The other day a friend was helping me move some boxes to a storage facility. As we were loading up my car, we noticed that my rear passenger-side tire was almost flat.
My reaction was simple curiosity. “Hmm, these things never happen to me,” I said. They don’t.

Since the tire was still partially inflated and the self-storage location was only a few blocks away, I decided to drive slowly and complete our mission. We unloaded the boxes and I dropped off my friend.

Conveniently, there’s an auto repair shop next door to my office. Even though it was almost 5:00pm, the owner agreed to repair my tire right away. Sweet. The whole process took 15 minutes and cost me only $15.71.

Two days later, my friend sent me a text message about half an hour before a scheduled morning meeting. “I have a flat tire…. I’ll be there shortly,” the message read.

The power of thought
When I spoke to my friend later about her experience, she said she’d been thinking about my flat tire and what I had said, that these kinds of things never happen to me. And her flat tire had occurred on the same wheel as mine, the rear passenger-side.

In the faster moving energies of these shifting times, the lag time between thought and experience is rapidly shrinking. Thoughts are manifesting faster than ever before.

Our thoughts create our experience. It’s that simple. And we’re not just talking about the big, clear thoughts that we consciously think or speak out loud. The thousands upon thousands of thoughts we think automatically and unconsciously each day are probably more responsible for our life experiences than the big, bold thoughts we articulate through words.

Yet, we don’t need to fear our thoughts. Thankfully, here in the third dimension, a buffer of time (however small it may seem) still exists between the thought and any outward manifestation.

We simply need to become aware of our thoughts and be conscious of the connection between what we think and what we experience.

Thoughts are fluid. They can be changed, discarded, replaced. The process of choosing and changing thoughts is simple and simply takes a little practice. And a belief, by the way, is nothing more than a thought you keep thinking. Change the thought, change the belief. Change the thought, change your life.

Why is this happening to me?
Even after we start recognizing the relationship between what we think and what we experience, it’s nearly impossible to understand all the reasons why something has occurred for us.  Take my flat tire experience. Did that happen primarily for my benefit or my friend’s?  Did I need an experience that would motivate me to write this article?  Did my friend need to hear me explain the connection between thought and reality? Or was it meant for a mutual friend who heard us talking about it?

The answer is probably “yes.” All of these reasons are active and valid in this case, and I’m sure there are more I cannot see. That’s one of the brilliant features of this third-dimensional, human endeavor: all of our thoughts and desires and experiences are elegantly woven together and overlaid. Every experience serves a multitude of purposes for each person involved.

Life is a magical orchestration of timing, purpose, and desires fulfilled. Yet from our veiled, human perspective, we cannot begin to fathom the magnitude of the coordination required to allow 6.8 billion humans to create their individual realities simultaneously.

Talk about project management.

Thoughts are magnets
Each of us is emanating thought continuously—from our cells to our souls and everything in between. These thoughts are magnetic, drawing to us the energy and circumstances (and, yes, additional thoughts) that best match the vibration and essence of the thoughts we have been expressing.

That last statement warrants a reprise: Thoughts are magnetic, drawing to us—on a moment-by-moment basis—the energy and circumstances that best match the vibration and essence of the thoughts we’ve been thinking.

All of this transpires on multiple levels. Your cells are expressing desires all the time. Your human personality is sifting through your life experiences and expressing preferences and choices daily. And on a completely non-physical level, your higher self and soul are expressing thoughts and desires, through your human personality, to fulfill a much higher purpose on a higher plane of awareness.

So whatever you’re experiencing in your life, the truth is that your thoughts, on several levels, have attracted every situation you’ve encountered on your life’s path. Your thought emanations are the magnetic force that molds and manifests your life experience.

Which brings me to one of my favorite quotes from Abraham through Esther Hicks: “You get what you think about, whether you want it or not.”

The good news is that if you find yourself having thoughts that don’t make you feel good, you can change your thoughts and immediately change the way you feel. Consciously choosing thoughts that feel good just takes a little practice. And once you begin consciously choosing thoughts that feel good, be prepared. Your life is going to get a lot more fun and fulfilling.

This is an age of mastery. We are here to exercise our mastery of this physical world, a world filled with the magic of emotion and thought manifestation. It is an age to recognize the master within us.

Yet, what of our desires to find the perfect book, the best teacher, a master or a guru?  In my heart of hearts, I believe our true journey is to find the teacher within us, to accept our own mastery. We have all experienced many lifetimes in which we followed others who we believed to be wiser than we, or more enlightened. And while those experiences have been valuable to our evolution, I believe we are here now to create a new experience: to find and follow the master within.

Where is this master within us? It is in our hearts. The master has always been there, patient and loving, waiting for us to acknowledge our own awakening.

As we remember how to follow our hearts, we will remember the truth of what it means to be in love. All Creation is a manifestation of love. In this third-dimensional experience we call human, we have simply forgotten this truth so that we could experience the illusion of separation from our Source light. And though we may have ignored this truth for many years, all of us remember on some level that our true path lies within our hearts.

The path of mastery is the path of the heart. It is my humble belief that this is the path we are here to walk—all of us. With each breath, we are moving closer to the awakening we came here to create and experience. We will remember to be in love once again.

It is time to follow your heart, my friend. It is time to remember that you are, in truth, the master you have been seeking.

The theme of my website is simple: without the question, there is no journey. I spoke those words to Master Guide Kirael several years ago and he quickly replied, “Write it down. Post it. Put it out there.” And for nearly four years, the only page at davidbower.com was a white screen with those seven words.

Seven words.

If you’re familiar with Lemurian/Elven numerology, you know the vibration of “7″ is all about change, transition, metamorphosis. And so it is the question that drives us forward in our evolutionary quest—as our higher selves and as our human selves, indeed as life itself.

The journey always starts with a question. Who am I? Where do I come from? What’s my purpose? What will it feel like? What happens when I do this?

And so I am going to heed the voice of guidance and review the questions I receive from clients around the world (and people who have “found” me via the internet). Oftentimes people’s questions are similar to those posed by others. Themes develop. Trends appear. We learn so much from hearing or reading other people’s questions… and any response they received.

So, in the months ahead I will be sharing many of the questions I have received from clients, workshop participants, and new internet friends looking for kindred souls.
