BENEFIT FROM POSITIVE THINKING COMPANIONS: We often say that the company he keeps knows a person. A sensitive mind easily absorbs the vibrations emanating from the thoughts of the people with whom it associates. Deep thought has even the ability to extract knowledge and information from the higher dimensional knowledge space.
Birds of the same feather flock together. This rule has stood the test of ages. Therefore, if you want to be prosperous you must have links with the prosperous people. With the process of time, you will also attract prosperity because of the encouragement and guidance from such people.
But if you are encircled with such people who are satisfied with average life-style and they believe in predetermined destiny, you are also likely to remain average in progress like them. There is a great truth in the saying that like attracts like. Your negative thinking companions would like you to accept your present situation and would not think in favour of your progress. Therefore, keep away from such people who want the death of your dreams.

NEGATIVE SIDE OF POSITIVE THINKING: Thoughts are neither negative nor positive. Thoughts just are. What they turn out to be depends on the context. Given a context, thoughts can be realistic or unrealistic, mean or generous, selfish or selfless. In reality, no positive thought can arise without a negative thought hiding around it. It is up to you to remain alert from negative side of positive thinking.
Positive thoughts can turn negative very quickly. Why? Because they organize in the same source. They are inter-connected. Negative thinking comes from the same-shared space as positive thinking. Thoughts become positive or negative depending on you. It is you who sets the standards and values by which you evaluate thoughts.
A lot of people talk about falling standards of every thing — food, music, newspapers, movies, the young generation, or whatever. Actually standards have neither fallen nor risen. Standards have just shifted. Your value frames have changed.

POSITIVE THINKING:
They say that the world is but a thought of God. However, it is also true that a man is but the product of his thoughts. What the man thinks, he becomes. So we are what we think.
All our religious leaders have emphasized the importance of prayer. A prayer is in fact a thought repeated with fervour that releases the energy within us to achieve what we want.
It is necessary to point out that to surrender to what some call as the ‘predetermined fate’ has practically proved to be surrender to ignorance. To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.
Our thoughts are unrestricted. They are absolutely free, free to travel and free to influence us – for better or for worse. Let us recognize this fact and harness positive thoughts for our well-being and betterment.
As thought is the most potent force, we need to use this force to make our life meaningful one. Our thoughts are the foundation, the inspiration, the motivating power of our deeds. We create our entire world by the way we think. Thoughts are the causes and conditions are the effects.
People deal too much with the negative. That is wrong. So, why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom.
Though, we are influenced by our surroundings and environment, yet our circumstances and conditions may not be created by the outside world. Because the positive world inside us creates the outside.
Self-awareness comes from the mind, which means soul. Mind is the sum total of the states of consciousness grouped under thought, will and feeling. Besides self-consciousness, we have the power to choose and think.
A man’s mind does not remain inactive. Even when he is bodily inactive, he is all the time active on the thought plane. Therefore, if we observe ourselves, we can easily mould our thoughts.
Every thought, no matter how fleeting, leaves a seed in the mind of the thinker. Small seeds together go to make up a large thought seed and determine one’s general character. Our thoughts affect the whole body. Each thought once generated and sent out becomes independent of the brain and mind and will live upon its intensity.
Every thought we think, every act we perform, creates in us an impression. That impression, like every thing else, is subject to cyclic law and becomes repetitive in our mind. We alone have the choice to create our thoughts and develop the kind of impressions that make our actions more positive.
Right introspection will be required of us to determine what we really desire to effect. Let us choose the thought seeds of right ideas, noble and courageous aspirations that will be received by minds of the same nature.
Every thing in the universe is so much inter-related and inter-dependent that we live in one and another. So by accepting the grand principle of universal brotherhood, we shall be in a position to appreciate what a heavy responsibility is ever ours to think right. Let us reflect and send loving and helpful thoughts and lighten the load of world’s suffering. Positive thinking is a string force that can be harnessed for the welfare and success of all.
We talk of positive thinking as a stress buster for good health. Happy thoughts release hormones that work for our well-being and negative thoughts release hormones that make us ill.
We exhort our children to keep their goals in mind. What is determination but the capacity to think the same thought repeatedly until we achieve what we want?
Thoughts not only have potency for the person thinking the thoughts but also, they have the power to influence the people at whom they are directed. Reiki, for instance, is the art of self-healing, even distance healing. The violent can be made calm by exuding thoughts of love and compassion.

A Rationalist's observation on 'Soul' & its 'Re-incarnation'.
The pangs of fear of not achieving salvation (from false concept of re-incarnation of souls), in majority cases, may be charged directly to religious fanaticism. For hundreds of millions of years man has been asking the still unanswered question—“Whence” and “Whither”— from where did his soul come at birth and where it is going at death?
The thought of eternal punishment destroys interest in life and makes happiness impossible. The religious leader may not be able to provide safe conduct into heaven. But, the very thought of hell hold the imagination in such a realistic way that it paralyzes reason, and sets up the fear of death.
Since the dark ages of the past, more cunning and crafty, as well as the honest but credulous of the human race have been active to offer the answer to these questions, along with their explanation of “Salvation” for a price. In fact, the answering of these questions has become one of the so called “learned” professions, despite the fact that but little learning is required to enter this profession. Nobody knows wherefrom our souls come at birth and where the same go after death. Any person claiming otherwise is either deceiving himself or he is a conscious imposter who makes it a business to live without rendering service of value, through play upon the credulity of humanity. The doctrine of “Salvation” is based upon the notion that certain portion of human personality called the “Soul” survives after death. The hope of “Salvation” has filled the coffers of the Priest-Parasites with more gold and silver, as they have reduced ethics to ignoble commercial arithmetic and have prospered on fraud and superstition. Liberation of humanity from superstition is necessary to achieve scientific ethics in the interest of human growth. Actuality and growing civilized human personality rule the Earth.
The various religious denominations are but competing brands in the market-place or public perceptions and consumer loyalty. Indeed, many schools of metaphysics go far beyond the borders of religion. Religion is good so long as it preserves and promotes humanity. Beyond that we are compelled to reject it, because religion is for humanity and not humanity for religion. Therefore, take life as it comes to you by developing a positive attitude, without the fear of death created by superstition.
The fear of death is not as common now as it was during the old ages. Men of science have turned the spotlight of truth upon the world and this truth is rapidly freeing people from this terrible fear of death. Through the aid of biology, astronomy, geology and other related sciences, the fears of dark ages which gripped the minds of men have been dispelled.
The entire world is made up of two things, energy and matter. In elementary physics, we learn that neither matter, nor energy (the only two realities known to man) can be created, nor destroyed. Both matter and energy can be transformed, but neither can be destroyed.
Life is energy, if it is any thing. If neither energy, nor matter can be destroyed, of course life cannot be destroyed. Life, like other forms of energy, may be passed through various processes of transition, or change, but it cannot be destroyed. Therefore, “death” is mere transition.
If death is not mere change, or transition, then nothing comes after death except a long, eternal, peaceful sleep, and sleep is nothing to be feared. Thus, you may wipe out, for ever, the false concept of re-incarnation of souls.
