Water and the Luxury of Negative Thought

Lana got me to thinking more about the reasons why, as she said, "we can no longer afford the luxury of negative thought."

I think that luxury implies something pleasant, and in a way negative thought can be pleasant to the thinker in that it can make her feel superior or more powerful, as in giving a "piece of our mind," but it's a toxic luxury, like junk food that tastes good but is harming your body.

As Lana said, the negative thoughts hurt the thinker more, but they can affect the intended recipient. The old adage that "sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me" isn't true unless the receiver is in a positive place. That's why it's so vital to be positive, grateful and loving as a thinker or receiver.

I used to wonder about people who were "supposedly" affected by voodoo and curses. We know about the placebo or belief effect, but those things sometimes seemed to work even if people didn't realize they were being hexed. I think it may be that recipients who weren't in a powerful, positive place could be affected by negative energies aimed at them. Positive thinking is the energy world’s apple a day.

I think Masaru Emoto's work showing how words, thoughts, and prayer affects the crystalline structure of water for beauty or ugly may be relevant here. You can view some here. After all, humans are mostly water, and our thoughts are affecting us and ponds and oceans. Meditating on his beautiful water crystals, easily available on the internet, is a wonderful way to raise vibration.

While looking for an illustration, I found the one above in Google images from The Arcadian Society. It was a mind meld website! The website understands the effects of thought in Emoto's terms and goes further, talking about experiments that have affected crime and how we can intentionally transform using our thoughts. It's a lovely place to visit!
