Mental conditioning is like learning a song. Once it’s been practiced sufficiently it’s easy to bring it to consciousness. Sometimes a song I don’t like plays in my mental jukebox, over and over, and I must select another song to take its place, and always the same: Luiz Bonfa’s “Manha de Carnival,” melodic, uplifting, calming. It’s the same with emotional or negative thought. When I am thinking, “I don’t like him,” I have to remember to switch to another song, maybe something like, “I am on the journey of life. How interesting everything is.” This is the way to peace and prosperity.
