You probably already know that your eating habits (methane from the meat you eat) and your car (carbon dioxide from exhaust) as well as other habits (like throwing away recyclable goods) affect the planet. You also know that  conserving water (taking shorter showers) and electricity (turning off those lights) help too. But did you know that, above all of those, there is one action that can pollute the atmosphere and drain the planet of resources in a worse way?

Negative thoughts are the worst toxic pollutant on the face of the planet.

If science now knows that there is no such thing as a solid, just an incredibly slow moving element (much slower than our eye can capture) and what we call “matter” is just energy at various degrees of density, then we can conclude that everything inside and around us is energy.  And by the Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy, we know that energy can neither be created or destroyed – it can only be transformed – than we know that everything, good and bad, positive and negative, stays right here in our environment.  Nothing “goes away”. There is no such thing as “away”. There is just life, interacting, forever.

So it goes with your thoughts.  The same way you generate trash and toxins, so you generate trash and toxins when you create negative thoughts. These negative thoughts exit your brain in the form of electromagnetic energy that will not be destroyed, it will either be changed or will go on to add to a pile of energy just like it (like attracts like, just as if you’re a negative person and you surround yourself with negative people.) That bad thought (envy?) you had about your co-worker when he got his promotion, the time your brother embarrassed you in front of everyone and you thought “I could kill you right now!”, the other day when that bank teller fumbled through your transaction at a snail pace while you were on a very short lunch break and you told yourself what an idiot she was – all of those guys are going out and over to the collective unconscious, a sort of vibratory library of mankind’s thoughts, feelings and experiences, all of which form a cover around the planet, like a dome of energy of all kinds.

Do you really think that this energy has no effect on its creator and the rest of the people inside that dome?  Just like the slow and devastating degradation of the Amazonian rain forest, the so-called “lungs of the planet”, have an effect on the quality of air that you and I breathe right here in the United States thousands of miles away, the heat we feel during the increasingly changing seasons, the food we get to grow and eat as a result, so does this cloud of energy that surrounds our planet.  It has a direct effect, on our moods, our thoughts, our behavior.

Everything is energy. From a rock to a human, a food or a spirit, in different degrees it all comes from one source.  It is the intangible that animates the tangible.  Our physical bodies are the vehicle that hosts our true Self (intangible).  It is our anti-material body (mind/thoughts) that animate our dense physical bodies. So, it is our mind that experiences, creates and recreates this physical experience we call life. Our lives and our health are a reflection of what our mind/thought pattern creates daily. It is our minds and thought patterns that make choices, based on our limited or vast knowledge and understanding. Some people have more negative thoughts and create more negative experiences and environments (external as well as internal). Some people are aware of this and are conscious and in control of their thoughts and reinstate their birthright as co-creators of realities.

Our thoughts create our lives, and the world around us. We must take responsibility and be conscious of this from here on. If our lives are created and affected by our thoughts, so is the planet. The planet is an organic, living cell (a bigger body) that depends on us, just like we depend on it, for survival. We are interdependent, just like us and the cells in our bodies, which depend on us to feed them healthy food and have positive thoughts in order to give us a healthy life. We need  to care for our planet the same way we need to care for our bodies.  As the Law of Correspondence says “As above, so below; as below so above.” (The Kybalion). This means that things that happen on a smaller level can also happen on a large level.  As cells have consciousness and our thoughts and actions can affect their state of well-being, we can also affect the well-being of the planet.

So, in the spirit of Earth Week, we at HLife are asking you to please take responsibility for your thoughts and be conscious of their effect on your health, your life and your planet.  Don’t pollute us with negative thoughts when you can create beautiful, positive, health-inducing thoughts that are good for you and everyone, including Mother Earth. Celebrate this Earth Day on Thursday, April 22nd, by being aware of what you think and how you feel, and catch yourself if you’re habitually engaging in negative thought-patterns.  You can change this. Take a deep breath and think of the exact opposite – if you feel fear and want to lash out, think of love/reassurance/security and express a kind word.  Don’t worry about what others do.  They’re just mirrors to your own innermost subconscious thoughts and feelings anyway.  Be yourself – the best version you can be.  For all of us.
