The Source of Your Power
What if everything you know about thinking is backwards? The Divine Trinity 3/3
"What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow. Our life is the creation of our mind."
— The Buddha
Desires become thoughts, thoughts become actions and actions mold ourselves into what we become. The great civilizations of the past and societies of today are the sum totality of the thoughts of their citizenry.
We all want to think clearly and powerfully in order to build a better future for ourselves and our posterity.
In order to do that, we need to understand what thought is, its mechanics and its source…
The Divine Trinity
You’ve heard it time and again: focus harder — expand our minds — think outside the box. But most of us never consider the structure and mechanics of thinking itself — or the process.
This article is a framework rooted in how God thinks: the Triune process of concentration (1) and decentration (2), both anchored by a fulcrum (3)—the motionless source of your knowledge from which all thought manifests.
By the end, you’ll gain a powerful lens to observe your own thoughts, master your cognitive rhythm, and begin to learn to align your thought processes with Nature’s.
The Components of Thought
Concentration: The Focused Condition of Thinking
Concentration is the compressive, positive condition of thought. Like a magnifying glass focusing a large volume of light to a point — it focuses thought energy to a point.
Concentration is multiplication — its gravitative.
In the context of thinking, concentration always produces thought bodies. Thought bodies are either mental images or sounds.
“The Soul never thinks without an image.”
— Aristotle

Decentration: The Expanded Condition of Thinking
The equal and opposite of concentration is decentration — the expansive, negative half of the thought process. This is not “negative” in a bad way, but in the sense of releasing pressure or relaxing tension.
This is the state of mind when you daydream, when solutions come to you unexpectedly. Its that state of mind in which one could be called 'absentminded’.
Decentration is division — a release — its radiative.
If concentration is the act of generating the seeds thought body, decentration is the act of scattering the seeds so they may produce more of their kind.

The Fulcrum: Your Mind
Neither concentration nor decentration can exist on their own. Like the ends of a seesaw, they require a stable center. If fact, without that unmoving center, the seesaw couldn’t move, the universe couldn’t move, and you couldn’t think.
That center is the FULCRUM — your MIND.
And centering your MIND is DESIRE — the motivating source of thought.
This fulcrum is the motionless, silent source of energy, power, love and IDEA which all thought and motion SIMULATE.
The fulcrum is like the still hub of a wheel. Extended from it’s non-dimensional source are the eternal qualities of Mind — eternally expressed in moving quantities which are simulating those qualities.
The fulcrum of thought is dimensionless, vibrationless and still.
Because it is still it doesn’t move.
Because it doesn’t move it doesn’t change.
Because it doesn’t change —
It is ETERNAL.
GOD is MIND.
In thinking, the fulcrum is not another "mode" of thought—it’s the origin of thought. It’s the place you return to when you meditate and pause before speaking. It is the still center where you balance yourself before beginning another cycle of thought.
"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still"
— Exodus 14:14
The Electric Thought Wave
Thoughts are waves. Waves are expressions of its still fulcrum.
The concentrative half of the thought cycle compresses and polarizes potential into a body at a wave amplitude (crest). The decentrative half ‘unwind’s and depolarizes that potential back to the static fulcrum — which then oscillates back to the concentrative half of the thought cycle — compressing and polarizing another body at the opposite wave amplitude (trough).
Mind qualities are eternal.
Thought quantities are eternally repeated.
God’s thought process and yours are ONE.
How to Think from the Mind
In essence — thinking from one’s Mind — really means EQUALLY BALANCING one’s thinking concentratively and decentratively.
Waves are rhythmic.
So is everything in your life: your breathing, heartbeat, circadian rhythm, peristalsis of digestion, circadian rhythm, hormonal cycles, mensuration, etc.
To mimic Nature, and to think from your Mind, one’s thinking should be rhythmic and balanced.
"The keystone of the entire structure of the spiritual and physical universe is Rhythmic Balanced Interchange between all opposites." — Walter Russell
When you become aware of your inner fulcrum (peace), you align with the natural rhythm of intelligence (God Mind) itself and can begin to control the storms of ones Mind.
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." — Jesus the Nazarene, John 14:27
A test you can use is this —
When you are doing any sort of work whatsoever, does time seem to fly by? As an athlete, have you ever been ‘in the zone’?
When one is thinking balanced and rhythmically with God, one reflects God’s qualities of: Love, Harmony, Inspiration, and Beauty.
When we are in that rhythm, we experience the God quality of ‘timelessness’ — or eternity.
If you are feeling frustrated, tired or stressed, you have let your mental pendulum swing too far by concentrating too much or by decentrating too much — identify it and swing your pendulum the other way.
Have you ever been ‘in the zone’? Or have you experienced breakthroughs after stepping away from a problem? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
Final Thoughts
Next time you're in a rut, ask yourself:
Am I concentrating too much/overthinking?
Am I drifting in the expansive/dreaming without action?
Or have I forgotten the still center entirely?
Even a few seconds of silence can reorient your mind toward balance, clarity, and power.
Return to the fulcrum — the source of your power.

What does it mean, really, that a motionless dimensionless “fulcrum” — which sounds like a zero-point — be the source of anything, including thoughts? The word “source” implies something spatial or causal, which in turn implies relativity and substance.
Very eloquently framed, I resonate with this framework quite deeply. Appreciate the concentration it took to write this post ☺️
