Chapter One

What is Control Thought?

It is learning to listen to what kind of thoughts we are having and controlling them. Are they positive or negative? When our Mind accepts an idea as being true, it then becomes true for us. Every idea through thought fed into the Mind is bound to produce an effect exactly like its cause. We have the power within to make anything happen in our life.

Control Thought

Can do anything that the mind can receive from the One Mind, that Infinite Intelligence. Thoughts create everything that we experience in life from the very beginning of our life. Our thoughts are the creative avenue of the Mind within us.

With Control Thought, you will see order replace disorder, unity replace separation.

You only have to choose and the Law of Mind honors your selection. Therefore in Control Thought, make wise and loving choices in consciousness, then the unfolding of corresponding conditions will manifest.

One needs to work with Control Thought to create the kind of life one wants to experience.

The thoughts you want to think about are as hard to control as the thoughts you do not want to think about. Our Mind is compelled to create conditions in our life based upon the ideas that are fed into our Mind through thought. Controlling your thoughts can change your life.

We must run our own subjective and emotional life.

If not, the world will run it for us and will impregnate it with all sorts of ideas of limitation. Every person must learn to run his or her own life. For no one can take our place when death comes.

There is one Power.

That which is within. One true Law and that is your own Spirit. It is the only immutable Power we know, our intuition and inspiration, all comes from the direction in which we turn our thoughts.

It is because of man's nature and not his will that his thoughts are creative. Truth is the law of nature at work.

Being clear about this is important. What you think is what you are instructing the Mind to create for you through you&madash;what you can and cannot do. Faith makes what your thought images are, turning them into what you are. Everything in the Universe is in accord with the law, just as faith is a law and acts as such.

Know your own thoughts.

Train yourself to think what you wish to think, be what you wish to be, feel what you wish to feel, without limitation. In a similar manner, think right thoughts until your thoughts become perfectly clear.

Everything is from within out.

Even if you have heard this a hundred times, it is good to keep reminding yourself that whenever you move your mind, everything else in your life will start to move in the same direction.

Everything we do is in response to a desire.

Our faith directs us in whatever we do. Faith is a condition of the Mind. With desire and faith, there is a facility called imagination. Imagination is our plan-making department and is under our direction. There is no limit to our ability to use imagination.

Right decision is the action of a Control Thought.

Its being is the consciousness of the One Mind. A person can decide today to reject or accept what he has. One must learn to rule one's life.

The clearer your thoughts are about your real nature, the more you will be able to experience it. We are individuals and must express the individuality to the fullest extent in our personality.

Many people are besieged by unruly emotions.

Feelings may often seem to overwhelm you and tear you apart. "I can't help the way I feel." But is this true? Are you to be lifted to the sky with flights of good feelings only to be plunged low by down-spells? Are you not able to use your intellect to help you recognize your powerful emotions, think them through and change them if necessary?

We are surrounded by a Universal Mind into which we think.

This Mind in its original state fills all space. It fills the space that man uses in the Universe. It is in man as well as outside him. As man thinks, he sets a law in motion which is creative. Every thought in the life of an individual may express itself.

The wonderful thing about the Mind is that we can change our input to create a different result.

Sounds simple, doesn't it? It is.

If your belief systems have been held in place for years, what you need to do is program a whole new input and be faithful about practicing your new patterns of thought.

The change we need to make occurs first within ourselves.

If you are not experiencing the good you desire, you need to change your thinking. For instance, you do not like what you are hearing in your mind, or you are not getting what you are looking for. Then the time is now to change all thoughts that keep you from getting what you want in life.

We all have the ability to choose and decide

All the belief systems that were taught to you in your early days were someone else's thoughts of how they perceived the world. As you learn to grow in the spiritual world, your belief system gives way to a new belief system. This means through your power to choose and decide you can build the personality and character you choose to build. These are all mental facilities and spiritual qualities to be used, expressed and experienced as you grow in understanding yourself.

Cause and Effect

The law of cause and effect is very simple and very sure in its working. Cause and effect are inseparable. You should think of them as always being together.

Thought is the cause. Action is the effect.

We can change any effect by changing the cause.

Think what you want to happen. Expect your thinking to come to pass. Learn to be specific. This gives your creative power direction. Cause and effect are inseparable and you should think of them as always being together.

Always remember that all you can ever do is support or attempt to support each other. You can only engage in unity or division.

The law of cause and effect operates on our beliefs as we actually believe them to be.

Each of you can take charge of your own life in a way that will lead you to experience a deep sense of joy, satisfaction and fulfillment. It all starts with the awareness that the Mind can and does control all that you are from the very beginning.

It is a universal law: if we reverse the action of a cause, we can at the same time reverse the effect.

Negative thoughts produce negative results. Positive thoughts produce positive results.

We have the power within to make anything happen in our life.

You have the same power to change any situation you created out of the thoughts you fed into the mind.

What are your basic attitudes toward life?

This is an important question for you to answer since your attitudes affect your life so profoundly. For instance, happy people tend to have a healthy attitude of self acceptance, feeling that they deserve to be peaceful and happy; while those who are not happy tend to display the attitude that they are not deserving of life's good.

With the strong belief we hold about ourselves, we cannot fail to assume shape and form in the outer world.

Redirect your thinking until you gain new and more positive beliefs about who you really are. Let go of all of those negative thoughts you have of yourself and bring into your thoughts only the positive ones.

There is a difference between faith and belief.

One can have faith with little belief. But a belief in faith reaches a point that you no longer have to work at it. It is always there in your thoughts. Like thoughts of "I can" instead of thoughts of "I cannot."

Every time we think, we are thinking into a receptive plastic substance, which receives the impression of our thoughts.

When you stop to realize how subtle thoughts are, how unconsciously you think something negative, how easy it is to get down and out, mentally, you see that it is perpetuating its own condition.

Why is this happening to me?

Life is your attempt to integrate what you see happening with what you think should be happening. You are spending time asking God to explain to you the insanity of the world you yourself created, through your attitudes and beliefs. The real question is show us the blessings or the lessons you would have us learn. God's voice is everywhere. Accept the answers. Be patient.

Control Thought establishes us to greater faith and good.

Right thoughts govern your affairs, for you have complete dominion over your thoughts, in charge of whatever goes on in your life. What do you think you can or cannot do? Thinking clearly about this is important. What you think is what you are instructing the Mind to create for you.

Listen for reassurance

The right answers are never forced upon you. They require your willingness to want them. Then it is given to you or in reality you become aware of them. After you have taken them in, the ones that will work start to grow and become apparent.

Our inner guide will gladly affirm that our thoughts are true.

The reason is simple. They are in concert with our highest mind. Our highest self or mind is always in concert with God, the source of all knowledge.

Man is a spirit while God is The Spirit.

Within the infinite Mind, each individual exists not separated but as a separate entity. You are not separated from life but are a separate entity in it. You are individualized in your own world.

The secret of getting in shape mentally is to clear our negative beliefs and limiting ideas.

When you do so, you reshape your destiny. Let's stretch your mental muscle and reach into a living-ness you have only imagined up to now. Be filled with enthusiasm and zest for mentally shaping up. Release all negative ideas from life now and replace them with new vitalizing, energizing thoughts of love, life and power.

There is One Infinite Mind.

This is from which all things come. This Mind is through, in and around man. It is the only Mind there is and every time man thinks, he uses it. There is one limitless life which returns to the thinker exactly what he thinks into it.

Move from the impossible to the I am Possible.

Become enthusiastic over new creative ideas and continue to learn and grow. In this manner, you will remain young in heart and your body will reflect your thinking at all times.

Man is an individualized center of Divine Thought.

Through him, the Original Thinker is finding a fresh starting point for its creative power. Creative Minds are one with the Universal Intelligence.

All habits are objectified thoughts.

You are not a victim of the thoughts, opinions, theories or beliefs of others; nor your own personal fears. Our own subconscious is amenable to change. That is its nature.

Take stock of the thoughts you are entertaining in your mind.

If there are any that do not promote success, let go of them and replace them with Control Thoughts that produce wholeness and happiness. This is a good day to start weeding out unwanted thoughts and planting Control Thoughts that you wish to see flourish.

We are the conductor of our orchestra of life.

Do you ever notice others playing the wrong notes of negative ideas, such as:

I don't feel well;

Things are a mess; or, I can't stand my neighbors!! Is it any wonder that life seems to be less than harmonious?

Think about it, maestro.

I will be master of my own actions.

I will never permit myself to become confused or perplexed. A powerful Will gives a person the ability to emit powerful energy into a given thought and keep it there until the goal is attained.

We are all receptive to the larger Mind, of which we are all a part.

Its power is your power. Its wisdom is your wisdom. Its nature is your nature. It has the availability and the willingness to be the creative impulse in your thoughts. Control Thought has the ability to cause wonderful and rewarding experiences in your life.

The Mind is the creative principle of life.

Each person has access to it and each person has an instrument which can be used to bring into life whatever it wants. When you know how to control your thoughts, then each one of you can map his or her own destiny without limitations. This instrument is the Mind.

The energy of mind, like other natural energies, already exists.

You should carefully consider whether you are willing to experience the results of your thoughts. If you keep your thoughts fixed upon the idea that this energy, which is also Intelligence, is now taking form of some desire in your life, then it will begin to take that form. The thoughts that you concentrate on become your attention.

We are dealing with a Universal Principle through our thought power.

Why should you set any limit to its Power? Universal Principle is the law of the Universe. The law knows nothing about limitations.

Our reason for being is Universal Life, which is our origin.

Truth is the door to freedom and knowing that you are perfect just as you are. Live in peace and know that harmony is your every experience in life. Th ings are guaranteed to work for you if you keep your attitude correct.

Our experiences are the direct result of our own state of mind and nothing else.

You are the final arbiter of your own fate. When our mind accepts an idea as being true, it then becomes true for us. Every idea through thought fed into the mind is bound to produce an effect exactly like its cause. We have the power within to make anything happen in our life. Also, we have the same power to change any situation we create out of the thoughts we feed into the Mind.

Guilt and fear cause some ideas and beliefs to be forced below the conscious level, where they are hidden away from us.

When you are willing to seek out these separated thoughts and have them exposed, they will be brought to truth where they can be seen as illusions. They will return to the nothingness which they really are. In reality, you are always guided and cared for while remaining in constant communication with your source of knowledge, power and harmony.

All that we become and do and hear in the physical life is prepared behind the veil within us.

Therefore, it is of immense importance in life to grow conscious of what goes on within these domains. You must be the master. You must be able to feel, know and deal with the secret forces that determine your destiny and your internal and external growth or decline.

Acknowledge the One Spirit, the one mind of the Universe

In everything you do, there is a logical sequence of plan, proceed and prosper. Thoughts need to be followed by action. You prosper as a result. You have the capacity to follow through on anything you want to create, including a new way of living. Life is always ready, willing and able to work through you.

Have the acknowledgement and faith in knowing there is a power within

There is overwhelming evidence that this power does exist. The basic teaching of religion is that there is an infinite power in the universe. This power is accessible to all of us if we believe though faith. Since the power in the universe is everywhere, this presence is in and through us. This presence manifests itself in and through all forms, all people and all conditions.

"Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

Devote each day to get yourself into a regular routine of thinking Control Thoughts. You have to practice an attitude of patience. With patience, all Control Thoughts will be mastered. Faith and belief make you a believer.

The Universal Law of Mind translates our desires into reality.

This law is the reflection of your own thoughts. Awareness of this possibility provides you with a powerful tool when the human condition yearns to reach a high level, throwing off the pain and loneliness of separation and experiencing unity with others. In meditation, you connect with the One Power and in doing so, you are all mentally connected.
