0:00.0	Peace and Rich's blessings. I am Michael B. Beckwith.
0:36.6	And welcome to take back your mind
0:39.3	life question of the week podcast. Catherine from Nairobi asked this question. I've heard you say
0:47.9	that what we see in the third dimension is the condensation of our thoughts and feelings and emotions obviously too.
0:57.4	So we need to be aware of what we're thinking. But then I've heard you also say that we are not
1:02.2	our thoughts. We are the observer of our thoughts. Can you please clarify this? Do our thoughts
1:07.9	create our reality? And if so, what does observing our thoughts have to do
1:11.6	with creating our reality? This is a great question. It's a great question because two things
1:16.6	can be true at the same time. One, what we see is called the world of appearances. This world

2:05.0	That's called mentation. Real thinking is different. Real thinking in the Japanese language,
2:11.3	which is a word called Kamkuru. That means literally to think from the realm of God or return to the realm of God.
2:19.3	In English, thinking and creativity are almost synonymous.
2:24.3	When you're in a creative vibration, you're actually catching inspiration,
2:29.3	and you're not in this cyclical root, cyclical vibration of your normal thinkingness.
2:36.1	That's real thinking.
2:38.2	So real thinking is inspiration.
2:41.5	Real thinking is returning to the realm of God.
