We are what we think.

Our thoughts are the means by which we can change the universe we live in. They influence the vibrations our energy fields emit and are the first thing one needs in order to create.  It is our mind that can direct the energy needed for creation one way or another. Thoughts are also a result of our interacting with external forces. And just as thought influences reality, reality can also influence thought, which can in turn influence reality again. Since we are conscious, we can choose what part of the randomness around us to be affected by, and how we in turn would like to affect it.

Your thoughts have power. This power is not very different from that of a magician. A magician will use a ritual to focus its thoughts in one dirrection and expect a particular outcome.

We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with an impure mind
And trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.

We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unbreakable.

How can a troubled mind
Understand the way?

Your worst enemy cannot harm you
As much as your own thoughts, unguarded.

But once mastered,
No one can help you as much,
Not even your father or your mother.
