Or maybe it's something like- where the mind goes, the man follows? We become what we think...?
Thanks :-)

a competent useful dose of disturbing stimulants might show the 'function' of ideas. people who would desire to hold secrets and techniques do not take possibilities with beverages in the enterprise of people who shouldn't hear those secrets and techniques. Even that 'Bhaang' (hindi call for a intoxicant), induces translation into action, the comparable tendency that a individual holds on the time of ingesting. human beings snicker non-provide up, or cry-non provide up, etc... experts have stated that communique is 60 p.c. physique language and be conscious incredibly plenty 20 p.c. or so.. The ideas impression the physique language, inspite of efforts to cover it. .. That historic proverb is beneficial purely whilst there are actually not any self-negating doubt-elevating ideas accompanying it.

Try Proverbs 15:21
"Foolishness is a rejoicing to one who is in want of heart, but the man of discernment is one who goes straight ahead."
Don't you agree that using ONLY the heart (and not also the mind) is foolish?
Hope this helps.

I don't know the answer of where it originates from, but I can tell you this is true. The reason the planet is in so much trouble is because of those who focus all of their beliefs and energy on the apocolypse. They are manifesting that with their thoughts. Wouldn't it be great if everyone woke up from all of the brainwashing and focused on healing and rebirth of God's amazing creation?!?
