What Is Wrong with Projecting Positive Thoughts Toward
Others?
Answer: It
has been quite a fad for the last couple of years for people to employ mind
control on others to make them do what you want. But,
by what right do you have to secretly interfere in anyone’s environment, even
to that extent. If a person is ill and has a sincere desire to be cured, let him go to a practitioner of his choice, be
it a psychic healer, a metaphysician, or a regular doctor. It should be his
determination entirely. Your idea of what is positive may be entirely wrong
in light of an absolute judgment by the universe. It is much better to
communicate with a person on a conscious level if you desire him to acquire
what you believe are good positive attitudes rather than trying to take over
his thinking by projecting your thoughts into his head. If you project
thoughts for him to be happy then his happiness is your happiness instead of
his own. If he becomes happy because you were thinking him happy through mind
control, it is very likely that you are inducing in him these thoughts.
Actually, just because he “acts” happy does not mean he is any happier than
he has before you induced a false situation in his environment that really does
not exist. This happiness is not really him because
he did not initiate nor attain it. There is no way that any person, including
Christ, can induce advancement in another person no matter how much you would
like to. You can give him information, you can show him the right way, you
can explain to him the dangers of interference and so forth, but that person
must elevate himself. There is no laying on of hands
which can make a person better. You can hypnotize him or control his mind in
such a way that he does your bidding, but then you are the control and he is
much like a puppet. Now, some may say that there are varying
levels — from permissible to disastrous — of inducing thoughts for other
persons, but there really isn’t. Any kind of mind
control over others is sorcery. Any kind of control of another person’s mind
is dangerous for him and karmically wrong for the operator and it is really a
terrible invasion into the privacy and right of determination of another
individual even though you may like to think it is for his good. (12-1972) |
