Elevate Ourselves
to the Positive Level

A German fellow initiate said to Master:
"Every day, I remember that I found this Method. I found You. It's
like a miracle. I'm so happy and I feel that everything around me has
transformed. My whole family is so loving now, and things that I never
thought could happen have come true. Everyone that my mother has ever
prayed for has gotten better. It's so fantastic!"
Master answered: "Good! Like
attracts like. Because you're better, everything better will come to
you. That's why people say to you, 'Think positively!' It's not because
you say, 'I think positive and I expect positive,' that the positive
things come. It's not. When you are able to think positively, that means
you are elevated to the positive level. You are higher already, so the
negative cannot touch you, cannot catch up with you. That's why you're
happy. And once you're in the positive level, you just attract the positive,
of course. If you are in America, you can't be in France; that's very
simple."
"Try
to climb to that level. Try all your best. Meditate more; read the holy
teachings, read positive books; read anything that reminds you of your
Higher Nature, of the contact with God. Then you'll be better, more
and more every day, and everything will turn out better for you. You'll
know without my doing anything, without you doing anything. Of course,
you pray sometimes to the Master Power for help, and if you need it,
of course It's always there, but if you raise yourself to a higher level,
you'll have it permanently and you can only come up all the time. The
Quan Yin Method is a way to bring you up there, but it's you who do
it, you who want it. You make the effort."
Pearls

Thoughts
are very important. When we think nobly, the whole universe admires,
loves and serves us; and waits for us to visit their place. When our
thoughts are not noble, not glorious and not as generous as the enlightened
ones, we become ordinary sentient beings. This is what is meant by:
"All is created by the mind!"
Sometimes
you may think that it is merely a thought, it is not very important.
No! It is very important. As human beings, our actions, speech and thoughts
are interrelated. If the atmosphere generated within us is not one of
purity and benign practice, or is dishonorable, it will be expressed
in our actions.
