Science and Metaphysics agree. The essence of the universe is vibration. Esoteric wisdom reveals all things were created through sound (i.e. vibration); whether it be the "OM" of Eastern mysticism or the "Word"/Logos of Western spirituality.

As you think, feel and act, you create the primary vibration which matches an identical frequency in the universe. The result is an attraction of circumstances, people, challenges and opportunities in exact vibrational resonance with your own dominant frequency. This is why it is essential to monitor yourself.

This principle lies at the heart of visualization techniques, affirmations and the whole personal development movement. When you visualize and repeat affirmations, you are helping tune your very being to a specific frequency on the inner planes. Once that task is achieved, your mind comes into vibrational resonance with the object of your desires and inevitably is attracted into your life.

However, for such methods to work, it implies you have changed your core beliefs. This is very often the problem and explanation why such techniques seem to fail for so many. Over the course of many years, your inner conditioning is created from the habitual thoughts, feelings and actions you engage in. This forms your self-image and creates the level of self-esteem you feel. It shapes the way you conceptualize and respond to the world you live in. It is how you interpret your life experiences.

If a person simply mouths affirmations or writes their goals out, without having touched the deep bedrock of their long-term conditioning, such activities will not have much effect because your core belief has not changed. You cannot go against what your true self-image, and predominant conditioning say you are.

Thought is where it all begins. As your conscious mind dwells habitually on thoughts of a certain quality, these become firmly imbedded within the subconscious as the dominant vibration. This sets up a resonance with other similar vibrations and draws them into your life.

Hence, to create what you want, begin with the mind, and make it your primary focus. Most do things the other way around, and come up with practical techniques to generate their desires, and then go out and try them. However, when these methods are not in alignment with your true self, then there is great difficulty creating the desired results. You have trained your mind in a certain way.

The trap most people fall into is that they condition their future with expectations from their past. It’s like driving with your eyes fixed on the rear view mirror the whole time. You cannot see where you are going because you are too busy looking back. Is it any wonder the future closely resemble the past!

By focusing on what you have become as a result of your past conditioning, you guarantee that you draw this same energy into the future. This is also why your desired future can seem so far away.

Changing the dominant vibration within helps you realize your desires on the physical plane. There are several ways to gradually change the core of your inner being. An important thing is to have a clear vision of what you want your life to be; completely independent of the circumstances of your present or past. Lack of absolute clarity could well be the number one reason people fail in life.

A good way to gain clarity is to write down in detail the attainment of what you seek. What would it look like? How would you feel if you achieved it? What difference would it make to your life? It may take you days, or even weeks, to create this vision, but it is time well spent.

By creating a vision of your desired state and putting energy into it regularly, you use mind power to shape the very essence of creation. This imagined "reality" helps the subconscious believe it to be physical reality and goes about making it so. It will attract circumstances, people, and opportunities needed to bring about the vision created.

By becoming conscious, you take control of the creative process and can learn to manifest at will.

Another way to change your vibrational rate is to act "as if" your goals were obtained. Again, this helps impress the dominant vibration upon your subconscious. Simply take conscious deliberate control of the process. For instance, Cary Grant is known to have said "I acted like Cary Grant for so long, I became him."

Taking time to meditate regularly on the truth that all is vibration,, will also help reinforce it upon your mind - both conscious and subconscious. You will begin to believe it, and what you believe is what you act upon.

Don’t even worry about how it will happen. Just do your part and let the universe, through the law of vibration, do the rest.
