As A Man Thinketh In His Heart So Is He ......So What?

Proverbs 23:7King James Version (KJV)
⁷ For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.




The miracle of the running stream.



“As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains.”
― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

“A strong man cannot help a weaker unless the weaker is willing to be helped, and even then the weak man must become strong of himself; he must, by his own efforts, develop the strength which he admires in another. None but himself can alter his condition.”
― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh    


There is more and more information available on neuroscience (brain science) and the mind body connection.  I have been a believer as I discovered the connection between psychology and the scriptures since I was in my early 20's.  Over the last 15 years my interest grew and I read as much of the information that comes my way as possible. I read James Allen's book back in 1986 or 1987, still have it.

There is also an explosion of self-help material mostly on being beautiful, thin and rich!  The amazing thing about an overwhelming majority of the material being put out there is that they are based of self-effort and self-centeredness, which is selfishness.  Even the material being put out by Christians or spiritually minded people the context and or process is still focused on self-effort, which is from the out-side in not from the inside-out, deep within the reservoir of consciousness.  End result, they sell a lot of books, magazines etc. and the majority of people end up with disappointment and frustration.

After listening to a series of teachings by +Creflo Dollar on self-centeredness and how this type of personality behaviour destroys relationships I later came across a piece written by +Deepak Chopra on brain health which I found quite interesting. That evening after as I retreated to bed and replayed my take-away from the series plus Deepak's research I had an epiphany:  Thought health equals brain health; brain health equals body health. As we think so are we - mentally, emotionally, spiritually psychologically and physically!  And, by the way, financially as well!

Just stop and meditate on this for a minute.  This is ground breaking information for the population at large but in particular for the Christian.  As the saying goes "belief kills and belief cures".  This is no longer just a proverb, or old wives tale.  Scripture backed up by scientific research - what more could we ask for?  All we need to do on an individual level is to "drill down" this message so that it is activated in our life then start observing the thoughts. 

I became conscious of observing my thought several years ago and I have gotten better and better at snipping unwanted, unwelcomed thoughts.  I also get to see what is at my core in the subconscious part of my mind.  This is how I can address "my ugliness" and become a better version of myself.  When I "clean house" I allow the spirit of Jesus Crist to work in me to full my purpose for which I came.

If you embark on this journey it will uplift, heal and transform you.  But not only you but all the people around you and this is remarkable.  This saying is true, if you want to change the world, change yourself!

Have a wondrous Wednesday,
