Deductive thinking is limited thinking...

Those of us who have truly studied the Law of Attraction now know that the Law of Attraction, like all cosmic and universal laws, is either working with the manifestation of your true desires or against the manifestation of your true desires.  Furthermore, we know that in order for the Law of Attraction to work with you in the manifestation of your true desires, your vibrational frequency must match or align with your true desires.

With this know-how, knowledge, and wisdom, those of us who have studied the Law of Attraction identify Deductive Thinking as one of the major causes of the Law of Attraction working against the manifestation of our true desires. Deductive Thinking is not about what you think as much as it is how you think. 

As we learn and study the Law of Attraction, we discover and recognize the patterns of “negative” thinking, but many people find it difficult to break the habit of negative thinking.  Personally, I have had people come to me and say, “Carmellita, I can’t help it.  No matter how hard I try to think positive, the negative stuff just seems to come out of nowhere.” 

Both Roslyn and I have discussed this in detail here before at bluelotusliving.com, in workshops, and group sessions, your vibrational frequency will determine what thoughts you will attract from the mental plane.  However, just as importantly, how you think determines your vibrational frequency.

Therefore, let’s explore Deductive Thinking.  Deductive Thinking is thinking according to deductive reasoning.  This type of thinking is consequential and argumentative.  An example is…

All dogs are carnivores.

Chihuahuas are dogs.

Chihuahuas are carnivores.

As such, if one thinks in such a deductive pattern, then it would be difficult to accept that a friend of mine has two Chihuahuas that eat a vegan diet (herbivore).  In fact, if you dropped a piece of meat on the floor, they won’t eat it. 

People who think along these patterns shut themselves off to any other possibilities because their minds are closed to anything other than where their deductive reasoning concluded.   And this is where Deductive thinking causes the Law of Attraction to work against you in the manifestation and creation process instead of with you.

For example, my brother and one of his friends were leaving my hometown of Tallulah, Louisiana to visit some friends who attended college in Hammond, Louisiana.  There was supposed to be a big Greek Step Show at the university and they wanted to get there as soon as possible in order to get invites to all the parties happening that weekend. 

My brother who visited Hammond quite often had a way to get there through highway 55 South that would get them there quickly.  He had traveled that way several times and it had gotten him to Hammond in just a few hours. 

Well, his friend believed that the “interstate” route would be faster because as he deductively reasoned, “you can drive faster on the interstate than you can on the highway.  Highway speed limits in Louisiana are usually 55 to 60 miles an hour where interstate speed limits are 70 miles an hour.  This made sense to my brother’s friend and he couldn’t see any other possibilities.

My brother tried to explain to him that he had traveled both ways and that 55 South always got him to Hammond much faster.  His friend couldn’t see it.

Both were planning to take their cars, so my brother told his friend to go the way he saw best and he would go his way.  They decided to leave out at the same time and see who would get there faster.  As it happens, my brother got to Hammond nearly 2 hours before his friend.  Nonetheless, his friend accused my brother of cheating, “you must have left out earlier than me,” were his words.

Deductive Thinking and the Realm of Infinite Possibilities

Deductive thinking shuts you off from the realm of infinite possibilities.  The realm of infinite possibilities makes all things possible to him or her that believes in the possibilities.  When we tap into the realm of infinite possibilities we will attract to us by way of the Law of Attraction and our own vibrational frequency the possibilities we can see manifesting in our reality.  In other words, if you believe it, you will see it.  Yes, believing is seeing.

Deductive thinking limits what you can attract from the realm of infinite possibilities because you only see what you have deductively reasoned as possible.  Here’s an exercise to give a more detailed example…

Charlie, Lisa, Joe, and Darcy all went to the farmers market to get some fruits and vegetables. 

Charlie purchased 3 apples, 9 nectarines, 4 carrots, 2 cucumbers, 6 oranges, 2 cabbages, and 2 pounds of grapes.

Lisa purchased 8 apples, 1 cucumber, 5 oranges, 4 tomatoes, 2 cucumbers, a pound of okra, and 12 pears.

Joe purchased 1 apple, 4 oranges, 7carrots, a pound of spinach, and a pound of grapes.

Darcy purchased 12 apples, 12 oranges, and 3 pounds of grapes.

If someone asked you… “Out of these friends who went the farmer’s market, who has 3 apples?”

Deductive Thinking may lead you to the following answer…Charlie.  When the answer is Charlie, Lisa, and Darcy.  Lisa may have 8 apples but she still has 3 apples and so does Darcy. 

If someone asked you, “Out of these friends who went to the farmer’s market, who purchased fruit only from the farmer’s market?”  Deductive Thinking may lead a person who does not know that tomatoes, cucumbers, and okra were fruit to answer… “Darcy.”  But the answer is Darcy and Lisa. 

Do you now see how deductive thinking can limit your ability to see all the possibilities available to you?  What if three apples were your true desires?  If you believe Charlie was the only person who can make your true desires possible, then you would not have been opened to Darcy or Lisa’s abilities to make your true desires manifest in your reality.

Deductive Thinking or Deductive Reasoning comes from a vibrational frequency which is synonymous with lack.  And that vibrational frequency is the “limited time, limited amount, limited ability” mentality.  In short, it is thinking limited.  Eventually, a limited thinking mentality leads to limited opportunities because you can only see what you already believe is possible.

Until next time friends, remember to open your mind to wisdom and infinite possibilities and always…Let the Creative Spirit move you.
