i respectfully disagree regarding the point. the point of his statement is that you have the free will to choose what you focus on in the reality that surrounds you. what you choose to focus on, whether it be the positive or the negative aspects of that reality, for both exist in unlimited abundance, will determine the sum of your own reality.

it is a simple application of the law of attraction at work. it does not decrease the abundance of the opposite of your focus, but it does decrease it's appearance in your personal experience. over time, if your focus is on the positive, less and less of the negative will be allowed into your experience. this also applies to group consciousness as well, because it is a primary law of creation.

your relative success in applying this law is largely dependent upon your emotional investment. there are really only two emotions. one feels good, the other feels bad. both of these emotions are communication from your inner self. if what you are feeling is bad, then your inner self is telling you that what you are focusing on is not in keeping with what you really want, as decided by yourself prior to this incarnation. by changing your focus to what makes you feel good, you increase the power available to those things and decrease the power available to those things that make you feel bad.

when this is applied on a massive scale by the cooperation of a multitude of individuals, then true change can be brought about. this is the problem with many of the so-called truth sites such as infowars. even though a lot of the information provided there is in fact true, it draws focus to the very things that you do not want, giving them power to continue. not only does it draw your focus away from what you really want, but it does so by drawing out very strong emotion. the information does have it's place however, it serves to awaken us to the need to focus more on the positive.

once again it is a matter of focus. when mother teresa was asked whether she would participate in an anti-war rally, she replied that she certainly would not, but were there a peace rally she would gladly participate. it's all a matter of focus. simply, we need to focus strongly and emotionally on what we really want, not on what we don't want.

we do agree on one thing though. spirituality is not an atm machine. one should certainly deposit freely, not expecting return. it's much more like a certificate of deposit, it does pay out in the long run with much compounded interest.
