Thought Forms

There are only three requirements for spiritual peace:
Faith
 - If we make an intelligent investment by placing our faith in spiritual realities, we will obtain positive results. But if we invest poorly by concentrating on the transitory aspects of existence, we will become sad and disappointed
Keep the mind absorbed in transcendental knowledge
 - read scripture
- perform worship (incantations)
- chant, meditate and pray
- attend lectures
- listen to tapes
- associate with like minds
Regulate the senses
- control of the senses is intimately related to control of the mind
- the way in which we fix the mind determines whether we master the senses or are controlled by them, and whether the mind serves the intelligence and the soul or interferes with their development.

Sub-consciousing

Self-concept is born of two minds; the conscious mind, which is the creative mind, the one that is associated with identity and does the thinking, computing and contemplating; and then there is the sub-conscious mind, which is like a tape player or a video camera. It automatically records behaviors and plays it back; every environmental signal influences it.

Without our conscious awareness, other people, societal expectations, experience, perceptions, environment, family, friends and associations have programmed it, shaping our perspectives, our existence and ways of being. We are always “living the dream”.

The question one has to ask is; “am I living a conscious dream or an unconscious dream?” Continue reading Sub-consciousing
