3: CONTEMPLATE THINGS DIVINE
Our mental body is composed of matter of several degrees of density (depending on our evolution). Every thought we think produces correlated vibrations in the matter of our mental body (and emotional body if tinged with desire, which most of our thoughts are). Low-level thoughts set up a vibration in the low-frequency matter whereas lofty thoughts set up a vibration in the high-frequency matter. In other words: our overall frequency rises and/or falls with EVERY SINGLE (!) thought we think. Every thought has its particular vibration. And this vibration then radiates from us in all directions, touching other minds.
We are literally a sending and receiving station.
Now, it should be obvious that it is essential for our Spiritual growth and for our capacity to serve effectively that we should learn to control our thinking. Part of what that entails is never permitting any vain or stray thought to occupy our mind – to the best of our ability. As a matter of fact, it is essential that we deny any vain or stray thought to enter our mind and that we permit only thoughts of things divine.
Thoughts occupy space. When we litter our mental body with unnecessary, unimportant and stray thoughts, there is no room for high and lofty thinking. We cannot think high thoughts with a disorganized, low-level mental body because lofty thoughts need lofty matter to express themselves adequately. So, we need to raise our overall mental frequency. An excellent way to do this is to hold the mind steady in the light and to contemplate the idea of divine love and perfection at all times. This is how we sublimate our mental vehicle and expand it in size.
So, instead of allowing vain thoughts to occupy our mind, let’s make it a point to ONLY contemplate love, light, peace, abundance, service, perfection, evolution and the awakening of humanity, etc. Vain thoughts distract our attention and waste our energy. So do evil (fear-based/separative) ones.
Some of us have learned the importance of being vigilant against fear-based/separative thoughts, however, we have a tendency not to bother at all about the stray thoughts that occupy our mind. Always remember that thoughts are tangible forces: powerful, real and alive. Thoughts, setting in motion waves of force, produce consequences. Vague and scattered thoughts are vague and scattered forces. Clear and focused thoughts are clear and focused forces. All forces produce effects.
We are unceasingly generating thought forms. As such, we are each surrounded by a multitude of thought forms that we continually create by our habitual thinking. And through these „glasses“ we then look at the world.
Therefore, hold your mind steady in the light. That is: concentrate your mind on things divine – and shut the door to any stray thoughts floating around in the mental atmosphere. This is an excellent exercise to purify, organize, align and master our mental instrument. This exercise alone will change our life to the better like nothing else will do.
