May your thoughts be guided by higher wisdom.

"For I tell you truly there is no greater power in heaven and earth than the thoughts of the human.      Though unseen by the eyes of the body, each thought has mighty strength as can shape the heavens.  [No] other creature in the kingdom of the earthly mother is given the power of thought.  For all beasts that crawl and birds that fly live not of their own thinking but of the one law that governs all things.  Only to the sons of human is it given the power of thought - even that thought can break the bonds of death.  Do not think that because it cannot be seen that thought has no power.  I tell you truly, the lightning that cleaves the mighty Oak, or the quaking that opens cracks in the earth - these are as the play of children when compared with the power of the single thought.  Truly, every thought of darkness, whether it be of malice, anger, vengeance, hate - these reap destruction like fire sweeping through dry kindling under a windless sky.  But human does not see the carnage, nor do they hear the piteous cries of their victims.  For they are blind to the world of spirit.  But when the power is guided by higher wisdom, then the thoughts of human lead them to the heavenly kingdom and thus is paradise built on earth.  Then it is that your thoughts uplift the souls of humans, as the cold waters of a rushing stream revive your body in the summer heat."

...that's actually a quote or paraphrase from one of the DSS?  Any way of knowing which one?  Wherever it's from, it's on the money. People already have the tools they need. They just don't know they have 'em, let alone how to use 'em.
