The Resentful Chair
When I was four or five years old, my Grandmother said to me, “It’s very important that you learn to control your thoughts, because thoughts are things." She went on to explain that every “thing” is first imagined and then constructed within that same conscious intent, every particle within that object is imbedded with that same thought impression. So every thought you have is your own responsibility and defines who you are.
When my son was small, he had an entire menagerie of stuffed animals, Rusty the orange teddy bear, Toby the floppy-eared dog, Icicle the pure white polar bear, and so on. They all lived on a big shelf in his closet and each day he would take one of the animals off the shelf and play with it for a full day and night. That animal would have his full attention all day and a warm snuggle each night. The next day, he would take out a different animal to play with. When I asked him why he did it that way, he simply said, “So they won’t get their feelings hurt”. Leave it to a child. He had figured it out.
Now there’s more to the story. Within the same understanding that thoughts are things is the concept that things are thoughts. The creative energy used to generate a chair or a table, for example, does not dissipate from the object once the creation is complete. In fact, this is what holds it together. That object continues to possess that creative energy…otherwise the molecules making it up would simply fly apart and dematerialize into the atmosphere.
Take that chair you have sitting in your living room. Let’s say the builder of this chair had a really bad attitude as he was constructing it and held a lot of anger. He hated his job and wished he would never have to build another piece of furniture. As strange as it may seem, that anger is built right into the molecular structure of his chair. You buy that chair and bring it home and now you own an angry chair.
Just as the chair builder directing his anger into his furniture, if that same negative energy is directed toward a person it can be very destructive for both. Much of the result of this would depend upon the individual’s frequency. If it is higher than the one directing the negativity, they won’t be harmed as badly. If however, they respond through hurt feelings, this can have a direct affect on the body’s vibrational resonance. In any case, it’s a good idea to learn to not take things personally.
If we can understand this concept, once we get that chair home, even if we aren’t sure of the thought energy of the builder, we can still greatly affect the frequency of the chair, through purposely infusing the object with positive energy. Intentionally directed love and appreciation will change the original emotional intent the chair once held. This naturally, would also apply to a person. If we were to shine our Source-light toward all around us, whether an object or a person, it would have an immediate effect not only on the other, but on us as well.
It’s our responsibility as creators to stay conscious of our thoughts and the possible repercussions of each idea and belief, especially those directed toward another, or even a chair!
