If the *quality of my thoughts *can influence my physical health, the
atmosphere around me and my relationships, it will definitely *affect my
relationship with God*. Unlike physics in which dissimilar forces (positive
and negative) attract each other, the basic principle of spirituality is
that similar forces attract each other. *If my mind is caught up in cycles
of negativity, the dissimilarity between me and God will create distance
between me and Him.* With the awareness of being a soul, a being of
spiritual energy, spiritual light, I begin to have a certain amount of
mastery over my own thoughts and their quality. Also, the process of
finishing negativity is accelerated. Just stepping away from the limited
consciousness of the body and bodily connections (not leaving them) stops
negative thinking in the same way as by just putting a switch on, a light is
turned on and darkness finishes.
If explorers had never ventured beyond their home countries, they would have
remained firm in the belief that the rest of the world simply didn't exist.
In the same way, *if I allow myself to stay only within the physical and
limited sphere of thinking, then I would declare that there is nothing
beyond. *It is when I make the effort to go outside the boundaries of my
previous thinking, that I have the chance of discovering more. The quest for
a source of love, truth and beauty – the Supreme eventually brings me to the
necessity of looking beyond not only my own body, but also other human
beings and matter itself. *Through the practice of seeing the self as an
eternal soul and disciplining my mind I create the possibility of
discovering the existence and nature of God and having a deep relationship
with that One.*
