10th Grace: The Grace of Emotions
The Gift of Right Thought

Biblical Inspiration: 10th Commandment,
Thou Shalt Not Covet They Neighbor’s House

Gratitude Statement

I am grateful for the Grace of Emotions (Gift of Right Thought), knowing that our thoughts, positive or negative, have the power to influence our reality and our destiny.

Inspirational Message

Of all Ten Graces, this one is the most important to master. This Grace tells us to manage our thoughts. And there are three very good reasons why this is vital to your Spiritual Growth.

First, all of your Speech and Behavior begin with your thoughts. You cannot generate Right Speech or practice Right Behavior if you do not first have Right Thoughts.

Second, as already noted, Thoughts either derive from the Mind or from the Soul.  When they derive from the Mind, they pass through several imperfect processes including Observation, Reasoning, and Rationalization. Mindful Speech can be discerned by its negative and counter-productive messages.

The Soul, however, yields Thoughts that come directly from God and are therefore always positive and productive. If you want to maintain Spiritual Equilibrium, then balance your Thoughts.

Third, the Law of Attraction is real. It is as binding and predictable and reliable as any other Absolute Law of Nature. The Law of Attraction states that our Thoughts beget our reality. What we think, positive or negative, sends corresponding vibrations out into the Universe and returns energies of like vibration. If you broadcast positive vibes, you draw positivity into your life. This is an immutable constant which you can think of this way: ‘the love you take is equal to the love you make.’

Know this! Our Thoughts are the most fundamental form of expression. It’s where we talk to ourselves. We do this all day long. Even in our sleep! Listen to your Thoughts. Manage them well. Your Spiritual Growth depends on it.

10th Grace Belief Statements

Right Thoughts Beget Right Conduct: I believe that all Right Conduct begins with
Right Thoughts. Therefore, Wrong Thoughts can never lead to Right Conduct.

To Spiritual Heart: I believe that all Right Thoughts flow to one’s Spiritual Heart from one’s Soul.
Soul Harbors Only Positive Thoughts: I believe the Soul harbors only positive
thoughts which, if allowed to predominantly influence the Heart, will result in Right Conduct.

Mind Produces Wrong Thoughts: I believe that all Wrong Thoughts flow to one’s
Spiritual Heart from one’s Mind.

Negative Thoughts Beget Wrong Conduct: I believe that the Mind harbors negative
thoughts which, if allowed to predominantly influence the Heart, will result in
Wrong Conduct..

Thoughts Create Destiny: I believe that our Thoughts send forth instructions to the Universe which, compliant with Absolute Law, will always conspire to fulfill the Intention behind the Thought. Therefore, our Thoughts create our destiny.
Positive Thoughts Blessed in Everly: I believe that Positive Thoughts will be blessed
in Everly with eternal rewards. This is because Positive Thoughts are all anchored in the Ten Graces, with Right Principles and Right Conduct.

Negative Thoughts are Transactional: I believe that Negative Thoughts may seem
beneficial in TempTerra, but any rewards will be temporary and short-lived. The chief characteristic of Negative Thoughts is that they are transactional as conceived by a quid pro quo mentality.
