We explored humanity's attempts to understand the mind. Now comes another WHY...What happens when a thought becomes a belief—and a belief begins influencing the life we experience? In Part 3, we're exploring the relationship between thought, language, belief, intention, imagery, emotion and conscious choice. We'll bring Catherine Ponder into the conversation and examine her teachings on prosperity, thought and the power of the spoken word. We'll explore Louise Hay and her philosophy surrounding affirmations, self-talk, emotional patterns and healing. Then science gets its chair again. What does modern psychology actually tell us about self-talk, expectations, learned patterns and behavior? What does neuroscience mean by neuroplasticity? Where does scientific evidence end—and philosophy or spiritual interpretation begin? And then...MJ gets her chair. Because after decades of watching thought, intention, words, energy and events intersect, I have some very large WHYs of my own. THE PONDERING Do thoughts create our reality...or do thoughts influence the choices, perceptions and actions through which we experience reality? And perhaps there's an even bigger question: If we become conscious of a thought before we turn it into a word, action or belief... have we discovered the place where consciousness gives us CHOICE?
