[edit] 3. Thoughts are things

[...] Your subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between an emotional thought and an actual event. Your body reacts to an emotional visualisation just as if the event actually happend! Do you remember times when you thought of something so intensely that your body tensed or relaxed as if you were actually there in the event again? Notice what changed ... only your thoughts. Yet, you physically felt different by thinking stressful thoughts. (p.36)

Je onderbewuste kan geen verschil maken tussen een levendige (emotionele) gedachte en een werkelijke gebeurtenis. Je lichaam reageert op een levendige visualisatie precies alsof het voorval werkelijk plaatshad! Kun je je een keer herinneren dat je zo intens aan iets dacht, dat je lichaam verstrakte of ontspande alsof je werkelijk die gebeurtenis echt beleefde? Ga na wat er veranderde: uitsluitend je gedachten. Maar toch voelde je je fysiek anders, alleen maar door een stresserende gedachte.

[edit] 4. Beliefs

p.49-53

A belief is a habitual pattern of thinking about yourself and the world. A belief is a template of thoughts.

Your mind functions on the Law of Belief: whatever you believe with confidence becomes your own self-fulfilling prophecy. Believe it, and it will come to pass. " If thou canst believe, all things are possible, to him that believeth" (Mark 9:23)

The power of belief is overwhelming: no matter how right or how true something is, if you believe you can't do it, guess what? ... you can't.

[edit] Expectations

Your expectations in any area of life are dependent upon your beliefs. Whatever you believe to be true in terms of health, wealth or spiritual growth will be reflected in your expectations about those areas. [...]

We have, as part of our mind, a filter container called the Reticular Activation System (RAS).
