Learn How To Think

[quoting]

No being can act without influencing his surroundings. As man rises in his understanding, he evinces through this a substantial aid to someone. A man falls in spirit and thereby perhaps kills someone.

One may cite numerous examples, such as how a man who became insane in Asia was the cause of the ruin of a man in Europe, or how a man who rose in spirit in America healed another in Egypt. It is not easy to decide when one is a murderer or a benefactor. Hence, man must realize his responsibility toward the Universe.

Each instant, man either creates or destroys. The world is filled with conflicting thoughts. A multitude of illnesses have been implanted by thoughts of destruction. A great number of murders take place at long distances from thoughts. But it is almost impossible to make man realize that his preeminence lies in continuously flunking. It is impossible to impress upon man how responsible he is for the quality of his thinking. The heart beats unceasingly; equally incessant is the pulse of thought. Man either creates or destroys.

Since thought is energy and does not decompose, then how responsible is mankind for its every thought! People think that their thought is insignificant and can reach nowhere, whereas the potentiality of thought is great, and for thought there exists neither space nor time. But those who think chaotically are like those who wave their hands in the dark, unaware of the objects they hit.

Moreover, thought accumulates in space. One can conceive of a mighty choir of harmonious thoughts, but one can also imagine a flock of chattering black jackdaws. Such congregations also fill space and disturb the Higher World. Dear thinkers, you are also responsible for the quality of your thoughts, Thus, ever you create your future.

Therefore, there is no way one can escape responsibility. Even the smallest thought enters into the megaphone of space and attracts to itself the same kind of locust, causing the smoky atmosphere of the planet. Each thought can either obscure or purify space.

Insignificant thoughts form ugly conglomerates and pollute space. We call them spatial slime. The average result of civilization is complete degeneration in quality of thought.

If thought contains the creative energy, then it is useful to send a good thought into the space.

There is no question that it is hard to un-learn the bad habits we've worked hard to accumulate over hundreds, perhaps thousands of lifetimes. But un-learn them we must. We and the Earth share many things. To hijack an old joke, when we sneeze, Earth catches cold (and vice-versa). Thus, we have polluted this planet's atmosphere with ages of wrong thinking. It is now time for us to set matters aright.

Just as one wouldn't toss their kitchen garbage on the sidewalk, so should one be careful to not throw selfish and low-grade mental refuse into the subtle planes of this planet.

Remember, just because you cannot see your thoughts, doesn't mean that your thoughts do not have form, or that they do not travel. The answer is yes to both. It is therefore incumbent upon those who wish to serve the Earth and their fellow souls to guard their thoughts vigilantly, and release only those which do no harm. It will take practice, but it can be done.

Make the commitment. Learn How To Think.
