Real World Action

[anagogy]

this is a wonderful online community.  It is also a haven and a retreat from the harsh rigors of life.  It enables one to get a greater perspective on the kinds of things that may be happening in our lives.

And yet, it is still only a digital space.  We have a physical body, and we are required to take physical action.

I think what has been going on in various threads is that some individuals are trying to convey this message of - action is required.  Action is necessary.  It's not just a mental game going on in our heads.  

As positive entities, we can associate here, and come to terms with catalyst.  But life is in the living and the practice.  It's not a theoretical understanding that demonstrates a balanced entity - it's in their real, physical life where this is experienced.

I think the only reason that someone would incarnate here, in a physical world such as this, is to participate in physical action.  We live in an action environment.  That is the nature of our reality.

From a "create your own reality" perspective, the way I see thoughts and actions connecting is that the physical world, while still ultimately composed of thought, is a kinetic manifestation.  A tangible manifestation if you will.  A world following the logic of the physical beliefs attributed to its reality gestalt.  

A range or gradational continuum of thought connects the intangible (the realm of inner consciousness projection) to the realm of tangible (outer consciousness projection).  Mind and matter.

Action is an inevitable consequence of thought because thoughts gather momentum.  Thoughts become things.  They evolve into real world actions in the physical world.  As a bulky analogy I often use: your beginning thoughts are like water vapor. They are whimsical and soft lacking in definite form -- a mass of swirling possibilities/probabilities.  As they gain momentum by repeated attention, repeated thoughts, or we might even call it "density", they become a more definite manifestation: liquid.  It is like the "thought-form" level of manifestation.  The in-between state.  Its got some form or substance to it, but it is still extremely fluid and can change easily.  The physical world is analogous to where that liquid freezes into definite tangibly realized form.  Or, in the context of the discussion, becomes physical action.

Now, in reality, the three stages I presented: thought, thoughtform, and form, are not all that there is.  There is broad spectrum or continuum between one to the other.  It is a gradual process.

Any thought that is sufficiently focused upon, for a sufficient amount of time, will cause a manifested rendezvous in the physical world, which will involve the cooperative components that make up that focused thought becoming realized as a experience in the physical world.  The attention to the state of being to be realized constitutes a summoning of the energy of change.  Otherwise known as "intelligent energy".  Eventually, the energy of change becomes overpoweringly powerful, and you are compelled to physical action.  We interpret this energizing to action as extreme motivation, or even "inspiration".  You *want* to do it (in the case of positive momentum).  That is a situation where the energy of change has been purely, repeatedly, and noncontradictedly, focused to the point where people, things, places, coincidences were compelled to come together in a powerful rendezvous coordinated by the intelligent infinity in all things.  

I think this was the alchemy you were referring to, and if it was, we are in complete agreement.  In fact, I often call it "emotional alchemy" since emotions are so vitally important to doing this successfully, and repeatedly.

I think that we all come into this life with passions, desires, goals, and lessons.  It is entirely natural, and programmed before hand.  We come to awareness of these passions over the course of our lives, through yet more programmed events (and some that are not).  As Ra taught us, orientation develops due to analysis of desire.  Discerning those desires -- finding out what we really want out of life, is a huge part of the process.  Know thyself.  That is the mantra of the universe.  Once desire has been culled out of the ethers, due to catalytic contrasting experiences, the real work begins.  We must then focus our desires into being.  We must focus the energy of change.  

Desire is important because it directs attention.  And *that* is how the momentum to manifestation is achieved.  Through consistent focused thought/imagery/imagination.  This is *how* you crystallize the thoughts into real world events and activities.  And this is where the service to others comes in, if you are STO.  When your passion becomes focused and refined in the fire of the heart of self, it will naturally, and effectively, by virtue of the strength and purity of focused momentum, summon all the necessary cooperative components to support you in your desire or intention.  You will have powerful impulses to do things, go places, talk to certain people, and they likewise -- all of this will become queued up, and intelligently coordinated by divine timing, provided that you don't sabotage your efforts with doubt and fear, which is just attention opposite of your desire, which just slows everything WAY down.  Otherwise known as resistance.

The universe is always assisting us, but we have to get clear about what we want out of life.  If you wobble onto the path, and continually wobble back off, you could, conceivably, never realize your goals because you keep undoing whatever progress you've made.
