There have been a couple of notable threads recently regarding 'vibrations' and 'positive thought'.
Positive thought has power over only one person - you. If it motivates you to act - then it is good, if it motivates you to chase butterflies - or
fiddle while Rome burns - then perhaps madness is a better description.
The following article neatly encapsulates my thoughts on the matter;
Manufactured optimism has become a method to make the poor feel guilty for their poverty, the ill for their lack of health and the victims of
corporate layoffs for their inability to find worthwhile jobs. Megachurches preach the “gospel of prosperity,” exhorting poor people to visualize
financial success. Corporations have abandoned rational decision-making in favor of charismatic leadership.
This mania for looking on the bright side has given us the present financial collapse; optimistic business leaders -- assisted by rosy-eyed
policymakers -- made very bad decisions.

If you want to have a compliant populace, what could be better than to say that everyone has to think positively and accept that anything that goes
wrong in their lives is their own fault because they haven’t had a positive enough attitude?
...
(Re:Obama) - He talks a lot about hope. And as a citizen I’d rather not hear about “hope,” I’d rather hear about “plans.”
...
What could be more irresponsible than to say, “If we just think it’s going to be alright, it’s going to be alright.”

Keep smiling - everything is going to be ok - think happy thoughts.
Anger and anxiety are emotions that have a purpose - they stimulate people to DO SOMETHING.
Sitting on your butt and thinking positive is good only for those who are doing the looting, controlling and killing.
People without a back bone, who act like a herd of Hindu cows are just what the NWO ordered.
If you want to live a happy, healthy and fulfilled life - then be informed, act when it is necessary - failure to act because you don't want to upset
anyone, or you are scared of violence is no excuse.
So many people like to say 'violence doesn't fix anything' - then they support some war of aggression that kills millions in a foreign country.
What they really mean is - I am too scared to act - I don't want to admit this is happening - I am afraid.
There is nothing wrong with fear - except giving in to it, and freezing like a rabbit in the headlights. Conquer your fear - lift up your heads and
act like the descendants of the heroes who died for our freedoms - not with mindless optimism, but deep, rationally grounded determination.
