'''Right Thought''' is thought that supports full and healthy [[Development]] and [[Connection]] of the [[Physical Unit]]. When the physical unit has been damaged by [[Toxic Socialization]], right thought is that supports and enables [[Healing]] and re[[Connection]]. Right thought is thought that supports the [[Water Glass Metaphor|expansion of consciousness]] into the [[Physical Unit|physical unit]]. Right thought is thought that encourages [[Right Orientation]], and that is in perfect alignment with one's own [[Resident Monadic Self]].

==Notes==

Right Thought is one of the [[Three Rs of Alignment]], (the others being [[Right Environment]] and [[Right Action]]) that, when taken together, provide the foundations of [[Healing]] and [[Connection]]. Taken together, right thought, action, and environment constitute the LPs [[Alignment Rule Set]]

Right thought is established by replacing [[Old Energy]] ideas and archetypes with [[New Energy]] ideas and archetypes.

On the Lightning Path, right thought is the equivalent of the [[Jainism]]'s ''samyak darshan'' (right perception) + ''samyak jnana'' (right knowledge). On the Lightning Path, right thought is a combination of right perception and right knowledge.

The Zoroastrian Gathas open with statements about "good thought", good words, and good deeds. "I praise good thoughts, good words, and good deeds and those that are to be thought, spoken, and done. I do accept all good thoughts, good words, and good deeds. I do renounce all evil thoughts, evil words, and evil deeds. " GBd Introduction, 4

GBD 11. 17 "I celebrate my praises for good thoughts, good words, and good deeds for my thoughts, my speeches, and (my) actions. With chanting praises I present all good thoughts, good words, and good deeds, and with rejection, I repudiate all evil thoughts, and words, and deeds"

Good thoughts are "useful thoughts and wise thoughts and great thoughts and wholesome thoughts and kindly thoughts and virtuous thoughts and good thoughts." Bad thoughts are " idle thoughts and foolish thoughts and mean thoughts and malicious thoughts and cruel thoughts and vicious thoughts and evil thoughts."<ref>Dhalla, Maneckji Nusservanji. History of Zoroastrianism. New York: Oxford University Press, 1938.</ref>

A Zoroastrian avowal of faith indicates the significance of "well-thought thought," "well-spoken word," and "well-performed act." <ref>Boyce, Mary. A History of Zoroastrianism: Volume One The Early Period. New York: E. J. Brill, 1996. p. 254.</ref>

Emanuel Swedenborg speaks about right thought in the context of his discussion of [[Inner Self]] and [[Outer Self]] in New Jerusalem, though he does not give it a name, and his discussion is vague and confused (Swedenborg, 2016: 3: 42-).

==Notes===

St. Avila notes that achieving discipline and alignment is a necessary step on the way to Union with God. "Yet, although the soul which reaches the Third Mansions may still fall back, it has attained a high standard of virtue. Controlled by discipline and penance and disposed to performing acts of charity toward others, it has acquired prudence and discretion and orders its life well." <ref>St. Teresa of Avila. Interior Castle. Kindle. New York: Dover Publications, 2007.p. 5 https://amzn.to/2GpC7NG.</ref>

In Islam, charity is basically taxation of the rich.

"Every religion in the world has preached charity and the giving of alms, but it is only in Islamic Sufism that it has been made obligatory and binding upon all those who accept the Muslim faith. Here we have a brotherhood into which the rich man cannot enter unless and until he is willing to give part of his posessions for the support of the poorer members of the brotherhood. Everyone who possesses property above a certain limit is reuired to set apart a stated portion thereof. The portions so set apart should be collected by the State of the Imam..."<ref>Ali Shah Ikbal, Islamic Sufism (Tractus Books, 2000). p. 71.</ref>
