The [wise people
of ancient civilizations] knew and
understood the power of the mind.
People can only be as good as their
thoughts, as successful as mental
patterns, as progressive as their ideas.
[Most] did not rely on books, relative
theories or postulative quotations.
They listened to their own thoughts,
prayed for divine guidance, followed the
intuitive urging. Education,
money, fame and notoriety were
considered as useful as dirty dishwater
without a clear, firm, focused mind.
Their process was simple. They
developed a strong faith and connection
to the [powers of all that is of
Nature]. A healthy love and
respect for their ancestors and parents.
A commitment and dedication to the
[healthy] traditions of their family.
And a trusting relationship to the
spirit of their own head. Trust
your head and your first thought
regardless of what others may say.
Your head takes you to the places you
want to go.
