This is a literal statement. It is both a physical law as well as a universal law, which basically explains how we create. Creator has given you free will, or sacred choice. This means that you freely choose what you think, say, or write, and how you behave in any given situation. You create your existence—literally—by your own thoughts, words, and actions. You think thousands of thoughts per second, all of them energy with the potential to create an actual physical manifestation. Whatever gets the most energy—wins.

So what are you thinking all day? Where are you multiplying energy? These are hard questions. Are you dwelling in the past, giving wrong deeds or past hurts the energy to constantly recreate their pain? Are you angry or self-loathing, causing unfortunate situations to keep recurring in your life? Are you thinking about your victimization and then finding yourself a victim once again?

The Spanish philosopher, Jose Ortega y Gasset wrote, "Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not a sum of what we have been but what we yearn to be." It is important to understand our past, but not to dwell on it. We create ourselves by our intentions and the actions following those intentions. We create our future. We make a choice to see positive possibilities or to dwell in the negative.

A Chinese poem states: If the water of the Tsanglang is clear, I will wash the ribbon of my hat. If it is dirty, I will wash my feet in it.

If you choose to see positive results, you will begin the process of creating a positive future. You will literally create your life situations. The reverse is also true. If you dwell on the negative about a situation and are worrying about it, talking about it negatively, and being the victim of it, you will add negative energy to it. Energy is the fuel for creation, but there is a human choice as to where it will be applied.

Remember: Whatever You Add Energy To Multiplies Where are you placing the most energy? Which side is multiplying? Think of this energy as a cloud - a physical mist of energy that is surrounding you. Every thought counts. You are feeding one side or the other.

Thought Followed By Word and Action Equals Form

This law is an extension of the previous law—whatever you add energy to multiplies. However, this law is about the amount of energy present in a given situation. There is a significant variation in energy from one circumstance to another. Thoughts function initially at a low frequency. When we attach spoken or written words to thoughts, we increase their energy frequency. Speaking and writing add additional form to thoughts. What may have been a random thought assumes more explicit form. In other words, intention is more clearly defined and given form. You may have noticed that when you explain something to others, it becomes much clearer to yourself. This is because your random thoughts become organized and take the form of statement. This takes energy, which is then stored in the words. Words, as speech and script, are powerful. They become like contracts with the universe, and should be taken seriously.

Taking action or putting energy into motion is the follow through for what is thought or said. Intention manifests into action and creates. In other words, thought followed by words and action equal form. This equation can be applied to something as minor as baking a cake or to a major endeavor such as building a house. Everything ever invented began with a thought, which was then put into words, and then translated into action, which resulted in the invention materializing, or taking form. After the thought, words, and action followed, something materialized.

The process of enlightenment, or becoming spiritually connected, follows the same pattern. You have the thought that becoming more aware is what you would like for yourself. You speak of this to others, and you take action by reading books, listening to teachers, journeying to spirit, and so forth. The end result is a changed you—a new form.
