"How To Develop Positive Thinking, Right and Wrong Thinking & Their Results..."

This work of excluding discordant thinking from the mind does not involve any attempt to proselyte or to interfere with others in any way.

It does not directly concern any one but the person who is engaged in the work for himself, and it certainly does not deal with any one else; neither ought another to interfere unless asked, because such interference would not only be an impertinence but a hindrance. Walt Whitman stated the case clearly and concisely when he wrote:--

" No one can acquire for another--not one. No one can grow for another -- not one."

This is true because one cannot either see, hear, or think for another, but each must do these things for himself.

Because one's thinking is entirely his own and cannot by any possibility be another's, whatever is involved in thinking with all its contingencies and consequences is necessarily one's own and depends exclusively upon one's own efforts; but the exclusion of discordant thoughts and the ushering in of harmonious ones is the business of thinking solely, and therefore it belongs to one's own self and cannot be delegated to another.

The actual cleansing of the temple must be one's own work.

Other things depend more or less on the action of some one else to hinder or to help, but a man's thoughts need not depend in the least upon what another does, or says, or thinks.

A man's mind is a domain where, unless he consents, no one but himself can enter, and he need not allow another to have the slightest control over it.
