Positive Thinking: Changes You Can Make Now

The plan for presenting/publishing this follow-up to The Psychology of Positive Thinking is to introduce it with a YouTube video and blog and a modest email announcement effort. Following that will be frequent blog postings of the content as the book progresses, until the entire book has been posted. At some point during this process when the manuscript is complete plans are to publish it as an EBook through Kindle.

This book is an updated edition of The Psychology of Positive Thinking to be presented in a new kind of “chapter book” format. It will be available as an EBook; (periodically through Kindle’s promotional program for free.) It is intended as a self-help self-development guide for self-empowerment. The original edition was primarily concerned with consciousness, and how we think with our brain. Here we go further into body, mind and spirit; and see ourselves as the emotional quantum energy beings that we are.

The book presents an updated positive thinking model, incorporating the important additions of emotions, positive energies, and the spirit. It will be presented as a type of “chapter book”, divided into semi-independent small chapter sections dealing with one concept at a time. This will increase understanding, enable us to focus and work on one concept at a time, and simplify our positive changes. It is meant to be experienced, as well as read and understood. There will also be a Companion Blog Site of the Chapters of the book, which will mirror the EBook chapters as they are developed.

The model presentation will lead the reader step by step to the goal of self-empowerment through:
• Quotes from the Scriptures
• Wisdom from ancient cultures: ”qi” energy techniques
• Embedded empowerment commands (NLP technique) to promote positive experiencing for the reader (such as the embedded message “You Can” italicized in the book title.)
• Links to FREE websites of experts with interesting, often motivational explanations of key concepts.
• Supporting evidence from the fields of science, medicine; researched and documented.
• Links to videos on YouTube, TedTalk etc. that are available FREE with cutting edge info on research and technology.
• Links to FREE audios and videos for learning and participating in guided meditations, listening to brainwave entrainment audios and other new self-development technologies.
• Accompanying action step suggestions to help manifest small changes into your reality.

This is intended to be a voyage of self-discovery, and enlightenment of one’s own reality.

New book in Progress, Changes You Can Make Now

Five years ago I published The Psychology of Positive Thinking. It was based on the previous fifty years of research in psychology, the neuro-sciences and NLP. It was about how we think and behave from Newtonian physics point of view that is too materialistic. More recently, cutting edge neuro-science, technology and quantum physics have made discoveries that are changing the way we see ourselves. The physical world, indeed the universe started from a “singularity” of energy exploding outward at the speed of light. As these energies became entangled they coalesced into masses and motion and space, forming the heavens and the earth. This knowledge significantly revises how to Think Positive; the revision will be called The Psychology of Positive Thinking: Changes You Can Make Now.

So while we appear to be material beings living in a material world, we are really made up of these coalesced, entangled masses of energy. The “space” separating us from each other and everything else is simply the illusion created by our ever-expanding universe (energy expanding at the speed of light.) Cutting edge quantum theory is telling us that the energy vibrations that underlie reality take on mass only as a result of being captured when being measured, or observed. Some theories claim that this measurement or observation must also include the involvement of consciousness.

IF THIS IS SO, if the observations on the part of our consciousness do in fact create reality, we are far more responsible for events than we give ourselves credit for. And it behooves us to think positive thoughts: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8)
