The Beloved One: “At present you are pondering what this subject actually means, ‘to [[accept]] the [[consequences]] of the way you [[think]].” Simply stated, what you think about you [[attract]], because the way you habitually think greatly influences the way you live. The [[quality]] of thought usually [[decides]] the [[behavior]] of the person, depending on the state of [[awareness]] in which he or she lives. Even you, at times, are still not clear about why you act or [[react]] the way you do. Likewise is this the case with almost the entire [[population]] on [[this planet]].
“It is therefore recommended that if one [[desires]] to be [[altruistic]] and charitable during one’s mortal life that ideally some [[thought]] would be given as to how this can be accomplished. It would be a life encompassing — a willingness to walk the [[path]] with the most [[love]] in it. In other [[words]], to search wholeheartedly for the will and ways of [[God]]. It is therefore extremely important for anyone to [[embrace]] the higher way of thinking and not to entertain [[the self]] with low-level, unproductive thoughts. The higher way of thinking starts already on [[awakening]] each morning by being [[grateful]] for all [[blessings]] received.
“Do give some thought to the blessing of being able to get out of bed in the mornings without assistance, as this is usually taken for granted. Or if it had been another of those restless [[nights]], think about what [[the mind]] was [[busy]] with. Ask yourself: ‘was my mind occupied with substantial thoughts related to [[problem solving]] or were my thoughts undisciplined, without substance and therefore a [[waste]] of [[time]]? In the latter case, this might be caused by a restless mind which could, prior going to your rest, greatly benefit from some [[quiet]] time with thanksgiving [[prayer]] and [[meditation]] to calm the [[heart]] and influence the mind. In turn this would greatly aid all the [[bodily]] systems as the turmoil and worries of the day are left behind.
“Of course, this [[habit]] may at first require some self-[[discipline]] in order for one to become proficient at stilling the mind. However, think about the beneficial results to be had when cultivating a habit such as this. Disturbing [[cares]] and worries would be left behind. There is no earthly [[medicine]] that can achieve what prayer and meditation can accomplish when earnestly engaged in. [[The soul]] would be spiritually nourished and as a result all the body-systems would [[feel]] the calming influence and contribute to an overall better state of [[health]].
===Closing===
“What rich [[reward]] could be reaped over your lifetime when indulging in a [[practice]] of rising above the humdrum of life with, at times, its banal and loud [[entertainment]]. At best it is jarring to the [[nervous system]] with the danger of bringing the thought levels down to low-level, unproductive thinking, which in turn causes a restless [[sleep]] pattern.
“There is much to be said about the state of mind and one’s level of [[thoughts]] it is being kept busy with, as everyone is [[responsible]] for the consequences of their thoughts. Remember there will always be room for improvement and higher-level [[thinking]].”
