How thoughts affect the state of being: I have made several posts on Twit about thoughts and their effect on your state of being. Everything starts with a thought; there’s no action without first thinking of what to do. Know your self-worth to prevent others from taking complete control of your ship.
Preface
Since we are on the topic of “Thoughts,” my name is Anne, and that’s who I am. My parents named me “Andrianna,” and I shortened it to “Anne” for Social Media. Someone attacked me because I refused to deny who I am; consequently, the person branded me a hater. How can someone be a hater for being who the individual is? Laughable.
I have always had a strong sense of self, and I have accomplished all that I had set out to do; therefore, there’s no need for me to be jealous of anyone. The Divine Beings within me have made everything possible, and I am 13 Thankful. Plus, I have helped many people out of the goodness of my heart.
I don’t force anyone to read my articles. It’s your choice whether you want to read them or not. You have FREE will, and you are an adult. No one should tell you what to do when you are the captain of your ship. Always seek guidance from the Divine Beings within you, not someone outside yourself. Now, let’s get on with the article.
Know the difference between your thoughts and someone else’s-Part 1
Your mind races in many directions, and thoughts come and go, but how do you know which thoughts are yours? You can figure out which thoughts are yours with daily practice. The trick is not to get distracted by things that don’t add to your spiritual growth. Occupy your mind with things that are relevant to your well-being.
Many things occupy your thoughts, but others can seep in while you work or do other things. Your mind wanders, and these are the moments when scattered thoughts slip into the midst. So, which thoughts are yours? You think of something and catch yourself saying, “What in the world?”
The thoughts make no sense and have no connection to what you were thinking, especially if the thoughts are harmful. You know who you are and what you are used to doing, so you can always tell when someone inserts thoughts there. People who want to take advantage of you can also send thoughts in your direction with emotions behind them.
Mind control comes into play when devious people are capable of doing this type of manipulation. These thoughts are more difficult to detect, but if you are in tune, you will figure these things out. Your intuition will alert you and send out a red flag. Often, people ignore the red flags, so whoever is controlling you gets away with it.
For example, you hang around a group of people, and someone is jealous of another person. I’ll use made-up names to make the illustration clear. Sarah is jealous of Mara, but Sarah doesn’t want anyone to know that she’s jealous of Mara. So, Sarah sends negative thoughts toward Alexa, telling Alexa to taunt Mara.
Know the difference between your thoughts and someone else’s-Part 2
Mara gets annoyed and attacks Alexa for taunting her. Sarah steps in and blasts Mara, telling Mara that she’s jealous of Alexa when Mara doesn’t have a jealous bone in her body. So, Sarah looks like the heroine by coming to Alexa’s defense, but the truth is that Sarah is jealous of Mara and is also a master manipulator.
Sarah got Alexa to do Sarah’s dirty work for her while appearing to come to Alexa’s rescue. Here’s the kicker, before Mara got annoyed and attacked Alexa, her intuition told her that it was a setup and not to respond to Alexa. The message doesn’t always have to be that clear cut; however, there’s always something that tells you not to take action.
The problem is that we ignore that voice, telling us not to do something, and that’s when all hell breaks loose. Once you know your behavioral pattern and try to listen from within, you can save yourself from many heartaches. Here’s an example of what Mara should have done had she listened to her intuition. Mara to Alexa, “Girl, yah tripping. What’s wrong with you?” Or, “Alexa, stop tripping.”
I’m sure you’ve heard many instances where someone says, “Girl, yah tripping.” That’s an example of listening to your intuition instead of going off on someone and cussing out the individual. Always listen from within to avoid getting into unnecessary conflicts.
Prominent people can influence your thoughts-Part 1
In the previous topic, I mentioned how someone could send emotions in your direction to affect your thought pattern. Someone famous can affect how you think, especially if you idolize the individual. Prominent figures can turn you against a group of people by telling you not to associate with those people if you want to remain in their presence.
You do what the person you idolize tells you to do out of fear because you want to continue associating with your idol. Imagine someone telling you to separate from your mother, the woman who raised you from a baby. I left the workforce early to take care of late my parents. Despite our spiritual beliefs, I loved my parents. When my late mom brought up specific topics, I kept the conversations short and changed the stories.
I used to braid my late mom’s hair, and that’s when I bonded with her. She told me stories of her childhood because I asked her specific questions. It was easier to let my mom do most of the talking, especially when it was a topic she loved. That’s how you get to avoid specific conversations. Always speak about things the other person loves without discussing your beliefs.
I took care of my late mom until the day she died. While mom was in the hospital, the on-call nurse called me early in the morning because mom’s condition had worsened. When my siblings and I got there, mom was in excruciating pain. I did not want the nurse to administer morphine because I knew that would have killed her.

Deep down, I thought mom was returning home with us, but my sister stepped in and explained when someone is that far gone, it’s best to give the individual pain meds to make the transition easier. I agreed to a much smaller dose of morphine and another drug per my sister’s request. Tears came to my eyes, but I mustered up all my strength not to cry because I wanted to remain strong around my siblings.
My siblings and I requested hospice care for mom. Her situation was dire, so we could not waste any time. The hospital immediately transferred mom to hospice care, and as soon as the ambulance got to the facility, the paramedics rushed us inside. Mom waited until my younger sister, and I came into the room. After we told mom that we loved her, she took her last breath. It was so hard to see her go. I’m tearing up right now.
When you love someone, separating yourself from the person isn’t easy, especially if you live under the person’s roof and the individual takes care of you. Here comes a famous person telling you to separate yourself because of your beliefs. Do you see the heartache and pain such a behavior causes?
My late parents’ church brothers and sisters delivered groceries to me even after my parents had passed away. Was I supposed to turn my back on people with good hearts? Some of them still call to check up on me despite me not calling them.
If you fear what someone else will say if you talk to a particular person, you have lost control of your ship, and someone else is steering it. When you are under mind control, the controller can harm you.
Prominent people can influence your thoughts-Part 3
It will help if you learn to think for yourselves. When you let someone hijack your thoughts, that’s dangerous and will affect your spiritual growth. Trust the Divine Beings within you to steer you in the right direction. What others think of you when you have a solid sense of self doesn’t matter. Who cares if someone doesn’t like you? The world doesn’t end because someone hates you.
Don’t let someone else’s terrible thoughts define who you are. That’s their karma and not yours. How you react to the individual’s negativity becomes your karma. Here’s a perfect example of how prominent people control your thoughts and state of being: [It’s not really about tricking people into doing what you want, Professor Tormala says. It’s more about understanding the factors that actually engage people or open them up to your idea and maybe get them to see something a little bit differently]. I took the quote from a Stanford University Business Article.
If you read the quote carefully, you’ll notice the emotional connotation. Once you get people to feel how you feel, you can then influence their behavior. Go on a limb and start questioning people telling you what to do.
Here are some questions to ask: How does doing this or that benefit me? Who reaps the reward from me doing this or that? Is someone telling me to do certain things for selfish reasons? What do the Divine Beings from within have to say? Did you say Palals before deciding and ask if that was the right course of action?
Prominent people can influence your thoughts-Part 4
Is someone controlling me? What does the controller want from me? What’s your most valuable asset as an individual? Your soul is GOLD. Always seek affirmations from higher beings by saying Palals. We live in a time where we need to question everything. The ultimate goal is to control your thoughts and, eventually, your soul by increasing your fear.
For example, “If you associate with so and so, I want nothing to do with you.” Are you going to heaven alone or going to hell with the company? Most famous people don’t care about you; however, they pretend to care for you until they get what they want.
It ends here and now, the mind control, the lies, and the torture. Let my people go and stop controlling them! FREE yourselves, my people. Take back control of your ship and stop letting someone torture you emotionally. You love the people in your life, but someone prevents you from being around them.
Get rid of the emotional turmoil and take back control of your ship. How will you avoid others if you live under their roof and they take care of you? My late dad used to quote Bible scriptures to me in favor of his thoughts, but I did not respond.
He had dementia, so I played gospel music, which he loved. There are so many ways to interact with others that are not on the same path as you. Do your best until you can care for yourself under a separate roof.
Are you being tested?
How do you know when someone is testing you? Remember, the Divine beings within you can use anyone at will to test you, even the devil. Yes, everyone serves a purpose. It would help if you have a strong sense of self and know when to connect with the Divine Beings from within yourself.
When you listen to your higher self and the Divine Beings from within, you don’t question whether something is right or wrong because your intuition will alert you when something is wrong. You’ll get that weird feeling in the pit of your stomach.
Conclusion
Your thoughts shape you as individuals, so be mindful of what you place there. Don’t let anyone take control of your being because you are the captain of your ship. Always say your Palals (prayers) if you are unsure of anything.
