The Power of Thoughts

8110421072?profile=originalBy Remez Sasson

One day, a yogi and his disciple arrived in the big city. They had no money with them, but they needed food and a place to stay. The disciple was sure that they were going to beg for their food, and sleep in the park at night.

"There is a big park not far from here. We can sleep there at night", said the disciple.
"In the open air?" Asked the yogi.
"Yes", responded the student.
The yogi smiled and said: "No, tonight we are going to sleep in a hotel and eat there too".
The student was amazed and exclaimed, "We cannot afford that!"
"Come and sit down", said the yogi.
They both sat down on the ground, and the yogi said:

"When you focus your mind intently on any subject, it comes to pass."

The yogi closed his eyes and started to meditate with full concentration. After about ten minutes he got up and started to walk, with his disciple following him. They walked through several streets and alleys, until they arrived at a hotel.

"Come, let's enter inside", the yogi said to his disciple.

They just set foot in the entrance, when a well-dressed man approached them.

"I am the manager of this hotel. You look like traveling swamis, and I believe you have no money. Would you like to work in the kitchen, and in return I'll give you food and a place to stay?"

"Fine", the yogi responded.

The disciple was perplexed and asked the yogi: "Did you use any magic? How did you do that?"

"The secret is concentrating, visualizing, seeing details, having faith and projecting mental and emotional energy into the mental scene. These are the general prerequisites. When your mind is empty from thoughts, and only one single thought is allowed to enter, it gains a very great power. One should be very careful with what he thinks. A concentrated thought is powerful, and exerts a very strong influence."

The disciple looked at his teacher and said: "I see that I have to sharpen my concentration in order to be able to use this power."

"Yes, this is the first step", the yogi replied.

  • BRAVO!! One of the best posts this year and the kind I look for rather get caught up in the negative. By the way, you have a easy technique on how to still the mind down to the one thought. This is my greatest hurdle.

    I had to come back and edit this because the first thought came to me was that this may be how I will change MY reality from that negativity to a better world that I want to live in. So many distractions in this life.

  • Thank you for this post.

    This explain in a way how thoughts energies work. 

    Not that it involves something positive or negative in this, because frankly, when you clear your mind and focus just on one thing, there is Intent. Not positive thought, not negative thought, but INTENT. 

    Now, if you attach a feeling to your Intent, the energy that you propagate is amplified and works even better. 

    However, i kinda like this way of "darkness cannot drive out darkness and hate cannot drive out hate, only love can" :-D

    How do you drive out hate ? I think you don't drive out, you only Transform. You can Transform hate in something else, like sadness or indiference, but you don't drive out.

    Feelings are determined by flows of energies... how do you drive out your flow of energies ? You don't ... You can however control the flow and redirect it, in this way transforming feelings.

    Anyway, by taking in consideration that heart has its own mind (its own neuronal system), stoping your analitical  mind and focusing and projecting just an Intent (one need combined with the feeling of that need being accomplished), seeing it leaving from you, developing, growing and combining dots in order to work for you, and then connecting other dots in reverse direction in your reality until it reaches you back, will perform the real Magic.

    All we see around is just a big Mind playing :-D

    Have Love and Joy in your Life !

    • I think I have always known this but this is a reminder and a wake up call for me to get back on track, thanks.

  • one of the rare, nice posts around here.

    thanks Semile

  • I think the state of being is more powerful than thoughts. You ever feel a certain thing, or be a certain way, that you don't really like....then you try to think your way out of it, and think something different, but it doesn't work. Like if you feel angry, you might try to think to yourself, okay, I don't want to be angry...but you can try to think yourself unangry all you want, but until your state of being changes, you won't change.

    Or, let's say...you don't feel worthy of something. Of love, of whatever. And you know in your mind, that's an illusion, it's not logical to think that way...but deep down, you still feel that way, that's still your state of being. You can try to logically get out of that all you want, and think to yourself, I'm worthy....but until that deep seated feeling and state of being is changed, you'll still feel unworthy.

    Feelings and state of being are alot more powerful than thoughts. I know that, first hand. If you can control your state of being, you can literally be anything, and create anything. And conversely, if you don't control it, it can create some real problems for you, and put you in negative situations you really won't like. Descartes said, I think therefore I am. It's more like....I am therefore I am, I be therefore I'm being, and if you can control that I AM, that state of being...well there's not too much you can't be or create, I reckon.

  • Love this Semile!! :)  Positivity is so powerful ~ people often look at it like you don't understand darkness, but it's the opposite, it takes real strength and commitment to rise above the things that drag you down and shine in this world....

    You keep shining!!! :)

    This is for you <3
