When you change the way you look at things the things you look at change. I’ve used this phrase several times in this book and you may be wondering why I’ve repeated it so much. Because we need to change the way we interpret history, the Bible, religion, Heaven, Hell, and every other great mystery.
You may be familiar with the saying, “As ye sow, so shall you reap.” If you are looking at it from a religious stance, where everything is determined by whether you go to Heaven or Hell, this might be interpreted to mean that the moral, ethical, and lawful misconduct of human beings would be punished in the hereafter.
Suppose we look at this familiar saying from the spiritual viewpoint. It is said that we are part of God and there is no Hell, then the saying would mean that a positive thought sowed in the Subconscious Mind would reap prosperity and happiness.
Whether this thought is moral or immoral, ethical or unethical, has nothing whatever to do with the inexorable process involved for the seed having been planted must grow and grow it will into a physical reality. The choice becomes yours. How do you want to look at it?
The Subconscious Mind is a garden and as a garden on Earth knows only to reproduce the seeds that are sowed; if you plant a carrot seed, a cucumber will not grow. The garden of your Subconscious Mind knows only to create reality from the seeds of your thoughts. Every word you utter, every thought you have is either plantings of prosperity or planting of weeds. What do you want to reap from your garden? Success and Happiness or failure and misery? It’s your choice.
Today’s Exercise: Control your thinking. Your thoughts are previews of things to come.
Today’s Affirmation: I have a positive mental attitude, therefore I am a success.
Points to Ponder: The Subconscious Mind is a garden and is as a garden on Earth.It knows only to reproduce the seeds that are sowed. If you plant a carrot seed, a cucumber will not grow.
