Mid-week Inspiration,                              

What’s in a cup of coffee anyway?  It’s the number one drink of choice in over half the world.  It is grown in some of our most fertile land regularly replacing valuable food crops in regions where much of the population is malnourished and underfed. 

It is shipped around the world roasted and blended a thousand different ways, brewed by sometimes simple, sometimes complex and often secret methods.  Most of Europe and America can’t imagine starting their day without it.  You can brew it at home for pennies a cup or you can go to a coffee shop and spend over five dollars to have it made ‘just right’.

A friend of mine once said “sometimes a cup of coffee is just a cup of coffee”.  I doubt it; there is far too much history behind a cup of coffee.  Granted, when she said it she was referring to the idea that our thoughts are creative.  Still I believe a cup of coffee is never just a cup of coffee. 

It all stems from the belief that God is all there is and that we manifest our lives through our thoughts in exactly the same manner that God in the beginning created the universe.  We are constantly declaring to ourselves with our thoughts what our world looks like.  When we watch the news we have thoughts of sadness, joy and anger; all creative. 

When we interact with our families we live in a continual stream of thought. When we drive to work and when we are at work we are thinking and adding to our creative thought patterns.  Scientists have shown us that even when we are sleeping there is a steady flow of thought happening. 

Most people accept that we are continually thinking, some astronomical number of thoughts per day.  What they don’t believe, don’t want to believe, is that our every thought is creative.  Yet leading scientists in every field and virtually every spiritual leader through the ages have all pointed us in this direction.  The whole history of the Bible leading up to and including Jesus and his disciples, continually emphasized the importance of consciously maintaining a positive, affirmative thought pattern. 

So why with so much supporting evidence does humanity so vehemently deny the fundamental teachings of the people we look up to the most, why this insistence to dwell upon  the macabre, the suffering of others, why this fundamental, racial refusal to take ownership and responsibility for what we think and how we think.
Or maybe we do, but simply don’t understand how thoughts create, how they shape our lives. 

Thoughts are pure energy, they have no mass.  Still they are bound by the same laws of physics that unify all life.  Thoughts are bound by the law of attraction in exactly the same way of all elements.  Our thoughts naturally gather according to their nature like coal, oil and gold, like water and air. 

And where they gather they coalesce into form, they condense and create an atmosphere according to their nature.  Specific thoughts create specific things; general patterns of thought create tendencies that await a convergent mental, emotional activity before unfolding into experience.  This is why strong emotional activity so often coincides with events.
