The lesson from that post was to align with the prevailing winds of your life before attempting to throw your thoughts around. In post two on the boomerang effect, we studied the two primary techniques for learning how to throw a boomerang. Which, when transitioned to the concept of using intention and thoughts to your benefit, requires an understanding of the design of the boomerang (crafting your thoughts) and the specific technique for throwing one properly (practicing again and again). In part 3 we now get to the interesting part…catching the boomerang! Since we’re using the metaphor of throwing and catching a boomerang to represent ‘affecting your life through the power of thought and intention’, most people are only interested in this third piece of the puzzle. “Where is my stuff?” This, unfortunately, is where most people invest the bulk of their time and energy.  I say ‘unfortunately’ because if you haven’t practiced the first set of skills (personal clarity, alignment and practicing how to project your thoughts properly) you will have a VERY difficult time catching anything! A girlfriend of mine is a member of an actual ‘intention group’, where they meet weekly to discuss their intentions and how they are able, or unable, to manifest change in their lives.  I think it’s a brilliant idea, but her experience has been both positive and negative. It seems there is one member who spends the entire meeting talking about her inability to create stuff.  Yes, the group provides a platform for open discussion, but her commentary is self-centered.  She always complains about how she “never can manifest anything”, and “it’s taking so long, what am I doing wrong?” Well, it’s obvious to me!  Her focus is not on what she wants as her experience, instead her focus and intention is on what is not her experience.  In Reading Between the Lines, The Hidden Power of Language, I spend a lot of time describing exactly how to focus with intention, and she has the rules of the game mixed up.  She’s trying to throw the boomerang like a Frisbee! What’s interesting, is this same woman expects to manifest stuff into her life through thoughts alone, and refuses to take any physical action because all the gurus teaching in this space say it’s simply a matter of ‘acceptance’. That maybe so for others, but in my experience working with the tools of intention and focused thought, action has always been part of the game too!  This is the primary lesson for today. How to best catch a boomerang… The indigenous aboriginals know the flight of a boomerang is affected by many factors. We’ve identified alignment and technique as two skills to perfect, but no matter how experienced you are with aligning and throwing, there is a 99% chance it won’t return to exactly where you are standing.  You will have to take a step or two. And the reality is, it’s not simply a step to catch it, but more like a running jump to grab the weapon as it speeds towards your general vicinity. Bringing this metaphor back to using your thoughts to affect your experience of life, you need to consider two options: Take Action Do Not Take Action If you’ve ever seen the second Mad Max movie, you might recall the narrator is actually the little feral boy who uses a metal boomerang as a lethal weapon (pun intended), and has a special glove to catch it. You might also recall that at one point in the movie, one of the bad guys is attacked by the boy. He ducks, but his partner is killed, and in a rage he throws the boomerang back at the boy, who likewise ducks out of the way.  Since the boomerang missed its original target, it begins the inevitable, [...] The boomerang effect - And the reality is, it’s not simply a step to catch it, but more like a running jump to grab the weapon as it speeds towards your general vicinity. http://curtischappell.com/blog/archives/1740 http://curtischappell.com/blog/archives/1740#comments Tue, 12 Jan 2010 13:08:17 +0000 Curtis http://curtischappell.com/blog/?p=1740 http://curtischappell.com/blog/archives/1740/feed 0 The Boomerang Effect – Part 2 In the previous post about the boomerang effect we considered ‘throwing a boomerang’ as a metaphor for using your thoughts to affect your experience of life.  The lesson was to align with the prevailing winds before attempting any throw. So now you’re aligned with the winds of your life, and you have a very clear picture of what you want to achieve, let’s go back to learning how to throw a boomerang. Again, if you’ve never thrown one, you’d be surprised at how difficult it can be.  How a race of people, described as one of, if not THE oldest cultures in the world, who have roamed across Australia for the past 60,000 years, figured out the aerodynamics of a wing, is amazing and credit to them! The reality is, if you know how to throw a boomerang, it will come back to you! There are two aspects, of the actual throwing of the weapon, to learn.  One is technique and the other is the design of the tool itself.  You must practice the physical throwing of the boomerang, but you must also understand how it is crafted. Transition this back to your thoughts and intentions, and using them to assist you in your life, you will find it’s the exact same thing… Yes, you must know the technique for throwing your thoughts and intentions out there, but they must be well crafted before they leave your mind!  So what is a well crafted thought? The answer is in the previouus post about the boomerang effect.  To craft a thought worth throwing, it must align with who you are and what you want to become.  Once you’ve conducted a serious self analysis, these well crafted thoughts should result. Step Two – Technique Now we get to the technique required to make a boomerang come back to you. If you handed a real boomerang to the average non-Australian, and asked them to throw it without any instruction, they usually try to throw it one of two ways: They hold it backwards and flick it like a Frisbee. They hold it correctly and throw it fine, but they don’t have the finesse of the wrist and arm to create the required spin and arc for it to return. Again, bringing the metaphor back to using thoughts and intention to affect your life, most people have two main challenges: They simply don’t believe this stuff works because consciousness cannot exist outside the skull. They do believe consciousness is real, but they just don’t understand how to access their individual ability properly, so they stumble in their attempts. A very simple technique I utilize is Repetition. Many schools of thought believe it is appropriate, when attempting to have an effect on your experience of life with your mind, to create a very physical and emotional image, including any sounds, smells, emotional feelings, etc, and focus on it intently for a period of time.  You’re then instructed to ‘release’ that thought to the universe and let whatever happens happen. This has never worked for me…. What has worked for me is a repetitive and continuous focus on the outcome I want to achieve.  Spending the past two years, researching and writing, Reading Between the Lines, The Hidden Power of Language, has only succeeded because once the idea was conceived, something bigger than myself took control and is working the magic for me daily. The second lesson is: look within yourself (align with the wind), craft your thoughts, and practice throwing them as many times a day as you can. Practice and Patience My experience with this technique is working for me, but it has taken years of practice. Do not judge your ability to throw a boomerang after the first 100 throws, for you will fail 100 times.  After 1000 throws you might achieve a single return…that’s when the realization will kick in and motivate you to throw 1000 more times! If you understand the metaphor, you will also understand the patience required to learn how to affect your experience of life with your intentions.  You will try 100 times and [...] The boomerang effect lesson is: look within yourself (align with the wind), craft your thoughts, and practice throwing them as many times a day as you can.
