Poltinus refers to the importance of establishing proper thinking when he says "Our thought cannot grasp the One as long as any other image remains active in the soul." He further suggests that to grasp [[The One]] you must "set free your soul from all outward things and turn wholly within yourself, with no more leaning to what lies outside, and lay your mind bare of ideal forms, as before of the objects of sense, and forget even yourself, and so come within sight of that One." Personally, I disagree. For sure we should lay bare our mind of ideal forms (i.e. archetypes), but getting rid of them altogether doesn't make any sense. I would suggest, and I have, that if we are to grasp the One we must replace [[Old Energy Archetypes]] with [[New Energy Archetypes]] so we can have a clear and organized vision/understanding of that which we "grasp" at. I also don't agree with the old "turn wholly inward" thing. Unless you got slaves to tend to your needs, as Poltinus probably had, that's an unreasonable, and unnecessary, spiritual requirement. I also think that grasping what the One has to say is only a little thing, like when you realized, as a very small child, you had a nose on your face. Let it titillate you for a while, but get on with your own life's purpose, whatever that may be.

Notes

Right thought may be broken down into Right Knowledge and Right Priorities[1] Right knowledge is knowledge that supports health, healing, and reconnection of self and all other beings. Right Priorities are priorities that support the same.


Right thought is thought that supports healing and facilitates connection by

  • encouraging you to meet all your essential needs,
  • encouraging you to help others meet their essential needs,
  • encouraging alignment between your spiritual ego and bodily ego.

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

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

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."[2]

A Zoroastrian avowal of faith indicates the significance of "well-thought thought," "well-spoken word," and "well-performed act." [3]

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-).
