Thoughts and their effects

Thoughts belong in the ethereal world, which is why it is hard to capture them and write them down in an earth bound language.
It is also why thought forms are strong and important. It is also why it is so hard to remember a thought in its entirety.

When the intuition instigates a thought, this is then taken over by the brain and turned into a language that the physical person can understand. During this process the previous experiences and learnt responses go to work to direct and modify the intuitions original concept and so the final thought that gains expression is no longer a work of the “spiritual” . It is now a work of the whole person. This thought then acts both within the physical world and triggers activity, and also travels to the ethereal. There it acts in accordance with the basic laws on creation. It joins together with other thoughts that are homogeneous to it. These thoughts gather strength from each other and then seek an individual who is also homogeneous and who is issuing similar thoughts. The strengthened thought form then becomes at one with this physical individual and seeks to become physical activity through them.
This can be for good, scientific “inspiration” being the ability of one individual to “tap into” those thoughts generated by many others and to interpret these into meaningful progress.
This process can also lead to evil activity. A weak individual gathers the smaller thoughts of say lust, that their individual creators had been able to control, and they then become overwhelmed by the strength of the entering thought form and commits acts that are unacceptable to society.

Getting back to the origination of thoughts themselves, though intuition starts the process and intuition is the communication system of the sprit, it needs the physical brain to bring the thought into the physical world. The physical brain is limited by its knowledge. The knowledge of the brain is limited by its experience. Experience that restricts. A child has fewer restrictions and so the thoughts that get expressed, are more intuitive.
The intuition is the language, or communicator, of the spirit and that it why it is so hard to define. The language and boundaries of definitions are earth bound, physical things while the spirit and intuition are not.
Can we learn to connect with out spirit and intuition? It is more a case of can we stop putting our earth bound experiences in the way of and in control of, the intuitive and spiritual, “meanings” to the thoughts that our spirit instigates.

Our brains also instigate thoughts but these are reaction thoughts and have no ethereal life. These are thoughts that occur in response to a physical earth bound event. When faced with an event or an argument or choice, then our earth bound physical brain has to instigate matching earth bound physical activities to react or act on this situation. These “reaction thoughts” are not of the same type as the creative intuition instigated thoughts.

The sprit and intuition can not, by themselves, directly cause physical action, or react to physical events. They have to operate through a connection that is linked to the physical. They connect through emotional responses and through the brain. These link the ethereal to the physical.

The two types of thought are, one, the intuitive which gets modified and controlled by the brain before becoming both action and an ethereal thought form and the second type is the reaction thought that is originated in the physical world and has no direct connection with the ethereal.

Our experiences in life do filter back to the spirit. In fact it is probable that the reason our sprit needs to inhabit a physical body, is in order to learn from experiences and so to grow into a more useful, to creation, entity.
Thus in one way a reactive thought may be indirectly connected to the spirit. If the reactive thoughts leads to an experience that enables the sprit to grow a little and learn a little.
The biggest problem for modern humans is that we have stopped the connecting pathway between the intuitive and the physical. This means we do not accept intuitive thoughts and so we close ourselves off from the benefit of good thought forms and we also prevent our sprit from gaining full benefit from our experiences. We may also close ourselves off from evil thought forms but this will be only a temporary effect. Evil thought forms can take a long time to gather huge numbers of homogeneous fellows and to be come so strong that they can over come our power to shut them out. Good and useful thought forms are not so plentiful and do not gather the same strength.
So this is why we need positive thinking, in the true meaning of that phrase.
