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 thoughts of anger revenge hate gold envy ruminate on the bad things that are losses or pain 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 all areas of life They make that our nervous system collapses 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 harm 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, he usually dies within a few days, but if someone fasts intentionally to cure himself of an organic disease and if this cure can be carried out wisely, he can go 40 or more days without eating and not only survive this time. unharmed but even benefit from it.

Where does this forced fasting come from? A few days lead 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 his thoughts. 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 Lent, the Lord who fasted for salvation for almost 50 days and about whom we 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 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 Fasting person thinks that fasting improves their health, the result is that they become healthier and perhaps even cured of an organic disease.

We've been reading a lot in the newspapers lately about prominent people voluntarily undergoing a fasting regimen to become healthier this way, but that's nothing new that I know of, these types 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 be said against the fact that the hungry person, provided he had eaten well before, could not survive as long as the fasting person would. If he simply aligned his thinking in the same way as the fasting person, he would first have to be convinced that fasting is good for his body and promotes his health.

However, this would not be easy right away because ignorance and prejudice are difficult to get rid of and people tend to do that. Full of fear as you look into the future, you would be worried because you would be afraid of not doing it. 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 his mental attitude, he is being killed by his fear in the same way as the person who fasts voluntarily. it remains. I live through his thoughts and expectations, he retains his strength and is still able to work.

From these words it should not be concluded that I am an advocate of careless fasting, unless a reckless approach can certainly cause great harm here, however healing it may still be. 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. Unfortunately, this is not generally known. The police officer raises a hand and immediately the flow of traffic behind him stops and other road users can pass. We can transfer this analogy to our thoughts.

Unwanted destructive thoughts can be stopped. while desired and constructive thoughts can be summoned. People say that goes through my head over and over again. I can, they do nothing about it, they talk as if thoughts cannot be directed and controlled. They do not realize that thoughts can be summoned. be changed in the same way as, for example, a topic of conversation. 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. However, we no longer 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 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. Only when we are masters of our own thoughts. Only then do we become true artists of life, not resisting the discipline of life's experiences, but facing them in the best way possible, 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 courage of his In this way, a strong spirit overcomes a weaker one by force of will and suggestion.

The hypnotist suggests to his victim that a piece of cold metal on the back of the hypnotized person is a red-hot iron and immediately the flesh begins to burn and causes blisters in the same way that it would react if it were a real burn, perhaps also suggesting to his 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. The doctors certainly should not be accused of bad intentions and he probably only expected a slight indisposition as a result of the test from him. 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 tissue.

This vision suggests that you have the flu and if you do not have a positive attitude, you will soon get sick. 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 forms To protect the varieties, I can only point out a few more ways in which we are unconsciously influenced by suggestion. I don't have any more space. Drug advertisements in newspapers and magazines do not have a particularly long-lasting effect.

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 had such a strong effect on me that I was convinced I had this disease. I would surely have gotten sick if I had not confessed my fears to my parents. "I will never forget the happy crybabies who followed my confession. My parents could barely contain their laughter and 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 more above. his entire 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 to make your readers smile and entertain, the grain If 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 thoughts to a crowd and let ourselves It is easy to influence people, but in such a crowd it is difficult to remain true to one's own thoughts, so people who under normal circumstances react with emotions. good sense and prudence to Mass with vegetables are also important. The reason 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. Some are quiet. and Phlegmatic, advertisements have 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, but you should not 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. Let us now move on to the terrain of temptations.

Of us is exposed to them in one way or another. Being tempted leaves the other person cold, which does not mean that it is completely above what temptation is, more than a suggestion, we should not be interested in where or from. who comes the suggestion. Here 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 suggestion more subtle than temptation, it is so insidious that it can hardly be detected even in our mind. West. At 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 are constantly vigilant, that is why we read in the book of all books, we watch and we pray. so that you do not 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 makes up our life is the result of suggestions, thus, for example, poverty is the result of a suggested and accepted poverty, illness is the result of a suggested and accepted illness and coma is the result of a comma suggested and accepted as an antidote is the 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 caught this suggestion, so the theory would keep spinning.

Tide. 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 and 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: inappropriate tinkering without deep knowledge or experience can cause more harm than good. Chapter 3the secret to overcoming 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 forOur well-being and success in our lives is important because we can overcome harmful suggestions through right thinking.

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 for the first time can we also mentally overcome the difficulties of life? 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 habit of mind that is almost as destructive as ruminating about problems. 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 sense of thinking correctly, rather it was exactly the opposite. Wrong thinking, people like this say: "I never think about my problems, I refuse to think about them. That is exactly the point. Instead of bravely facing life's difficulties and mastering them mentally, these people run away from them. Hardly An unpleasant thought arises. For example, when thinking about an annoying task or a crisis that needs to be solved, this person cowers and thinks about something more pleasant. These are problems, I never think about them, and whoever represses all unpleasant thoughts has no possibility of resolving current difficulties constructively because what you consider to be the correct way of thinking prevents you from making decisions and overcoming your challenges. practical life situation, we have to start with thoughts, therefore we could talk about two groups : firstly, people who overcome their obstacles and secondly, people who are overcome by obstacles, people who are overcome by their obstacles cannot be overcome and their problems and difficulties cannot be solved mentally unless They have deliberately made the decision to avoid unpleasant thoughts because of 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. It can also be mastered 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 a goal-oriented spirit no victory can be achieved on the battlefield of life, for On the other hand, there is no humanly solvable problem that cannot be solved 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 hope or dreaming through the By mentally overcoming difficulties, the thought becomes stronger and stronger, it mentally moves towards the difficulty and is pushed further by the whole weight of the mind and will, then the whole person also moves forward, overcomes the difficulty and comes out victorious on the other side.

It creates an internal power that continuously accumulates and then helps us to succeed when we face this difficulty in practice. This is a completely different approach to brooding over difficult situations. Worrying about difficult situations is destructive. Anyone who worries about their problems does not carry only the fire of fear is one of the worst destroyers but it also digs grooves in your brain in which your 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. either something goes wrong or we are afraid that things might go wrong, the cells that are besieged by worries and already enriched with nervous energy become active and explode, so we continue down the path we have created for endless worries - that is the goodbye kiss for ours Tranquility, goodbye to restful sleep and sooner or later the end for our health.

There are people who have a natural tendency to worry. They have inherited this bad habit. I myself am one of them. Others People never worry about anything if 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 I have finished the chapter. It only takes two minutes. A man in my circle of friends received the bad news that he was suffering from a certain illness, we shouldn't worry, we told him, he laughed and then said don't worry, I don't worry, it's not the usual way in We in our family take things as they come, we have discovered that in the end But it is not so bad, there is always a balance that shows the astonishing difference between the nature and temperament of people, however, the percentage of concern -Manufacturers are probably much larger than 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. Running away 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 grow and give even more reasons for worry. 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 we simply solve our problems by ignoring and just thinking about beautiful things or daydreaming can be implemented in a positive way, but unfortunately in the Most of the time 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 in our place. of creating a problematic situation To avoid a thought about a difficult or unpleasant situation, we would do better to act bravely and affirm our ability to overcome it successfully. If we meet these thoughts every time they arise with an affirmation of our ability and power to confront this situation in practical life and are able to overcome this experience successfully, then we will be mentally stable and have reserves of strength that will surprise us.

In this way, when we face thoughts of failure, difficulties or fears also influence this. From the subconscious, he accepts clear instructions and recognizes what is expected of him. As a loyal servant, you do not let us down. Such statements can 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. Everyone has to use the way they respond. It is best to do it. Maybe you start with a psychological formulation and then realize that a different choice of words suits them better.

The one that attracts you the most in the present is the one that is most suitable for you at this moment. If a religious person has a thought about a difficulty, a trial or a fear, he could, for example, respond to it with the counterthought or affirmation: I can do everything 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 breaking through the problem with momentum, supported by invisible forces. Over time, a mental habit will develop and become internal, you will victoriously go through difficulties and fears instead of running away from the problem. , he approaches it with the feeling of having been victoriously overcome, which will help him to have a strong character, a victory, certainly, he is convinced of success, great perseverance and was not going to become a different person, perhaps he is critical of religiously formulated statements need a modified formulation.

You could, for example, confront the thought of difficulties or fears in the following way: Success Victory Mastery and imagine how you emerge from this situation as a winner, albeit supported and strengthened by a power within you that you do not understand. In 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 concerned will encounter new challenges, see new and beautiful panoramas, you will have discovered that it has shaped your character and that, as a result, it can also shape your life positively.

Many people think in the form of mental images. Their way of life and the characteristics of their circumstances depend on character. of their images. If these people have images of difficulties or failures, they must incorporate these internal images. The truth is the opposite. Some people are naturally prone to negative mental images. One thought about rent payment day is enough and they find themselves unable to do it. to pay the rent. When they think about their own business, unintended consequences like eviction, wage garnishment, and the like immediately arise. They live in constant fear of existence, thinking about insolvencies, failure to comply with orders or court appearances as employees, they are haunted by images of unemployment, homelessness and other 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 might allow such mental images require surgery carries the risk that exactly the conditions visualized and feared will be attracted.

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 are also given a chance, if the negative images of failure, poverty, misfortune, accidents, illnesses and death are transformed into images of desires for success, prosperity, happiness, health and security, the tendency for these desired conditions to come true increases. in life instead of being forced, for example, to vacate because it is not possible. When imagining paying rent, the person in question should visually imagine paying rent on time and living carefree in a comfortable house.

They are much more likely to experience this desired state. A mental image is probably the most powerful way to think about the correct cultivation of those inner beings. It cannot be emphasized enough that the result of such cultivation is a positive mental attitude that is highly desirable. The effect is character training through which we become strong in areas where we were weak and achieve things that were previously out of 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 whose principles are help or love?

Most of them will probably secretly tend to assume the first mentioned assumptions. That is why we are pessimistic, even if we are still abroad. Show something different Who knows how? Many terrible effects are due to this internal pessimism. Whoever 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. Then a mental reversal will occur. The fact is that 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. or each other, 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 of union is violated , diseases can appear and disorder is the result. Such violations 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 we 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 behavein such a way every day that we live according to 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 out of 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 highest wisdom and leads to a life of true harmony and satisfaction for peace of soul despite all 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 grinds and polishes character, unless 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, resourcefulness, work ethic, willpower and goal orientation, they show commitment and take risks as soon as they achieve them. It turns out that the main reason for his success is his mental attitude. Successful people think about success and success. They basically assume that you think about wealth and abundance. Life increases the probability of expressing this predominant 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 can be more or less like this depending on what 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, with the exception of a few who consider themselves experts in all areas and then they turn out to be. 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 and that of others. 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 remain still, no matter how much you help them and no matter how numerous they are. 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 that situations of scarcity with all their actions and 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 lucky while the other is unlucky. However, I am deeply convinced that the difference lies in the way of thinking. A person is attuned to success and performance and this basic attitude acts as a central axis around which his thoughts, both conscious and unconscious, revolve; the other is obsessed with fears and failures; these form the central point of his 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 successful attitude while the other has inherited a failure mentality, the second mentioned, nothing necessarily has to fall by the wayside.

Stay, a mental attitude can be changed. There is no need for the support of an expensive mental or medical expert. Everyone can do it for themselves. Magic The 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, reaches what for him is the peak of his professional career instead of sinking to the bottom. background.

He realizes that there is a lot of reach at the top because only a few use their consciousness constructively. He reaches a privileged position because he now uses his consciousness creatively and no longer just for routine work and we must not forget that service before earning comes only by offering to the world. a benefit and an advantage through our cooperative help, we are excluded from happiness as long as they do not bring us happiness, money and fame are only substitutes for satisfaction, he is offering benefits and cooperative willingness to help, success comes late or early, says The character in his own story, who ignores others, quickly gets up and prerequisites such as honesty, helpfulness and the like are, as a rule, laughed off as soon as they sink again.

That's why we shouldn't focus our thinking exclusively on success and performance, but rather focus on the benefits and willingness to help. Coaching is not so much about what it does for me but what I can offer, because all success Solid is based on the extent to which we can contribute something meaningful and useful. 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 can't imagine that most people and our minds attract similar things depending on the new direction.

Opportunities and new opportunities Favorable circumstances, as well as success with the knife or the lack of an internal cause for success, must be sought in the intellectual area. Instead of letting thoughts wander randomly, we must train them to think constructively while others waste away. While we spend our free time meaninglessly and doing nothing, we have to turn our thoughts into positive ones and we can keep an ideal constantly in our thoughts. , and our thoughts revolve around this ideal naturally and effortlessly. This type of constructive thinking forces us to work and continue while other people pay their 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 If we are ready, an opportunity will appear as surely as dawn and 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 becomes a master and becomes a slave, so we should strive to achieve the highest form of success if possible, but usually we have no other choice because our ambition, for so to speak, it 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 evident that a task that will overwhelm him under such conditions, whether he chooses this vocation. or was chosen by him, it cannot be said, but in any case this life of self-denial and effort despite feverish poverty will be for him. Isolation and incomprehension of the world bring deep satisfaction to those who find success in service and want to make the world. better through his contribution and is truly successful, then it no longer matters if this success becomes the master and he becomes his slave, because such slaves are created brings the greatest joy and satisfaction - these are treasures that cannot be bought with money in the world and avoid 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, foods Poor in nutrients 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 these are triggered by thoughts. It is quite possible that emotional energy can be released through thought training, that is, avoiding thoughts that are directed towards other paths. Rather than primitive desires or impulses, in works dealing with topics such as this, the reader is often 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 thinking about 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 tell. "I am completely healthy. You will try to develop the corresponding feeling and create a mental image in which you see yourself healthy, fit and vital. In this way you will be taking the first step towards better health. As good as this approach " He's still alive. This 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 fundamental causes of all diseases, but we want to first go into some important ones 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, lack of desire, 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, including forgiveness and empathy, and thirdly, calmness.

Although current medical works talk a lot about syphilis and similar diseases, I consider impure thinking to be one of the main causes of illness and disease. That's what I mean, indulging in lustful and greedy thoughts, the bad consequences of lustful behavior are pretty bad. , but the consequences of compulsive thoughts about sexuality are so bad, which is bad from a health point of view, not from a purely moral point of view, that such thoughts trigger desire, which leads to accumulate the emotional energy that this energy needs. being repressed, which is the probable 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. We have to judge ourselves and realize that lust and desire cannot bring us anything. We are fooling ourselves. There are much more important things. It is certainly better than the snow-capped mountains, the heroic deeds, what the great universe, the eternal one, is all about. truths or think about our journey of discovery through time and space instead of fantasizing about things that stimulate our sexual emotions or represent only desperate longings: this happens a thousand times not only for moral, intellectual or spiritual reasons, but also for reasons of health.

Instead of repressing thoughts related to sex, 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. something higher. This not only makes us healthier but also 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. 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 instead, thoughts of benevolence, forgiveness, tolerance and not 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 a secret grudge or two, maybe you have Yes, they forgot that they felt abandoned, but the cracks and the deep of the subconscious remain there and ensure harmony, which then manifests externally as a disease or disorder. Third aspect, every doctor can confirm that stress, grief, 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 person in question is worried or upset about something.

Despite such excesses, a patient only then becomes a patient. If you suffer a loss, a disappointment, a fear or a worry, this usually happens very quickly, but other people who in no way carry an excessive attitude. Also the illnesses of life, even if one lives soberly and moderately, worries about a lost son, thepain of a cheated wife, long-lasting financial problems of a businessman are some examples of the collapse of the nervous system, strength. it exhausts itself and exposes the system so that the disease has free entry. Here it is not intended that scientific thinking be called correct thinking, here we can keep all the hardships 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 will no longer harm us.

This is a great victory for the two in front." of the same When in an unpleasant situation one person reacts incorrectly and becomes sick, unhappy, bitter and in a bad mood, the other not only survives that situation unscathed but comes out stronger from it. experiences is one of the most beautiful tasks. Many doctors know that a patient 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, emerges healed from this experience. and gets stronger faster, which also means that he is 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 worry 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 dissolving his father's house and left when he returned he was happily forgiven Translated into modern language this means that we have to letting go of a life of mental, desiring and emotional detachment and separation so that we can 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. The path that followed before us was also tempted and emerged as the great conqueror, not I but the Christ in me, Paul said, this is the secret of successful thought control Chapter 7 the attraction of thoughts There are two well-known proverbs whose Psychological truth content can be easily understood overlooked.

On the one hand, he likes and looks like, he likes to associate 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. When we think kind thoughts, we attract people who think similarly. 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 with just one.

The gateway to good, beautiful, noble and healthy thoughts and the other gateway to a stream full of unwanted, debilitating and destructive thoughts. Thoughts thus open, so to speak, two openings to our subconscious. If we cultivate pure, holistic and benevolent thoughts, 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 open us back to bad thoughts. In the transition period, the door to bad thoughts can still partially open here and there and then give us the so-called temptations when we try to close this door and against the attacking forces.

Fighting thoughts or suggestions only opens it up more, the only way to effectively deal with such situations is to increase thoughts and attentions 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, which makes it increasingly easier to direct our thoughts towards the good and, consequently, keep the other door closed, which is the disadvantage of the door of passage to the 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 hearts and Elevating our thoughts above our worries, we open the heavenly door so that new life, new strength and good things can flow to us.

This helps us master our difficulties. As soon as we begin to reflect on our worries, the heavenly door 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 From that, looking with confidence towards the sky and keeping divine perfection or reality in mind, 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 significantly better business success than the second because he would attract more clients, would seem friendlier to others, would be recommended to others, and you would meet customers to become regular customers. He could make a living from his business while the person was starving with 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 should be our concern that we want to help and we must cultivate the correct thoughts so that in no way the word is given to the saliva treat, even this form of offering of flattery should be strictly avoided, although we must always keep in mind that it is independent of our job. 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 attracted by it, we also have the magnetic power of benevolence and serious friendship.

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 happier lives. Once upon a time there was a mortician who was so compassionate that he performed more funerals than his competitors showed. 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 wasn't looking to get more orders through his compassion, but he couldn't help but show compassion because he had a big heart that's why people came to him, now some will object that the explanations in this chapter sound good in theory, but they can't be implemented in reality. the practice.

They will rightly say that once a person begins to think correctly, he strives for better things. He will be subjected to an invasion of all possible forces of evil and he will feel as if he has let hell descend upon him, making it impossible for him to advance, I do not want to deny it, but there is another side to the story. And striving for protective help from above is received every time we look up and raise our thoughts, health, strength and good things flow. No matter how tempted we are, we receive power and strength from within because he who is in You is greater than he who is in you in the world.

Chapter 8 Mind Control and Spiritual Realization In the last few minutes, perhaps I have even focused too much on material results, the main reason for this is that it is our duty to become as great as we are. great and useful that we can. However, I am in no way advocating selfishness and selfishness, our concern should always be to focus not on receiving but on giving and serving. The success I defend is not about making money, it may well consist of a form of sacrifice for others, but regardless of what we do. The power of thoughts and their control and management are 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 if he let his thoughts wander, he would not be up to such challenges. It should be mentioned that success becomes our slave over time if we put in the effort with body and soul. At first success comes to us. The little bird is timid and difficult to catch because it 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 the Success has become our master and we have become its slaves.

Then it is time to limit our material goals, however, we do not need to limit our spiritual goals because if we are successful in our search for truth, only joy will await us when we realize that success is not our master and that we do not We have become their slaves. It is not generally 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.

Thought control is, therefore, 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 only on one. If you have poor attention power and your mental guidance skills are weak, you should pray after prayers. This is not as good as praying yourself, but it is a step in the right direction at first. Someone who recites or repeats his prayers in the evening and morning has a link between you and the higher power than other people who never do this.

I 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, gasping for breath. 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.

There is meditative and contemplative prayer. The last two are very advanced forms. They require almost 100% thought control, but not only in moments of prayer. The control of thought 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 if we do it. 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 interior or the spiritual life is something very real two people can be spiritually awakened and feel the desire to lead a nobler and higher life, one achieves it while the other after a time returns to his previous way of life, in which case the first 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 his soul stable, he gives up and falls back into his previous 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. walk away from infinite power by neglecting prayer and your lack of thought control.You can de-emphasize the importance of training the mind to move away from useless things and focus on things that are sublime, truly beautiful, and truly valuable. Chapter 9 Overcoming Fear Fear is probably the cause of more misfortunes in life than we suspect. People seem free from fear Being 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 the sport is that the less afraid you are the more daring you are, the greater the chance of not getting a single scratch. This is also confirmed by the stories of the missionaries when they faced bloodthirsty cannibals and, without any fear, pounced on ingredients that seemed safer in their destiny. unarmed state than an encounter with a flock of lambs. In no case did a missionary encounter 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. A man once visited a smallpox and plague hospital but never suffered such illness, although he prayed with them kneeling at the bedside of the patient, who refused to believe that microbes could harm him, thus demonstrating the truth of Psalm 91, so we see that it is not the microbes that cause the epidemics that bother us, but that the decisive factor is a terrifying thought: 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 that. The need and desirability of being free from fear raises the question of 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 job loss. Perhaps we are also afraid of a certain disease, war, famine or similar things. How can you overcome those fears, in the same way that you alleviate the fears of a small child who would wake up in the 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 is go the same as during the day, explain to him that these fears are only imaginary So he 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 his 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 I should be afraid. That is not an empty boast, but the simple truth. That does not mean that we, as human children, would already be so strong that we could overcome all the forces of evil, but it does mean that by going to the side of the angels, we have brought them to our side, so to speak, it means that we have put in harmony with the universe this divine order the forces of disorder are powerless 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 you feel driven toward a fuller life, you can easily use different 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 we would 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 be safe, 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 be in accordance 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 does not apply only to our actions but also to our thoughts, that we have a wrong view of life, 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 this 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, no matter how we design them, there is an internal harmony that we have to be enough for, we are part of something bigger and we can only harmonize with it by curbing our selfishness, that is, we need the love and charity of God instead of life to impose our will instead of making ourselves the center of the world instead of 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, contentment 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 Instead of selfish greed and service instead of personal enrichment, and then let us join humanity as brothers and sisters and join each other in inner harmony.

We live in an ordered universe because behind the superficial disorder of life there is a divine order. Internally, this divine order would find its expression externally if each person achieved harmony with it, but that same thing gets in the way of wanting to love each other, which is what are keys that allow people to access internal harmony and inner order and through his own entry he facilitated the access of his brothers also to this area, today there are books that spread a harmful psychology in which the misuse of mental power means that the spirit is taught and the will of 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. The representative uses strong mental suggestions to persuade you to sign the order if the buyer does not do so. If he is familiar with these contexts, he could persuade you to make a request against his own interests. These practices are mental coercion of a criminal nature, even if you 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.

Misusing his mental powers in this way will surely perish. We can never break the laws. of life without suffering a boomerang effect and this setback will be very violent. Such mental misuses are exactly the opposite of a harmony as mentioned before, so it can only cause disorder and bring suffering Chapter 11 first steps who wanted to despise the day of small beginnings correct thinking and thought control cannot be To learn in a rapid process, we have to grow from small beginnings and gradually become stronger and more stable, we have to start seemingly modestly. I use this word intentionally apparently because it may seem like a small thing to do.

We cultivate thoughts that go in opposite paths to 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 significance if we only give in to the impulses of worldly nature, remain on the animal level, and align ourselves with mortality and decay. but if we intentionally cultivate thoughts of benevolence we take a step towards infinite freedom we do not have to change our circumstances we must grow beyond our circumstances and limitations after making this change When things happen to ourselves, our circumstances and our environment also change accordingly .

We can only grow in character as much as we have grown mentally.
