Stopping Thoughts - Negativity   As long as a human being is alive, it ’ s really hard for him to stop thinking. Especially, when negative thoughts come up, people fail to prevent or stop negative emotions. If you can ’ t control your negative energy, your thoughts will be your will and then your will becomes your judgment. Your judgment turns into action.

Human efforts for seeking enlightenment and seeing God through prayer and meditation is the really painful, patient process beyond our imagination. Many people are believing that the most ideal discipline is practicing and praying and meditating all day, sitting with a cross-legged position to reach in the state of “samadhi”. It is hard to find the people who are awakened through pray and spiritual practice even for 10, 20, 30 years or more years. Many people are still trying to get the mind of Heaven to help mankind, devoting themselves to spiritual disciplines up to even 40 to 50 years. Most people believe that “the Heaven does not
