The Power of Thoughtforms, The Power of Avatar

by Seataka Selby

This would have been a horror story except that it resolved so quickly. Without the tools of Avatar and the skill to use them, I could be at death’s doorway or in the hospital now.
After a recent visit to my chiropractor, I was driving along peacefully on my way home, looking forward to an afternoon nap. Chiropractic adjustments leave me feeling open and vulnerable. I took an alternate route home to get the cheapest gas on the island [Hawaii].
As I approached the gas station, I felt myself drop into a pit of mental despair. It began with the thoughts,”Life just isn’t worth it. Horrible things are happening to everyone. I really want to die.” I began to find the proof to bolster up these obviously valid statements that had entered my consciousness.

I thought of the news I had recently seen on television and in the newspapers. I remembered friends reporting on tragedies in their lives. Wars were being waged everywhere. There was fear and suffering all over the planet. This was taking me deeper into despair, and I knew that I wanted to get out. I wanted to be dead.

Within a block and a half, my mental attitude had shifted from calm, relaxed and happy to the pit of desperation. I brought my thoughts to a stop and looked at what I was experiencing. These were the results of a thought! A thought I didn’t even recognize as mine. It was just floating by, and like a sticky note, it attached itself to me. I was feeling open and vulnerable, so I became interested in it, and it took me straight to hell. Just like that.

I realized that I had adopted this thought, but it wasn’t any more real than any other thought. I could choose to have a different reality by changing what I was reacting to. I used the Avatar exercises to discreate the thought “I want to die.” I felt immediate relief.

Then I replaced it. I created the primary thought, “Life is exciting.” In a flash, I was experiencing a completely different reality. I jumped from despair to joy just before I arrived at an intersection. The light was just turning from red to green. I slowed to a stop anyway. A truck suddenly sped through the intersection—right through the space where I would have been if I had stayed in “I want to be DEAD.” And I would have been, had it not been for the Avatar tools.

This close call, this brush with death, got me thinking about how often we walk into thoughtforms and adopt them without even noticing that they aren’t our own chosen creations.

I realized that during times of war, we send our children (our innocents, our most open and vulnerable citizens) into places where thought-forms have already been created with the justifications for aggression, for the use of force, and for enemies that must be eliminated. The result is that these young soldiers become part of the problem instead of becoming part of the solution. Instead of ending the conflict by bringing their own wisdom to bear on the situation, they get flooded by the existing beliefs and then join the program: kill or be killed. They become enveloped by it, just as I did on my journey home that day.

There is a better way. Live life deliberately. Live as an Avatar.
