Before we can even begin to contemplate a healthy mind, we need to consider the basic building blocks of the mind – our thoughts.

Thoughts are the essential components of our physical life and makes us different from the rest of creatures. The ability to think makes it possible for us to be human.

Thought is also the essence of our spiritual life. Understanding ourselves is a form of thought. To recognize our faults, to reach out for forgiveness, involves the most profound of thoughts. To become more aware of ourselves and realize the need to receive and give love, to delight in the radiance of Universal presence in some moment of prayer or meditation requires thinking. We cannot avoid thought and hope to become vibrant, vital spiritual or psychological beings. And that brings us to the intriguing topic of this Reading - How powerful is a thought ?

In physical terms a thought consumes the power of a few micro-milliwatts of energy. This amounts to just one or two thousands of a millionth of a watt. How little is this ? The clearest way to describe it is to say that it would take sixty billion simultaneous thoughts to light an ordinary reading light bulb. And you would have to think all these thoughts at one time and keep going to keep this page lit.

Clearly , there is a lot of physical energy flowing through your brain when you think . But what a lot of "other" power there is in one thought! A short burst of thoughts, however simple can change the world . Human history is full of examples.

Everything ever achieved, whether bad or good, began as thought. Adolf Hitler thought about creating a master race before he nearly destroyed a civilization. The hijackers of the planes that brought down the WTC in New York started with a thought..

Albert Einstein contemplated a few carefully orchestrated thoughts and came up with his theory of light. Beethoven thought a few musical thoughts and gave us wonderful music.

Dr Mahathir, Malaysia’s recently retired Prime Minister could articulate his thoughts like no one else in his day and mobilized the nation to think big.

Our VISION 2020, the TWIN TOWERS, the Mona Lisa, the Pyramids of Egypt, and the Great Wall of China – all these began as thought in someone’s mind. Even our very existence on God’s earth began as a thought.

Of course it is not thought that works the wonders. If an idea never gets beyond flitting about in someone’s head it can accomplish nothing. It is only when thoughts are combined with a burning Desire and Belief that power is released and we are motivated to act. Thoughts have influence because they control the center of power and possess the ability to boost or kill activity. Without thought there can be no purposeful human action, because action without meaningful thought is just idle behavior.

Thoughts are energy fields and they have the ability to create." Whatever the Mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve." said Napoleon Hill
