Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 POWER OF THOUGHT(Chapter 20)Thought is the seed of creation, and the source of all action, from which this vast universe has sprung. One must think great thoughts. You need to unfetter the mind from the mundane before you can achieve great things. You are as big as your thoughts. You are only as good as your thoughts, however fantastic you appear to the outer world. Nothing manifests in the world without first having been thought about and then put into words, which are merely thoughts in another form. Once the desire is strong enough, it goes forward and is coupled with the will to set the wheel of life in motion, action follows. God's activity creates a living image of the first thought. You can readily see how your life is a manifestation of your thoughts. That is the power of thought. The power and energy of thought which is so omnipotent that it controls everything in the universe. It determines and decides action and reaction. Your pure, noble and loving thoughts can create the same miracles God's will can but they must be exempt from all the negative emotions. So it behooves you to think only the best. Be constructive in your thoughts. Do not create evil in your life. Use your God given mind to bring beauty and peace, not havoc into the world. Let kindness, sympathy and love for your brothers and sisters radiate from your being like a beacon. Do good : let it be your motto.Unfortunately, in the world today, there are more negative thoughts and negative acts than positive ones. Since we create our own reality with our thoughts, this builds up in the atmosphere, in the universe as negative thought forms. We put our energy into them and then wonder why they return to us as problems and sufferings. At some point, we have to make an effort to dissipate all these thought forms. We created them and only we can unmake them. Everywhere you look, the negative qualities will be there. In every newspaper you pick up, there is only bad news. To get rid of them, they must be removed from within your own heart and mind with the power of love.Whether negative or positive, thoughts are a real energy form and they carry the future in them. Thought energy form does not dissolve or disappear but remains in the atmosphere forever and circulates around the entire planet. When it comes into contact with similar energy forms, it is vitalized and reenergized and gains further strength. Negative energy patterns seeks out other sources of their kind as do positive energy forms. They are attracted to similar thought patterns be they positive or negative. Only positive thought forms can negate negative ones. In our atmosphere, we have accumulated, over thousands of years, violent and terrible thought energy derived from wars, suffering, famines and the mental distress of the oppressed. These are freely roaming and are like dark clouds encircling the earth. Most people are susceptible to these free roaming thought forms. More so now in this age when stress and the rat race pose insurmountable problems. Our auras are weak and unable to withstand the onslaught of these energy forms. These very thought patterns create the future of collective mankind. They shape the collective soul as well as the individual soul. They shape the collective future as well as the individual future. Our personal individual thoughts generate our individual karma, individual futures.When there are wars and disasters, we need to understand that they have been created by all of us. Those horrors exist in our thoughts. They must be eliminated from each one of us before the world can mirror the beauty within. Before they can be eradicated from the world, they must be eradicated from each and every heart and mind. The world is the manifestation of the thoughts poured into it. Bring peace on earth by thinking peace. When enough of mankind pulls together on this one thought, the power will be so great, darkness will be completely removed from the earth. Each one can do but little, but if each will do his or her small share, the whole world will be completed. Do your part by concentrating your thoughts on peace and God and see what a change it brings in your life. Thought is the source of everything in the universe. Words are the slaves of the mind. Make their master kind and loving, worthy of the power entrusted by God.Thoughts are like a dynamo setting the wheels of destiny in motion, guard them carefully. Learn to think clearly, putting your thoughts together concisely before translating them into speech. When this is done, much of the harm in the world can be nullified. Most of the evil in the world is carried out in ignorance, through careless thoughts and words. When you are childlike and not aware of the rules of life, you are excused, but once the rules have been imparted to you, you must obey them or suffer the consequences. It is very easy to do harm without thinking. In fact, we are prone and easily swayed by negative emotions. Stop, think, analyze and assess each thought and feeling before acting.If thought is the origin of the world, then one has only to look at our world today and see what we have created. Before you do anything, before you speak, before you act, what do you do? Think a thought, an idea, a visualization. Everything we see now is someone's idea. Nothing exists that was not some person's thought. We create our own environment. We create our own disasters. We create our own lives, all by the thoughts that we entertain in our minds. The mental power to create that we have and are endowed with is tremendous and there is no concept, no way of explaining of how intensely powerful it is. You can create anything you want, anything at all be it good, be it bad. Your thoughts and what you think today is what you create around you, maybe not today, tomorrow, next week, maybe in the next year, or in twenty years or next lifetime. One of the ways that we can see this is happening is through the media. The media, one of the most powerful forms of expression today, creates all sorts of disaster stories, movies, horrific visualizations, every depth of thought. They sow the seeds in the newspapers of how people are expected to think, how they should think, how they are guided to think. And what we think is what we create. All the writers, journalists, directors, media men, movie moguls, create an array of fictitious stories. And these stories, all of them, eventually become true in time. Global media, filmmakers, writers and the media moguls have the power to create the future destiny of mankind. However, each and every person also carries the burden of this responsibility for we are all parts of the whole. And, if the good outweighs the bad, we have a positive balance and vice versa.Thought, belief and faith hold a vital place in this process. They are extremely powerful. The way you think so things happen, react and respond. If you hold superstitions, then by your very belief in them, you make them true for you. That is the strength of the power that thought wields. The strength of belief that something ominous will take place will always ensure that it does. However, this does not affect everything in your life because you are born with certain aspects and certain processes that you have to go through and experience. Nevertheless, good thoughts and the unshakeable faith that nothing can harm you can mitigate the forthcoming events. More importantly, your whole life is not governed by the past, much of it is shaped by your behavior and actions now. It is those parts that are affected by thought power, negative or positive.When you see prophecies coming true, one thinks 'Ah well, this person had foresight'. It is not so much foresight as it is thought energy. He generated thoughts, thoughts created the time field; the time field generated the reality. This is how we work and live in this world. The media, in respect of films, create disaster films with a spectrum of horror. They are not just creating them on film, they are creating in actual reality. This then takes form in some dimension and has validity and that, in turn, eventually manifests in other dimensions, and from there, it is but a step for it to manifest in the physical material world. Then, it is real and we have to face it. This truth has to be understood so that this type thinking changes. If the thinking changes on a global level, only then can society and the world change. Focused, channeled good thoughts change the space vibrations around us and emanate peace and harmony into our environment and world.On the individual level, it concerns you, your environment and your life. But then, there are great thinkers, influential people who have unqualified control over the world, over the people, their thinking and thoughts. They comprise of newspaper men, filmmakers and writers plus a host of allied industries and organizations. They create these realities, which we eventually have to suffer. Therefore, they have a responsibility, we all have a responsibility to think the correct kind of thoughts, think before you even think. Is it going to create something that is bad for me? Is it going to create something that is good for me? Is it going to be good for the world? We must understand the concept of how the dimensions in the universe work and the world operates. We are continuously creating our own problems, our own terrors, our own fears. When they come to life, we are amazed, how did this happen? Somebody created them, maybe not five years ago or ten years ago, perhaps fifty years ago in the past. Somebody thought those thoughts, and those thoughts took on a reality.The mind can be likened to a mad monkey, a wild animal that must be curbed and controlled. It is like a train without brakes that is free of all restraint. It is like an avalanche that blazes a trail of devastation. It runs by itself on the proverbial wheels. It often sets to planning, creating and reviewing situations what is, has been or will be. This tendency has to be overcome. One has to establish restraints and structure in the mind to forestall this eventuality, a safety mechanism : this can be developed by programming the conscious mind, that will in turn, reflect and resound in the subconscious mind. After all, the mind is programmed in its habits from birth by one's environment and society and that programming can, by conscious effort, be altered.It is only in the silence of the mind that the voice of God can be heard. It is only in the silence, the thoughtless state, the thinklessness that God can manifest Himself in you. As you live more in His company, more in the void, the mind will become amenable and docile and lost the tendency to wander hither and thither on its own. It can be reigned in and trained to enjoy and revel in the golden silence and in the process, thoughts are balanced and positive. This is how to exercise control on the mind.We all fail to understand the significance of every act that we do, every thought that we entertain. Each one is vital in forming the future. In fact, a murder committed unwittingly does not carry the same punishement, penalty or karmic backlash or is treated as heinous a sin as a harmful thought or action intentionally carried out. Such is the extent of the difference in unintentional harm and positive intentional harmful thought. A minor error can and does cause a major harm; that is why it is so important to be aware of God, to be conscious, to be prepared to help others, to be willing to serve. Through service, you can avoid the negative emotions and acquire a pure heart. Only at that level can you fail to entertain wrong thoughts or bad feelings.He will come to you but you must be careful that you do not form a barrier of negative thoughts between you and Him. These barriers, once they have been raised, cannot be removed so quickly. One's thoughts and beliefs are generated by one's environment, family and society. That is why it is vital that our children be educated in the correct manner, in the manner of loving the Lord and respecting all others as His forms. Not fearing the Lord, not fearing Him out of sin or out of guilt. Fear must be eradicated for love to develop. Once you harbor prejudices and irremovable ideas, it will become impossible for you to gain a nearness to Him. These barriers, these ideas, these emotions, these prejudices will take time to be taken apart, one brick at a time; to be conquered and destroyed before He can enter into your heart.Do not allow fear and apprehension for the future to ruin the present. How do you know that events may not work out better than you could ever dream of. The trick is not to be negative and to remember the power of thought. If you think positive, you can even alter future events. Much of what we suffer is caused solely by negative thinking. You may insist that when the pressure piles up, then everything appears to be bleak, problems, problems and more problems. How can we NOT be worried? This can be solved in one fell stroke. If all these problems were to be removed, would you be truly happy? Will the absence of worry make you happy? No, because man is such that he will create worries. As soon as some are removed, he will have desires through which further obstacles will be raised. So be content and happy always.Once one has started the upward climb on the path to God, all thoughts are intensified so they return more quickly to the sender. Practicing disciplines and attempting to purify your mind and heart results in the intensification of the power in the thoughts you think and the words you utter. It is a concentrated power. It is like a refining process - when the dross is removed from sugar can, the resultant sugar is purer and sweeter in taste. So it is with all things. Once the refining process, the disciplines and purity have commenced, then your thoughts are concentrated and therefore, they have tremendous potential for good or harm, a hundred fold or even a thousand fold. Therefore, beware of bad thoughts and keep only good thoughts in your mind. Make your mind a place of light and truth.We have become so used to negative speech that we are not even aware of using it. From now on, try to watch yourself. Observe what you think and what you say for it is vitally important. Examine your every thought and speak only what is right which will, in turn, become right action. To be a part of God, one must think correctly. To earn His love, you must at least try and do right even though you may, at times, fail. Start thinking correctly this moment and your next moment will be a manifestation of that thought. Start the ball rolling. Speak only words that are true, kind and helpful. Observe your words and you will see how most of our speech is, in fact, useless, harmful and, at times, aimless babbling. What is said in kindness is sometimes not helpful, and what is true is sometimes better left unsaid.Think the highest thoughts about yourself and others. Imagine the person you would be if you lived that thought each and every day. What would you think, do and say, and what would other people's responses be to you? Is there a difference between what you think now and what you would then think? Think of one wonderful event you would like to happen in your life. Think of it every night for one minute and then let go of it completely and see what happens. You have invented your world and you can change it.You must profit by these words of wisdom, mark them well. The value of good words can never be over estimated. In the tongue lies the power to create, preserve or destroy. The tongue is the instrument of the mind. As you think, so you will speak. Remember there are no idle words. Every word uttered takes a form and becomes manifest. Thoughts take shape according to the intensity with which they are spoken or thought. They collect the power of similar energy in the atmosphere and then return to you. Actions come from words. Words are spoken by the tongue. The tongue is controlled by the mind. Mind is a bundle of thoughts. Everything originates from thoughts.(From : THE KEY TO GOD'S HEART by R SAI)Copyright by the Author. All rights reserved.
