LIKE a stone thrown into a body of water produces ripples over
that water, your thoughts produce ripples and waves which
transmit over the great ocean of thought that surrounds us.
The same way that we are surrounded by a sea of air, We are
encircled by a great sea of Mind. Our thought waves move and
transmit through this sea. These thought waves have the quality
of reproducing themselves.
A strong thought tends to awaken similar vibrations in minds
attuned to receive them. A thought will not affect you if your
mind is not attuned to it. As an example, if you are accustomed
to thinking thoughts that present great results you will be able to
tune in into the vibrations of other minds keyed to the same thoughts.
On the other hand, If you get into the habit of thinking thoughts of
an adverse nature, you will soon be reproducing the same low quality
thoughts originating from the minds of others thinking along the same
lines.
You are for the most part “what” you think you are, the balance comes
from the suggestions and thought of others, which have reached you either
directly by verbal suggestions or telepathically by means of such thought
waves.
Your typical mental disposition will determine the character of
the thought waves received from others as well as the thoughts
emanating from yourself. You only receive from others thoughts
that are in harmony with your general mental attitude. The
thoughts not in harmony with yours do not affect you, since they
do not awaken any response in you.
If you believe completely in yourself and if you maintain a
positive strong mental attitude of Confidence and Determination
you will not be affected by the counter-productive and negative
thoughts of Despair and Failure emanating from the minds of
people in whom these fears prevails.
On the contrary, if you don’t believe in yourself and if you
maintain a negative mental attitude, you will be strongly
affected by those negative thoughts. Your negative state will
deepen, your energy will be depleted, you will feel down and
even more discouraged.
In conclusion
Yes we are continuously affected by the thoughts of others even
though most of us are oblivious to this fact.
You attract to yourself the thoughts of others on the same level
as yours. If you think success will you tune in with the
minds of others thinking likewise, and they will help you, and
you will in turn help them. If you allow your mind to dwell on
thoughts of failure, you will attract like minds and you will
experience even more failures because there are more negative
thought vibrations in motion within our mental environment.
Do not allow yourself to be affected by the adverse and negative
thoughts of those around you. Look for good in everything and
everyone if you want to attract the things and people that
correspond to your thoughts.
