Thoughts are living things

While light travels at the rate of 1,86,000 miles per second, thoughts virtually travel in no time.

Thoughts are living things. A thought is every bit as solid as a piece of stone. We may cease to be, but our thoughts can never die. Every change in thought is
accompanied by mental vibration of its matter. Every thought that you send out is a vibration which never perishes. It goes on vibrating every particle of the
universe setting in vibration every sympathetic mind.

Unconsciously all people who are like you take the thought you have projected and in accordance with the capacity that they have, they send out similar
thoughts.

Thoughts are giant power transmitters and receivers. They are more powerful than electricity. They control your life, mould your character, and shape
your destiny.

Thought exerts its influence over the body. Grief in the mind weakens the body. The body also influences the mind. A healthy body makes the mind healthy.
If the body is sick, the mind also becomes sick. If the body is strong and healthy, the mind also becomes healthy and strong.

Violent fits of hot-temper do serious damage to the brain cells, throw poisonous chemical products into the blood, produce general shock and depression and
suppress the secretion of gastric juice, bile and other digestive juices in the bodily system, drain away your energy, vitality, induce premature old age and
shorten life.

When you are angry, the mind becomes disturbed. Similarly, when the mind is disturbed, the body also becomes disturbed. The whole nervous system is
agitated. You can most easily control anger by the expression of love.

Thought creates the world. Thought brings things into existence. Thoughts develop the desires and excite the passions. So, the contrary thoughts of killing the
desires and passions will counteract the former idea of satisfying them. So when a person is impressed with this, a contrary thought will help him to destroy
his desires and passions.

Think of a person as a good friend of yours and there the thing is created as a reality. Think of him as your enemy, then also the mind perfects the thought into
an actuality. He who knows the workings of the mind and has controlled it by practice is truly happy.
