We can also neutralise with thoughts of love the malevolent thoughts that escape us <a href=\"#_ftn2\">[2]<\/a>.<br \/>\nWithout forgetting the key of prayer offered to all: &#8220;<em>If you want to change your thoughts, chant the OM.<\/em>&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"#_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> See post no. 17, &#8220;Leaving violence behind&#8221;.<br \/>\n<a href=\"#_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a> See post no. 5, &#8220;Easing relationships&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>*****<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Towards a Better World #27 Sunday 31 January 2021 New post CHOOSING ONE&#8217;S THOUGHTS Granting reality only to matter limits action to a world perceptible to the senses.
