You create your life, your world, your destiny

Your entire life is nothing but a holographic echo of everything that you are (and have been, for so long) saying to yourself without saying it.

What do I mean by "everything you are saying to yourself without saying it"?

Simply that your unconscious and recurring thoughts, especially those that have a certain emotional energy attached to them (excitement, anger, frustration, enthusiasm, etc.), create your reality.

In other words:

Thoughts now = Realities later

This is why I say that "your life is nothing but an echo of previously held thoughts."

Your life was created previously by you, in your mental world.

This is not a new idea. Stephen Covey wrote in his best-seller two decades ago, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, that all things are created twice: mentally and physically.

James Allen wrote, over a century ago, a marvelous little book titled "As a Man Thinketh" that teaches the same principle: as you think, your life shall be.

I would say, "As you THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, THINK, your life IS."

(Here's a little secret for great success: create social environments or working environments where you have NO CHOICE but to think positively or greatly or excitedly. Then success will come to you effortlessly. Think easy, smooth-flowing thoughts of success, and it will come. Don't work so hard! This is what I call "Desire without doubt, focus without force, succeed without strain." I will write more about this.)

What I mean is, as you hold a certain thought and keep it excited, it will grow and eventually BECOME your life.

Some people may say, "But Peter, my Supreme Master, how can this be? How can my thoughts, which are so private, become a public reality?"

I would say: "My young apprentice, hear this: as the seed is unseen until it grows underneath and one day becomes a giant tree, so your thought (of great success) is unseen by others until it becomes a giant success story for the world to marvel at."

Now, as teacher, I cannot know what a person is thinking. But as I look at his or her life, and I know what he or she HAS BEEN THINKING IN THE PAST!

He or she is presently getting EXACTLY what he or she has been thinking about in the past!

This is what Anthony Robbins, the psycho-mystical author, refers to as a Magnificent Obsession. In other words, what you think about, you bring about.

Another way of putting it: What you really, really want, you truly, truly get.

The secret is to act like AS IF you already got what you really, really want.

This brings us to a secret practice that made Thomas Watson, founder of IBM, so successful. He is considered to be one of the greatest capitalists of our time. His secret is "to imagine the ideal person you want to be in five years, and start RIGHT NOW acting, feeling, thinking, dressing LIKE THAT PERSON."

When I say "acting", I don't just mean "doing things" but doing them convincingly and with conviction (felt by both you and any reading, listening or viewing audience), the way an actor would "act" out a specific role in a play or movie.

Here is the reason why most people fail. They think the thoughts of success, but they don't feel the emotions of success. Emotion is just energy in motion, so without emotion, there is no energy with which to create your life -- the way you want it to be.

Many people, especially men, think that emotions are "feminine" and getting "in touch" with one's emotions is feminine. It is not.

All humans have emotions and emotional sensitivity and expressivity, it's just that history on our planet is such that women have been more socially encouraged to SHOW and SHARE their emotions more frequently. Why? Because women traditionally have been playing a dominant role in the domestic sphere where they raise children and foster communication in the home. In such social environments, verbalizing one's emotions and feelings play a key role in making one feel good and making others feel good.

But for men, historically, "feeling good" through expressing one's emotions so as to come closer and closer to the place of "feeling good," has not been as important as killing animals. After all, somebody had to bring home the bacon!

So the fact that historically, women have preceded men in discovering and practicing their attunement to their emotional states, doesn't mean emotions or the means to access and tap into them is a "feminine" thing.

Men too can tap into their emotional power, and reap the rewards. When we look at successful men like Richard Branson or Gandhi or Noam Chomsky or Al Gore or Anthony Robbins or Mark Cuban or Donald Trump, etc. isn't it obvious that they learned to tap into their emotional power to create the life they want?

Al Gore is an interesting example of someone who obviously is smart, yet did not succeed in politics because he lacked emotional intensity. Now, look where he is and how emotional he gets!

What others can learn from Mr Al Gore, Nobel Prize winner, is that one should focus on subjects that one is DEEPLY INTERESTED IN. That's where one's emotions will be powerful, and carry one -- like powerful winds carrying a sailboat -- to one's chosen destination.

In short, the more you feel, the more you create, and as you create, you come closer to who you truly are: the creator of your own world, your own life, your own destiny.
