Good news?

So lately I hear spiritually inclined folks talk about not watching the nightly news..that energy focused on negativity inherent in most news manifests more negativity in the world. I do think about that. I mean, we can't be doing that ostrich mythos of putting our head in the sand can we? It might be naive to think that one can actually bypass all the negativity in this world ...it's on computers,radios, newspapers and in the talk of your friends. It would be worth a try however...to divert ones eyes from unpleasantness...to manifest a beautiful world based on one believing that there is only good out there. It sounds so space cadet but why poo-poo something without giving it a try? Do we manifest what we focus on? Supposedly this "secret" which hasn't been a secret to most pagan folks is worth attempting. Maybe this is one way I can help all? If I just scream and moan about a bad situation and not give one ounce of help to it except to send on the info to another person who just screams and so on and so forth...can good come of it? perhaps..perhaps by bringing it to someone who CAN do something about it...but there will always be those people doing that. Maybe my job for awhile will be to focus on good and only good and manifest that moreso? Maybe that is one small way I can help ? Just thinking.

Manifestation day!

Today is MANIFESTATION DAY!!! yup..today I make a concentrated effort to manifest some things into my life via pictures on my mirrors, taking time each day to focus on what I want..NAY what I already have but just don't know yet is more like it!
We can all do it. Funny how when you take concepts we witches have known for centuries, strip away the "boogie man words" from it and present it as pseudo or actual science that others approve.....books such as "the Secret" which have not been a secret to witches, come out and make big bucks by promising people much. Thing is that some will think the whole idea is like putting magickal words out there, like the book itself will bring what they want and not understand that it is the actual focus and "knowing" that our minds create everything that brings it to us. We can't just say a few words of positivity and then say "hey it didn't work" and toss the book out. We can't fool ourselves by giving it a 60-40% mix of positivity and negativity and secretly thinking it might not work. There is a process to it. Constant focus...re-arranging of the way we think, and what we say, doing it over and over that will make things manifest. The only thing that could possibly make it all go pear-shaped when we apply those rules is if we have written our own lifeplans to not have these things happen for a greater lesson..however one would think that it would come through somehow in the focus and desire..maybe being a little "off?". Who knows.
Also people have to be wary that they realize the chain of events that such manifestations make. I remember hearing about how a group of people focused on creating a "helper -being" known in many magickal circles as a "Tulpa" (a being created solely from your own thoughts), and how when this thing DID manifest by constantly feeding on the thoughts of others was also feeding on their fears and turned into a very chaotic energy being that caused so much trouble it eventually had to be mentally destroyed which was not easy.
WE ARE made in Gods image and by that meaning..we are a microcosm of that macrocosm that is God...we hold all the constituents of the greater. We ARE co-creators and so many of us don't realize the power of our minds that it is amazing that we didn't destroy ourselves long ago! Then again, if you believe in the stories of old Atlantis we most nearly did! (at least in this dimension). Focus, be aware, see in the long term but try to live in the now and do unto others what you would have them do unto you! There's wisdom in those words! cheers, Ravy.
