I have been reading Wallace D. Wattles book “The Science of Getting Rich”. This is the same book that Rhonda Byrne’s daughter gave her to read that lead to her producing “The Secret” movie (you can download an e-copy of Wattles’ book there). There are some interesting correlations between what this 1910 publication says and modern discoveries.

A key idea that is often quoted in the book is “There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates and fills the interspaces of the universe. A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imagined by the thought. Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.” This correlates with some astronomical discoveries made in the last 10 years or so; the existence of dark energy and dark matter.

Scientists believe that dark energy exists because of its effect on bodies that are visible; like the belief in subatomic particles because of how particles act and react under certain conditions. Scientist believe that the dark energy condenses into dark matter. It is the dark matter that condenses further into the physical bodies that we see in space. It is said that only about 5% of the energy available has actually created all the physical things we can see. This includes all the galaxies, all the solar systems, all the planets and everything on each planet such as the chair you are sitting in and yes even your body. That leaves a lot of energy floating around out there.

How do these ‘things’ get created? I believe mainly through the mind of God. The first thoughts were God’s and since we have been created in the image of God, I believe that means we are creators also. Often our creating has taken a more tangible form such as taking hammer and nail to cut-up trees. But even that has to start with an idea.

Could we be more powerful than we give ourselves credit for?
