As I was walking to the bus stop I noticed three kids I usually see on their way to school. One girl was calling out to his brother (presumably) "Abraham!" It was the first time she's done that. I saw this as a sign.
Later when I paused to listen to the Inner Voice, I was advised me that it was now time to focus on manifesting by the power of pure thought. I was reminded of a piece I had read about the power of focused thought.
A thought reaches a combustion point at 17 seconds of pure undiluted focus. It draws another thought to it and it is exponentially more powerful. At the end of another 17 seconds, 34 seconds total, the next thought combusts, and by Law of Attraction, evolves to a higher level of energy. Again another 17 seconds to 51 seconds continues the process, and finally,I can relate to this because from time to time I practise Japa meditation which is when I focus on a particular word or mantra and repeat it again and again. I have found that the word comes to life and inexplicable things happen. Japa is definitely one way to awaken the Magician within, at least it has worked for me.
if you can continue a pure thought for 68 seconds on any given subject, it will be on its way to manifestation. The key word is pure, meaning positive focus, strong energy, no resistance; to not slip into lackful thinking.
Abraham says the average person rarely finishes a single sentence without contradicting their energy, as in "I want a new car, but it is too expensive." So they say most of us haven't had much experience with ever feeling the combustion of thought that comes from 17+ seconds of pure thought.
In talking about the leverage of 17+17+17+17=68 seconds of pure thought, Abraham offers the following information:
17 seconds is worth 2,000 man-hours (about a year at 40 hours per week of action taken)
34 seconds is worth 20,000 man-hours (or about 10 years...)
51 seconds is worth 200,000 man-hours (or about 100 years...)
68 seconds is worth 2,000,000 manhours (or about 1000 years...)
That's two MILLION hours. If we can learn to offer pure thought energy for 68 seconds at a time, action becomes INCONSEQUENTIAL! "Slam! 68 Seconds to Wealth" by Ari Hinnant
(Note that the above excerpt mentions "Abraham" which is a group of entities that Jerry and Esther Hicks channel).
I am blessed for all time x 68.
