Mental Self-Thought Poisoning

Lesson Thirteen - Mental Self-Thought Poisoning

Every thought or emotion vibrates through every cell in the body and leaves an influence like itself.

To be healthy, happy, and successful, we must be good. There is no other road to true happiness and real prosperity.

Did you realize that it is possible to read in your face and manner the record of your thoughts; that your face is a bulletin board upon which is advertised what has been going on in your mind for years?

A healthy body is composed of healthy thought externalized, outpictured. And, too, it follows the ideals, and as long as one holds the youthful, vigorous, progressive, energetic, creative ideal in their mind their body responds to the thought.

Just try the experiment of thinking of yourself as an absolutely perfect being, possessing superb health, a magnificent body, a vigorous constitution, a sublime mind, and capable of standing any amount of strain.

Never allow yourself to have a defective, crippled, dwarfed ideal of yourself; never entertain such an imperfect health model for an instant, for these mental patterns of yourself will gradually begin to be reproduced in your physical condition.

Our ideas, ideals, thoughts, emotions, moods, our mental attitude, send a constant succession of vibrations through every cell, every organ, and through all the functions of the body. There is a perpetual succession of these impulses through the entire mass of the millions of cells.

It is now well established that vicious mental states, violent emotions and explosive passions, make chemical changes in the brain and poison the cell life through the whole body.

We are much more susceptible to disease when suffering from any sort of mental discord, discouragement, or the "blues," because of the cell damage due to the presence of chemical changes, the impairment of nutrition, imperfect digestion, and mental self-poisoning.

When discordant from worry, anxiety, anger, revenge, or jealousy, you may know that these things drain away your energy, waste your vitality at a fearful rate, and not only do no good, but also grind away the delicant mental machinery, inducing premature age and shortening the life. Worry thoughts, fear thoughts, selfish thoughts are so many malignant forces within us, destroying harmony and ruining efficiency, while the opposite thoughts produce just the opposite result. They soothe instead of irritate, and increase efficiency, multiply mental power. Five minutes of hot temper may work such a havoc in the delicate cell life of the nervous system that it will take weeks or months to repair the injury, or it may never be repaired.

Many people keep themselves in a state of chronic self-poisoning by their embittered, revengeful, hateful, jealous thoughts, selfishness or by their violent tempers and fits of raging passion. These self-prisoners not only destroy their present happiness and success, but also many years of their lives.

Whatever improves the health of the mind improves the health of the body. The uplifting, inspiring, cheerful and optimistic thought is not only a great mental tonic, but a physical tonic also.

Never allow yourself to be convinced that you are not complete master of yourself. Stoutly affirm your own superiority over bodily ills, and do not acknowledge yourself the slave of an inferior power.

Love is the normal law of our being, and any departure from the love though must result in anarchy of the physical economy, because the law of our being has been violated.

It is not difficult to shut out poisonous thoughts from the mind. All one need do is to substitute the opposite thought to that which produces the fatal poison, for it will always furnish the antidote. Discord can not exist in the presence of harmony. The charitable thought, the love thought, will very quickly kill the jealousy, the hate, and the revenge though, If we force pleasant, cheerful pictures into the mind, the gloomy, "blue" thoughts will have to get out.

Hard Work?

Let me ask you this...
Do you think "You HAVE to WORK HARD to be wealthy?"

Maybe it's true, maybe not. But what matters MOST is that...
When you phrase it that way, you manifest obstacles
instead of WEALTH...

You manifest HARD WORK, instead of something that's your passion.

Dr. Eric Amidi

Self Honesty

1. When I am quick to find error in others, I have failed to correct myself.

2. When my acts are designed to persuade another, I doubt myself.

3. When I experience struggle with the world. I have denied responsibility for my own creations.

4. When I feel separate and alone. I have failed to forgive.

5. When events repeat themselves in my life, there is a lesson I need to learn.

From Resurfacing, by Harry Palmer

He Who Thinks He Can..

You have heard "he who thinks he can, can", but this is not necessarily true. Even he who knows he can may fail if the thought is only an objective thought held only in his conscious mind. It is true however true that - he who knows he can, within in his subconscious mind, can.

If you only grasp the thought consciously, it is very likely that your subconscious mind may overrule and withhold your power to succeed when you need it the most. Call this a divided mind, if you’d like - a mind divided against it cannot stand.

You must impress you subconscious first. Practice the following mental exercise several times per day, and especially before sleep, Say with deep earnest feeling, “I can succeed! All that is possible to anyone is possible to me. I am successful. I do succeed, for I am full of the power of success.”

Realize it is true and repeat it over and over until your mentality is saturated with the knowledge, Practice the above autosuggestion for a month with persistence and you will KNOW that you have within you that which CAN do what you want to do.

The Method

Every person who does a thing perfect is instantly presented with an opportunity to begin doing at the next larger thing. This is a universal law of all life; and is unfailing. First do perfect all that you can do now; keep on doing it perfectly until the doing of it becomes so easy that you have a surplus power left after doing it; then by this surplus power you will get a hold on the work on the higher plane and begin to extend your association with the environment.

In accordance to the principle, then, you can advance only by filling more than your present palace. You must do perfectly all that you can do now; and it this law that by doing perfectly all that you can do now that you will became able to later do things which you cannot do now.

Scoffers, Mockers and Other Difficult people

Here are two affirmations for handling scoffers, mockers and other difficult people in your life.

I ignore the negative comments of others. I bless them and watch my lips. I never rebuke a fool.

I waste no time pondering over fools; I bless them than go about my business.

A Summary of the Science of Being Great

All men are made of the one intelligent substance, and therefore all contain the same essential powers and possibilities. Greatness is equally inherent in all, and may be manifested by all. Every person may become great. Every constituent of God is a constituent of man.

Man may overcome both heredity and circumstances by exercising the inherent creative power of his soul. If he is to become great, the soul must act, and must rule the mind and body. Man’s knowledge is limited, and he falls into error through ignorance; to avoid this he must connect his soul with the Universal Spirit. Universal Spirit is the intelligent substance from which all things come; it is in and through all things. All things are known to this universal mind, and man can so unite himself with it as to enter all knowledge.

To do this a man must cast out of himself everything which separates him form God. He must will to live the divine life, and he must rise above all moral temptations; he must forsake every course of action that is not in accord with his highest ideals. He must reach the right viewpoint, recognizing that God is all, in all, and that there is nothing wrong.

He must see that nature, society, and government, and industry are perfect in their present stage, and advancing toward completion and that all men and women everywhere are good and perfect. He must know that all is right with the world, and unite with God for the completion of the perfect work. It is only as man sees God as the Great Advancing Presence in all, and good in all, that he can rise to real greatness. He must consecrate himself to the service of the highest that is within him, obeying the voice of the soul. There is an Inner Light in every man which continuously impels him toward the highest, and he must be guided by the light if he would become great.

He must recognize the fact that he is one with the Father, and continuously affirm this unity for himself and others, he must know himself to be a god among gods, and act accordingly. He must have absolute faith in his own perceptions of truth, and begin at home to act on those perceptions, as he sees the true and right course in small things, he must take that course. He must cease to act unthinkingly, and begin to think, and he must be sincere in his thought.

He must form a mental conception of himself at the highest, and hold this conception until it is his habitual thought-form of himself. This thought-form he must keep continuously in view. He must outwardly realize and express that thought-form in his actions. He must do everything that he does in a great way. In dealing with his family, his neighbors, acquaintances, and friends, he must make every act and expression of his ideal.

The man who reaches the right viewpoint and makes full consecration, and who fully idealizes himself as great, and who makes ever act, however trivial, and espression of the ideal, has already attained to greatness. Everything he does will be done in a great way. He will make himself known and will be recognized as a personality of power. He will receive knowledge by inspiration, and will know all that he needs to know. He will receive all the material wealth he forms in his thoughts, and will not lack for any good thing. He will be given ability to deal with any combination of circumstances which may arise, and his growth and progress will be continuous and rapid. Great works will seek him out, and all men will delight to do him honor.

From The Science of Being Great by Wallace D Wattles

What if you were suddenly paid $XXX per hour?

Here is an interesting thought.

It is based on the idea that once you become too big for you current place – nature itself almost has to promote you – even if you employer does not.

Should you disagree with that, you still must concede that you need to grow at your current level if you want to get further, or that certainly you should not get more for doing less. (Any person who thinks they are under-appreciated and cheated, and angry about it– almost automatically cuts themselves short.)

The above is the quick summary.

Now here is the fast summary of the exercise…with a lot of steps left out.

How much money do you want to make per hour?

Get that idea in your head – write it down and scroll downward…

…………….

…………….

…………….

…………….

…………….

…………….

…………….

How would you do you current job if suddenly you were paid that figure?

Without killing yourself or going overboard... what would you improve quality and attitude-wise?

What bad or lazy habits would you drop? What would you be more thorough?

How can you take that new view to other areas of your life… relationships, community groups etc?
