As one thinks, so one is

This is a world of thought indeed! So is the earth plane, you will say, from which I have just graduated. Only there, thought is slower in action because all vibration and hence all results or effects, are slower and one has a facade, a person with which to mask thought.

Here one seems to be naked. There is no mask even for thought, one’s inmost thought, and sometimes I shudder at the realisation that our fellows here can read us, as we can read books illustrating character and thought and action on earth. Here, one’s thoughts return to one like boomerangs, potent and immediate in their effects. As a thought, negative or positive, comes into mind, it is crystallised into immediate action. In the human mind, a negative thought can creep in and insinuate itself between all one’s good intentions, lying apparently dormant. Then it becomes a nucleus attracting to itself thoughts of similar content until it takes on a semblance of force through emotion; later the results, physical, material or spiritual, are manifested.

But in this new life, the potency of thought is stepped up into a frequency which permits of no side-stepping. The effects are immediate. Here the thought-pattern is determinate of one’s welfare, one’s progress, one’s happiness and joy. As one thinks, so one is – in environment, appearance and in company!

We have to learn to live in this new frequency; to guard the doors of One’s mind; to anticipate the boomerang action of negative emotions.

This is the way of life on these planes and every soul must assimilate the Way before proceeding onwards into planes of even higher frequencies. This is light and darkness as we know it; the day and night of the soul.
