Someone brought up the point somthing like how those starving kids in Africa could just think more positively about getting food... and that would probably not be a success.  It might even be dangerous to hold such an idea that thinking positively would work? I find it interesting that thinking positive could be dangerous for ya.  

 

There is balance in everything... or not.  A very small percentage of the world's people are wealthy.  The majority are not.  If it were the other way around, there would be no reason why anyone would have to do without.  Although, probably no one would be labeled as wealthy.

 

Technology was adding to the leisure class for awhile.  Well... everyone had more spare time or time for other activities.  As technology marching onward and upward, people were supposed to be leading better lives.  That was the vision but that is not that way it is happening though.  Technology is replacing jobs and people.  In some cases, rightfully so.  Now a very dangerous job can be performed by an instrument or a robot.  In other cases, it is simply replacing people as a cost cutting measure.  How many times do we have to navigate the complex message systems of large corporations?  Try that when you are deaf and using a closed caption telephone.  People are being replaced in the employment markets.  Jobs now vary vastly from what they will be in just ten years.

 

Dattatreya Siva Baba teaches his version of THE SECRET in the hopes of bettering mankind.  It is his view that the statistics of wealth and poorness should be the other way around.  And people do live in downtrodden areas where there is a great deal of grief, sadness and even violence.  It is hard not to carry the negative mantra of the society, culture or neighborhood you are in.  It has been done though.

 

You can think consciously and positively every single second of every hour about bettering yourself.  Then you find out the kicker.  It may suddenly occur to you to find out what percentage of the brain is involved in conscious thought?  According to most experts, that percentage is pretty low.  I have seen the figure to be as low as 2 percent or as high as 10 percent.

 

 

 

Now you realize you have to deal with the energy body or that mysterious pool of something else:   The UNCONSCIOUS or the PRECONSCIOUS!  Holy cow burgers Fat Man!

That is why you have to get ahold of some other thoughs or images, memories streaming at different levels.  You have to smush those giant spiders of negative mantras cracking in through those cracks in between your thoughts.  Those include thoughts that you may have buried so deeply they are driving.  Repeating that the little conscious thought may not so easily add its flavor to that personal energy pool.
