We Create Constantly
through Our Thoughts

Q: Can we eventually possess the power to materialize and create things?

M: Yes, you can. And you create things all the time. Anytime you think of something, you create it. And that thing will come to you, sooner or later. That's why we should be careful with our thoughts. Because if we think good things, they’ll come to us, and if we think about bad things, they’ll also come to us. Suppose we think about many good things that we want to possess, and then we die at that instant. But all the things we’ve created and desired haven’t come to fulfillment so we have to be reborn again to enjoy them. That's why all the Masters advise us that we shouldn’t concentrate on material possessions, but on our property in Heaven. This means we should concentrate on God's Kingdom and not mind too much about material possessions.
That's why we shouldn’t bother to learn magical powers or materialize things: We already have creative power all the time in our life! For example, if you died now, this instant, you’d understand exactly what I mean because when you left this limited prison, you’d be free, and your spirit would be everywhere at the same time or many places at the same time. And anything, absolutely anything you wanted would come to you right away. It’s just that when we have this physical body, we can’t see this. That's why we’re careless about what we think and what we want. We’re not very in control of our minds. If we know that everything we think will come to us, we’ll be very careful about what we think.
