Thanks PH . . . Wonderful metaphor! . . . If you'll study the people around you, you'll see this simple truth in action everywhere you look!How one THINKS is what separates the extremely successful people from the failures. We cannot change our sex, age, or genetics . . . everything else is under OUR control. Rogene Power

Hi All, The is an excerpt from Simple Truths, a newletter attached to a video clip Rogene posted. It's all about the thoughts we plant in our heads. - Love, PH

Bernard Shaw said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them."

Well, it's pretty apparent, isn't it? And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about.

Now, it stands to reason that a person who is thinking about a concrete and worthwhile goal is going to reach it, because that's what he's thinking about. And we become what we think about.

Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn't know where he's going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety, fear and worry – his life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing...he becomes nothing.

How does it work? Why do we become what we think about? Well, I'll tell you how it works, as far as we know. To do this, I want to tell you about a situation that parallels the human mind.

Suppose a farmer has some land, and it's good, fertile land. The land gives the farmer a choice; he may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn't care. It's up to the farmer to make the decision.

We're comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn't care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn't care what you plant.

Now, let's say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand – one is a seed of corn, the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds – one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters and takes care of the land...and what will happen? Invariably, the land will return what was planted.

Remember, the land doesn't care. It will return poison in just as wonderful abundance as it will corn. So up come the two plants – one corn, one poison. The human mind is far more fertile, far more incredible and mysterious than the land, but it works the same way. It doesn't care what we plant...success. ..or failure. A concrete, worthwhile goal...or confusion, misunderstanding, fear, anxiety, and so on. But what we plant it must return to us.

You see, the human mind is the last great, unexplored continent on earth. It contains riches beyond our wildest dreams. It will return anything we want to plant.

Rogene, Lynda, I have just spoken to Dr. Blais because we see our family doctor today. We need someone to guide my doctor's hands to do my surgery. Dr. Blais suggested that he work with Dr. Feng or Dr. Kolb, and he feels that they could have a surgical conference. I have the tape where Dr. Feng is removing breast implants, and I will give this to my doctor. We hope that someone can help us soon, because the abscess has filled up again and is painful.

We love you always....Lea
