100 days of Wykd Witchy Wisdom - The Principle of Mentalism Day 10

This is the first of the ancient Hermetic Principles.

The Universal Law of Mentalism.

This Law dictates that all of creation exists in the mind of God/Source/Goddess, and by extension our lives exist in our minds.

In other words, perception is reality; things are how you think they are.

We can find reference to this law throughout history, even in the Christian Bible.

According to your faith, so be it onto you.”  (Matthew 9:29)

If you have but the faith of a mustard seed, you can move mountains.” (Matthew 17:20)

“In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.”  (John 1:1)

“The act of observing alters the reality of being observed.”  (Heisenberg Principle)

From the Kybalion:

This Principle embodies the truth that ‘All is Mind.’  It explains that The All (which is the Substantial Reality underlying all the outward manifestations and appearances which we know under the terms of ‘The Material Universe’; the ‘Phenomena of Life’, ‘Matter’, ‘Energy’, and, in short, all that is apparent to our material senses) is spirit which in itself is unknowable and undefinable, but which may be considered and thought of as an universal, infinite, living mind.

It also explains that all the phenomenal world or universe is simply a Mental Creation of The All, subject to the Laws of Created Things, and that the universe, as a whole, and in its parts or units, has its existence in the Mind of The All, in which Mind we ‘live and move and have our being.’

This Principle, by establishing the Mental Nature of the Universe, easily explains all of the varied mental and psychic phenomena that occupy such a large portion of the public attention, and which, without such explanation, are non-understandable and defy scientific treatment.

So, the first step in applying the Law of Mentalism, is to first decide “What Do I Want?”

You really want to get crystal clear on this.

How clear?

Crystal…Clear.

If you aren’t sure about what you want, then sit down and make a list of what you DON’T want, then, make a list of the opposites. lol    

Hey, sometimes it’s easier for people to know what they don’t want, before they know what the DO want.

Keep polishing it until you have your goal or desire honed to such a degree that even thinking about it makes you smile. 🙂

It is important to understand that which you desire must first exist as conscious ideas before they become physical realities.
