負起責任，大步向前　（《和諧財富：吸引幸福與財富的秘密》p. 173~176)

每當我們發現狀況不對時，都有兩個選擇：我們可以選擇抱怨與責怪，也可以選擇改變。我已學到不要鞭打自己，因為那是一種非常低的振動狀態，而且如果我繼續關注那些錯誤，就會產生一個磁場，吸引來更多相同的狀況。所以，比較有生產力的方式是問：「我從中學到什麼？我要如何應用所學到的？如果再遇到同樣的狀況，我會怎麼做？」然後就繼續向前走。

這並不是說我不會因為做了傷害到其他人的事而道歉或者調整自己的行為，不過那只是為自己的行為負起責任的方法之一而已。雖然看起來很簡單，但是為自己的行為與獲致的結果負起全責，卻並非每個人都做得到。如果每個人都能做到，那這個世界就會有所不同──不只是在個人層次，而是在每個層次都會不同，包括政府在內。人們總是在責怪其他人或其他事物。如果世界上每個人都能實踐「為自己的行為負責」──都對自己造就的一切成果負起全責──那麼整個世界將完全轉化。

請記得，如果你認為你的人生問題存在於外在世界，那麼真正的問題其實就是你的這個想法，因為你把自己的力量交出去了。你一直說「都是我先生的錯，都是我太太的錯，都是我老闆的錯，都是環境的錯，都是薪水不夠的錯，都是政府的錯。」沒完沒了。「負起全責」這個心態並不是每個人都擁有的，大部分人通常會選擇比較簡單的那條路──當受害者的那條路。把過錯歸咎給自己以外的因素總是比較簡單的(至少短期來說)；但長期來看，把自己當受害者會讓自己失去力量，而且也會讓你無法在有形世界獲致理想的成果。要知道關注等同於愛。當你選擇扮演受害者時，你就在餵養這個受害者心態，而宇宙就會為你帶來更多可以當受害者的機會。

名作家偉恩．戴爾(Wayne Dyer)曾說：「如果我們遭遇的問題是其他人引起的，我們會願意花一大筆錢把他們送去看精神科。」有點蠢，不是嗎？另一個簡單的例子是，當你聽見某個人在抱怨另一個人時，你覺得他們在界定誰？另一個人嗎？我不這麼認為？

要負起全責會需要勇氣。要為那些發生在你周遭的事負起責任，會需要勇氣。現在，讓我們再把「負起全責」的層次提高一點點，讓我們談談如何對發生在自己人生中的每一件事負起責任。沒錯，你沒看錯──每一件事──即使那件事不是你的錯；因為你現在已經知道，人生真正重要的不是過錯，對吧？真正重要的是結果。當你願意負起全責時，總是會獲得最棒的成果，而唯有當你對人生中的每一件事負起全責時，你才有辦法負起改變任何事的責任。你對每一件事都有責任，但沒有哪一件事是你的過錯。

未完全解決的問題會耗盡你的能量

心懷怨恨是責怪他人的方式之一，同時也是一種強力的能量虛耗方式。想像一下自己跟某個人爭執而且沒有得到任何結論，你離開了現場，繼續想著那件事，然後問題就越變越大；這件事會耗掉你非常多能量。從科學角度來看，這叫做吸引力場，而質量越大，吸引力就越大。

爭執，就像一隻15磅重的啞鈴一樣。想像一下把這個啞鈴放在口袋裡去上班，你試著想當作它不存在，但是你辦不到。你經過走廊時，啞鈴撞到牆壁；你坐下來時，它撞到你的椅子；你站起身來，覺得它在拉扯你的裙子或褲子。只要這啞鈴繼續在你的口袋裡，你就沒辦法擺脫它。它會消耗你的能量，並綁架你的注意力。

在我們當中，有些人很需要把啞鈴從口袋裡拿出來，對吧？你會是其中之一嗎？如果你曾跟誰關係破裂，就算你認為你是對的，也跟他們道歉吧。為了你自己好，讓這個能量離開，並且原諒吧。很多人誤以為「原諒」是你送給另一個人的禮物，但事實上那是你送給自己的禮物，那是一種能不用再背負與燃燒那些能量的自由。不願意原諒，就好像自己在喝毒藥，卻期望另一個人因此而死掉一樣；所以，為了你自己好，盡力而為吧；因為原諒並不是讓別人脫離困境，而是讓你自己脫離你讓自己陷入的那個泥沼。

要「原諒」，只需要心智層面的簡單調整，只需要願意承諾放手讓過去的事離開。你可以由從那些事中找到祝福開始，真正的原諒，乃是有能力發自內心地說：「感謝你給我那段經歷。」如果你無法直接與那個人溝通，那麼就傳送祈禱振動給他，或寫一封永不寄出的原諒信給他。這個練習會讓你得到前所未有的自由。你說「太難了」？那就想像一下每個人都有上帝的親筆背書，說他們一直都在以他們當下知道的方式，盡了最大的努力；每個人都是「神聖之源」的獨特指紋──是以人身呈現的上帝。看看這樣做有沒有幫助。

犯錯乃人之常情，寬恕乃神之聖行

──亞歷山大．波普(Alexander Pope)

此外，如果你有罪惡感，也放手讓它走吧，因為罪惡感也是一種對於已經過去的事的情緒，你絕對無法對存在於現在或未來的東西感到罪惡感。逝者逝矣，你永遠都無法改變，所以就放下它吧。從中學習，把學習到的功課運用在人生中，然後就繼續前進。對於能有機會學到那功課懷抱感謝，讓它把你推向正確的方向，然後就忘了它；再多的話，就是任性了。我們當中有些人很需要丟掉那些會偷走我們的能量的事物，或者丟掉我們因過於情緒化而投注過多能量的事物。現在就丟掉那個啞鈴吧！

多重現實的理論在葛妮絲派特洛（Gwyneth Paltrow）主演的電影雙面情人(Sliding Doors)可找到例子。(《和諧財富：吸引幸福與財富的秘密　p.70)

在一個現實中，海倫，由葛妮絲派特洛所扮演的，在最後一刻趕上地鐵，遇見了一個叫詹姆士的男子，到達家中時卻發現她的男朋友背叛她、和前女友正躺在床上；她離開了背叛她的人和詹姆士在一起。

在另一個現實中，海倫錯過了地鐵、遇搶、被送進醫院，最後到家時男友的前女友早已離開，只剩男友傑瑞一個人正在淋浴，因此沒有發覺他的出軌，而維持了一段不快樂的關係。

在電影中，兩個現實一前一後的發展，一幕切換到另一幕。

我特別喜歡這個平行的宇宙理論是因為，我們沒有創造任何東西，是神創造的，是零點能量場創造的，而我們只是選擇進入這個場裡而已。

量子物理學中的每一個理論都有一個共通點：就是你，一個觀察者和一個參與者。用你清楚定義清楚的意念，及你不屈不撓、持續的注意力，你選擇了你將參與的世界。

明白了嗎？你的渴望得到適當的了解，它不是貪婪，根本稱不上；這是你的高我，呼喚、刺激、挑戰你提升到一個更高的成就層次。

　(出自James Ray詹姆士．雷《和諧財富－吸引幸福與財富的秘密》第169-171頁）

獨處的啟發：「愛自己」測驗 

以下這個簡單的測驗，可以幫助了解你是否與自己有良好的關係。

騰出一個小時的時間，獨自坐在客廳裡， 

不開電視、不聽音樂、不看雜誌、不讀書、不用電腦、不開手機、沒有寵物打擾、不喝酒、不吃東西、不作任何對話──排除任何會讓你分心的事物；另外，也不能睡著。

你能做到嗎？

「我會瘋掉。」我的朋友丹這樣回答我。

「那表示你不太喜歡你自己。」我這麼回他。從他垂下目光，嘴裡不知咕噥著什麼的舉動，我可以察覺出他有些不滿。「嘿，抱歉！」我繼續說「但是如果連你自己都不喜歡跟自己在一起，又怎麼能指望別人會喜歡跟你在一起？」

你喜歡跟你自己相處嗎？

找個隔離的空間，坐下來想一想下面這些問題：

l   我享受跟自己獨處的時間嗎？

l   我通常都跟哪些類型的人在一起？

l   在愛情、工作、生活等領域，我理想的伴侶關係是什麼樣子？

l   我享受與我關愛的人相處的時間嗎？他們也享受跟我相處的時間嗎？

l   我的性生活美滿嗎？我的性伴侶滿足嗎？

l   我能不帶絲毫的怨恨去解決衝突嗎？

l   回頭看自己過去的感情經驗，有沒有什麼一致的特徵或是傾向呢？

l   要吸引到我想要的愛情，我會需要改變自己的哪些部分呢？

l   我願意做出這些改變嗎？…我真的願意嗎？

只要問自己這些問題，就能對自己的現狀有些瞭解，也可以知道人生的混亂從何而來。忘掉覺得自己不夠好的想法，聚焦在可能需要多花時間、多注意的那些領域。我要你作的，是以崇高的角度來批判，所以別再審判自己，那樣做一點好處也沒有。你要做的是去觀察是哪些被你忽視的領域，導致你經驗那些不和諧的狀況，並且把它們當作是成長的媒介。比如說，如果獨處會讓你覺得害怕，可以問自己這些問題：

l   我知道內心最深處的想法、感受與價值嗎？我能清楚地描述出來嗎？

l   我對「我是誰」這個問題夠誠實嗎？我有花時間深思嗎？

l   我是否認為自己可以告訴別人真正的真相，而不是只說他們想聽的？

l   如果我固定撥出時間脫離日常生活的喧囂，會發生什麼事？

l   跟自己獨處是一件輕鬆自在還是令人沮喪的事？

l   我前一次給自己些個人空間，跟自己好好相處是在什麼時候？

l   我前一次為了自己是誰或者我完成的某個成就而慶祝，是在什麼時候？

l   如果我只是我所做的以及我所擁有的東西的話，那如果我什麼都不做、什麼都沒有時，我是誰？

排除外在的雜務與忙亂，多花些時間獨處、享受寧靜、以及做內在省察的工作。到能聽見自己都在想些什麼的地方去、到會讓你創造力十足的地方去，然後跟內在的導引力量連線。這就是愛自己，這就是照顧自己。

對自己許下承諾，與自己建立起更深入、更緊密、更多瞭解、更自覺的關係。只要你把這件事視為優先事項，能讓你邁向這個目標的獨特道路就會出現。請把這件事加入你的願望卡中，我保證你與他人的關係──不管是你的家庭、感情、事業、親情──都一定會讓你的人生更豐富。

另外，你也得要做出承諾，要堅定地相信自己。如果做不到，那你就永遠不會去採取可讓你的目標成真的那些必要行動，而你也將永遠無法成為你可以成為的。除非你異於常人，不然你一定有一些關於自己的限制性信念存在，這些信念通常是在年幼時被外界灌輸的；所以，你必須要願意做內在的功課(也就是我們透過各個章節所做的這些)，才能得到你要的成果。

「吸引力定律」的動力來自擴展自我以及愛自己。

愛自己 v.s. 自私

以自己為中心與自私有很大的差異。以自己為中心是把照顧好自己視為最優先、最重要的事，是去做對自己最好的事，是活出自己選擇的生命；這是很健康的。自私，則是你試著要逼我活出你選擇的生命，這就是不健康的。

我發現，只要我做出對自己最好的決定，那麼這些決定最後一定也能對我的各種關係產生最好的影響。這並不表示我不在乎或不關心其他人，差得遠了。我重視我的各種關係，我熱愛人群，而且我渴望能繼續再付出更多；然而，我領悟到要給予更多，我得要先變得更多更好，而這則要從誠實面對自己的需求，並且照顧好自己做起。人是沒辦法給出自己沒有的東西的。

真正的領導者都在設法激發人們的精神 (出自富爸爸商學院)

 他們的演講直指我們的靈魂…

「當他們變成我的朋友時，難道我不是在消滅我的敵人嗎?」--林肯

「實力強大就像做一名淑女。如果你不得不告訴別人自己是一名淑女，那麼，你實際上就不是這樣。」--柴契爾夫人

「最好的朋友就是引導出我最大優點的人。」--亨利福特

領導者不是去擊敗敵人或者競爭對手，而是鼓勵、引導別人尋找世界賦予自己的財務寶藏，而且不會傷害別人。

這句和《失落的致富經典》p.111講的是一樣的道理

「以競爭致富的人，會毀掉讓自己向上爬的樓梯，讓別人無法趕上他；

然而以創造的方式致富的人，則會開拓出一條能讓數千人跟隨的大道，同時也激勵他們照著做。」

如何藉吸引力法則之助，順著宇宙的流向實現你的任何願望？

之前和高中同學（小薰，現在在飛碟週末擔任廣播主持人）在玫瑰夫人喝下午茶時才聊到她現在的其中一項工作，所以安排了我們的「失落的世紀致富經典」一個時段來分享。

這一段是我和派克森在上節目前的小插曲，博君一笑…電台內容她們有馬上給我們一片，已轉成MP3，放在 ijigg上，

話說…

莫名其妙的，莉莉喬到一個可以上電台的機會

在莫名其妙的狀況下，我們真的去上了電台節目

（派克森與偽．經紀人 莉莉對話如下：

莉：可以上電台參加我同學的電台節目喔

派：是喔，哪時候？

莉：星期六晚上九點

派：是喔，節目名稱是啥？

莉：不知道ㄋㄟ

派：…..

派：…..那去上節目主題要講什麼？

莉：沒有主題，隨便講

派：…..

派：那電台那邊說我們去可以講什麼？

莉：不知道，反正我同學會帶啦，他們都不擔心你擔心什麼

派：）

在大家都莫名其妙的狀況下開始了電台節目

最後…我們莫名其妙的多了一個上電台的經驗

   我是經紀人啊，好的算我的，搞砸了算他的，呵，馬上就被fired掉了，我講的不多，後來都交給派克森去講啦~我們到電台時，主持人也還沒來啊，快9點 了…呵，真是一群Free style的人…妙的是，主持人問我們今天要講什麼~救命啊，還好有帶「秘密」、「失落的世紀致富經典」給她當場惡補…更經典的是，派克森先生因為過度刺 激，所以居然把球丟給我說，對啊，我們今天的主題是什麼?

我是經紀人耶…只好硬著頭皮講了一堆，還好這些是不用廣播出去的…我只在前面和後面打聲招呼，後中間講了一段我們和出版社的接觸經驗是如何運用到吸 引力法則的，派克森從「秘密」這本書講到我們的「失落的世紀致富經典」，小薰順便問到當初是如何想要翻譯這本書的，再來就提到更具體的24週財富金鑰系 統，最後就是開放給大家寫信到派克森的信箱，就免費送電子書…在7首歌中，我們的節目就到尾聲啦…看吧~一下子就過去了，就算兵來將擋，水來土淹嘛!!!

其他照片不在我這，因為我們的相機沒電啦!不過同學不是當假的，馬上就有相機照了好幾張…下次再po上來…

介紹一下我們這段裡面有播出的歌曲吧…

1. 張惠妹 如果你也聽說

2. 曹格 My way (分飾男低音及女高音，星光也幫忙唱紅)

3.安室奈美惠 Baby Don't cry

4.容祖兒  小小(MV還蠻特別的，小小的男主角)

5.Super Junior 幸福

6.周杰倫 不能說的秘密  呵呵，主持人還真的用「秘密」這兩個字來串場

7.黃韻玲 改變(星光幫的劉明峰也唱)

其實吸引力定律（The Law of Attration)包含了Law of Love, Law of Growth, and Law of Vibration.

Week 4 瞭解自我的本質 Reversing the Process

這張投影片的圖表示在「靜」中才能「定」，在「定」中才能思考…

Master Key System - Chapter 4

Enclosed herewith I hand you Part Four. This part will show you why what you think, or do, or feel, is an indication of what you are.

Thought is energy and energy is power, and it is because all the religions, sciences and philosophies with which the world has heretofore been familiar have been based upon the manifestation of this energy instead of the energy itself, that the world has been limited to effects, while causes have been ignored or misunderstood.

For this reason we have God and the Devil in religion, positive and negative in science, and good and bad in philosophy.

The Master Key reverses the process; it is interested only in cause, and the letters received from students tell a marvelous story; they indicate conclusively that students are finding the cause whereby they may secure for themselves health, harmony, abundance, and whatever else may be necessary for their welfare and happiness.

Life is expressive and it is our business to express ourselves harmoniously and constructively. Sorrow, misery, unhappiness, disease and poverty are not necessities and we are constantly eliminating them.

But this process of eliminating consists in rising above and beyond limitation of any kind. He who has strengthened and purified his thought need not concern himself about microbes(細菌), and he who has come into an understanding of the law of abundance will go at once to the source of supply.

It is thus that fate, fortune, and destiny will be controlled as readily as a captain controls his ship, or an engineer, his train.

PART FOUR

1. The "I" of you is not the physical body; that is simply an instrument which the "I" uses to carry out its purposes; the "I" cannot be the Mind, for the mind is simply another instrument which the "I" uses with which to think, reason, and plan.

2. The "I" must be something which controls and directs both the body and the mind; something which determines what they shall do and how they shall act. When you come into a realization of the true nature of this "I", you will enjoy a sense of power which you have never before known.

3. Your personality is made up of countless individual characteristics, peculiarities, habits, and traits of character; these are the result of your former method of thinking, but they have nothing to do with the real "I."

4. When you say "I think" the "I" tells the mind what it shall think; when you say "I go" the "I" tells the physical body where it shall go; the real nature of this "I" is spiritual, and is the source of the real power which comes to men and women when they come into a realization of their true nature.

5. The greatest and most marvelous power which this "I" has been given is the power to think, but few people know how to think constructively, or correctly, consequently they achieve only indifferent(平凡的) results. Most people allow their thoughts to dwell on selfish purposes, the inevitable result of an infantile(不成熟的) mind. When a mind becomes mature, it understands that the germ(病菌) of defeat is in every selfish thought.

6. The trained mind knows that every transaction must benefit every person who is in any way connected with the transaction, and any attempt to profit by the weakness, ignorance or necessity of another will inevitably operate to his disadvantage. (失落的世紀致富經典 The Science of Getting Rich也有同樣的概念，第6章，p.28頁，給予人們的實用價值永遠要多於你向他們索取的金錢價格。)

7. This is because the individual is a part of the Universal. A part cannot antagonize (與…為敵)any other part, but, on the contrary, the welfare of each part depends upon a recognition of the interest of the whole.

8. Those who recognize this principle have a great advantage in the affairs of life. They do not wear themselves out. They can eliminate vagrant(飄泊的) thoughts with facility(靈巧). They can readily concentrate to the highest possible degree on any subject. They do not waste time or money upon objects which can be of no possible benefit to them.

9. If you cannot do these things it is because you have thus far not made the necessary effort. Now is the time to make the effort. The result will be exactly in proportion to the effort expended. One of the strongest affirmations which you can use for the purpose of strengthening the will and realizing your power to accomplish, is, "I can be what I will to be."

10. Every time you repeat it realize who and what this "I" is; try to come into a thorough understanding of the true nature of the "I"; if you do, you will become invincible; that is, provided that your objects and purposes are constructive and are therefore in harmony with the creative principle of the Universe.

11. If you make use of this affirmation, use it continuously, night and morning, and as often during the day as you think of it, and continue to do so until it becomes a part of you; form the habit.

12. Unless you do this, you had better not start at all, because modern psychology tells us that when we start something and do not complete it, or make a resolution and do not keep it, we are forming the habit of failure; absolute, ignominious(可恥的) failure. If you do not intend to do a thing, do not start; if you do start, see it through even if the heavens fall; if you make up your mind to do something, do it; let nothing, no one, interfere; the "I" in you has determined, the thing is settled; the die is cast, there is no longer any argument.

14. But when you have learned to control yourself you will have found the "World Within" which controls the world without; you will have become irresistible; men and things will respond to your every wish without any apparent effort on your part.

15. This is not so strange or impossible as it may appear when you remember that the "World Within" is controlled by the "I" and that this "I" is a part or one with the Infinite "I" which is the Universal Energy or Spirit, usually called God.

16. This is not a mere statement or theory made for the purpose of confirming or establishing an idea, but it is a fact which has been accepted by the best religious thought as well as the best scientific thought. (科學和宗教都接受)

17. Herbert Spender said: "Amid all the mysteries by which we are surrounded, nothing is more certain than that we are ever in the presence of an Infinite and Eternal Energy from which all things proceed." 有一件事是絕對確定的，那就是我們都存在於一個無限且永恒的能量之中，而一切事物都運行於其中。

18. Lyman Abbott, in an address delivered before the Alumni of Bangor Theological Seminary(班哥神學院校友), said: "We are coming to think of God as dwelling in man rather than as operating on men from without."我們開始了解，上帝其實是住在人裡面，而不是在外面的某處操縱著一切。

19. Science goes a little way in its search and stops. Science finds the ever-present Eternal Energy, but Religion finds the Power behind this energy and locates it within man. But this is by no means a new discovery; the Bible says exactly the same thing, and the language is just as plain and convincing: "Know ye not that ye are the temple of the living God?" Here, then, is the secret of the wonderful creative power of the "World Within." 聖經哥林多前書3:16，豈不知你們是神的殿，神的靈住在你們裡頭嗎?

20. Here is the secret of power, of mastery. To overcome does not mean to go without things. Self-denial is not success. We cannot give unless we get; we cannot be helpful unless we are strong. The Infinite is not a bankrupt and we who are the representatives of Infinite power should not be bankrupts either, and if we wish to be of service to others we must have power and more power, but to get it we must give it; we must be of service. (這兩句怎麼解?本來想說是否有矛盾?不過得到答案了，就是我們要給才能得到，但是要給的東西是我們自己可以決定的。)

21. The more we give the more we shall get; we must become a channel whereby the Universal can express activity. The Universal is constantly seeking to express itself, to be of service, and it seeks the channel whereby it can find the greatest activity, where it can do the most good, where it can be of greatest service to mankind. (這裡<失落的世經致富經典>一書也有提及)

22. The Universal cannot express through you as long as you are busy with your plans, your own purposes; quiet the senses, seek inspiration, focus the mental activity on the within, dwell in the consciousness of your unity with Omnipotence. "Still water runs deep;" contemplate the multitudinous opportunities to which you have spiritual access by the Omnipresence of power.

23. Visualize the events, circumstances and conditions which these spiritual connections may assist in manifesting. Realize the fact that the essence and soul of all things is spiritual and that the spiritual is the real, because it is the life of all there is; when the spirit is gone, the life is gone; it is dead; it has ceased to exist.

24. These mental activities pertain to(屬於) the world within, to the world of cause; and conditions and circumstances which result are the effect. It is thus that you become a creator. This is important work, and the higher, loftier, grander and more noble ideals which you can conceive, the more important the work will become.

25. Over-work or over-play or over-bodily activity of any kind produces conditions of mental apathy(漠不關心) and stagnation(停滯) which makes it impossible to do the more important work which results in a realization of conscious power. We should, therefore, seek the Silence frequently. Power comes through repose(靜); it is in the Silence that we can be still, and when we are still, we can think, and thought is the "SECRET" of all attainment.

26. Thought is a mode of motion and is carried by the law of vibration the same as light or electricity. It is given vitality by the emotions through the law of love; it takes form and expression by the law of growth; it is a product of the spiritual "I", hence its Divine, spiritual, and creative nature.

27. From this it is evident that in order to express power, abundance or any other constructive purpose, the emotions must be called upon to give feeling to the thought so that it will take form. How may this purpose be accomplished? This is the vital point; how may we develop the faith, the courage, the feeling, which will result in accomplishment?

28. The reply is, by exercise; mental strength is secured in exactly the same way that physical strength is secured, by exercise. We think something, perhaps with difficulty the first time; we think the same thing again, and it becomes easier this time; we think it again and again; it then becomes a mental habit. We continue to think the same thing; finally it becomes automatic; we can no longer help thinking this thing; we are now positive of what we think; there is no longer any doubt about it. We are sure; we know.

29. Last week I asked you to relax, to let go physically. This week, I am going to ask you to let go mentally. If you practiced the exercise given you last week fifteen or twenty minutes a day in accordance with the instructions, you can no doubt relax physically; and anyone who cannot consciously do this quickly and completely is not a master of himself. He has not obtained freedom; he is still a slave to conditions. But I shall assume that you have mastered the exercise and are ready to take the next step, which is mental freedom.

30. This week, after taking your usual position, remove all tension by completely relaxing, then mentally let go of all adverse conditions, such as hatred, anger, worry, jealousy, envy, sorrow, trouble or disappointment of any kind.

31. You may say that you cannot "let go" of these things, but you can; you can do so by mentally determining to do so, by voluntary intention and persistence.

32. The reason that some cannot do this is because they allow themselves to be controlled by the emotions instead of by their intellect. But those who will be guided by the intellect will gain the victory. You will not succeed the first time you try, but practice makes perfect, in this as in everything else, and you must succeed in dismissing, eliminating and completely destroying these negative and destructive thoughts; because they are the seed which is constantly germinating into(使萌芽) discordant(不和諧的) conditions of every conceivable kind and description.
