Mysticism and Mental Healing

[Luna Arjuna]

"Brothers" by Margarita Sikorskaia

Little by little, we become chronic grievers; we become chronically suspicious; we become continuous critics; until finally we live in a world in which everything looks terrible, everyone appears to be a criminal, everything is done wrong. We lose all natural orderly reaction to the occurrences of daily existence, and gradually devour our own lives with a psychic acidosis.

We have to be careful, therefore, that these negative habits do not take over.

It is up to each person to realize that the greater part of his life must be a quiet, optimistic, believing, inspiring pattern of existence; that for the most part, he must love life; he must love people; he must have faith in people, even though he cannot prove or demonstrate this faith at any given time. He must realize that the tendency toward hyper-criticism, while it might possibly save him from some small incident is too expensive for him; he simply cannot afford it. It is better for him to lose most of what he has, than to spend his life fearing that loss. He can perhaps regain his fortune, but he will not regain the lost health that he has sacrificed to a negative attitude.
