Only you can change your thoughts (Paramahansa Yogananda)

Would You like to comment on this tweet?

In honour of Ascension Day (symbol of the victory of the spiritual over the material, of God over the devil, of the eternal over the earthly evolution) I will comment on this.
Paramahanse Yogananda is a loving and great saint of the East.
His saying is a key to change.

The Catholics have an old saying: your first thought is from the devil, your second is yours.

So to say everything can come into your mind, and everything can give rise to it, a beautiful woman, a bad experience, a remark of a colleague, you name it, really everything. In fact your mind is just an antenna and you do not realize enough everything can come in. You are in touch with the whole world, an earthquake so the speak can lead to cold sweat on a sensitive person in Basingstoke-West.

But the point of this saying is. Are you going into this thought yes or no, are you grasping this thought, yes or no, are you getting attached to this thought, yes or no. And then the real issue will occur : then it is your thinking, then it will be part of your ego, then your will shall strengthen the process. And then the saying is in force. Your first thought is from the devil, your second is yours.
 
So the second and next thought is yours. That’s your responsibility, and there the whole process of own choices, willpower, self-will, free will, self-conceit and attachment gets its value. And in the spiritual world the free will of mankind is utterly cherished so this brings Us to:

"Since you alone are responsible for your thoughts, only you can change them"

So you for yourselves have to change your world of thoughts. No one else has the power to do it. One can try to influence you, manipulate you, inform you improperly, this all will be food for your thought, but at the end no one can call the shots of your thinking, and no one can really change your thinking, that’s up to you.

 Your choice for purity, for God, for your inner self, for your spiritual freedom, for your spiritual liberation, for your surrender to the eternal life, for your essential loving future in the spirit is all up to you.

And when I as “My God” of Frenkie are doing one thing to Frenkie it is this.
Showing him how he out of free will can choose for the Kingdom of God on earth. Showing him, that he for himself is asking for all the confrontations, corrections, suggestions, painful messages on his thinking, so that’s what I am giving him.

So now you all know for yourself you can choose for the Kingdom of God. Wonder then if this is what you want, really want, and then wonder what you are going to do about it? No one else can do it for you.
My blogs indeed have only one message. And here it is. To impress you on the promise of limitless happiness, endless possibilities and a pure and powerful inner life, but that’s only the case if you are wanting this. Otherwise We will wait a little bit more.

My blessing to you all
