“As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, the study of matter, I can say this as the result of my research on the atom: there is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists by virtue of a force that brings the particles of the atom to vibration and holds the minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of matter.
—Max Planck, physicist who received a Nobel Prize for his research on the atom
Consider how your mind, your mental focus, is the matrix of what matters materializes in your life. Now, what is this force that brings the particles to vibration and holds the minute solar system of the atom together? Could it be the following?
“The principle which gives thought the dynamic power to correlate with its object and therefore to master every adverse human experience is the law of attraction, which is another name for love. This is an eternal and fundamental principle inherent in all things . . . there is no getting away from the law of love. It is feeling that imparts vitality to thought. Feeling is desire and desire is love. Thought impregnated with love becomes invincible.”
—Charles Haanel, author of The Master Key System which presents a system for manifesting what one wants in life
Now, how might the above insights apply to the stress in our lives?
Stress can be defined as the pressure we feel from the perceived gap or space between what is and what we would love to have happen in a given situation. This includes our perceived ability or inability to attain what we would love to have happen. This gap or space is the primary source of human suffering. It hooks our hearts and leads us to feel tense, nervous, angry, anxious, sad or depressed and/or just plain upset. The stress may range from catastrophes like the death of a loved one to the little irritations of daily life such as waiting in rush hour traffic, having a million things to do and not enough time to do them, or having a conflict with someone at home or work.
• Today, will you focus on bringing to vibration the particles of what you would love to materialize in your life? After all, your mind, your mental focus, is the matrix for materializing what “matters” to you. And, love is the underlying energy fueling all of our emotions: fear, anger, and so forth (see blog post The "E" in Emotion 3/23/10). Now, ask yourself, “Do I fill the space between what I would love to have happen and what is happening by focusing on the desired outcome or the feared outcome?” For example, if you were a golfer with a pond between you and the green, would you allow fear to force you to focus on the pond? Or, would you allow love to lift you up by focusing on the ball landing safely on the green? Of course, you may want to clear your fear by doing the shift your focus and energy technique (see previous blog post Redeem the Reactive Reptile 3/26/10 ).
