Momentum

Dealing with a connection between where we are and where we want to be in some timeless version of reality may sound all fine in theory, but we still live in a world of things. Or so we think. In the realities of quantum physics and the theory of relativity we find that these ‘things’ are actually tightly packed bundles of energy. So we are really living in a world of energy.

Now we all have heard the saying ‘the bigger they are the harder they fall’. Applying our new understanding a truer statement might be; the larger the amount of energy present the greater the push needed. Simple enough right? Energy in, energy out. Big deal.

Apply this to the desire we have to grow and the universal consciousness we need to tap in to and you may get to see how much of a daunting task it can be to build momentum towards our dreams and goals. If we take off the seat belts to our desire we can create some of the biggest and most worthwhile goals anyone has ever thought before. The problem then becomes the amount of energy needed to accomplish those goals. Tapping into and influencing a universal consciousness could also take a near unlimited amount of energy as well. So where do we begin?

To think of thought having momentum is probably something that we are all very much used to, we just like to call it other things. A learning curve, for example, is a good showcase of how we organize this thought momentum. Start small we tell our kids when they are learning arithmetic or algebra. Make it easy bite sized steps toward a worthy goal and before you know it your kid is getting his doctorate after writing a 3000 page dissertation. It is that process that we sometimes forget about.

Movement in regards to momentum really has two things that we need to apply to thought momentum. First there is a threshold, a minimum level of energy required to move or displace the object in question. The bigger the object is, the harder we need to push. The second application is that there needs to be a constant force applied in order to maintain momentum, unless you live in a completely devoid vacuum with no exposure to gravity whatsoever.

As it applies to our study of the mind we need to exhort a sufficient amount of energy in the form of desire and expectation to bring our dreams closer to us. The bigger the dream, the bigger the desire needs to be. This is where visualization and finding out exactly what we want can help. By giving a clear picture of what we do want to our subconscious it won’t waste any energy attracting what we don’t want. You won’t leave teaching algebra up to ‘something like this’ kind of thinking, so don’t do so with your dreams either.

The second application is don’t ever give up or give in. Too many times people have stopped just short of their dream. The image I describe it as is using a water well pump and stopping when the water column is just inches below the ground. You can’t see any results but the momentum is moving your goal closer to you with ever small effort you put forward. Once the dream is moving forward it gets easier. Even if you feel like you are just going through the motions just stay consistent. All that energy will have been for nothing if you stop for even a brief moment. After a certain amount of energy is put into it, the dream will start to take place almost as if it happened by itself.

Some cautions would be if your desire is not strong enough, just stop now. Don’t waste your energy pushing against a rock that won’t budge. If you are not going to give it all you got that spent energy could be used better somewhere else. Another concern of mine would be becoming complacent with only setting easy to accomplish goals. Start small to begin with, raise the level of belief, tap into the universal consciousness but don’t stop there. You will spend more energy organizing and moving ten 10 pound boxes each up a flight of stairs than one 100 pound box in one shot. If you can handle the 100 pounds, why not?

Stay strong, dig deep and leave it all on the field. You will never know what mountains you can move until you try. Even then, you can always come back with some one else who shares your dream. Put this law of momentum into your favor rather than be overcome by the sheer magnitude of this life.
