Individuals have lived through prison camps by mastering what they thought and felt about. Mankind has defied great physical pain and dreadful conditions with centered purpose. On a less spectacular scale, you have likely used the might of directed thought in your own life to cope with a miserably tedious job. A lot of us have, at some time, worked a job we despised; and we commonly coped with the workday by letting our minds be elsewhere. This simple illustration can be applied to explore the true power of thought, and particularly the might of positive thinking. Your power to produce your own truth and to use the law of attraction to evidence the life you wish starts with the simple direction of your day-to-day thoughts and feelings. I trust we're the co-creators of the cosmos. I do trust in what many individuals call god, divinity, or creation, but I decline the idea that mankind are slaves and/or fodder for a furious and judging deity in the world. Although our ego minds are not the most eminent form of awareness, I trust a part of our minds are entangled with the divine mind. Therefore the power of thought is like the force that produces the world around us. There are a lot of heated arguments on this issue. But I submit that particulars are not the vital consideration here.
