Man's life has two layers to it: one is that of the essential,
and another is that of the accidental. The essential is never
born, never dies. The accidental is born, lives and dies. The
essential is eternal, timeless; the accidental is just
accidental. We become too much attached to the accidental and we
tend to forget the essential.

By the way ,
if you are new to this ezine, or else have not
checked out the information about my brand new book,
Science and Metaphysics agree. The essence of all things is
vibration. Science reveals that everything in the manifest
universe is ultimately composed of packets of energy; quantized
units vibrating at specific frequencies. Esoteric wisdom reveals
that in the beginning, all things were created through sound
(i.e. vibration); whether it be the "OM" of Eastern mysticism or
the "Word"/Logos of Western spirituality.
Our thoughts, feelings and actions also have their own particular
rates of vibration. These vibrations will set up resonance with
whatever possesses identical frequency. In other words, your
thoughts are inseparably connected to the rest of the universe.
This is why it is so essential to be a close observer of
yourself. As you think, feel and act, so you create the primary
vibration of your being. This fundamental vibration then creates
resonance with identical vibration frequencies in the universe.
The result is an attraction of circumstances, people, challenges
and opportunities in exact vibrational resonance with your own
dominant vibration frequency.
This principle lies at the heart of visualization techniques,
affirmations and the whole personal development movement. When
you visualize and repeat affirmations, you are helping to tune
your very being to a specific vibrational frequency on the inner
planes. Once that task is achieved, your mind comes into
vibrational resonance with the object of your desires. Being now
of the same frequency, this object (or goal) is inevitably
attracted into your life.
However, for such methods to work, it does imply that you have
changed your core vibration. This is very often the problem AND
explanation as to why such techniques seem to fail for so many
people. Over the course of many years, your inner conditioning is
created from the habitual thoughts, feelings and actions
that you engage in. This forms your self-image and creates the
level of self-esteem you feel. It shapes the way you
conceptualize the world you live in, as well as the way you
respond to it. It is how you interpret your life experiences.
If a person simply mouths affirmations or writes goals out,
without having touched the deep bedrock of their long-term
conditioning, such activities will not have much effect. This is
because the dominant vibration has not changed. You cannot go
against what your self-image, and your predominant conditioning,
say you are.
Thought is where it all begins. As your conscious mind dwells
habitually on thoughts of a certain quality, these become firmly
imbedded within the subconscious mind. They become the dominant
vibration. This dominant vibration sets up a resonance with other
similar vibrations and draws them into your life. This is easier
to understand if you consider that from the metaphysical view,
the whole universe IS MIND.
Hence, to draw what you wish into your life, you should begin
with the mind, and make it your primary focus. Most people do
things the other way around, and come up with practical
techniques to generate their desires, and then go out and try
them. However, when these methods are not in tune with your
dominant vibration, then you will have great difficulty making
the desired results come to pass. You will also feel most
uncomfortable if they do. You have trained your mind in a certain
way, you have set the thermostat at a certain level, and now you
are trying to exceed the limits you have set upon yourself by
sheer force.
The trap most people fall into is that they condition their
future with expectations from their past. It's like driving with
your eyes fixed on the rear view mirror the whole time. You
cannot see where you are going because you are too busy looking
back on past history. Is it any wonder that, for most people, the
future DOES closely resemble the past?!
The problem is that, by focusing continually on what you have
become as a result of past conditioning, you guarantee that you
draw this same dominant vibration into the future. This is also
why your desired future can seem so far away from you. It is
vibrating at an alien frequency and hence, in a real sense, it IS
very far away.
Instead, you have to first change the dominant vibration within.
Once your dominant vibration is in harmony with what you seek,
the latter must literally be "attracted" to you without excessive
striving! It will seem easy in comparison to what came before. In
a very real sense, you have to become what you seek on the inside
before you can ever have it in physical reality.
There are several ways to gradually change the dominant vibration
of your inner being, and begin to resonantly attract what you
seek. One important thing to do is to have a clear vision of your
life as you want it to be; completely independent of the
circumstances of your present or past. Lack of absolute clarity
about their desired future could well be the number one reason
why people fail in life.
You are creating something new from the universal intelligence,
and drawing it into your reality. You do NOT have to base this
upon the past, your perceived weaknesses, or anything else that
derives from your limited self-image.
A good way to gain clarity is to write down in detail the
attainment of what you seek. What would it look like? How would
you feel if you achieved it? What difference would it make to
your life? It may take you days, or even weeks, to create this
vision, but it is time well spent.
By creating a vision of your desired state and putting energy
into it regularly, you use mind power to shape the very stuff of
creation. You create this imagined "reality" in your mind to the
point where your subconscious actually believes it to be physical
reality and goes about making it so. It will attract the
circumstances, the people, and the opportunities you need to
bring about the vision you have created.
If you are doubtful about this, consider for a moment that you
are doing this anyway. The only difference is that you may be
unaware you are doing it. If so, your overall vibration is
incoherent, and hence your results fluctuate wildly. By becoming
conscious, you take conscious control of the creative process and
can learn to manifest at will.
Another way to change your vibration rate is to act "as if". If
you had already attained what you seek, how would you think and
act? Well, start thinking and acting that way right now. Again,
this helps to impress the dominant vibration you choose upon your
subconscious mind. Again, you have been doing this all your life
anyway. Simply take conscious deliberate control of the process
from now on. For instance, Cary Grant is known to have said:
"I acted like Cary Grant for so long, I became him."
Taking time to meditate regularly on the truth that all is
vibration, seeing this reality in all is myriad guises, will also
help reinforce it upon your mind - both conscious and
subconscious. You will begin to believe it, and what you believe
is what you act upon.
The reason most people achieve very little in comparison to what
they are capable of is because they have no vision for the future
whatsoever. Focused, single-minded concentration upon a vision
you seek to create is what will actually cause it to happen. You
have to read your description every day (preferably twice or
more), and then vividly imagine it. Begin to live that reality
now in your mind's eye, and you make its future manifestation all
the more rapid.
Do not even worry about how it will happen . Just
do your part and let the universe, through the law of vibration,
do the rest.

This wonderful sequel to "The Artist' Way" develops the theme of
bringing out the creative artist within you. Whereas the first
book emphasized discovery and reunion with that artistic side of
you, "The Vein Of Gold" lays its emphasis upon healing and
rehabilitation. Here we are concerned with taking that wounded
artist that we have discovered and nurturing it to full strength
an power.
The vein of gold referred to "carries the precious cargo of the
flow of our true nature" as Cameron herself puts it. Once you
have re-established that flow, using the tools in this book, then
you can create more freely and know the true value of what you
create. Beyond creativity though, "The Vein Of Gold" is also
about Spirit as all creativity ultimately proceeds from here. So
this is a spiritual as well as creative journey. You will enjoy
it.
Aristotle said that if you gave him a lever big enough, he could
move the world. The same principle of leverage applies in your
life. In this case, we are talking about the use of a small
amount of time each day to revolutionize the results you get from
the rest of your day and your life.
If a person would take just one hour out of every day, and devote
it to personal development, he/she would rapidly achieve
extraordinary results in life. This is the idea that is being
presented to you here, and one you would do well to take
seriously. Before you even think of saying that "you can't afford
the time", consider this: you can't afford NOT to!
Too much of the time, our well-intentioned resolutions for self
betterment fall by the wayside. Certainly, we intend to take our
personal growth very seriously. Yet, it either never happens at
all, or if it does, fails to yield the results we might have
hoped for.
This is often because there is little consistency in what we are
doing. Sometimes, we go at it strong and appear to make good
progress. However, with no set routine to fall back on, we are
always at risk of letting the whole thing slide when something
"important" comes up. By establishing an hour of power - a
regular daily period for self growth - you prevent this from
happening and make solid progress rapidly. Many people devote
regular time to physical exercise, which is to be applauded.
However, doesn't your mental life, and your very future,
deserve the same respect?
What does this hour consist of? To a large extent, you can shape
it as you wish. However, there should be certain elements
present. There should definitely be time reserved to set and
review your goals. This would include writing them out by hand to
reinforce them upon your mind. All this could take 10-15 minutes.
There should be a period where you actively visualize the
successful achievement of your dreams. Here, you use all of your
imaginative inner senses to bring your desired future into your
present subconscious reality.
You could spend 20-30 minutes of your hour reading a personal
growth book, or listening to tapes from motivational speakers.
Remember that in order to recondition your subconscious, and
raise the vibration of your thoughts and what you attract to
yourself, you need to be continually feeding yourself with
positive material. If you have spent much of your life thinking
negative, and being fed unhelpful ideas by those around you, it
is vital that you consciously reverse the process and impregnate
yourself on a regular basis with the ideas that actually help you
move you forward and upward.
Perhaps 5-10 minutes of your hour of power can be spent actually
planning out your day? Alternatively, if you do your hour in the
evenings, then you can plan out the next day. This would simply
involve listing out the things you need to do, and ranking them
in order of importance. Clearly, we are not talking about
remembering to do the shopping, or going to see the latest movie.
Rather, you need to list and execute the actions you can take
that will propel your life forward, and then make sure they get
done. Simply listing your activities for the day, ranking them in
order of importance, and making sure they get done will change
your life dramatically!
Nobody can create your hour of power for you. It is down to you
to decide on the components you want to include. Perhaps a period
of quiet reflection on your life is something you would wish to
include. Decide on what you want to do with the time, and plan it
out. Do not just set aside an hour and then drift through it
without any plan. Sub-divide the hour into discrete sections,
e.g. 15-minute chunks, and have an idea of what you will do in
each before you even begin. Indeed, your very first hour of power
may be devoted to planning out all the others to follow.
Also, it may not be one hour in a single sitting. You may find it
better to do two half-hour sessions, at the start and end of the
day respectively. That is fine too, if it works for you and your
time schedule. However, do not sacrifice the hour total. You do
need that amount of time to make it work. After all, this is not
"wasted time". Rather, it could be the key component in taking
you forward towards your dreams and goals.
Give some thought to this idea and consider making the hour of
power a key part of your daily schedule. We are so involved in so
many activities that we need a solid chunk of the day to
revitalize our hopes and dreams, and keep ourselves going on the
right path.
Yes, given a large enough lever, you could indeed
move the world. But first, you have to move yourself !
