You're Old? So What?
The Fred Woolman Story
Back in the 1960s, an author by the name of Jane Roberts was in the midst of writing a spate of books, channeling an entity known as Seth.
I discovered the “Seth books” around 1983 and over the course of the next 10 or 15 years, I read most of what Jane and Seth had written together – and they wrote a lot.
But the one book I have re-read at least six times is Seth’s seminal work: The Nature of Personal Reality.
In that book, I discovered a profound message: we create our reality with our thoughts.
Now that humanity is breaking ground in new sciences like quantum physics, the concept that we literally create our daily lives from our thoughts is as close to a mainstream New Age idea as you’ll find.
You don’t have to go too deep into the idea that you can create your life by how you think and what you think about. Just take a moment to consider your own life, where you are in life, and recall how you got there. You’ll see a clear connection between your thoughts and the results they produced.
So, if we are what we think we are, does it follow that that’s why some people are successful and others struggle to find success? By and large, yes. Why? Because those who are successful think in a focused and disciplined way.
They take care that the thoughts they entertain are uplifting, supporting, and positive.
One of the dangers of undisciplined thinking for those of us who are older, is that we accept the limiting views about aging that we absorb from movies, television programs and TV commercials.
Our media portray the elderly in very unfair ways: we’re pretty much useless, we don’t offer value anymore, we’re a burden to just about everyone else.
When we accept those views without questioning them, that’s undisciplined thinking at work and it ends up manifesting in our daily lives.
The Art 2 Aging had the good fortune recently, to meet and interview a gentleman named Fred Woolman. We would suggest that Fred is the embodiment of disciplined thinking. You just have to hear him to see it. His story is nothing short of remarkable.
