Thought is all important for "what we think we become." There was once a Sannyasin, a holy man, who sat under a tree and taught the people. He drank milk, and ate only fruit, and made endless 'Pranayamas,' and felt himself to be very holy. In the same village lived an evil woman. Every day the Sannyasin went and warned her that her wickedness would lead her to hell. The poor woman, unable to change her method of life which was her only means of livelihood, was still much moved by the terrible future depicted by the Sannyasin. She wept and prayed to the Lord, begging Him to forgive her because she could not help herself.
By and by both the holy man and the evil woman died. The angels came and bore her to heaven, while the demons claimed the soul of the Sannyasin. "Why is this!" he exclaimed, "have I not lived a most holy life, and preached holiness to everybody? Why should I be taken to hell while this wicked woman is taken to heaven?" "Because," answered the demons, "while she was forced to commit unholy acts, her mind was always fixed on the Lord and she sought deliverance, which has now come to her. But you, on the contrary, while you performed only holy acts, had your mind always fixed on the wickedness of others. You saw only of sin, and thought only of sin, so now you have to go to that place where only sin is." The moral of the story is obvious: The outer life avails little. The heart must be pure and the pure heart sees only good, never evil. We should never try to be guardians of mankind, or to stand on a pedestal as saints reforming sinners. Let us rather purify ourselves and the result must be that in so doing we shall help others.

Maybe "state of consciousness" is a better way to say it than "thoughts." You know how inadequate language can be when you try to communicate deep stuff. And this is a deep deep subject. And to further complicate matters, we are multi-dimensional beings, all at the same time -- part physical, part emotional, part causal and part mental. Then there's the Soul part. Wow;. We're complicated. And deep down in there, there's this part of us that is responsible for all the mess going on in our universe.
Every transaction we have with another is sexual in nature.
Only the level of intimacy changes.
Sometimes we have our clothes on.
And sometimes we don't.
To suggest otherwise,is in my opinion, naive.
Are you a Pleadian? I have read that they have a high state of sexual energy in their consciousness. I probably spelled it wrong. Spellchecker doesn't like the way I spelled it. I agree with you. That might mean I'm one too. Maybe half? A quarter?
In the future I will look at this with beauty.
OMG you've got me crying again.
Agreed.
People need all manner of healing.
And healers come in all shapes and sizes.
.........we are what we think, say and do , not only what we think.
