Thoughts Are Things
by Jonathan Zenz
The expression of our lives are the sum of our thoughts and beliefs. Do you want to change your life? Begin by changing your thoughts and beliefs. Explore why life is the way it is and what can be done to change it... if that is what you want!
“The only drag about adulthood is we think we need to act like an adult.” -Rev. Patrick Feren
I just came across this quote from the time I was on the Sacred Journey of Childlike Wonder about a month ago. It was something I needed to hear today because I have been struggling a little with adulting in the last couple days. What does that mean exactly? It means that I was not finding joy in what may be considered the mundane tasks of living.
“Know that nothing can hinder you but yourself. If you believe you can, you can. You cannot fail if you start with the proposition that Life is all there is.” -Ernest Holmes
How do we make it work?
We don’t.
That’s the good and bad news of it all. I think I have been challenged by faith lately. It seems to be at the forefront of my mind, and it is being reflected around me. I was having a conversation recently with someone who is looking to make change in life and the question that kept coming up was, “What do I do?”
I am trying something new. I have been wanting to return to podcasting after some time away. So I am offering my musings in both podcast and written form. You can listen. You can read, You can listen and read! Enjoy!

Every negative event contains within it the seed of an equal or greater
benefit.
Napoleon Hill
This may be the most important blog I’ve written. It starts with this
important question:
How do I deal with the crap the Universe is throwing in my direction?
The answer is more than can be illuminated in one blog entry. So here is
one small expression of possibility…
I believe there is a Universal presence that is aligning itself in myriad
ways to create. All that exists is this Universal presence as form. The
tangible expression of the intangible and ineffable. I teach that this
presence is always working for our highest good.
So why does crap happen?

“I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this
diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.”-
Rosa Parks
What if it is all true?
What if it really works to live in faith rather than fear?
Sometimes I feel like these questions needs to be asked. In the work do I
observe people around me whose baseline approach to living is letting fear
be their guide (and I do this occasionally too). Fear is the norm. We are
given warnings all the time, from the first time we hear “no” or “stop” as
infants, to the constant warnings on TV and in media we are bombarded with
as adults. We have become desensitized.

“The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change
the nature of the one who prays.”
Søren Kierkegaard
For the past couple days there has been a lot of news about deep freezes,
hate crimes, lying politicians and political advisors, unrest in foreign
governments, and on…
and on…
and on.
Well, I guess it’s been more than a couple days.

“Energy flows where intention goes.”
-Rhonda Byrne
We had the inspection of our home yesterday. It was thorough and exhaustive
resulting in a 74 page document outlining every little detail discovered by
our inspector. I was able to be there as he did his work, which is unusual.
Normally the buyer in the transaction is not present, the realtor is
there—it is not typical that the buyer is already occupying the space being
purchased.

“Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again.”
Joseph Campbell
It is not uncommon to use the metaphor of building and construction to
describe the belief system and its relationship with the expression of our
lives. When we are born, we begin the process of laying foundational
beliefs. Just like with a home, a strong foundation will benefit the
structure — any problem with the foundation will be detrimental.

“When we use the word God or Spirit we do not mean a tribal God, but
the Supreme Mind and Power back of all created form, the Intelligence
which responds to us, the Intelligence which rises through the mineral,
vegetable, and animal kingdoms, and blossoms in the human mind as It
approaches the conscious recognition that It is one with this
Oversoul.”
Ernest Holmes.
Returning to the roots on which we blossom in the New Thought paradigm,
what is written above is such an important — if not the most important —
concept in our philosophy of being. In the evolution of life (which I
believe on some level includes all creation whether we consider it living
or not) we have moved away from the concepts of the man in the sky, away
from the “eternal Father” in the sense that there is a being “out there.”
There is an eternal Father-ship, an energy of creation which is the
wholeness of our own personal being. We are never separate from it.
