The Subtle Role Play Of Thoughts And Images (Part 1)
The human soul is a subtle (non-physical) stage on which a subtle role play of thoughts
and images constantly takes place throughout the day and even while sleeping.
We have explained in our older messages how thoughts are of 4 main different types
- positive which are based on virtues, necessary related to day-to-day
activities, waste which are mainly unnecessary and related to the past and
future and negative which are related to vices and other weaknesses. In the
same way, we also constantly create images or scenes, which are of the same 4 types,
which is why we commonly use the term ‘the eye of the mind’. The mind not only thinks
or speaks subtly but visualizes or sees subtly too, almost all the time.
These two processes function, sometimes independent of each other as well as sometimes
dependent on each other i.e. influencing each other e.g. think of peace and that
leads to visualizations related to the same. Visualize an unpleasant scene of anger
and hatred, and your thoughts are led in that direction. Sometimes these two processes
function at the same time and sometimes one at a time. Sometimes neither functions
at all, which happens much more frequently while sleeping as compared to when we
are awake. This subtle, physically invisible role play is the foundation of the physical
role play of words and actions that is visible to the self and everyone else around
you.

Message for the day 20-12-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
The one who is powerful shows the practical proof of success instead of just talking
about it.
Expression: It is usually very easy for us to talk about how to do things
best, it is as much easy to tell others and give directions. But the one who is
powerful is not just satisfied with mere words or proving to others about his success.
He is more concerned more about being successful.
Experience: We need to check if we are applying in our life what we are talking
about. We need to see to it that whatever we speak about, we must put into practice.
Only then will we find improvement and progress in our life. Then there will be
no more the need to talk about our success but our life will reveal how successful
we are. We will then be an inspiration to many.
