Positive thinking is a delightful band-aid in modern times when religions of all different creeds no longer give people the faith in God in the way they did when religions began, and is therefore a new way of substituting this particular feeling of elation which comes from being in touch with God Itself, through knowing oneself as a divine being, and unconditionally loved by God Itself, which is then of course a lost feeling. Now this is being misplaced into a modern version of positive thinking instead, and fabricates a sort of wash-over, to bring and duplicate the feeling of being divinely held in God’s tender loving care, that then connects you to the natural way of living, going along and taking delight for example, in the twitter of birds, and the blossom of the flowers, and so on, and that misplaced version is quite a disastrous move in the wrong direction. When you are looking at early man, there was this delight naturally happening, and therefore all the feelings were part of the being, and part of nature, and early man understood that when it rains and thunders you don’t necessarily feel the greatest at all times, but if you integrate yourself in going with nature, and finding shelter, and taking care of your needs, and then when the weather is turning to the blossom of the sun shining upon the earth you are lifting up again, because you are in touch with nature and yourself in the most beautiful version that is the natural version, and a positive thinking “I must get up today and only think positive thoughts” is not something that has been taken into account or even being a thought of consideration or even a concept of thinking for the early man, but modern life is somewhat more complicated of course and requires a little bit more discipline and understanding on how to integrate into society and into the pressures of going to work, so to a certain degree, of course, you have to control your feelings and that is always a very big danger that these then build up into depression, because they are not being dealt with honestly in a matter of understanding that the struggles are there, and so the search for the requirement to bring ease and joy back in a natural way is then completely lost, and then when the soul gets stuck and goes to rock bottom, a wonderful book about positive thinking sounds just the right band-aid, but in the long term that can’t work unless the soul naturally understands how to connect to her or his soul again through God Itself, and the divine understanding of the natural cooperation with all that is sensed within, and knowing and understanding how to reassess other beings around that are not necessarily reacting in exactly the way this person has set up as a new understanding of the self, so indeed you have to be considerate and apologetic for the souls that have gotten it wrong and go along with a ‘new way’ bandage and find solace in it, in some way or another, and yet still ending up perhaps in the drink or in the parties or whatever, because they all are trying their best, but in the end the only thing that works is thinking of being connected back to the natural self, and allowing even the difficult feelings to have their place, and embracing the whole feeling-tone of being, including of course all the up and downs, as part of getting to know the self that you presently are in this life, and being always reassured by God Within, that there is a way to all the desires and all the fulfilment that is so much requested and yearned for by the soul itself. Honesty is of course a very difficult thing for many people especially when they have been tinkering with it so long, and perhaps have been going a bit on the wrong road, and that makes it extra difficult to suddenly have to face the feelings of guilt also, but it is of course worthwhile at any point, to sit back and reassess your own states, and understand that the nature of reality is what fills your soul with strength from all the times and places and all the beings that are connected to the soul through the reincarnational aspect and so on.
