A few days ago I finally got the chance to read a book that has been frequently mentioned I'd say 90% of the time in my emails. The invitation to download this book usually came from very successful online marketers. The invitation always said, Marsha please read "As A Man Thinketh"
Well I finally downloaded the book and read it without stopping because, I knew if I did stop I will probably never finish it. The truth of the matter is once I started reading "As A Man Thinketh", I could not stop even if I wanted to. The name of the author who wrote "As A Man Thinketh" is James Allen.
Obviously when James Allen wrote this book, he was referring to both genders, man and woman. Well, I say this because, the topic is really, or should I say, it is specifically about the mind and how we can use it for good or bad. In other words, the mind is an incredible tool, how we use it can determine who we are, and who we can become. Therefore, you will always be the product of the thoughts you use the mind to create.
You create thoughts, you act on the thoughts, and then you witness the results/the outcome of the thoughts, it is pretty straightforward, and it has nothing to do with luck, or chance. Well, I say this because, since mind is a constant, conscious state and we do have access to it to express the fact that we can exhibit our thinking abilities (a wonderful gift of life) Luck , or chance does not offer me the same stability, or a foundation on which I can stand securely.
Look at me going on and on, sometimes i can't even believe myself. I will like to share a little quote from the just to get you going in an inqusitive way I mean.
_"Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills:--
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but his looking-glass"._
Author: James Allen
Okay, this last part of my article demonstrates how inspired I am after reading "As A Man Thinketh"
Now I know that there are thousands of gods that people have worshipped from the beginning of time, even gods that people have used materials to mold and call their god. But after reading this book, I am assurred or, convinced that there is a true god and His name is Jah, for all gods have a name. He/Jah is the only one who claims that He is the creator of the universe. I believe that Jah is the first and only being to become MASTER of (the) mind. A soverign lord who has already demonstrated to the rest of US/ who He Himself created and said it is all good!
There isn't anything that He has created that He did not give life to. He must love all things that He has created just by that fact alone. AND, He must remain true to Himself and to us for only ONE reason and that is the power to be able to salvage, or keep things going according to His most high spirit of love that has the utmost ability to restore things when they go wrong. Why? for the simple fact that eternity is all about harmony.
In other words, the environment of the mind is the entire universe, the vast real estate for the purpose of just "being"
