Michael Langford says that the ego is the cause of all suffering. The ego is attachment to thought. So, attachment to thought or believing-attention on thought is the cause of all suffering.
There are two ways that believing-attention on thought causes suffering:
- It distorts your perception. For example, if you think someone close to you doesn’t care enough about you, you will notice every time that person makes a choice that puts his/her preference above yours, and you will not notice when that person makes a choice that puts your preference above his/hers. You may also complain about how you are not loved, until the one who loves you feels there is nothing he/she can do to please you and leaves the relationship out of a sense of frustration.
- It generates thought and circumstances. Let’s continue with the previous example. There are thoughts in your mind that indicate your partner doesn’t care enough about you. Those thoughts are not your thoughts. Those thoughts are manifestations. They are received into your mind from consciousness. When you believe them, you experience them, and more thoughts of the same type are attracted into your mind. As you continue to give believing-attention to those thoughts, arguments break out in your relationship. Your partner is drawn into this energy through those arguments. Thoughts are attracted into your partner’s mind based the same storyline. Since your partner gives believing-attention to his/her thoughts too, the relationship deteriorates and eventually ends.
In other words:
What I think, I see.
What I see, I experience.
What I experience, I think.
NTI teaches this process of manifestation through NTI Ephesians.
Please review the tips from NTI Ephesians 4 and NTI Ephesians 6.
