"They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Isaiah 2:4. |

There are four types of thought
|
Negative thought |
anger, fear, sadness, regret, unease |
|
Wasteful thought |
about things that might not happen or that are beyond your control |
|
Necessary thought |
"I must not forget to pay the rent". "I must remember to milk the cow". |
|
Positive thought |
encourages peace, harmony, creativity, love and happiness |
| Most of the thoughts in most peoples’ minds most of
the time are of the first three types. This is because their senses
rush about like a badly raised child or an untrained horse.
The Devil finds thoughts (and emotions) to fill undisciplined minds. |

It is possible through prayer and meditation to discipline your mind. It is possible to be rid of negative and wasteful thoughts and to limit necessary thoughts to their appropriate time and place. A well disciplined mind is thus occupied by positive (Godly) thoughts. This is how the world can become a better place. |
"First keep peace within yourself, then you can also bring
peace to others."
|
"It is in the (undisciplined) minds of men that war is
created; it is thus in the (disciplined) minds of men that peace can
be won".
