Excerpt from The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot

Excerpt from The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot:
------------------------------
"As with so many of the "discoveries we have looked at, the idea
that
some deeply unconscious and even spiritual part of us can reach
across
the boundaries of time and is responsible for our destiny can also
be
found in many shamanic traditions and other sources...

The kahunas [Hawaiian shamans] call this invisible aspect the
aumakua,
or 'high self'...It is...the part of us that is responsible for
creating our destiny, but it is not alone in this process. Like
many
of the researchers mentioned in this book, the kahunas believed that
thoughts are things and are composed of a subtle energetic
substance...

Most people are not in charge of their own thoughts, said the
kahunas
and constantly bombard their high self with an uncontrolled and
contradictory mixture of plans, wishes and fears. This confuses the
high self and is why most people's lives appear to be equally
haphazard and uncontrolled. Powerful kahunas who were in open
communication with their high selves were said to be able to help a
person remake his or her future. Similarly, it was considered
extremely important that people take time out at frequent intervals
to
think about their lives and visualize in concrete terms what they
wished to happen to themselves. By doing this the kahunas asserted
that people can more consciouly control the events that befall them
and make their own future...

The tantric mystics of Tibet referred to the 'stuff ' of thoughts as
tsal and held that every mental action produced waves of this
mysterious energy. They believed the entire universe is a product
of
the mind and is created and animated by the collective tsal of all
beings...Only great yogis skilled at contacting the deeper levels of
the mind were said to be able consciously to utilize such forces and
one of the things they did to achieve this goal was to visualize
REPEATEDLY (caps mine) the desired creation...

The twelve-century Persian Sufis also stressed the importance of
visualization in altering and reshaping one's destiny, and called
the
subtle matter of thought alam almithal...They...held that reality is
divided into a series of ...planes of being...and that the plane of
being directly adjacent to this one was a kind fo template reality
in
which the alam almithal of one's thoughts formed into idea-images,
which in turn eventually determined the course of one's life...

Edgar Cayce also spoke of thoughts as tangible things, a finer form
of
matter and, when he was in trance, repeatedly told his clients that
their thoughts created their destiny and that 'thought is the
builder'. In his view, the thinking process is like a spider
constantly spinning, constantly adding to its web. Every moment of
our lives we are creating the images and patterns that give our
future
energy and shape, said Cayce.

Paramahans Yogananda advised poeple to visualize the future they
desired for themselves and charge it with the 'energy of
concentration'. As he put it, 'Proper visualization by the exercise
of contentration and willpower enables us to materialize thoughts,
not
only as dreams or vsions in the mental realm, but also experiences
in
the material realm.

Indeed, such ideas can be found in a wide range of disparate
sources. 'We are what we think', said the Buddha. 'All that we are
arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the
world.' 'As
a man acts, so does he become. As a man's desire is, so is his
destiny', states the Hindu pre-Christian Brihadaranyaka
Upanishad. 'All things in the world of Nature are not controlled by
Fate for the soul has a principle of its own', said the fourth-
century
Greek philosopher Iamblichus. 'Ask and it will be given you...If
you
have faith, nothing shall be impossible unto you', states the Bible."
