positive thinking may be a poisoned apple...
U have a point there b. The difficulty is that it takes darkness to have lite in this dimension. This whole screen we are witnessing requires lite and shadow to have existence. Without evil there would not be goodness. So if we are to accept the views of those who have presumably found enlightenment we must transcend our 'good' and 'positive' thoughts as well. The logical consequence of this view is that prayer alone is not enough since it usually entails requests for life to get better or for things to be positive. This too is ultimately a dead end. We can have our physical reality working smoothly and still not be happy or find fulfillment. This state of bliss that we seek is beyond all thought and desire to have this reality work according to our cherished views and will. Concentrating on the screen of this creation being played out only delays our enlightenment. We have a call to look back at the beam that is projecting darkness and lite on the screen of creation. i have to remind this 'MY' self of this since creation and this world constantly draws us into its show.
