Stray thoughts are a nuisance during meditation, are they not? This is your thinking mind. Do not struggle too hard. Be at ease. It will come. You see, in your physical life, you are so used to struggling everyday of your life. You work, you sleep, you work, you sleep, it is all one struggle after another to earn your daily bread. So, when there is opportunity for to relax in meditation, it is a new thing, it is difficult to stop the struggle.

You are speaking of positive thought. This is true, it does exist, but, I stress, it is not good to use this for personal wealth or gain. It is true, you should not over concern with clothing and such, but you have been told to take care of your physical body and life. It is a paradox, is it not? You must meet God halfway. You cannot lie back and expect God to help in your life's struggles if you do nothing for this yourself. You see, it was thought, long ago, that there was no need for Man to earn a living, to hunt for food. . . Leave it to God. God would provide all Man's needs. If you are sincere in asking for help with things which are needed, I say needed, not wanted, there is a very big difference, if you meet God halfway you will find God will help.

As to affirmations. It is the power of positive thought. If you say I am fat, I am fat, you will believe it, whether you are thin or not. Or, he is a bad person, he is a bad person, you will believe it, this is affirmation. Affirmations in meditation are 'prayer' because, in meditation, you an in communication with God, therefore, you affirm yourself to the ONE-NESS.

Ah! my [[friends]], this is indeed a knotty subject. We cannot tell you how to direct your life. You have the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments Ten Commandments] which are the only Rules we have laid down for you.

[[Human]] [[love]] has many, many sides. [[Sex]] is an [[expression]] of one of these sides. The [[Love]] that we speak of when we say the [[Light]] that is Love, which is [[God]], is vastly [[different]]. It [[transcends]] the love of one [[human being]] to another, but, while that Love is there, it is possible to still have a human love also.

The [[moral]] [[changes]] you mentioned have always been. Some have moral codes which are very loose, others have moral codes which are more strict. Those with the stricter code have a more [[simple]] life.
