Das Buch, von dem die "Eliten" nicht wollen, dass du es liest - Die Macht der Gedanken (Hörbuch)

the power of thoughts by henry thomas hamblem chapter 1 victims of ignorance there are probably not many people who intentionally think negatively most people will have good intentions and want to be good but most people are more or less negative thinkers the reason It is probably predominantly in ignorance to search for humanity it is not enlightened that negative thoughts have a highly destructive effect it is not generally known, we revel in them in our ignorance and even imagine that we do not care about thoughts of anger, revenge, hatred, gold , envy, ruminating about bad things, losses or pain are Destructive Fearful thoughts fail Weakness Poverty Diseases and death are all destructive They harm us in terms of health They affect our happiness They cause us unpleasant circumstances and have a destructive effect on everyone areas of life They cause our nervous system to collapse They paralyze our efforts They undermine our will.

They tempt us to make wrong decisions. It is easy to see that this is an extremely important area and yet neither children nor adults are aware of these connections. This almost universal ignorance allows us to sink into negative thoughts and causes. great damage to us, as many people know, for example. Deaths in prolonged periods of hunger are due to thinking and not to lack of food. If a person does not eat enough, they usually die within a few days. Someone fasts intentionally to cure themselves of an organic disease and if this cure can be carried out wisely they can go 40 or more days without food and not only survive this time unscathed but even benefit from it.

Where does this forced fasting come from? of a few days leads to death while a voluntary fast of six weeks can bring good things. Of course, we can find the answer in the mental attitude of the person in question and what kills the first person is not the lack of food but the nature of it. After a few days without eating, the person usually finds themselves in a state of great weakness and exhaustion. The person who fasts of his own free will continues to work and only reduces his workload in the final phase of his work.

During the Lent of the Lord. who fasted for salvation for almost 50 days and about whom we have recently learned from the newspapers not only performed his daily tasks but also wrote a book on this subject and as you know this requires a high degree of concentration necessary a comparison with the hungry. A person who collapses after a few days and dies as an example shows very clearly the power of consciousness and the hungry person thinks that he is going to die because he has nothing to eat, the result is that he will soon die, the person who fasts thinks that the Fasting improves your health, the result is that you become healthier and perhaps even cured of an organic disease.

Lately we have read a lot in the newspapers about prominent people who voluntarily underwent a fasting regimen to become healthier in this way, but that's all. What it is Nothing new, as far as I know, this type of cures were already known in certain circles a quarter of a century ago, although at that time the spiritual aspect had not yet been understood. There is nothing to say against the fact that the hungry. A person, as long as they had eaten well previously, could not survive as long as the fasting person would. If you simply align your thinking the same way as the fasting person, you would first have to be convinced that fasting is good for your body. and promotes your health However, this would not be easy right away because ignorance and prejudice are difficult to get rid of and people tend to do so.

Full of fear as you look into the future, you would be worried because you would be afraid. He does not receive any food after his forced fast, but the fact is that it is not the lack of food that is sending him to death, but rather his mental attitude, he is being killed by his fear in the same way as the fasting person. He voluntarily stays alive through his thoughts and expectations, conserves his strength and is still able to work. From these words it cannot be concluded that I am in favor of careless fasting, unless a reckless attitude can certainly cause great harm in this case, however healing it may be.

Still, it should be done under expert supervision. There is another point about which there is much ignorance: the possibility of disciplined thought control, that thoughts can be regulated in the same way that a police officer directs traffic at an intersection. , this is not something that is known. The police officer raises his hand and immediately the traffic behind him stops and other road users can pass. We can transfer this analogy to our thoughts. I remain still while desired and constructive thoughts can be invoked. People say that goes through my head over and over again. They do nothing about it, they talk as if thoughts cannot be directed or controlled.

It can be changed in the same way as a conversation topic, for example. Each of us can intentionally change a topic of conversation. It is a question of will. We can change our thoughts almost as easily as we have to. We want to and we cannot excuse ourselves by saying that it is impossible, but not only can we change the content of our thoughts, but we can even stop thinking completely. In both cases these are achievements of the highest value that can be achieved through them. practice and training Even the weakest can master them if they simply persevere.

It does not require any special intelligence, talent or other extraordinary abilities. Every normal person can learn to control their thoughts through perseverance. thoughts we also control ourselves. Only then do we become true artists of life, not resisting the discipline of life's experiences, but dealing with them as best we can, cultivating a balanced, calm mind and a secure faith. of suggestion To some extent, each of us definitely suffers from suggestion and unscrupulous people deliberately exert influence on other people to obtain advantages for themselves, says the lawyer in court, for example, I would like to suggest to you that and then follow suggestions that could be false and dishonest, but the witness is so overwhelmed that the value of his In this way, a strong spirit takes over a weaker one through force of will and suggestion.

The hypnotist suggests that his victim place a piece of cold metal on him. The back of the hypnotized person is a red-hot iron and immediately the flesh begins to burn and blister in the same way that it would react if it were a real burn, perhaps it also suggests to its victim that a cup of paraffin is a cup of lemonade . and the victim drinks the wax with pleasure. These examples show us how powerful suggestions are, as Dr. Scofield describes in one of his books. Two famous doctors who wanted to demonstrate the power of suggestion and talked to a man in a restaurant.

He told him that he looked very bad and that he should go to bed. The man knew the reputation of the doctors, he believed them, went home and lay down in the bed where he died. Doctors certainly should not be accused of bad intentions and they probably did. Only a slight indisposition was expected as a result of his ordeal. Every day in magazines and newspapers they suggest that we should take this or that medicine and pills; perhaps we have been reading about advertisements like this for years. But one day we will go. to the pharmacy and see a man with blinking eyes having fun and constantly looking for the handkerchief.

This vision suggests that you have the flu and if you don't have a positive attitude, it won't be long before you catch it. Also when we start coughing the suggestion comes to us in a thousand different ways, we receive it through our eyes, ears, smell and touch, we are at its mercy at every corner unless we acquire a basic positive attitude to resist the suggestion . in all its senses To protect the varieties, I can only point out a few more aspects in which suggestion influences us unconsciously. I no longer have space for drug advertisements in newspapers and magazines.

It has already been mentioned that every day we are reminded to take certain pills. As far as the power of suggestion is concerned, these advertisements pale in comparison to modern advertising methods of useless remedies and harmful pills. They show us images of people sneezing. , other photos show us people with back pain or similar, all with the sole objective of suggesting to readers that they could also be affected by such suffering, I still remember well how, when I was a child, I once read a long advertisement in the newspaper with the following headline: What kind of new disease is this that threatens us all?

This affected me so hard that I was convinced I had this disease. I would undoubtedly have become ill if I had not confessed my fears to my parents. I will never forget the joyful criers who followed my confession. My parents could barely contain their laughter, so they also laughed at my fears and since this incident I have been immune to drug advertisements. Many will know the humorous novels of Jerome Kay Jerome. but especially his experience reading a textbook on symptoms. He said that after reading this book he was convinced that he had every disease imaginable with the exception of cleaning lady's knee.

Jerome, of course, wrote with the intention of making his readers smile and entertain him. The truth should not be overlooked: there is the so-called mass suggestion, that is, the influence of large crowds. We all tend to adapt our thinking to the crowd and allow ourselves to be influenced by emotions. In large groups, people's thoughts and emotions. Gatherings of people can be influenced quite easily. However, it is difficult for an individual to remain firmly true to his own thoughts in the midst of such a crowd. This is the reason why people who, under normal circumstances, react sensibly and prudently, make mass with greens.

This is also why people who are peaceful and harmless in their private life can become violent or unruly in a crowd. The excitement of the crowd takes over and literally carries them away. Some people are more receptive to suggestions than others. They are calm and phlegmatic, advertising has less influence on these people. Others are more sensitive and delicate. These people are more susceptible to suggestions and are easy victims unless they learn to arm themselves against them. They easily feel cheated and treated unfairly. You shouldn't feel sorry for yourself. On the contrary, be grateful. People of this type are precisely those who can benefit most from suggestions if they are applied appropriately and scientifically.

Each of us is exposed to them in one way or another. Being tempted leaves the other person cold, which does not mean that they are completely above what temptation is, beyond a suggestion of where or who the suggestion comes from. Here we are interested, it is enough for us to know that we are all victims of suggestion as long as we do not learn. To face it successfully, there is no more subtle suggestion than temptation, it is so insidious that it can hardly be detected even. In our West, in the moments when we prepare to perform noble acts, baser ideas and motives are suggested to us if we do not want to. be victims of them.

We have constant vigilance, that's why we read in the book of all books. Stay awake and pray so as not to fall into temptation. At the end of this chapter I would like to briefly address the comment that is sometimes heard that almost everything in life is suggestion. According to this theory, we only have consciousness and. everything that constitutes our life is the result of suggestions, so for example poverty is the result of a poverty suggested and accepted, illness is the result of a disease suggested and accepted and coma is the result of a comma suggested and accepted as antidote is autosuggestion of the opposite and the desired state, it is recommended that the poor be advised to suggest wealth, abundance and abundance before falling asleep as soon as the subconscious has grasped this suggestion, thus the theory would continue. to change course.

The same process applies analogously to other areas of life. The sick person is advised to aim for health. Many will consider this nonsense, although I do not agree with the teaching in its crude form without further clarification. I do not want to deny that it contains considerable truth, but it is not advisable to play with the subconscious in this way: improper play without deep knowledge or experience can cause more harm than good. Chapter 3the secret of improvement what life looks like as a potter molding and shaping why right thinking is so important right thinking is important because it affects our actions it is important because it shapes character and builds an unbreakable mindset it is important for our well-being and For the success of our lives it is important because we can overcome harmful suggestions through thinkingcorrect.

First of all, we have to make it clear to ourselves that thoughts are the cause of our actions, our behavior and our decisions only when we do it. Can we also mentally overcome life's difficulties? In one sense, it is good to advise people not to indulge in worrying thoughts but to think about beautiful and pleasant things, but there is a danger that this will become a mental habit that is almost as destructive as ruminating about problems, The negative application of well-intentioned advice is responsible for the failure of those people who then say: I tried to think correctly but it didn't work.

Therefore, it was of no use because it was never right. in the right thinking sense, rather it was exactly the opposite. Wrong thinking, people like that say I never think about my problems. I refuse to think about them. That's exactly the point. Instead of bravely facing life's difficulties and mastering them mentally, these people run. He distances himself from them and almost never an unpleasant thought arises. For example, when thinking about an annoying task or a crisis that needs to be resolved, this person chickens out and thinks of something more pleasant. So whoever says there are problems, I never think. about them and whoever represses all unpleasant thoughts has no chance of resolving current difficulties constructively because what he considers to be the correct way of thinking prevents him from making decisions and overcoming his challenges.

If we want to master the practical situation of life, we have. To begin with thoughts, we could then talk about two groups: firstly, people who overcome their obstacles and, secondly, people who are overcome by obstacles, people who are overcome by theirs. Obstacles cannot be overcome and their problems and difficulties cannot be resolved. mentally unless they have deliberately made the decision to avoid unpleasant thoughts due to their misunderstood view of correct thinking. They are at least passive and make no attempt to mentally master the difficulty to be overcome unless they do so later and which they should also master in practical life. the secret of improvement is a mental victory if we regularly find solutions in our thoughts we develop an unbreakable spirit without that goal-oriented spirit no victory can be achieved on the battlefield of life on the other hand there is no humanly solvable problem that It cannot be resolved by an unbreakable spirit if a person's thinking is firmly focused on a certain goal, he will not only succeed but will experience remarkable things or achieve things that he did not dare to hope or dream of through mental overcoming of difficulties, the thought becomes stronger and stronger, it mentally moves towards the difficulty and is pushed further by the full weight of the mind and will, then the whole person also moves forward, overcomes the difficulty and emerges victorious from the other. side.

This creates an inner power that continually accumulates and then helps us succeed when we face this difficulty in practice. This is a completely different approach to reflecting on difficult situations. Worrying about difficult situations is destructive. Anyone who worries about their problems does not only lead to the fire of fear. He is one of the worst destroyers but he also digs grooves in his brain in which his thoughts are infinite. The brain is then conditioned to worry and worry has become a habit, the result is that every time something seems difficult or something goes wrong. We are afraid that things might go wrong, the cells that are besieged by worries and already enriched with nervous energy activate and explode and then we continue down the path we have created for endless worries: that is the goodbye kiss for ours.

Peace of mind, goodbye to restful sleep and, sooner or later, the end of our health. There are people who, by nature, have a tendency to worry. I myself am one of them. They were sentenced to death. They would probably sit down and shorten the waiting time with a book to the executioner next to them. They would say please wait until you have finished the chapter. It only takes two minutes. We received the bad news that he was suffering from a certain illness, we should not worry, we told him, he laughed and then said don't worry, I am not worried, it is not usual in our family, let's take things as they come, we have discovered that in the end But It's not so bad, there is always a balance that shows the amazing difference between people's nature and temperament.

However, the percentage of people who worry is probably much higher. than that of the carefree. Since the topic of worry is so important, a separate chapter must be dedicated to it. We should not worry about our imaginary problems and fears, but we have to face them mentally and voluntarily. It is not allowed under any circumstances. There is probably nothing more negative and destructive than this. Anyone who does not want to face their challenges and avoids them is one of the biggest worry generators of all, the problem will only get bigger and weaker. More cause for concern At the risk of repeating myself, I have to go back to the fact that we first have to solve our problems mentally, the doctrine according to which you simply solve your problems by ignoring and thinking only of beautiful things or surrendering.

Daydreaming can be implemented in a positive way, but unfortunately in most cases it is used in a negative way. If used negatively, it weakens our will, robs us of our own initiative, and does not destroy our ability to make decisions and act instead of creating a problematic situation. To avoid a thought about an unpleasant difficulty or situation, we would do better to act bravely and affirm our ability to overcome it successfully. If those thoughts are met every time they arise with an affirmation of our ability and power to succeed and win, then If we face this situation in practical life and are able to overcome this experience successfully, then we will be mentally stable and will have reserves of strength that will surprise us.

In this way, facing thoughts of failure, difficulties or fears also has an effect. Effect on this From the subconscious, he accepts a clear instruction and recognizes what is expected of him. As a loyal servant, you do not let us down. Such statements may be different and, of course, must be formulated differently depending on the user. For some, just an affirmation from a spiritual or religious perspective can help. For others, such formulations would be of no help. Maybe they need a more psychological variant. Each one has to use the form to which they best respond. with a psychological formulation and then realizing that a different choice of words suits them better.

The one that appeals most to you at the present is the one that best suits you at this moment if a religious person has a thought about a difficulty. , a trial or a fear, could, for example, respond to it with the counterthought or affirmation: I can do all things to him who makes me strong, therefore I will successfully overcome this situation through the power of Christ in me. You can vividly imagine yourself overcoming the problem with momentum, supported by invisible forces. Over time, a mental habit will develop and you will victoriously overcome difficulties and fears instead of running away from the problem;

He approaches it with feeling. to be pushed victoriously that will help him strong character victory certainly convinced of success strong perseverance and was not going to become a different person perhaps he is critical of religiously formulated statements he needs a modified formulation He could, for example, resist the thought of difficulties or fears as follows: Success Victory Mastery and imagine how he emerges from this situation as a winner, albeit supported and strengthened by a power within him that he does not understand. In the course of such mental cultivation, life changes sustainably because the. Character improves instead of being defeated by the adversities of life, these adversities will be conquered.

After a victory achieved in this way, the person in question will find new challenges, will see new and beautiful panoramas, will have discovered what he has. The way of life of him and the characteristics of his circumstances depend on the character of the images of him. If you have images of difficulties or failures, you must incorporate these internal images. The opposite is true. Some people naturally tend to have negative mental images. One thought about rent payment day is enough and they find themselves unable to pay the rent. Like evictions, wage garnishments, and the like come up immediately when they think about their own business.

They live in constant fear of existing, thinking about insolvencies, lack of orders or court dates as employees, they are tormented by images of unemployment, homelessness and other things. restrictions, you witness an accident, you see yourself as a victim and are tormented by corresponding fears, you hear an ambulance, you think of an acquaintance who could allow such mental images requires surgery carries the risk that exactly the conditions visualized and feared disappear. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to transform all those negative mental images into their positive opposite. In this way, not only will the bad effects of such harmful ideas be avoided, but the opposite conditions will also be avoided. , if negative images of failure, poverty, misfortune, accidents, illness and death are transformed into images of desires for success, prosperity, happiness, health and safety, the tendency increases for these desired conditions to be realized in life instead of , for example, being forced to vacate because it is not possible When imagining rent payments, the person in question must visually imagine paying the rent on time and living worry-free in a comfortable home.

This way, you are much more likely to experiment. This desired state A mental image is probably the most powerful way to think about the correct cultivation of those internal images. It cannot be emphasized enough. The result of such cultivation is a positive mental attitude that is highly desirable. Another effect is the training of the character by which we become. strong in areas where we were weak and achieved things that were previously out of our reach Chapter 4 we create our own waste, do we live in an evil universe and are we victims of a malicious and unbridled destiny or do we live in an ordered universe? universe whose principles are help or love - most of them will probably secretly tend to assume the first mentioned assumptions - that is exactly why we are pessimistic even if we are still on the outside Show something different Who knows how many terrible effects are due to This internal pessimism Who believes in bad things increases the probability of bad things happening Believing in failure will produce failure Believing in illness will produce illness So we need a reversal of our beliefs.

A mental reversal will occur on its own. The fact is that we. We live in an ordered universe, but we ourselves are not ordered. We humans do not live in harmony with our true environment. Our true environment is an ordered and perfect universe, which is the hidden commandment of life, love among us, the biologist. Gerhard Wilhelm Reinheimer teaches that everywhere in nature, both in plants and in the animal kingdom, health and further development can be observed if this commandment of union is observed and that if this commandment is violated, the result is diseases and disorders. are: Example predatory or parasitic practices instead of helping each other and each other we must first believe that we live in an ordered universe and that life is on the pedestal of love we must also believe that the cause of our evil or disorder in usSeek life within ourselves is the fact that we are not in harmony with life and are violating the basic universal law of harmony, peace, real success and a carefree life are only possible to the extent that we are in harmony with life with the ordered universe. and work according to the commandment of life, this commandment means loving one another, solidarity, the time will come, we can read in Isaiah when this commandment is universally observed, the lion eats straw, how it runs when you no longer do anything wrong. and not commit any crime, he likes this ideal.

We may still be far away, but we know that the truth can be lived here and now, so we can no longer do anything but bring harmony and tranquility to our lives. We cannot be grateful enough for the fact that we live in an ordered universe. We cannot be grateful enough for striving for harmony with him. We can think and behave in such a way every day that we live in accordance with the basic principle or commandment. of unity and willingness to help Our first thought in any kind of life situation should not be what we get from it, but what useful contribution we can make.

By worldly standards, this is, of course, the height of madness, but in reality such behavior. is the most wisdomelevated and leads to a life of true harmony and satisfaction for the peace of the soul despite all the disappointments and blows, life is basically good, many of these setbacks. However, if we have ourselves to blame, we will not reap the fruits of the seeds of our youth in middle age or old age. Life is good even if it polishes and polishes character, then we stop creating our own problems. Chapter 5 Right thinking and right attitude, the basis for success and prosperity, successful people certainly also have a certain mental attitude.

They include ambition, ingenuity, hard work, willpower and goal orientation. They show commitment and take risks as soon as it turns out that the main reason for their success is their mental attitude. who think about wealth and abundance Life increases the probability of expressing this prevailing way of thinking over time, if we constantly cultivate thoughts of success and prosperity, these circumstances will come into our lives sooner or later; this may be more or less the case. Depending on the professional skills we have or acquire, not all of us can play the first violin, but we can reach the level that best suits us, except for a few who consider themselves experts in all areas and then.

They are useless. Most of us can achieve much more than we previously thought possible. Unimaginable abilities remain latent in each one. Life demands better performance and skills emerge as soon as we take responsibility, often to our own amazement. To the amazement of our friends, I have deliberately had conversations with quite a few unsuccessful people. By this I mean people who, despite hard work and the desire to move forward in life, always stay still no matter how much they are helped and. No matter how numerous the opportunities offered to them, I found the same pattern of thinking in all of them.

These people think of lack and scarcity in terms of failure, and the result of failure is that they unknowingly ensure situations of scarcity. all his actions, decisions and failures are evoked. People who have the same talent or ability do not have the same success. It may seem like one person is simply lucky while the other is unlucky. However, I am deeply convinced that the difference. lies in the fact that a person's mentality is in tune with success and performance and this basic attitude acts as a central axis around which their thoughts, both conscious and unconscious, revolve, the other is fixed on fears and failures; thoughts; one is full of energy and inspiration during the If the efforts of the second are undermined and his energies are absorbed by the hidden idea of ​​failure or the fear of failure and ruin, even though one is born with a success.

While the other has inherited a failure mentality, the second mentioned that nothing necessarily has to fall by the wayside. A mental attitude can be changed. There is no need for the support of an expensive mental expert or a doctor. Everyone can do it. The magic word is change of thoughts. When people change their thoughts, they gradually transform the fixed idea of ​​failure into an idea of ​​success. The mental attitude changes and thoughts are instructed to align with success. Over time, this new mental orientation is transferred to the whole person and he rises like a cork in water instead of sinking like a stone, reaching what he considers to be the pinnacle of his professional career instead of sinking to the bottom. background.

He realizes that there is a lot of wiggle room at the top because only a few use their conscience constructively. He reaches a privileged position because now he uses his consciousness creatively and no longer just for routine work and we must not forget that before winning comes only service. By offering the world a benefit and advantage through our cooperative help, we move away from happiness as long as they do not bring us happiness, money and fame are only substitutes for satisfaction, he is offering benefit and cooperative willingness to help , success before. or later tells Character his own story that ignores others grows at a rapid pace and prerequisites such as serving, helping, helping and the like are usually ridiculed as soon as possible, so we should not focus our thinking exclusively on success and performance. but rather focusing on the benefits and guidance of the willingness to help is not so much about what it does for me but what I can offer because every solid success is based on the extent to which we can contribute something meaningful and useful regardless of what we do.

All this, the fact is that thoughts of success and achievement, while maintaining a consciousness of abundance and prosperity, tend to see such things in us. The subconscious is creative to a degree that I cannot imagine that most people and our minds attract similar things depending on favorable circumstances, as well as knife success or lack of an internal cause for success, must be sought in the intellectual realm, instead of letting thoughts wander at random, we must train them to think constructively. While others waste their free time meaninglessly and doing nothing, we have to convert our thoughts into positive ones and we may very well keep an ideal in our mind all the time and then our thoughts revolve around this ideal quite naturally and effortless. work and move on while other people repay your time with superficial pleasures.

This is not an effort, but an effort. Joy gives us enthusiasm, increases our anticipation and our task becomes comparatively easy, sooner or later, when we are ready, an opportunity will appear. Surely like the dawn and the dusk this law is infallible as soon as we are ready the opportunity will appear to close this chapter Warning that there is a danger that success will become a master and become a slave, so we must strive to achieve the highest form of success. if possible, but generally we have no choice because our ambition, so to speak, is offered to us.

I have to think of a poor child from a country with primary education who is now a consecrated missionary, it is obviously a task that will overwhelm him. In such conditions it cannot be said whether he chose this vocation or was chosen by it, but in any case this life of self-denial and effort despite feverish poverty will be for him. Isolation and misunderstanding of the world bring deep satisfaction to those who find If he is successful in service and wants to improve the world through his contribution and is truly successful, then it no longer matters if this success becomes the master and he becomes the master. his slave, because such slaves are created brings the greatest joy and satisfaction: these are treasures that cannot be bought with any money in the world and elude those who seek their happiness exclusively in external splendor and fame Chapter 6 Effects of thought on Health Thoughts have a greater impact on our health than is generally assumed.

Although hereditary predispositions, nutrient-poor foods, and unhealthy habits certainly play their part, I consider thoughts to be the most important factor. When I talk about thoughts, I also include feelings because they are triggered by thoughts. It is quite possible that emotional energy can be released through thought training. This means that in the works. In books dealing with topics like this, the reader is usually advised to stop thinking about illnesses, ailments, and the like and instead focus their thoughts on strength, well-being, and similar conditions. Basically, this is good advice because ruminating on illnesses and diseases creates a disease-causing condition that will attack your health.

It is okay to think about fulfillment, health, joy of life and vitality. Only good things can come from this. The newcomer to this matter will say: "I am completely healthy." develop the corresponding feeling and create a mental image in which you see yourself healthy, fit and vital. In this way he is taking the first step towards better health. As good as this approach is, he is still alive. It is not the ideal approach, so better methods should be used as soon as possible. There is much more to consider. The real causes of poor health go much deeper.

Of course, this work cannot address the root causes of all diseases. We want to go into some important things first to understand that health is the normal state, it is normal to be healthy and it is abnormal to be sick, there are three emotional states that deprive us of our health, firstly, disinterest, secondly, complexes and, thirdly, worry, these states can be overcome or neutralized by habituating our thoughts to revolve around the following aspects: firstly, unity, secondly, benevolence that includes forgiveness and empathy and, finally, Third, calm. Regarding syphilis and similar diseases, I consider impure thinking to be one of the main causes of diseases and illnesses.

That's what I mean. Indulging in lustful and greedy thoughts, the bad consequences of lustful behavior are bad enough, but the consequences of compulsive thoughts about. Sexuality is just as bad, which is bad from a health point of view, not from a purely moral point of view, since such thoughts trigger desire, which leads to a build-up of emotional energy. This energy needs to be repressed, which is the likely cause. of many physical disorders Repressing all natural desires as something bad or impure is not the best way to deal with this problem, it would only make things worse, the only acceptable way is to think about them.

To put things forward, we have to judge ourselves and realize. that lust and desire can bring us nothing. We are fooling ourselves. There are much more important things. It is certainly better than snowy mountains, heroic deeds, what the great universe is about, eternal truths, or thinking about our journey. of discovery across time and space rather than fantasizing about things that stimulate our sexual emotions or that represent only desperate longings; This happens a thousand times not only for moral, intellectual or spiritual reasons, but also for health reasons. We sublimate them and let our thoughts float over them.

In this way we transform vital forces into superior intellectual and spiritual powers. Instead of suppressing or wasting the life force and energy of our emotional nerves, we use them for something higher. It makes us healthier but spiritual and in terms of character, we can also become more persistent and more efficient. Second aspect: Thoughts of benevolence and forgiveness have a healing and preventive effect on diseases. Hatred, irritability and resentment, prejudice, resentment. and revenge Such thoughts are poison to health, the same applies to anger, anger, passion and similar negative feelings should be cultivated in their place, thoughts of benevolence, forgiveness, tolerance and non-retaliation;

This has a beneficial effect on our health and prevents illness and disease, the reason for this is simply that they bring us into harmony with the commandment of life. Most of us probably aren't filled with hateful thoughts, but even if we don't want to hate or hurt anyone, there may still be some. one or two secret grudges, maybe you have them. Yes, they forgot that they felt abandoned, but the cracks and depths of the subconscious are still there and ensure harmony, which then manifests itself on the outside as an illness or disorder. Third aspect. , every doctor can confirm that stress, pain, anxiety or anxiety cause numerous problems.

Serious illnesses are responsible. Many serious illnesses occur after a phase of tension, fear or uncertainty. Even diseases that are mainly attributed to alcoholic or other excesses worsen when the. The person in question is worried or upset about something. Despite such excesses, a patient only becomes a patient. If you suffer a loss, disappointment, fear or worry, this usually happens very quickly, but other people by no means carry excess. Also the illnesses of life, even if one lives soberly and moderately, worries about a lost child, the pain of a deceived wife, the long-lasting financial problems of a businessman are some examples of the collapse of the nervous system, the force.

It is exhausted and exposes the system so that the disease has free entry. Here it is not the statement that scientific thinking is called correct thinking, here we can keep all the difficulties of our life away, although quite a few of them are at our own expense. In any case, there are still some fruits to be harvested that may be due to wrong seeds, but now we can proceed in such a way that these fruits no longer harm us. That's a big win for the two in front. in the same way When faced with an unpleasant situation, a person reacts incorrectly and becomes sick, unhappy, bitter andbad mood, the other not only survives this situation unharmed but comes out stronger from it by teaching people how to emerge winners in their lives. experiences is one of the most beautiful tasks that many doctors know that a patient has who allows himself to rest in moments of worry, who relaxes and lets himself go and at the same time looks to the future with hope and positivity, who comes out cured of this experience. and gets stronger faster, which also means that you are likely to be saved from a comparable illness in the future.

Correct thinking works in many ways, it prevents and cures diseases, brings us peace and balance and eliminates the disturbances that separate us from the universal order. If each of us could align ourselves completely with the divine there would be no suffering or worries the reason for our suffering is that we are not in harmony living with the perfect divine order within God does not punish us, we do it ourselves through evil and evil what has been done is the detachment from the divine order the prodigal son was not punished by his father he punished himself by leaving his father's house dissolved and left when he returned he was happily forgiven Translated into modern language this means. that we have to let go of a life of mental, desiring and emotional detachment and separation in order to return to the center of life to order and harmony to become one with it.

To do this we need the desire to do this and We have to harmonize all our thinking with the divine core. However, such an undertaking is only possible if we receive heavenly help. All the powers of darkness arise to prevent us from doing so, but there is one of these. before us was also tempted and emerged as the great conqueror, not I but the Christ in me, said Paul, this is the secret of successful thought control Chapter 7 the attraction of thoughts There are two well-known proverbs whose content of psychological truth can be easily understood Overlooked On the one hand, he likes and interacts with others.

Tell me who you associate with and I'll tell you who you are. The source of this attraction lies mainly in people's thinking. friendly, we attract like-minded people. This happens through invisible attractions. It is true that over time you can see the shape of our thoughts. Everyone can see in our faces whether we have pure or dirty thoughts, strong or weak, loving or hateful. Our thoughts not only attract like-minded people, but they also attract similar thoughts. Although the human subconscious can be described as creative in some ways, on the other hand it is more of a thought vessel and not so much a thought generator.

The gateway to good, beautiful, noble and healthy thoughts and the other gateway to a stream full of unwanted, debilitating and destructive thoughts. Thoughts lead, so to speak, to two openings to our subconscious. If we cultivate pure, holistic and benevolent thoughts, the. The door to the heavenly opens and similar thoughts can flow. That is why prayer is so valuable. When we pray, thoughts and attention increase and, directed towards heaven, divine life flows in response, sublime thoughts and ideas restore our openness to bad thoughts. So, in the transition period, the door to bad thoughts may still partially open here and there, and then, when we try to close this door, we are given the so-called temptations and, against the attacking forces, fighting thoughts or suggestions they only open it further, the door to bad thoughts may open further here and there.

The only way to effectively deal with such situations is to increase thoughts and attention to lift the heart towards the good and heavenly reality. Then this door to lower things closes again and opens only sometimes when our attention directed towards good weakens from time to time. , but the influence of the divine continually strengthens and changes us, so that it becomes increasingly easier to direct our thoughts towards the good and, consequently, keep the other door closed, which is the disadvantage of the passage door to divine good remains closed if we allow it, that the door of the weak and evil remains open as long as we direct our thoughts and our attention to lower things, heaven cannot help us here we see the value of faith if we focus our heart and By elevating our thoughts above our worries, we open the heavenly door so that new life, new strength and good things can flow.

This helps us master our difficulties as soon as we begin to reflect on our worries, the heavenly gate. closes again and the one that leads to lower things opens wide and allows destructive thoughts to break in, as we refuse to worry about our problems and difficulties and instead look confidently towards the sky and hold on. mind perfection or divine reality, we win twice over the spiritual source. of problems, we turn off the tap and open the front door for a permanent stream of heavenly influences, however, we not only attract one of the two thoughts and currents of influence but we also create an atmosphere for ourselves that is attractive or repellent This atmosphere, which can also be called aura or personal magnetism, attracts or attracts people and opportunities.

If two people are offered the same career opportunity, one with an attractive atmosphere and the other with a repulsive atmosphere, the first would have. commercial success significantly greater than the second, because you would attract more customers, seem friendlier to them, be recommended to others and find customers to become regular customers; could make a living from his business while the person starved in a repulsive atmosphere as a doctor, lawyer or clergyman, the former would have a large clientele or community, while the followers of the latter would be small in number. To build an attractive atmosphere we have to show goodwill towards our fellow human beings.

It must be our concern. We want to help and we must cultivate the right thoughts so that in no way do we give the floor to the saliva treat, even this form of offering flattery should be strictly avoided, although we must always keep in mind that it is independent of our work. is to serve ourselves, we must also remember that each of us is a magnet and that others do not come to us by coercion or against their will, but are drawn to it. We also have the magnetic power of benevolence and serious friendship. Remember. that we do not attract other people to fulfill our selfish goals but rather to bring good and benefit to those people so that they can live a happier life.

Once upon a time there was a mortician who was so compassionate that he performed more funerals than his competitors showed his compassion. he was honest, if he had simply faked it, he would never have been perceived as honest and would have been seen as more of a hypocrite. He was not seeking to obtain more orders through his compassion, but he could not help but show compassion because he had a Because of this, people came to him with great hearts, now some will object that the explanations in this chapter sound good in theory, but they are not can be implemented in practice.

They will rightly say that as soon as a person begins to think correctly, he strives to improve. Things will be subject to an invasion of all kinds of evil forces and he will feel as if he has let hell descend upon him, making his progress impossible. I will not deny it, but there is another side to the story, that is, that the protective help of the Strive from above is received every time we look up and raise our thoughts, health, strength and good things flow to us . No matter how tempted we are, we receive power and strength from within because the one in you is greater than the world in you.

Chapter 8 Mind Control and Spiritual Realization In the last few minutes I have perhaps even focused too much on material results. . The main reason for this was that it is our duty to become so great and so great. useful that we can, however, I am in no way advocating selfishness and our concern should always be to focus not on receiving but on giving and serving. The success I propose is not about making money, it may well consist of a form of. sacrifice for our fellow men, but regardless of what we do. The power of thoughts and their control and direction is always of great importance.

A young man can become a missionary despite the resistance of his family because his thinking is firmly focused on this goal. He overcomes seemingly insurmountable obstacles because he has his goal clearly in mind. If he faltered mentally or let his thoughts wander, he would not be up to such challenges. It must be mentioned that success becomes our slave over time. We seek it with body and soul. At first success comes to us. The little bird is shy and difficult to catch because he demands one victim after another until one day we realize that our life feels full of more or less great responsibilities. from which we can no longer free ourselves, then success has become our master and we have become its slave.

Then it's time to limit our material goals. However, we do not need to limit our spiritual goals because we do succeed. In our search for truth, only joy can await us when we realize that success is not our master and that we have not become its slaves. It is generally not known that the sine qua non for spiritual realization is mental control, that is, the result of thought training. Only when we are capable of a certain degree of mental control can we truly pray to direct our attention to God and thus build a ladder by which our thoughts can climb higher.

Therefore, thought control is directing attention to a specific object and staying there. As long as our attention is focused on God, our thoughts will climb the height of the ladder that has been erected even if it is only on one. If you have poor attention power and your mental guidance skills are weak, you should pray after prayers. It's not as good as praying yourself, but it's a step in the right direction at first. Someone who says or repeats your prayers in the evening and morning has a link between you and the higher power than other people who never do this.

Try to fail. However, true prayer by directing your attention and thoughts towards God is something completely different and greater: it is a spiritual exercise of the highest level. It is not easy as long as our thoughts are not truly disciplined - they will continue to wander into everyday matters, panting for attention and we catch ourselves thinking about material things instead of spiritual things - then our thoughts have to be brought back again and again until a habit of true prayer has solidified. There are many stages of the estate bed. There is the prayer of supplication, the prayer of praise, and the prayer of thanksgiving.

The last two are very advanced forms. Almost 100% thought control, but not only in moments of prayer. Thought control is necessary for the further development of our spiritual abilities. We also need it for worldly things. Even work we don't like to do can become enjoyable. we have an inner guide we are not alone the result of all this is that our character improves the character remains can never die we may not be religious or formal in the popular sense but we have become more noble, authentic and spiritually noble people, the inner o spiritual life is something very real two people can be spiritually awake and feel the desire to lead a nobler and higher life, one achieves it while the other after a while returns to his previous way of life, in which case the First he has the flame of his inner life. lit remained while the second let it go out, the first devoted himself to true prayer and directed his thoughts upward, the second did not do this, the spiritual life of the second then withered for lack of supplies, then temptation comes. like a torrent and it doesn't.

With a stable soul, he gives up and falls back into his old life because he doesn't believe anything else is possible. The problem was not that the temptation was too strong, but that he had cut off. turning away from infinite power by neglecting prayer and its lack of thought control The importance of training the mind to turn away from useless things and concentrate on sublime, truly beautiful, and truly valuable things cannot be overemphasized. Chapter 9 Overcoming Fear Fear is probably the cause of more misfortunes in life than we suspect. People free from fear seem to be surrounded by a special protective shield.

It is well known that a dog will not attack anyone who is not afraid of it. My own experience with sport is that the less fear I have. The bolder you are, the greater the chance of not receiving a single scratch. This is also confirmed by the stories of the missionaries when they faced bloodthirsty cannibals and, without any fear, they pounced on them.ingredients that seemed safer in their destination. unarmed state than an encounter with a flock of lambs. In no case did a missionary meet them. A complete absence of fear is not only a protection when playing sports when encountering wild animals or murderous men, it is also a protection against contagion. and infections Napoleon visited soldiers suffering from the plague to demonstrate that this disease could only affect people who were afraid of it.

Once a man visited a smallpox and plague hospital but never suffered from such illness, although he prayed with them kneeling before it. At the patient's bedside he refused to believe that microbes could harm him, thus demonstrating the truth of Psalm 91, so we see that it is not microbes that cause epidemics to bother us, but that the decisive factor is a thought. scary: two people. They are exposed to the same infection, one does not infect the other, why can they point out that one was more robust and resistant, but that's how it is. It is not always the case that the stronger person becomes infected and the physically weaker person emerges unscathed, but even if a person were more resilient, this is mainly due to mental strength.

As a rule, the positive person is immune to infection, if we talk about the necessity and desirability of being free from fear, the question arises how. our inherited weakness can be overcome. Most of us are plagued by one fear or another. We may be free from fear in one area, but in another we hold secrets deep in the side walls of our subconscious. Fears are hidden, we may be. physically brave, but we have existential fears, relationship fears, fear of professional failure or losing a job. Maybe we are also afraid of a certain disease, war, hunger or similar things. fears of a small child would wake up at night and be afraid of the dark, first you would say that there is nothing to fear, then you would justify it and show him that the room looks the same as during the day, explain to him that these fears are just imaginary So it exists in spirit, if that were not enough, they would say: I will stay with you and they will hold your hand, then you will know that there is nothing to fear, the child would feel their calm presence.

We fall and soon fall back asleep. We do the same with ourselves. We are very complicated beings and we can talk and argue with ourselves, that is why we act in the same way as with a small child. We tell ourselves that there is nothing in the universe. That is not an empty boast, but the simple truth. That doesn't mean that we, as human children, would already be so strong that we could defeat all the forces of evil, but it does mean that we are going to do it. on the side of the angels, we have brought them to our side, so to speak, it means that we have brought ourselves into harmony with the universe this divine order the forces of disorder have no power we are carried and guided by a hidden power in the words of Edward Carpenter all the divine forces conspire to give me eternal joy if you have not yet changed from these forces to something better and feel driven towards a fuller life, you can easily use other formulations, but the process is the same, only like the child who was afraid of the dark may have felt the need for more, the child wanted us to stay with him and hold his hand and so on.

We also invoke the omnipresence of the almighty and eternal, there is a power that defeats all the powers of evil, he remains with us, be encouraged and do not fear, because he will always be with you and rest assured, I will always be with you until the end of the world. world Chapter 10 is not a demand but obedience the A newcomer to this subject may assume that he has now become aware of the immense power of his thoughts and that he can now use more of this power as he sees fit, thus he would be committing a great mistake. error precisely because thoughts are so powerful and because their effects are so long-term, we are called to train our thoughts to accord with the internal laws of the universe.

Each one of us is part of the great God, our Father is the center and each person is our brother, one is. another servant Only when we realize that we are not in harmony with life and with the universe, which applies not only to our actions but also to our thoughts, that we have a wrong view of life, do we realize that our thinking must inevitably also be wrong. It is said that we can only dominate nature by following its laws. It is also true that we can only dominate life if we follow its laws. If we live in disharmony with the basic law of life, we only become specks of dirt.

In the cosmic structure when we work together as brothers and sisters and live in harmony with the laws of life, we can also experience harmony within ourselves and only then will our life be truly successful in the best sense of the word. It's completely possible. make demands on life and receive what is demanded, but this leads to results Cost of hard work and sacrifices we all have to pay the price for our achievements whoever does not want to pay the price will not achieve anything that demands a lot from us Patience Perseverance Firmness Clarity of purpose Commitment and this is exactly how it becomes character to pray to maintain success and yourself Not letting it ruin us requires even greater qualities of character than simply achieving a goal, but regardless of the goal achieved, it cannot bring us happiness or harmony if we ourselves were addicted and reckless, that is, if we left God out of the equation.

Peace of mind, happiness or inner harmony can never be obtained from self-addicts and selfish demands of life. be a stage in our lives in which we believe that everything is now in order and that we have our destiny under control; This can stimulate us to achieve even more and striving for even greater things is okay for a while and may well be enough. as an intermediate phase, but sooner or later we realize that in a certain sense we are masters of our destiny to the extent that we decide between good and evil. But ultimately a deity can shape our purposes, regardless of how we design them, there is an internal harmony that we have to be enough for, we are part of something greater and we can only harmonize with it by curbing our selfishness.

In other words, we need God's love and charity instead of life to impose our will instead of becoming the center of the world. demanding and forced we have to love and serve God and man equally if we want to find true happiness then we enter into harmony with the whole the internal law of life is love but it is better for us to imagine it as one another to the extent that we think, work, act and feel in accordance with this law, we also find in life true happiness, tranquility, satisfaction and things that are worth more than rubies and cannot be bought with money, then we realize that We must train ourselves to put thoughts of benevolence instead of thoughts of hatred and resentment, that we must put each other in the place of selfish greed and service instead of personal enrichment.

Then, let us integrate into humanity as brothers and sisters. we unite with each other in inner harmony we live in an ordered universe because behind the superficial disorder of life there is an inner divine order this divine order would find its expression on the outside if each person achieved harmony with it but that same thing gets in the way of the path of wanting to love each other which is what are keys that allow people to access inner harmony and inner order and through his own entry he made it easier for his brothers to access this area as well.

Nowadays there are books that spread a harmful psychology in which. The misuse of mental power means that the spirit is taught and the will is used in a manipulative way to control other people. For example, a sales representative wants to receive an order from a certain department store while the buyer is still weighing the matter. mental suggestions to persuade him to sign the order if the buyer does not do so. If he is familiar with these contexts, he might be persuaded to make a request against his own interests. Such practices are mental coercion of a criminal nature, even if you.

They are not prosecuted by our criminal justice system. There are different variants of this, but the person who suffers the most is the user, not the victim of all of his mental powers. Abusing your mental powers in this way will surely perish against the laws of life. You can never violate the laws of life without suffering a boomerang effect and this setback will be very violent. Such mental abuses are exactly the opposite of harmony as mentioned before, therefore they can only cause disorder and bring suffering to whoever wants it. we despise the day of small beginnings correct thinking and thought control cannot be learned in a quick process we have to grow from small beginnings and gradually become stronger and more stable we have to start apparently modestly I use this word intentionally apparently because it may seem It seems like a small thing to cultivate thoughts that go down opposite paths of lower thoughts and feelings, but the end result will be great.

Even thoughts of good will toward someone who has played us wrong may seem like a small thing, but it is a huge thing. of eternal importance if we only give in to the impulses of mundane nature we remain on the animal level and align ourselves with mortality and decay but if we intentionally cultivate thoughts of benevolence we emerge into infinite freedom we do not have to change our circumstances we must grow beyond our circumstances and limitations after making this changeWhen things happen to ourselves, our circumstances and environment also change accordingly. We can only grow in character as much as we have grown mentally.
