We are what we Think. Positive thoughts bring peace and happiness into our lives, whilst negative thoughts harm us and create disharmony and discord in our immediate environment! Let us begin the discussion by defining - What are thoughts? We will follow this by discussing the impact of positive and negative thinking on ourselves and the environment around us.

Quoted text:
"Thoughts are Electro-Biomagnetic waves perpetually arising in the mind. Thoughts are produced by the bioelectricity generated in the powerhouse of the inner self.(If you rub your hands together than the warmth generated is because of the presence of bio electricity in the body). In the event of death, on the departure of the soul from the body, the individual ceases to think.
A thought is not merely a word given to signify an abstraction, concept or feeling. Thoughts have dimensions with specific properties detectable by instruments. (One such example of this kind of instrument is the polygraph- the lie detector, which detects and presents graphics of thoughts in different states of mind).
At each moment, wave fronts of thoughts are being propelled from the minds of people into outer space. Like radio waves it is possible to transmit and receive these thoughts (e.g. by way of telepathy). The dimensions of thoughts floating in the space can be known and interpreted by yogis through extrasensory perception.
The currents of these thought waves have wavelengths and frequencies like those produced in waves of water. However there is a difference in their magnitude and process of propagation. The waves produced in a pond of water on earth fan and die out at the periphery of the pond due to the resistance of the earth. On the other hand, the thought waves which are perennially in propagation in the infinitude of space (Aakash) are never lost." Thoughts do not die. For that reason when someone says something to hurt us, that hurt remains with us for a long time.
"Each thought has its own specific characteristic, and instead of being amalgamated into an undifferentiated ‘mass’; the thought retains forever its independent identity and existence. Within this structure, similar thoughts or ideas tend to be attracted from far and wide in space and form intense clusters of thoughts. The phenomenon is like water vapor evaporating from different reservoirs collecting to form clouds. (For e.g. the atmosphere in a jail, a courtroom, hospitals, a place of worship, a rock concert are all different).
When a thought arises, its frequency in the mind of the thinker interacts with those of the “masses of similar thoughts” (collective Ideospheres) in the space. The individual thought (the small magnet of the Ideosphere of an individual) enters the field of the large magnet (the mass of Ideospheres). In this way, through extra sensory perception (commonly understood as intuition), one comes to know many new aspects of a subject being deliberated upon. The information comes from pre existence in the collective mass of the Ideosphere of knowledge; i.e. ideas, thoughts and experiences of people, who had studied, pondered over and elaborated upon the subject in the past.
While thinking about activities of philanthropy and welfare, one has a feeling of great peace and contentment. This satisfaction is derived from the collective experience of people who had performed similar deeds in the past; similarly one can experience pain and tension in places where collectively people congregate for treatment of a terminal disease, burial of a loved one etc." (For example one experiences peace, calm and happiness at places of worship, whereas one can experience a feeling of tension and sorrow near an abattoir, a cancer hospital or a burial ground/ cemetery).
"Many great holy persons perform ardent ascetic exercises in seclusion, for creating an ambience for the welfare of mankind. While such holy persons are not seen actively engaged in any welfare activity, nevertheless the high frequency of virtuous thoughts transmitted by them in the course of deep meditation helps energize the masses towards virtuous activity, by constructing a relevant Ideosphere in the atmosphere. This generation of an Ideosphere spurs the masses into a single direction to an extent not feasible by collective physical endeavor of a million people.
For ages, many sages in India have been practicing devout asceticism in the solitude of caves and mountains of India. It would be fallacious to assume that they are doing so for personal benefit or for entry into heaven after death. As a matter of fact, these great men strive to make the bioelectric fields (Ideospheres) of their spiritual thoughts sufficiently strong to enable thought waves being telecast by them to be easily received by the minds of the common man." It is like planting a strong cell phone tower or a TV tower in different cities and areas so that strong telecommunication signals are received by everyone living in that area.
Mahatma Gandhi was aware of the power of generating an ideology by creation of a relevant Ideosphere. He often said that the great revolution for India’s Independence did not require a large number of people. The objective could be achieved by a few leaders having sufficient inner strength and conviction (atma tej) to generate a movement/an Ideosphere of “non violence” and resistance and propagate this idea amongst the masses. We all know the outcome of that movement.
Today there are revolutions being fought in almost every country of the world. Concentration of wealth and corporatization of natural resources is leading to an uneven economic system where thousands are unemployed and displaced from the workforce globally. In the developing world millions go to sleep hungry and without shelter at night. Revolutions started on Facebook and the World Wide Web are taking the globe by storm. The scale and universality of the problems leading to this social unrest are unprecedented. There is an Ideosphere that has been generated to bring about change of the current social and economic system and that will lead in the future to a more balanced and just world. This is the result of the ‘Thought Revolution’ started in the Ideosphere of the world by the Parliament of sages of the world, living in their astral format in the deep recesses of the Himalayas.
"One benefits by thinking good and suffers from the negative consequences generated by bad thoughts. Persons habituated into feelings of jealousy, anger and destructive thinking tap into an Ideosphere of negative thinking and invite ill will and misery upon themselves. The power of positive thinking and thinking good thoughts cannot be emphasized enough. An evil or negative thought always produces an adverse reaction in the other person. It also contributes to the pollution of the universal thought bank.
It would be a remarkable service to mankind if we all collectively thought about the welfare of all people in the world and endeavored to spread this thought."
