What Are Thought Vibrations?
The word atmosphere has two meanings. One refers to the physical air around us and
the other to the more subtle effect that thought vibrations create in a particular
space. No one can deny that the atmosphere of a crowded restaurant is different
from that of a temple. This is mainly because of the effect of different types of
thoughts and feelings in that space. Even someone deaf and blind would have the
ability to pick up the difference. Sound vibrations are invisible but their impact
isn't. A pneumatic drill or a jet breaking the sound barrier jolt both our minds
(non-physical effect) and the walls of our houses (physical effect). Thought vibrations
can't be seen but their non-physical as well as physical impact is even more powerful
and influential. The panic that people generate during a stampede or an
earthquake and the euphoria (absolute joy) of victory in a World Cup final cricket
game are examples of how thoughts create an atmosphere.
On a subtler level, many of us have the experience of basic telepathy - ' I was
just thinking of you and you called'. Thoughts connect individuals over large distances.
Doctors inform us that over 90% of the physical body's illnesses have a psychosomatic
(mental) origin i.e. they are a direct or indirect result of our state of mind.
That makes the human body the prime example of how thoughts affect matter.
Since the world is made up of the collective, personal worlds of all individuals,
then it's easy to see how the international political, economic and social atmosphere
is nothing more than the collective effects of all our thoughts.

Message for the day 24-10-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
The way to get blessings is to be open to learning.
Expression: We do get both negative and positive situations in our life.
When we are faced with negative situations we usually expect blessings from God
or someone great by which the negativity in our life will fully finish. But it doesn't
usually happen so.
Experience: The method to receive blessings is to go on learning from the
experiences of life. To learn means never to repeat mistakes by learning from whatever
has happened. This learning acts as a lift for us, which takes us forward.
