Meditate, Positively

"He is told that the chair and the floor are holding him up and that there is no need for him to make any effort whatsoever.  He need not even keep perfectly quiet if it is difficult for him to do so.  If other ideas that those he is being given enter his mind, he is warned not to try to resist them but to let them come into his field of thought and then quietly pass out again."

"The negative thoughts must be stopped, but the subject must not be repressed or even dropped from consciousness until it has been pursued to its logical conclusion with as many positive thoughts as possible.

Negative thoughts given the chance, arise all too swiftly.  For emphasis I repeat: it is of supreme importance that positive thinking be employed whenever the subject comes up . . . . "

"If other ideas than those he is being given enter his mind, he is warned not to try to resist them but to let them come into his field of thought and then quietly pass out of it again."

Lots of good stuff here on meditation and psychological tricks and techniques so that your thinking won't be so . . . well . . . fucked up.  These passages are not from our founders and they are not from any religious or spiritual organization.  Just goes to show you that there is a lot of good stuff out there.  We have some of the answers for some of the people but that's about it.
