Changes

As you [[leverage]] the [[power]] of your [[mind]] with the aim of greater spiritualizing [[influence]] on your entire [[being]], you will find the best [[progress]] as you take your mind into the deep shipping [[channels]] where there is good speed and safety, to mark the points of [[hazard]] but keeping ever clear your [[journey]]’s goal.

Thoughts may be likened to paper airplanes, and your attitude may be likened to the currents of air. If you have established an attitude spiritually stable, personally motivated toward truth, beauty, and goodness, you have created currents in your mind-state on which your thoughts may sail and do so favorably both for self and for others. A vessel too heavy to fly will not leave the ground, and it will become increasingly easy for you to leave your bad thoughts grounded, for your attitude will be such that these heavier thoughts will not take to flight. I anticipate some would ask, yes, however, as much as I do seek to have a good attitude, these bad thoughts come my way. To which I answer, your responsibility not only is to have strong attitudinal currents upon which your thoughts may sail but to also spend your energy constructing good craft with which you may sail upon these attitudinal currents. As I return to the idea of the captain who does avoid the rocks, he is not looking for the rocks; he is looking for the open channel. Do not look for your heavy planes that won’t fly. Construct the lighter craft that can go aloft.

I will add one more comparison to this idea of attitude and thoughts and your work with your thoughts. When you are hungry -- let us designate hunger as your attitude -- at that time your thoughts may cross many methods, means, whereby you may alleviate that hunger. Recipes, foodstuffs all come to mind. Your attitude of hunger has fostered the generation of thoughts. These thoughts appear good and worthwhile. Let us suppose you have finished your meal. Your attitude has changed; you are no longer hungry. You can think the very same thoughts you thought before the meal, but now the recipe appears too filling; the food does not draw you. What happened to these thoughts? They are the same. I think you know the answer, it is in your attitude. Therefore it is not so important to wrestle with and screen, evaluate, and judge the worth of every thought. They will follow naturally as you adjust and upgrade and spiritualize your attitude.
