From a psychological, Biblical, and mystical perspective, I firmly believe that all thoughts, whether good, bad, or indifferent, come from God, demonstrating that human consciousness is deeply connected to a greater, universal source. And to be clear, there is only one God. Whether through the collective unconscious, divine intuition, or spiritual oneness, our thoughts are manifestations of a higher intelligence, not isolated events in the mind. In this sense, each thought can reflect God’s presence within us, guiding and shaping our lives through inspiration, creativity, and wisdom.
The saying “a penny for your thoughts” suggests that our thoughts hold value, even if it’s just a small token. But what if your thoughts are worth much more than a penny? Selling your thoughts and turning them into income involves transforming your ideas, creativity, and imagination into valuable products or services others are willing to pay for. Several insightful books have explored and clarified this concept, profoundly influencing my understanding of making it work. For instance, Dr. Joseph Murphy’s “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” and Neville Goddard’s “Thoughts Are Things” emphasize the powerful idea that our thoughts shape our reality. Focusing on positive, actionable thoughts can turn our dreams into tangible personal and financial successes. Similarly, William Walker Atkinson’s “Thought Vibration” discusses how focused thought and mental clarity can influence outcomes, urging us to tune our minds to the right vibrations that attract success. Dr. Raymond Charles Baker’s “Profitable Thinking” takes this further by offering practical strategies for turning concepts into profit through thinking that generates financial gain. Henry Thomas Hamblin’s “The Power of Thought” explores how intentional and controlled thinking can unlock hidden potential, leading to growth and prosperity in both personal and professional life.
Combining the lessons from these books makes it clear that your thoughts are more than just ideas. They’re powerful assets that can be monetized. To start, it’s crucial to identify what resonates with your audience. Whether writing books, creating articles, developing blog content, or producing videos and courses, your unique perspective is the key to standing out. You can build a following and earn money through blogs, YouTube, and social media by identifying a niche or target market for your thoughts. Other avenues include self-publishing on Amazon, selling artwork on sites like Etsy, or offering consulting services to share your expertise. If you’re skilled at public speaking, consider hosting workshops, participating in speaking events, or launching a podcast. You can even license your ideas or partner with brands to promote your concepts. The key to success is consistency and recognizing the inherent value in your thoughts. By sharing them in ways that entertain, educate, or help others, you unlock endless opportunities to earn while doing what you love.
For example, my favorite science fiction book, “Sekle315: Spacecraft Mission to Saturn’s Moon – Discovering the Virelephanti Aliens on Enceladus,” published in 2023, marks my debut as a fiction author. The idea for this book came to me while taking a shower, and it soon became a story about a 2095 exploratory mission to one of the most studied worlds in the solar system: Enceladus.
I’ve been fascinated by this moon for years and have read so much about it that I feel like a subject matter expert. Enceladus is the sixth largest of Saturn’s 156 moons. The Cassini spacecraft, which studied Saturn and its moons, revealed that Enceladus has a massive ocean of salty water beneath its icy surface. Authentic images from NASA show jets of icy water continuously shooting into space from beneath the surface.
The spacecraft’s name is Sekle315. Sekle is my middle name, originating from the Kru Tribe, and 315 represents my birthday, March 15. As for the Virelephanti Aliens, the concept came to me in a divine, intuitive vision of an alien standing on two feet, with features combining both a man and an elephant without the trunk and tusks. This alien species is far more intellectually and scientifically advanced than humans. To create the name, I combined the Latin words for “man” and “elephant” and coined the term Virelephanti.
For the book cover, I collaborated with a talented graphic artist who brought my vision of Enceladus to life. He captured Saturn as a massive planet dominating its moons, with Enceladus’s vast ocean of salty water shooting into space as I had imagined.
