Part II in the Thought Flow system deals with the concepts of "your heart's desire" and introduces the Snow Globe technique to pass on complex thought-groups, memories and including guiding stars to the higher processing systems in order to kick start the flow in the processing systems of the totality. This is also a powerful technique for goal setting and in magickal applications.

Thought Flow Part II

The Input System - Following Your Heart

I'm sure you've heard it said many times by many very highly esteemed experts that in order to have a meaningful life on this planet, you have to follow your heart.

That is something which I have found virtually impossible up to now.

When the heart asks for a direction or an action, a course of endeavour, this is what has happened to me.

There would be the idea but then, the thought system would begin to consider the idea and entirely fail to come up with any form of strategy to make this work. A simple example is being a creative artist versus earning a living, in my case. The very best my thought-looped mind has ever managed to come up with was a very unsatisfactory, very uneasy compromise with "earn money first, and if there's any time or spare energy left after, you get to be allowed to do a painting or two".

That is clearly not following my heart and the resulting heartache and living an entire life that is constantly unsatisfactory and which feels so very wrong is a pointer as to what happens when we get stuck in the thought-loop systems.

One of the main limitations and problems with the thought system is that it lacks the tools to understand, compute and navigate all the layers of reality, not just the hard.

You need strange qualities such as luck, faith, love and magic, not to mention creativity, in order to make *anything* work at all beyond basic potato planting for survival, or recounting the old solutions to the same problems that were picked up elsewhere and the thought systems cannot handle their complexities at all.

To compensate for this, people have been trying to make symbols and labels and use these instead, but without a real understanding of these things, it is just simply so that we're left with a strange mess that doesn't work. The thought systems, which learn linearly from past mistakes and experiences then go on to conclude that this is too unpredictable and crazy to be of any use, turns away from the only place where the solutions it needs could possibly come from, and intensifies its limited quest to make a nourishing soup with water alone because the meat and vegetables are no longer on the menue.

Being repeatedly confronted with these "impossible" missions from the heart is what then causes the thought systems to start ignoring the heart's messages - and now, we are in very serious trouble indeed.

Now, we have people going through the motions without aim, without motivation, without passion or mission on the one hand, and on the other hand with endless questions as to, "What's the point at all? What am I doing here? What's going on?" that can never be answered.

It is then when entire civilisations and societies turn to thought-world substitutes to avoid going altogether mad or into depression and they make the false gods - cars, nice holidays, power over people, relationships with other people; strange construct concepts and twisted enlightenment theories that make no sense at all plus a whole lot of general busy work to keep the general sense of failure and emptiness at bay, preferably until we die.

Just as we need to make a willing point to hand over problems and questions to the other systems of our totality for resolution, we also need to make a willing point of *using the resulting moments of silence* as the thought loops stop to listen out for any messages coming in from the heart - what it wants, what it needs, indeed, what our hearts desire.

Just as we have to stop and no longer try to make conscious thought judgements on matters the thought systems are entirely unqualified to understand and deal with, we must also re-learn to not judge the desires of the heart as being wrong, impractical, bad or childish or any of the many, many other reasons the grown ups used to give us for just why we couldn't have what we wanted and needed, from a special toy to just a bit more attention or a new gown or story, it matters not.

All the thought system has to do in this case is to become a willing messenger who passes on the request from the heart to the other systems, without interfering or putting its own spin, judgements, problems, contortions or whatever on it. And that you could call is when the system begins to *flow* - no impediments, just passing through as the heart's desire is translated via the medium of thought and stepped across to make the next move on the conveyor belt and towards resolution and manifestation.

The very act of passing thought to the other processing systems causes a space and pull to bring the heart's desires into conscious awareness and helps those who have long ceased to pay attention to those unreasonable demands to once again, begin to get a notion and awareness of what it is the heart needs, wants, or even has to give to the entire flow and change as the energy system begins to grow and develop, as it was designed to, as it must do unless major stagnation and a huge amount of pain will result for the totality, in every sense of the word.

Congruency, the holy grail of personal development, is then in this model not an arrow linear alignment towards a certain goal and consists only of conscious/unconscious mind agreement on both means and ends; but indeed, it is the outcome of for once, experiencing a fast and complete flow through the entire totality system where each part contributes in turn to the wellness and functionality of every other.

Raw "heart power" rushing into the thought system with all the new information and all that energy added is exactly what the stale, exhausted thought systems need - this is motivation, this is flow, this is fascinating and fun, the very opposite of dreary, repetitive, boring tasks which are a constant drain on will power.

Will power, the outcome of the thought system processes, charges in turn the magical systems and as the system completes its cycle, the magic systems feed the heart very powerfully exactly with what the heart has always needed to be strong and a source of power, a central ruler and the true meeting point of all the levels and layers of the totality which, when it in turn sends its power to the thought systems, creates a will that can and will inscribe the fabric of time and space.

That's how it works.

That's how you make magic.

And that is how words such as self esteem, motivation, healing, self actualisation are rendered entirely obsolete in a perfection of flow that is simply, joy expressed and the awakening of the true human being, indeed.

System Clearing In Preparation For Flow

Now, that sounds straightforward enough and basically very simple, doesn’t it.

The heart desires, the thought system passes this on to the higher processing systems and these see to the manifesting of the desire, having at its disposal both magical solutions as well as motivation and behaviour as these come together and act in accord to bring about new circumstances and new desires which follow from these.

In practice, this system is far from flowing yet and passing over the first few questions and judgements and such for further processing is only the beginning.

One of the problems with people I noticed a long time ago is what I then called “the unfulfilled needs reservoir” – all those heart’s desires that were never fulfilled, were not even attempted to be fulfilled and just got stuck somewhere, were put on ice, rejected as impossible altogether or argued away as not being worth having, being too dangerous, to impossible and relegated to a shadow existence god knows where in the energy system.

As we have noted above, if the heart’s desires are constantly rejected and never fulfilled, not even the very basic simple ones such as comfort, love, attention and happiness, the flow of these will cease, sooner or later, altogether.

As we begin to consider again, and from a very different vantage point on this occasion, what our old unfulfilled heart’s desires actually are, we find we are dealing with not a single thought or single emotion or memory, but indeed, these reservoirs containing so very much in every sense of the word. Desires, judgements about them, traumas, guiding stars, memories of all kinds – a lot of thoughtfields have become attached to the old desires, creating a veritable whirlpool of chaos on even the simplest of topics.

Still, they will all have to be handed over out of the thought systems and conscious memory systems to the higher operating and processing centers to make any headway at all, and for this I have found the Snow Globe technique very useful indeed. It seems natural to do this and is in actuality, a powerful experience.

Introducing The Snow Globe

Here, we allow the totality of a topic to gather together first before we “hand it over” to the higher systems by pouring all and everything connected to this into one thought form which I call the Snow Globe.

Quite difficult to describe and yet quite easy to do, here is a visual representation of creating a Snow Globe:

Simply pour out the entire thought group into your own open hands until you feel you have got most if not all of it out, then take the Snow Globe and pass it over your head, allowing it to fall down behind you in the basic Thought Flow manouvre to move to the higher processing systems for the sorting out that should have occurred a long time ago.

As usual, don't worry about overloading the higher processing systems. These are quantum based and can handle anything you might care to throw at them, even a lifetime's worth of contortions and memories, misery, happiness, huge emotions, a billion separate and conflicting thoughts - this is truly nothing to these systems and indeed, you could consider it simply food for these, fuel to have them come to life and run more powerfully, more clearly which in turn helps to kickstart the entire circuit of "processing to a higher level" which this represents.

The Snow Globe technique is a very powerful and extremely useful method that has more applications and practical advantages than you might guess at this point.

Snow Globe Do's & Don'ts

It really helps to use your whole body for this technique, i.e. not to do the whole thing with your eyes shut but to really and physically hold out your hands and pour the contents of your thoughts into your hands, allowing it to collect there and take on the density of the Snow Globe.

It will happen that with certain Snow Globes you will find a strong reluctance to "let it go" or even raise it up and over to initiate the handing over to the higher processing systems.

It is important to remember that you are not "letting go" as in, getting rid of or losing any of this.

Nothing is lost. Your memories will remain perfectly intact but what you are doing is returning these things to their rightful place in all ways.

It might also help you to consider that "What we don't have is what we hold on to."

A heart's desire blocked at the heart or thought level or stuck there (which it has to be by definition else you couldn't put it now into a Snow Globe!) blocks the manifesting of itself AND any further related applications. Holding on to an ancient love, for example, will not only prevent the processing into a state of bereavement resolution, gratitude and grace but will also effectively prevent any other love from coming and flowing.

Trauma too if not processed to its resolution will keep an individual stuck where they were back then, forcing them to exist partially always at that time, in that place and preventing the totality systems overall from organising themselves to a higher level.

It is true that sometimes, courage is needed and some faith in yourself and your life here to release the Snow Globe to the higher processing systems; it might further help for you to know that you holding a resource that really is needed elsewhere in your own totality to move forward, to develop and grow as you were designed to, and to help become what you always knew you should be moving towards.

Further, it might become important for you to know that the higher processing systems don't judge the absolute mess the thought systems have made of many of these things over time. Judgement ONLY exists in the thought system and nowhere else. The rest of your totality just functions and resolves as best as it is allowed to. Whether you are handing over moments of transpersonal glory which have kept you stuck in limbo or moments of utter and total failure and unconditional capitulation, or immense foolishness, cowardice, evil even, to the higher processing systems it is nothing but incoming data which it really needs to have something to do, have a purpose, and provide energy for all of your totality.

Likewise, the concept of "punishment" exists only in consciousness and in the thought system. If you feel you need to continue to punish yourself and this is a "reason" for holding on to something or other, let me just say that what the thought-systems consider to be reasonable is usually anything but and in the greater scheme of things, the concept of punishment is simply ridiculous and implodes in on itself as one of those classic limited thought-system misapprehensions, of which there are many.

Lastly, if you are concerned about "learning your lessons", I would say that they cannot have been learned if the higher processing systems were not involved and did not create a change of heart in response. So have some courage, hand over some things, find out for yourself what it feels like when you do.

Snow Globe Applications In Brief

There basically isn't a thing you cannot put into a Snow Globe and thus, pass it along to the higher processing systems. Here are just some ideas to get you started.

Heart's Desires

I think this might be one of the most important uses for this technique, namely to allow yourself to remember something you've always wanted, ached for, hungered for but never experienced.

This could be as simple as a special toy you wanted when you were a child, and as complex as "the perfect relationship" or "being loved unconditionally" - either way, once you take the breaks off and really allow yourself to remember all that pertains to this topic, the pain and hurt, the disappointment, the rationalisations, the memories, the judgements and the further pain and hurt that flowed from those, the decisions you made, the "realisations" you had - all of it is an interconnected whirlpool that can be let go of and collected in that thought-field of the Snow Globe in your hands.

• People (including self constructs, identity issues, conflicting "selves" etc)
• Places ("I left my heart in San Francisco")
• Dreams
• Goals & Magick
• Trauma & "Issues"
• Guiding Stars
• Feelings & Their Corresponding Thoughts
• Sanctuary Habitats (in their entirety)
• Symbols and Representations
• Fears & Representations/Manifestations Thereof
• Questions, Conflicts, Dilemmas

In Conclusion

The Snow Globe technique has four main purposes, the first of which is to clear out some of the existing accumulated debris from the thought system fast by collecting whole large thought-groups and moving them through all at once.

The second purpose which follows from this is to make space for new "heart's messages" to come through and to get movement into the old stuck ones.

The third purpose is to actively feed the higher processing systems so that in turn, their output becomes more powerful to begin to charge and re-energise the entire developmental learning and processing systems of the totality.

The fourth purpose is to teach the thought-systems (or what we still think of as "us", "me", "I") the principles of both releasing and passing on things that it was never meant to work out by its lonesome self to our own higher authorities on the one hand, and on the other to listen to incoming information from the heart system.
