It has been said that we attract what we broadcast, that our thoughts alone affect the world around us. If so, then we clearly need to be careful - thoughts lead to words and actions, words and actions lead to consequences - but thoughts alone also reinforce habitual patterns and thus also lead to consequences.
Our lives are lived largely by habit - we all have our daily routine that we have found by past experience and (limited) experiment to work (at least satisfactorily) for us. If we had to rethink our daily routine from scratch every day, we would never get past breakfast!
But how often do we experiment further with our routine to see if we could improve it some more, maybe in ways we couldn't have previously imagined? What if we ate fruit instead of flakes for example? Or used coconut oil in our coffee in place of pasteurised-homogenised-skimmed milk? Or skipped breakfast on Fridays? The possibilities are endless but the rewards in terms of health might be significant?
We stop experimenting because we accept "satisfactory" at face value without looking further. Our tramlines are built, and we follow them without a second thought. After all, fresh thinking is hard!
Yes, thoughts are habitual too. They become ingrained in our subconscious and allow us to save time.
But our subconscious can only repeat past thought patterns, it won't improve upon them. That requires our conscious thought. That requires an enquiring mindset that continually asks "what if?", especially when we confront new (or old!) problems.
How can I modify my habits to improve or remove this problem? We should be asking this on a regular (if not too frequent) basis.
There are two links below which purport to guide us in our quest to improve our current world. The first is a Stew Peters video which seeks to draw our attention to some salient factors currently influencing our world.
The second is a naked attempt to undermine our established religious faiths by spreading apparently false information.
View each in turn - then assess your reaction. Does your reaction tend to make your world-view a better or a worse place?
Just asking ... it's your viewpoint that counts.
