Every thought is creative

My surfing instructor yesterday said surfing is 90% mental and 10% physical.  If you think you might not make the wave, you probably won't.

Every thought is creative. 

I am the deliberate creator of my life.

4 stages of meditation

Four stages of meditation, per Joel Goldsmith:

1. contemplative meditation - thinking about the truth, the nature of god, the nature of error

2. meditation - thoughts stop

3. communion - something similar to words and thoughts is moving back and forth between me and god

4. union - no me, all god

Demonstrate or starve

If your understanding is sufficient to enable you to dispense with ordinary work, you will find yourself automatically supplied - in an independent and self-respecting manner - with a good living. This cannot possibly apply to people who are in debt or sponging upon others. If you really wish to try the experiment of "stepping out" upon the power of the Word, be sure that your so doing is authentic. The only way to make this experiment in a genuine manner is to let it be "demonstrate or starve". If you are secretly looking to someone else to come to the rescue, you are not really depending on the Word.
