Surely, I get your point. In oder to get truly positive thoughts for me it was first necessary to release all negative thought patterns by practising mental Silence. Without this mental Silence I surely would have had positive thoughts here and then, but the negative thoughts patterns would have remained in place as well, causing an inner disbalance. So what I am saying is that for me mental Silence devoid of thoughts was THE key to release negative thought patterns, because only in mental Silence I was able to re-establish my Heart-connection, and from here induce positivity. Our every thought depends on our own Heart-connection. But I say all this without any sense of being more right than others. We all have personal experiences which are equally valid with nobody being more true or less ;)

Perfect 🙂. About thoughts and mental silence, there is a great book by Eckhart Tolle titled The Power Of Now, it reveals alot about how to deal with thoughts.

Legend man! I listened to the audio book of the power of now, after I had read A New Earth, that one is also great to learn about the ego, emotional aspects of ego and mindpatterns
