Before You Think Another Thought, March 9, 2001
In Before You Think Another Thought, Bruce I. Doyle III, writes that "thoughts and beliefs are the basic elements of all creation. They exist as tiny waves of energy called thoughtforms, whose sole purpose is to carry out the intent of the thinker." He further explains that the lives we live, whether happy or miserable, are the direct result of what we think. Doyle uses real-life situations to show how our underlying "core" beliefs are developed, and how thoughtforms are created that support those beliefs. The thoughts and beliefs lead to feelings, which then lead to reactions. Those reactions determine our life's experience, leading Doyle to maintain that "beliefs determine experience." He says "the good news is that with the recognition that you are creating your own life, you can start taking charge--as the designer of your life, no longer a victim of life's random circumstances. You become self-responsible." He explains how developing a positive attitude can change beliefs, and thus change experiences. He offers suggestions for developing positive attitudes so as to get whatever it is that you want from life. He adds that we can't avoid unpleasant feelings, but we can experience them, and then move on. They don't have to hold us back unless we think they do. He also says that we need to be patient, as "everything in your life will [not] change miraculously overnight." The appendix includes exercises for recognizing and removing your limiting beliefs and thoughtforms. Doyle says that "every one of our thoughts is a thread in the fabric of what we experience in our lives. And each one of us weaves our own cloth." In Before You Think Another Thought, he offers readers "new insights into achieving the life you deserve" by teaching them how to transform their negative thoughts and beliefs into positive life experiences.
