What is the spiritual response for negative thoughts?.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
“I was wondering if you could shed light on speaking words or having thoughts of a negative nature that either just bubble up in thoughts or are spoken in anger/rage.
After viewing some public rages, I have become acutely aware of this whole vocabulary in my head that bubbles to the surface in thoughts…that are not the most wonderful thoughts.
Are these programmed belief systems from life…that we as adults fight internally, as we realize them to be false and wrong thinking?
And when these thoughts come to the surface, do we just acknowledge the thought and let it go, or do we affirm the wrong thinking and counter it with a positive thought about the person or thing?”
Response:
This kind of effusion of negative thoughts in the mind for someone who is on a spiritual path is generally indicative of a purification of the old mental tracks.
As such, the less attention given to it the better.
Certainly, at a minimum, you should resist the impulse to give voice to this mental toxicity.
Even overanalyzing these thoughts can have the effect of reinforcing them and giving them more importance than they warrant.
Think of it like letting the smoke from a burned pot go out an open window.
It’s enough that the smoke is leaving and the air will be fresher, it’s not necessary to analyze the smoke as it goes.
Love,
Deepak
