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.

Ever Expanding Good
So we have defined desire, we have declared our intentions, we let go of limiting beliefs, we began to fallow our heart and to find our purpose. That is a good track to be on. Now we are going to examine some of the processes to make this all work, to get what we really want.
First we need to define what it really means to want something.
In the New Testament the ‘kingdom of heaven’ was likened to sowing mustard seeds in a field. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 – 1900) said that the kingdom of heaven is “a condition of the heart -not something that comes upon the earth or after death.” When you sow good seed in good soil and take care to remove the weeds you get a good harvest. Likewise when you sow good ideas in the garden of your mind and protect yourself from corrupting influences they will yield good results. The kingdom of heaven is not a corner office in the sky, but rather a condition of ever expanding good on a deeper soul level.
This idea of ever expanding good when applied to our lives causes us to be the caretakers of our mind. Take care as to what weeding needs to be done for your situation.
Really what this means on a universal consciousness level is that everything has a desire to grow. Nobility is not being superior to those around you; true nobility is being superior to your previous self. Knowing this truth we can begin to see how these desires we have are actually a calling to grow and become a better person.
To illustrate what I mean here let us take the example of winning the lottery. When someone wins $50,000 in one day did anything grow inside of them? Maybe their ego grew if anything, but did they sow and harvest any good seeds in their mind? These people may go off and buy a fancy new car or some nice two week vacation, but for the most part they ultimately end back up where they started. Sometimes it ends even worse. Now you compare that to the person who earned $50,000 in one day and the differences in attitude is drastically different. They are more likely to use the money investing to make more than to spend it on a frilly gimmick for a one time benefit. Let us imagine that each person finds themselves $50,000 in debt, who is more likely to work through this situation? Chances are the person who won $50,000 won’t win it again in time to pay off the debt. The person who earned $50,000 knows they can do it again and most likely will to pay off the debt. Which person is a better caretaker of their mind?
I challenge you to ask yourself this one question that you may have not thought about before; “Why do I desire this?” Knowing that when we desire something it is actually a calling to grow, to become better than we previously were, why do we want to become better than our previous selves? This next part is really going to flip your lid.
Time is usually thought of in a linear mode in modern western society. This means that basically we are in the moment, the past is behind us and the future is ahead of us wherever that may be. However this may not be the case in my fallowing example. Time is also thought to be more of a cyclical nature meaning that everything that has happened, that is happening and is going to happen are all taking place at the same time. A ‘bubble of time’ is used to explain this idea. Albert Einstein is quoted as “We convinced physicists, the distinction between past, present and future is only an illusion, however persistent.”
In quantum physics there is a theory of ‘time-inversion’ known as Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory. What it means in layman terms is when a beam light is being directed toward a detector forward through time there is also a beam of light that goes backwards in time from the detector to the source. It is used to explain certain phenomena of elementary particles to instantaneously jump from space to space.
We can take the ideas of time-inversion and ever expanding good while combining it with our desire to get some very interesting ideas. Whenever we have a desire it is like a beam of light being projected from our minds. That beam hits our detector otherwise known as our future results. That means in some future time in some ‘parallel universe’ our results have manifested (been detected) and we are getting the signal that went back in time. Whenever we have a desire it is actually a greater version of ourselves calling back to us.
We cannot desire something without having the ability to obtain it.
It is our purpose in life to grow and become a bigger version of ourselves. When we desire something it is not the physical thing that is the true and underlying motivator. Each person with $50,000 has the ability to spend it the same way. The difference is one will continue to grow while the other will not. It is not having the $50,000 that is important, it is the person you become in order to have the $50,000 that is.
True wealth can be defined as what you have left after all your worldly possessions are taken away from you.
Use your worldly desires to become a better person and those seeds you have sown into your mind will become fruitful and plentiful.

What Do I Really Want?
The first step is always figuring out what you want. Before a cook steps into the kitchen he first must decide what he wants to make. Sounds silly I know, but this decision can be easily overlooked. If there is any anxiety in life right now it could be removed by asking the question…
“What do I really want?”
“What is my deepest desire?”
We all desire to have or be something more. What we need is the right intention to set the direction.
Just asking the question sometimes isn’t enough. This cannot be what you think you want; it has to be what you really want. It might take a bit of soul searching to figure out what it truly is. However, when the sights are set everything else starts to fall into place.
You may have heard that all you need to do is to think about what you want and you will attract it in your life. This first of many steps is true but it also is where many people get caught. They say “Well I wanted that new car…” or something to that effect and get frustrated when it doesn’t immediately show. More often than not it boils down to one simple fact, you really didn’t want that in the first place. It was not your deepest desire.
Get clear, let go of all your previous ideas. You do not need to think about it. If it is not the first thing you think about when you wake up and the last thing that you think about when you go to sleep you are on the wrong track. In other words, you do not need to remind yourself about what it is you are going after.
One trick is to listen to your emotions. If it doesn’t stir the inner child when you are thinking about it there will be no motivation to do what needs to be done.
Above all else thinking alone will accomplish nothing. Action is always needed to accomplish your dreams. The right thought combined with the right emotion will always yield the right action. Dare to dream big.
