If we make no effort, our thoughts usually scatter in a vast array of directions. They start and stop and move in surprising ways from one second to another. If we try to follow our thoughts without controlling them, we will be amazed at how genuinely inconsistent they are. Yet, if we apply our minds to a specific task, especially one that interests us, they gather together and allow us to focus our attention, creating great power and energy. The idea is what is known as pure thought because it is undistracted.

The law of attraction — like attracts like — influences all energy, including our thoughts, and this is what makes pure thought so potent. Our undistracted thoughts create a powerful magnet that draws similar power into our vibrational field. As a result, the longer we can hold positive reviews in our minds, the more influential the positive energy around us becomes. We don’t need to focus on action and control when surrounded by energy that draws what we want. We can respond to the opportunities that naturally come our way. When this is the essence of our experience, we can go with the flow, knowing that we will be okay.

If pure thought is a body, our emotions supply the heart to bring it to life. Our thoughts and feelings exist with one another, and they form a feedback loop through which they communicate and empower each other. We have achieved pure thought when we hold a thought in our mind without being distracted. When we have a positive emotional response to that thought, we enable it to dance and move and breathe itself into existence.
