The brain is an interesting thing. It is bombarded with millions of sensory inputs a day, (what am I saying?) a second. Look around you everything you see, all the colors, shapes, whether something is moving or staying still, all the sounds, high to low frequency, all the vibrations and things you feel. I just realized my right hand fingers are cold. All of this is taken in by your mind and sorted into importance by the mind and then only what it considers to be important is delivered to the conscious. This is why I often say “You see what you want to see, and you hear what you want to hear”.

Have you ever bought a new car and in driving it home started noticing all the other cars on the road just like yours? This is your mind working. It has realized that this car, make, model, color is important to you and it is pointing out all the ones on the road that fit into that criteria.

I am starting to think that coincidences fit into this realm. Your mind has come to realize that a specific something is important to you and now it is ‘highlighting’ the things in your life that fit that mold. There are other things that are going on in your life that would also be characterized as coincidences but your mind is ignoring them, they do not surface to your conscious level so you can note them as being such. Only the things you are paying attention to in your life will surface.

For example, you are having a problem with your business and have been trying to think of solutions then you meet somebody at a friend’s party that has a solution that would work great for you. If you had not been concerned with a solution in the first place, you would have met this person and probably would have promptly forgotten them even if they mentioned something that would have been great for your business because this was not of prime concern for your mind.

Maybe this is why affirmations or (as I will be explaining on Sunday) afformations work. This is your mind being conditioned into what is important and so you start noticing opportunities.

This leads to another question. Does your mind (or maybe on a spirit level) also twist things to bring you to a solution? Did your mind suggest that you go to that party even though you really didn’t want to? Was that other person persuaded on an energy level by your mind to show up because they had an answer to the problem? I will tackle this tomorrow.
