, career, business, politics, sports -all areas of your life. Sometimes the simplest of things arethe most powerful yet least understood. Let us look at onesuch simplicity. Here it is: Everything produces in kind. An orange seed produces orange trees, which produce oranges.This you can count on. A frog gives birth to frogs. This you can count on. Water evaporates into steam. This you can count on. So what can you not count on? The impossible. You cannotcount on the impossible. The impossible is this: You cannot count on an orange seed growing into a bananaplant, for that is impossible. You cannot count on a frog giving birth to a gorilla, forthat is impossible. You cannot count on water evaporating into steel, for thatis impossible. In other words, everything produces in kind, and trying togo against this is impossible and at best a pure waste ofenergy resulting in pain and no result. Try it if you don'tbelieve it. Here is a bigger insight into this: Everything gives rise tothat which is like it, only in a different form. So theorange seed, tree and fruit are one and the same thing, onlyappearing in different form. The frog, egg and tadpole areone and the same thing, only appearing in different form.The water, steam, clouds, ocean, and ice are one and thesame thing, only appearing in different form. Now to expand:If you did not know what a frog was or a tadpole and sawthem both at the same time, you would think they are twodifferent creatures completely! If you have never seen wateror ice and saw them both at the same time, you would thinkthey are two different materials! Ok, fair enough. It is easy to see how this is so with thephysical world around you, but what does that have to dowith your life and life affairs? Simple. Everything gives rise to that which is like it, onlyin a different form. Sometimes, if you are not aware of thebig picture, your mind may get tricked into thinking thereis no relationship between things that are obviouslyrelated. And this is what happens all the time. It is thenorm rather than the exception. Watch. We all know that our lives arise out of our thoughts. Youare reading this now because, by a chain of choices you havepreviously made, including the choice to read to this point,you have thought of reading such material before. In otherwords, if it was not in your mental interest or field ofattention, you would never have read this article you arereading now. Sometimes in your life you have seen a clearconnection between your thoughts and the world arisingaround you. at most other times you have not seen thisconnection and thought even that you were a victim ofcircumstances. Now is the time to see that, truly,everything gives rise to its own kind. And this is how youdo that: Your thoughts give rise to like thoughts, words and actions.If you think a thought A, it will and must, under allcircumstances, result in an experience in your world that isexactly like thought A, only appearing in different form. Inpractice, this means that you worry about things because youworry about things. It means that the very act of worrying,which by definition is the consistent and excessive thinkingof the worst case scenario, is that which gives rise toconditions that make you worry even more. Again, every thought you have gives rise to experiences andresults of its own kind. This is sealed and unbreakable. Tosimplify, w happy thought results in happy conditions andexperiences, and a destructive thought results in its ownkind, and these can never be interchanged. To simplify even further, worry results in conditions toworry about, and anxiety results in conditions to be anxiousabout. That is how your world arises out of yourself. Now, we need your attention here for the next statements. Soplease pay full attention now. There is no point to worryingabout anything. You worry because you think that worrying isdoing something about it and hence by worrying you believethat you will help prevent disaster. You worry because youbelieve it works for you. And when the events you wereworried about finally come about, you feel justified, thatyou were correct in worrying about them because, look, herethey are now! The truth is, the worrisome conditions camebecause you worried about them. Everything gives rise to itsown kind. You worry, and sooner or later you are faced withthe circumstances you worried about, or something similar incontext and essence but different in form and appearance. Worry, or any negative thought, will under all circumstancesgive rise to negative external outcomes. Never, under anycircumstances, will it give rise to positive outcomesbecause by definition worry is the envisioning of the worstcase scenario. Remember, the connections between the causingthought and the resultant effect may not be obvious to you,but be assured that even if separated by space, form andtime, a thought always gives rise to a matching result. It is interesting to note that Jesus is quoted in the NewTestament as having said "be anxious over nothing". Worry isuseless, because at best it can only disrupt the desiredpositive outcome, and at worst bring about a negativeoutcome. There is not a single instance where worry can workpositively. So why bother do it any more? Now let us look at the grand daddy of this universal lawthat guarantees that everything produces of its own kind.Where is it most clearly given to us? In just about all theworlds major religions, no matter where they come from orhow they started, they say one thing: you were created inthe image and likeness of the Original Creator. The Creator,by extension of Itself, creates that which is like It inessence, though not necessarily in form. Form changes allthe time, but essence is eternal. The only reason you do notexperience yourself with the magnificence you would imagingthe Creator possessing is because (and again this law comesin) you have put forth and held a thought that your not thatwhich you are, and hence you experience that as well. Andthat is why all spiritual streams emphasize on going within,waking up, remembering, recognizing your unity with Oneness.And this is how deep this law goes, that like produces inkind. Whatever thought you hold in mind, whatever belief,you will experience it in your reality, even when it iscontrary to truth, in which case you would be experiencingillusion, but you will, under all circumstances, experiencethat which is like the thought held. Where else have you seen this law talked about? You haveseen it in more places than you may remember. Here are someexamples: birds of a feather flock together, you reap whatyou sow, you shall know them by their fruits, karma, whatgoes around comes around, do unto your brother... You knowthe rest. Now back to your life. Life can be dramatically simplifiedif you just always remember this simple law. You need notfight against anything, cause fighting against results inconflict, for resistance is born of conflict and thus birthsconflict. If you find there is something in your life you donot like, simply choose another. If you don't like havinglittle money, simply stop worrying about money, stopthinking of situations where you may lack money, stopspeaking and thinking from the position of poverty. A poorthought gives rise to poverty, a rich thought gives rise towealth. It is very simple. And this applies to all areas oflife, even in relationships and health. Let us look at what works and what doesn't: Flowing from a mental and emotional position of abundanceresults in wealth, but struggling and working hard from amental and emotional position of lack results in tirednessand little wealth, no matter how long you do it for. Flowing from a mental and emotional position of peaceresults in peace, but protesting and fighting against warfrom a mental and emotional position of conflict results inconflict and polarity, no matter how long you do it for.Don't believe this? Well, ask yourself this: If everyone inthe world fought against a cause they believed to be worthfighting for, all 6 billion people each with a justifiablecause to fight against, what would happen? Now, what if all6 billion people held peace in their mind, regardless ofwhat everyone else does, what would happen then?Impractical, you say? You haven't tried it yet. I guaranteeyou that holding your own peace is the most effective way topeace. No matter how big this planet gets, it still comesdown to what each person does, and hence the sovereignty andpower of an individual is guaranteed high and capable. Everyinvention, revolution or leap started with one person,spreading to more. But that is another topic all together.For now, remember this simple law and live by it, and yourlife will simplify and multiply under a new clear direction.If you wish to know more, please click here. Remember, everything gives rise to its own kind, so direct your thoughts deliberately, and under all circumstances, be anxious over nothing.
