I just read this article on becoming a creator who actually creates what he or she wants to instead of creating more of what we don't want. Check it out

Be a Conscious Creator

A conscious creator uses the Law of Attraction to his advantage.
A conscious creator does not struggle with the process of attracting what he wants or creating his own reality. He deliberately relaxes into his journey because he understands that the quality of his energy—who he is being—attracts who he meets and the opportunities he is presented along the way.
He knows that he cannot get from where he is, to where he wants to be, without "being there" first. When his emotions tell him he is not "being there," he gives himself permission to think thoughts that get him "there" again. His faith in the Law of Attraction brings him joy because he remembers who he is, a part of God, the ALL THAT IS.
He is generous to all. But he is selfish in every moment as he cherishes his energy, feeds his future, sets himself up, and appreciates the good things around him.
He eagerly witnesses the unfolding of his vision. He does not indulge in doubt or fear. He does not worry about details or timelines or what other people are up to. That is not his role, so he does not slow down the process by trying to control it.
A conscious creator spends his energy focusing on what he wants, not pushing against what he does not want. In fact, what he does not want does not capture his attention. He does not think about it because that would be giving power to a reality he does not desire.
Translation: when something happens that would make an average person criticize himself, doubt himself or his ability to make his dream come true, a conscious creator focuses on what he wants, what it will feel like, and most importantly, who he is "being" along the way. It does not matter what seems to be, what matters is "what will be."
All people are creators. But most struggle with past teachings and learnings that limit their personal power. A conscious creator is someone who has the courage to recognize and disregard outdated teachings when they interfere with his deliberate application of the Law of Attraction.
For example, a conscious creator doesn't make others wrong for who they are being. He doesn't need to criticize others in order to make himself right. He does not disempower others, for any reason. In fact, you can recognize a conscious creator when you see one because he doesn't need to speak or act in negative ways. He may, however, occassionally allow himself to express negative emotions for the purpose of releasing them.
A conscious creator constantly makes the same choice, over and over again, as the powerful act of a peaceful warrior [someone who chooses to focus on what he wants rather than fight the world].
A conscious creator looks for opportunities to clarify his focus. Even if someone claims an untruth, he allows that and claims a higher truth within himself. This gives him the power to pursue his vision without being deflated or influenced by those who protest something else.
In essence, a conscious creator trusts in his understanding of who he really is and the process of attracting what he want. Even if he experiences a rollar coaster ride, he knows it will end and that he will get off the ride safe and sound with a thrilling memory of the event. Of course, not every ride needs to be an extreme sport.
That's up to the individual. What's important is to recognize that every moment of the ride, fun or scary, worth it or not, is a choice. We create our own reality. We can strut or fret our hour upon the stage, or consciously create a prosperous, fulfilling future, filled with loving relationships and wonderful adventures!
What do you choose?

I found this article interesting on how brain scientists are validating Dr Morters findings on how the brain works and how B.E.S.T. reprograms the brain



Exercising your brain may improve your life
By Wynne Parry

Throughout life, even shortly before death, the brain can remodel itself, responding to a person's experiences. This phenomenon, known as neuroplasticity, offers a powerful tool to improve well-being, experts say."We now have evidence that engaging in pure mental training can induce changes not just in the function of the brain, but in the brain's structure itself," Richard Davidson, a neuroscientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told an audience at the New York Academy of Sciences on Thursday (Feb. 6) evening.
The brain's plasticityhttp://global.fncstatic.com/static/v/all/img/external-link.png does change over time, Davidson pointed out. For instance, young children have an easier time learning a second language or a musical instrument, he said.
Exercise for the mind
The idea of training the brain is not a radical one, said Amishi Jha, a neuroscientist at the University Miami and another panelist for the discussion.
"How many of you think engaging in certain kinds of physical activity will change the way the body works? Our cultural understanding now is that specific types of activity can alter the body in noticeable ways," Jha said, adding that this cultural understanding may be shifting to incorporate the mind as well. [
The panel discussion focused on a particular type of exercise: the practice of mindfulness, which panelist Jon Kabat-Zinn, a clinical mindfulness expert at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, defined as awareness.
"Mindfulness is awareness that arises from paying attention in the present moment, nonjudgmentally," Kabat-Zinn said.
Jha's personal interest in mindfulness arose from stress. As a young professor and mother under pressure from her job and family life, she ground her teeth so much that it caused numbness, interfering with her ability to speak. Jha attended a presentation Davidson gave and was startled to hear him say meditationhttp://global.fncstatic.com/static/v/all/img/external-link.png, which cultivates mindfulness, could promote a positive pattern of electrical activity in the brain.
"I was like, 'I can't believe he used that word [meditation] in this auditorium,'" she said. "I had never heard it in a scientific context."
So, Jha began her own mindfulness practicehttp://global.fncstatic.com/static/v/all/img/external-link.png, which not only reduced her stress level, but also inspired her to explore the topic as a neuroscientist.
Opening the door
There are many doors into mindfulness, said Kabat-Zinn. He gave two examples: A person can practice mindfulness by focusing on something, such as his or her own breath, and bringing his or her attention back to the breath when it begins to wander, Kabat-Zinn said.
It is also possible to practice awareness without choosing a particular object upon which to focus; however, "that turns out to be quite a challenging thing to do," he said.
Cultivating mindfulness like this can help break harmful cycles, such as those that accompany depressionhttp://global.fncstatic.com/static/v/all/img/external-link.png, in which the mind continues to repeat the same negative thoughts.
"When you see you are not your thoughts or your emotions, then you have a whole different palette of ways to be," Kabat-Zinn said.
Roots in the East
Many would say mindfulness as it is practiced in Western society has its roots in the East, in Buddhism, noted moderator Steve Paulsonof the public radio program "To the Best of Our Knowledge."
"Is mindfulness a spiritual practice?" Paulson asked the panelists.
"For me, I don't talk about spirituality, because I don't know what spiritual means," the University of Wisconsin's Davidson said. "I think what we're talking about is part of every human being's innate capacity."
Buddhist monks, whom Davidson has studied, provide a "sample of convenience," a group of people who have all received the same training, an important consideration for research, he said.
The neuroscience
Brain scans of meditating people show different patterns of activity depending on the practitioner's level of experience. These patterns also differ depending upon the type of meditation practice used, Davidson said Work in Davidson's lab indicates a connection between meditation and resilience. A response to stress becomes problematic when someone perseverates, or has an emotional reaction long after the problem has ended. In the brain, this shows up as the prolonged activation of a region known as the amygdala.
Mindfulness can increase the speed of recovery in the amygdalahttp://global.fncstatic.com/static/v/all/img/external-link.png, and the more hours of formal practice people have, the faster their amygdalas recover, the data indicate, Davidson said.
This panel was the last of a four-part serieshttp://global.fncstatic.com/static/v/all/img/external-link.png on consciousness, moderated by public radio host Paulson and presented by the Nour Foundation.

THE POWER TO HEAL – IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD


          When someone says your health problems are all in your head, they are absolutely right. Diet, exercise, pharmaceuticals, etc. can affect our health, but in the end, vibrant health depends on clear communication between the body and the brain. The only power that can heal the body is the power that created it, and access to that power can be found in the human brain.


            The most amazing computer in the universe, the human brain, is the project manager over 50 trillion cells. The brain manages the production of enzymes, proteins and thousands of other chemicals and substances that constitute the body. All of this happens without any conscious thought on our part. What an amazing miracle! However, like any computer, the brain’s programming can get corrupted and when it does, illness may occur.

Think of your brain as the main processor and the body as the screen. Anything that happens in the body, originates in the brain. Science tells us that when we have a thought, the body responds by signaling the glands to produce different chemicals that can either stress us or relax us. Thoughts of joy and peace will relax our body, but thoughts of worry or fear can cause tension and pain. Patterns of long term negative thinking, which are like virus programs running in the brain, will eventually exhaust the glands and other body systems, leading to breakdown, pain and disease.



Pain is the unconscious brain’s way of trying to get the attention of the conscious mind to correct the negative thinking that is causing the pattern that is exhausting the glands and damaging the body. That is a mouthful, but that is exactly what is happening when we develop disease. Disease starts out as a thought. First we allow ourselves to think negative thoughts and then negative patterns develop. Or sometimes the patterns were inherited from our ancestors and have been running our entire life.  The body responds to the negative thoughts and patterns by producing hormones and other acidic chemicals. Originally, these chemicals and hormones, which are toxic to the body, were designed to stimulate the body temporarily to great strength and ability when there was a perceived threat in order to be ready for fight or flight responses.

The problem comes when the brain’s programming is corrupted and it perceives a threat when none exists. The same fight or flight chemicals are produced, but not just temporarily. They are produced continuously for long periods of time. This is why the glands exhaust themselves and the body gets out of balance and disease symptoms start to set in. If the body is like a computer screen, at this point, it would seem unwise to cut a hole in the screen to remove the symptoms or to try to mask the symptoms by cutting the wire to the screen. A more logical solution would be to restore the correct programming and remove any interference in communication between the body and the power that created it.


B.E.S.T. (Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique) reprograms the subconscious brain and restores it back to its original design. Once the negative programming is removed, the body can begin to heal itself. Many people have seen relief from chronic pain, stress, phobias, addictions, and other health issues with B.E.S.T. and with positive thinking. The power that made the body is the power that heals it. You have the power within to heal anything if you put your mind to it. Remember, it’s all in your head!
