Manage your Thoughts to a higher state of consciousness

Thoughts are entities, both good and bad, and their life’ depends upon your “Prana” (breath) or the life force to play on the merry-go-round of your mind where thoughts are riding all the time. They are harmless until you start nurturing them with your emotions. Once they have access to your emotions, they have the power to kill or create. If you want to live happily and fulfilled, you must know how to play with thoughts.

The moment we drop out of our mother’s womb, we have stepped into the world of thoughts. Our present life is an outcome of the thoughts from past lives and our future existence will be an outcome of our present state of thoughts. We are born around thoughts, live around thoughts, and will die around thoughts, and the kinds of thoughts that manifest in our conscious minds are based upon our past lives and our present circumstances. The energy of thought is so powerful that we can create or kill with thoughts. Were you ever taught about the thought process in the school, what thought is? The power of thoughts and how to use them? How thoughts have a negative polarity and a positive polarity?

No! You were taught just enough to become a machine that would know how it has to survive and become usable to society.

Thoughts are electrical signals which are picked up by our unconscious mind from the universal consciousness and then filtered and sent to the conscious mind where the “I” within us either processes the thought for action or discards it; the whole process is very scientific. The kinds of thought waves we get are based purely upon the state of our conscious and unconscious mind and the state of our soul.

Our birth in a particular country, religion, family, and into a male or female body, is the outcome of the collective thought patterns that are stored in the karmic databank that we have carried on from past lives into our present life and will carry on to the next one.

All thoughts that come onto the screen of our conscious minds are stored in our unconscious memory whether we accept them or reject them; all actions and all emotions are stored in our unconscious memory as well. ‘Whether we have thoughts of fear, anger, love, or hate, all are stored. That is one reason people suffer from phobias; some are scared of heights, some from water, and some from animals, as they are all experiences that took place in the past or in past lives.

The way one dresses, talks, and acts show the state of one’s thought patterns. It is not just Hollywood or Bollywood where movies are made; we are constantly making movies in our minds and projecting them on our lives.

Without thoughts, one will either be in the state of a Buddha, or Buddhu (idiot in Hindi).

A poor man could think like a king or a king could think that he is no more than a beggar in his life. It’s all because of thoughts; we continue taking births based upon our thoughts and desires. This world is a mere hollow-deck as they show in the new “Star Trek” show.

We have existed in the past and we will exist in the future and we will always exist; even enlightenment cannot destroy our being — all it does is to dissolve the “I” within us. What we are today, at this very moment, we have stored within our bodies; the experiences of all the lives we have ever lived, but the memory of the past is not accessible to us as we have become so weak that we cannot handle the drama of our day-to-day life. if by chance or by accident that storehouse of the past, that hidden hard disk, is made available to us, our bio-computer will crash and could become unusable, unless and until we prepare ourselves to have access to the past lives.

Let’s go back into your life; just think of an episode that has impacted your life for better or for worse, good or bad experiences — they are stored equally within us — but we have a tendency to retrieve bad experiences exactly the way they happened more than good ones as 99% of humanity live in misery 99% of the time. Only 1% of the world population is happy and for them, life is a bed of roses, such is their thinking process.

So this experience happened to you some 20 years ago and even today the memory is as alive as it was 20 years ago. Do you think it will fade away after another 20 years? No! It will stay as fresh as you want it to be. Unless and until you make a conscious effort to discard that episode, it will stay as alive as if it happened yesterday or only a few hours before. Even if you tried to erase it with meditation, affirmation, and other techniques available to us, all you would be doing is separating it from the emotional energy and then the episode will lose power as the link between the memory and the emotions is broken forever, since you have made a decision to unplug the emotional current that was feeding a particular thought or episode.

Hypnotists and healers use the same principle. They backtrack your mind into the experience and you are made to relive that experience, and at that sensitive moment they add a few lines in the data that this software or experience is no longer needed by you and in the process, the emotions connected with the episode are separated. You will not be able to cry or laugh anymore, but it will still be there in your memory with no feelings connected to it, no emotions. In your sleeping state you could dream of being a king but once the dream is broken you do not cry for the rest of your life that you have lost your kingdom. If you want to explore deeper into your mental and emotional problems, search for “Concept-Therapy” on the Internet.

Our mind is a movie studio and a theater of our own, and actually a step ahead because we also use our senses of touch, taste, and smell in our real-life movies. The day is not far when the TV will transmit an aroma along with the picture, or when science will able to know the base aromas just as science has known the base colors. Your TV will come with an aroma cartridge just as your printer has a color cartridge.

Whether we survived a horrible experience in the past or past lives, or a good one, all is stored within us just like a movie stored on a DVD, and based on the power of our being, we are able to assimilate or become addicted to the experiences. If the “I” within us stays sharp and aware, we learn from those experiences and move on. Otherwise, we keep on playing it over and over again, adding to our collection of miseries or fantasies.

People become addicted to drugs for the same reason as do people who are born in male bodies but are always trying to make them look female in the mirror. These are all examples of how we get addicted to our experiences. Imagine a boy who is still in the development stage left in the company of teenage girls, whom he has never experienced, and the females dress or undress, and he has never seen his mother putting on all that makeup; he gets a kick out of it. Just for fun’s sake, these teenage girls ask this young lad if he would like to put on these female clothes, and if he says yes, he is in for trouble for the rest of his life because society has separated even clothes into male and female, and once that little boy sees himself as a female in the mirror he has plugged into the consciousness of females; if he likes and loves his new image, he will spend the rest of his life reliving that state over and over again.

Since our present life is a continuation of our past lives, I would strongly say that the outcome of being a drag queen or a transvestite is not always a psychological disorder — half of the time it is karmic, and is due to an unfulfilling female past life or to have too many lives in the male body, and one has taken this life in a male body in a state of confusion; he has taken birth in a male body but his unconscious mind is accessing the thoughts belonging to the female body.

Do you realize that in ancient times, clothes were never male or female and men could wear jewelry as women did? Now the social structure has changed, dividing men and women to the point of lunacy that now we even have pens, notebooks, and cars exclusively made for females or males. Now a male cannot use something that is pink, or he will be labeled “gay.” The west started the concept with the sexual revolution and the east is catching up now. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, pink Cadillac used to be the fashion among men, and now one could lose one’s life, as one would be taken as gay.

Day by day humans are becoming slaves to the collective consciousness of the mass media and individual uniqueness is evaporating. Humans are growing up to be Madonnas, Michael Jacksons, Harrison Fords or Elvis Presley. No longer are we “US,” or “OURSELVES.”

We live in a world of thoughts and our actions are based on the thoughts we receive, which are entirely dependent on the state of our awareness. As long as this chain of thought exists, we will always exist, exactly the same way our memories will always exist until the “I” dissolves, at which point we have unplugged the memory from the emotional energy and have gone beyond this duality

Let’s presume that despite all the people Hitler killed on this planet, he had some good karma left from past lives and he is reborn to parents who are very spiritual-minded but have negative karma from past lives; as a result, they became instrumental in bringing such a burdened soul to this world. So Hitler gets another chance to go beyond his negative past. Now the bio-computer he got in this life is very spiritual but his past is very dark. ‘What is going to happen? He will dream of terror, live in terror

and guilt, and eat in terror unless and until he has made a good rapport with his existence. Just as the planet Earth has an ozone layer that protects the planet from harmful radiation, we have a psychic web protecting our astral body, which filters negative thoughts. So our Hitler has been reincarnated with a weak protective web due to his negative past; as a result, his unconscious mind will not be able to resist and filter his negative thoughts and those polluted thoughts will seep into his conscious mind and will haunt him day in and day out.

Here is a real-life experience, which I went through about 12 years ago. I was living in Mill Valley, California, at the time. One of my best friends, Andrea, called me one day and said that she would like me to go with her to an introductory class being offered by a chiropractic doctor known as Doc, and so I went with her just out of curiosity. About 15 people were present in the hall, and I was sitting there watching Doc as he demonstrated his extraordinary abilities to go into the past lives of people and erase their karmic blocks. When he was done with the person he was working on, he said, “Let’s see who’s next.” I started concentrating within my thoughts to pick me, and he did, such is the power of thought. So I relaxed on the table and he made me say the following affirmation: “I release my addiction with coffee and sugar.” I interrupted him and said that I am not addicted to sugar and coffee; on the contrary, I do not even like coffee. He said that four lives ago, I was in Rome as a merchant and I was addicted to sugar and coffee, and since my mother’s family came through me, there is a family history of diabetes in my mother’s family, which was 100% accurate. Just to let you know, I never had diabetes then or now, but most of my uncles and their children from my mother’s side have this problem. How could he know about my family history?

I became more curious and as a result, I signed up for his workshop, which was going to take place the following weekend. Next weekend came, and Andrea and I went to his weekend workshop. There were about 12 people in the workshop including Doc and his wife, a few Germans, and some Americans. I was the only person from India in the group. It was a kind of international mix destined to be there. The workshop started with general discussions about Doc’s background and about his wife, who was there to help Doc with his workshop. Off and on Doc would ask people to repeat sentences after him.

We were all sitting in a circle around Doc; that’s what we called him. All of a sudden he turned to this American lady in her late 40s and asked her to release the guilt she had connected with the massacre of males she ordered on the planet, Venus. In an instant, she started crying from the deepest core of her heart and started saying that all her life she has always felt guilty, even as a child, and she never knew what the reason was. Doc said that millions of years ago, there was life on the planet Venus, and the planet was dominated by females. The woman was a figure of power on Venus, where she had ordered that the testicles of many males be chopped off in order to punish them.

I felt really sorry for this woman, but also skeptical; at the same time, I was chuckling from within, as the scenario was very amusing for me because of the sexual repression that is very common in India. Doc gave her a box of tissues and immediately moved on to a German man and he said, “You were the one whose balls were chopped off, so you repeat after me: I release my anger…” All of a sudden we could see the fireworks of anger on his face and he screamed and cried loudly. Doc gave him a pillow into which he could release all his anger, and made him say some more affirmations to release his anger. Suddenly he moved towards me and said, “Yours too”; that was all he said, “Yours too,” and my body started trembling vigorously, each part shaking on its own as if I were having a fit. In a trembling voice, I asked Doc what was happening and he said that energy was being released that had been blocked all this time; the shaking and trembling continued for almost 45 minutes as the workshop continued. During the break, he told me that Andrea was my friend on the planet Venus but could not do anything for me at the time. It became very obvious to me that past lives are as true and alive as our existence at this very moment, and there can be no future if there was no past. After this episode, my sexual repression evaporated and something opened within me and I started growing in consciousness at a much faster pace than before. I had been obese since my childhood and after this episode, I started exercising, eating right, losing weight, and came down from a size 40 to a size 32.

As we read this very sentence, we have left the last word we read in the past but we always have the choice to go back and reread the whole book or the paragraph unless and until the book is lost and goes out of print and not a single copy can be found.

Going back to Hitler; the reason poor Hitler is feeling guilty and negative and is living in misery is because of his past records; the credit rating system of existence is very strict and you do not get a new file when you get a new body. The old records continue until the day you make a conscious effort to erase the data and ask for forgiveness from the higher source and from the souls you have hurt in past lives.

Now you can go back into your life and see if, in your life, you have experienced violence and torture from your father, your mother, your family, friends, or strangers. It is you who is supposed to go through the suffering and your poor parents become instruments because of their own negative past. If money is what is giving you problems, then you must have cheated someone in the past and are now re-living your own past. If it is hard to find love, then you must have deceived someone in the past. If you are sick, then you must have become the cause of someone’s sickness in the past. If you are unhappy in this life, then rest assured that you were the cause of someone’s misery in a past life.

We all come into this body for just one purpose and that one purpose is to erase our past and grow so that we can come out of this cycle of birth and death. But 99.9% of people get stuck in the same old rut of survival and very few reach a state where they come to realize the futility of life and start their journey inward.

There is a very interesting story about Buddha. One day Buddha and his disciple Ananda were sitting under a tree in a small village. Buddha was meditating while Ananda was watching. A man came and spit on Buddha. Being Buddha’s staunch follower, Ananda’s face turned red with anger; he was about to stand and hit the man, Buddha opened his eyes and asked him to relax. Ananda, still furious, commented, “Why? This man does not even know you yet he spit on you and now you ask me to relax and let it go?” To Ananda’s astonishment, Buddha replied, “I had been waiting for years for this man to come and clear his karma with me, as this was the only balance left from the past lives and he has discharged me and I am a free man today,” and Buddha thanked the old man. Listening to all this, something happened in the old man and he fell on the feet of Buddha and asked for forgiveness.

Are you still skeptical about past lives? Here is an experiment you can do in real life. Next time you are thrown into a situation where the decision pertaining to your life lies in the hands of a stranger (e.g., your job is at stake and your boss is trying his best to get you fired), relax in a comfortable position and take some deep breaths; breathe in deeply and hold and exhale deeply; follow this pattern about 15 times and then hyperventilate your mind by breathing in and out very fast and deep without holding; do this about 15 times. Go back to the relaxed breathing and visualize your boss. Smile at your boss in your imagination and tell him, “(Your boss’s name), I release all negative experience connected with you from your past lives, on all levels of existence where we exist and have existed. I forgive you for the past and I ask for forgiveness from your higher self; I transmute and transform all negative energy into love and from now on we will be neutral as far as our past and present are concerned.”

Breathe in deeply and exhale with a long humming sound. Repeat this a few times.

Take a deep breath and try to live what you said a few minutes ago; really feel for your boss and do not give him any nasty looks or send him negative thought vibrations. Also, do not involve yourself in topics at work during breaks where your coworkers are having volcanic eruptions about your boss. You are in for a surprise; in a few days, the same boss who was contemplating getting you fired has become a different person, and do not be amazed if he recommends you for a promotion. Even if none of the above happens and you do get laid off, still you will find that a lot of positivity came out of this negative episode. Such is the power of our thoughts relating to our past and present lives.

Man is facing a new kind of problem called depression. One is unable to sleep at night, concentration is lost, and the mood stays negative all the time. One becomes hopeless and helpless, even suicidal. If one is physically weak, the body starts showing signs of fatigue, fever, running nose, indigestion, allergies, and we can go on and on. The whole system goes into a mayday situation. What exactly is depression? Too many thoughts, too much thinking, overloading the mind, and one starts having stress, as one has stretched his mind to the extreme in the thought world and now one has a bunch of negative thoughts that take hold of the mind and one is unable to diffuse them and depression starts setting in.

It always starts with stress and then escalates to depression. Tightness around the shoulder area, on the forehead, right above the eyes, in the temple area, in the upper and lower jaws, and at the roots of the thumb area on both hands are all indicators of a stressed body. Stress gets accumulated in the upper part of the body first and then starts moving downwards, affecting the organs. When the body gets loaded with stress it goes into a depressive mode. In depressive mode, the nails on the big toes on both feet lose their natural color and become black, hard, or deformed.

What transpires in depression is that one is unable to come out of the depressive state of mind, as one gets lost in the quicksand of slushy thoughts. The source of fresh and positive thoughts dries out and there is a stagnation of thoughts within the conscious mind, and as they rot, the fumes put pressure on the mind and the mind is unable to extract oxygen from the bloodstream causing the mind to go into a depressive state, and the body goes into a mayday situation, as it depends upon the mind for its functions to operate smoothly. Modern science is very poor and outdated and it has no idea as to what causes depression.

Here is another eye-opener: the Earth is negative polarity and sky is positive polarity, and we exist in between Earth and sky. Our head is in direct contact with the sky, just like a satellite dish, and our feet are always connected with the Earth; our existence is right in the middle. When we lose the connection with the Earth, which the New Age community calls “grounding,” our ability to send negative and corrupted energy to the Earth is lost and the communication is broken, thus causing stagnation in the bio-computer. As in a state of depression, we lose the ability to drain old thoughts or recycle them. Depression is primarily a male disease. Very few women suffer from depression; the ones who are mind-oriented and lack a strong connection with their feminine side suffer from this horrendous disease; otherwise, it is purely a male disease.

Please look in the Healing section for a simple remedy to eradicate depression.

If you can stay happy most of the time, there is no way you will ever suffer from stress.

Here is a simple method to check your inner happiness or unhappiness: if you have lived a life that has been full of thoughts of joy and happiness, you will have high cheekbones or very fleshy cheekbones. Whether you are a man or a woman, it does not matter. Your skin quality will be smooth and your face will look like a blooming flower (picture in the book)

In the above picture, you can see that the person has high and fleshy cheeks; people with similar cheeks and cheekbones are full of positive thoughts and are happy from within; you can feel this in their company.

Now let’s look at the opposite of happiness, which is unhappiness and sadness. As you see in the picture (picture in the book), the person has no fat on the cheeks — the cheek area is depressed, and his skin lacks shine and clarity. Sadness and disinterest in life are quite visible on his face. If we compare the two pictures we can see that the woman’s face blooms with joy and the man’s face have shrunk with sorrow. Unhappiness is the end result of stretching oneself between the past and the future rather than living one’s life in the present moment. Contentment and control of the mind are key elements towards keeping one’s self away from becoming miserable.

The cheek area represents the positive and negative attitudes within a person. If you look at the bigger picture, you will find that only 10% of men are happy, compared to 90% of women who are happy. It is very interesting to see that the majority of women in western countries are unhappy and have depressed cheeks. It is also interesting to see that a great majority of blacks are happy and have high cheekbones despite all the racism they must contend with. It all depends on the state of your inner mind. Your awareness has the ability to control the flow of negative and positive thoughts, but if you are not focused on life, your mind will lack the ability to concentrate on one thought or one area. In most people’s minds thoughts are not concentrated but are scattered. These people jump from one thought to another and end up at the original thought they started with, and then start jumping again. They lack concentration in life and are flops in their personal lives relating to all matters. Since they are so disoriented, and since most have no understanding, they fall for vices on the inner level as well as on the outer level. As they become addicted to negative thoughts, i.e., hate, anger, resentment, guilt, etc., they become addicted to vices like drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes on the outer level; these addictions give them some concentration because smoking is a sort of mantra, as is alcohol. The king of all vices is drugs, where the mantra becomes the master as soon as you give your power to it. The majority of drug users will get hooked and form habits because they will gain a kick in life by chemically slowing the mind and steering it towards their fantasies and illusions. By using the drugs, the “I” within the person loses its grip. But since the “I” is very strong, it fights back, and every time the person will need a higher dosage. When the “I” loses its grip the boundaries drop, so that one who is on drugs who starts laughing will go on laughing, and one who starts crying will go on crying. In the long run, the nerves start becoming numb and the neurotransmitters slow down to the point where the individual becomes dumb and blacks out quite often. One day the individual never returns to his conscious state, as the “I” has lost its war to a chemical and the body loses its connections with the mind, making it unbearable for the life energy to stay as a guest. The host dies and the guest leaves in search of a new host.

Instead of taking drugs, if one is really interested in intoxicating one’s mind, the best way to achieve that is by chanting a mantra over and over again. This mantra can be anything from “AUM” and “AMEN” to “ALLAH HO.” After you have chanted it a few million times, you will have mastery over the mantra and you will remain drunk in the divine nectar at all times. Not just this — you will be able to perform miracles unknown to the common man, heal people, know what others are thinking — it all depends on your dedication and on how receptive your individual chakras are.

We need to use the power of thought to live happily, blissfully, and at the same time, we have to use thought to go beyond thought; it is very tricky because even the thought of going beyond thought is also a thought. But it is the vehicle of thought which will transport the “I” within us to the point where we will have to take the jump into a thoughtless state. It is very much possible, only if we practice and practice.

Remember that thought + action + grace = mission accomplished. Never forget grace, as our existence is much smaller than a microbe in this vast and infinite cosmos; we do not even exist although, interestingly, each one of us thinks that we are more powerful than the collective power of this cosmos.

Our thoughts are our link to the outside world. From thoughts, we move on to words and actions. If you are nurturing negative thoughts of hopelessness and helplessness, your future will be hopeless and helpless; if you are giving power to thoughts of hate, you will hate yourself and the world around you; as a result, you will be hated by the people around you in the future.

If you are giving power to positive thoughts of love, happiness, and creativity, your future will be happy and blissful. Watch your mind; be aware because the thieves of greed, anger, hate, and guilt are always looking for an opportunity to rob your bio-energies, as their survival depends upon you. If you want a good harvest of positive thoughts, you must become a scarecrow for the negative thoughts. The thought is energy, thought is power, and mankind needs to use this power for its liberation, as our only hope lies in the thought.

Use this power of thought to erase your past and try to live in the present because we always live in the past or in the future but never in the present. Use the power of thought to create a loyal friend within yourself who can remind you that you are not the “I” and the “I” within you will start shrinking, and one day, just this friend will exist and not the “I” and then you can say good-bye to this friend as you jump on the bandwagon of thoughtlessness, a state of deep meditation, where you will be greeted by your being, your inner self, the real you.

Your relationship with yourself starts with your thoughts. If you are in harmony with yourself, if you are in love with your own being, yourself, there is no way you will hate the world; then everything outside of you is in harmony including your relationships with other beings around you. Then you will smell of love, breathe love, drink love, talk love, and love is the only vibration you will spread; then you will not find the need to say to others “I love you.” The radiance of your love, the power of your love will attract people towards you and any person white, black, brown, whose heart or emotional center is ready to open, will open in an instant.

Some tips to think about:

1. Just as you are aware that you do not breathe in pollutants, just as you are aware that nothing unusual gets into your mouth, just as you are aware that dangerous bacteria does not enter your body and harm your health, just as you are aware that an unknown person does not enter your house and rob you or harm you, follow the same rule with your thoughts. Be very aware that negative, corrupted, and inharmonious thoughts do not enter the screen of your consciousness and start multiplying and start destroying the fate of your future.

2. Treat all your thoughts with your love because if you hate a thought you are still giving power to the thought. Love and understanding are the only power we have to deal with negative thoughts.

3. Think and then rethink before you say or act because your words and actions could cause immense damage to you or to the other person at whom your thoughts, actions, and words are directed.
