When you catch yourself thinking the bad thoughts, you use a 'thought attack.' You keep your pockets stuffed with these things, like grenades. You gotta be ready to whip one out and pull the pin. You gotta stay alert and sharp - vigilant. So the second the bad thoughts come atcha, you're ready to blow them to kingdom come with a swift, ruthless, deadly thought attack.
This is what you have been learning. Cunning defense against the bad chemicals, the bad thoughts, the lies, the evil ways. Vengeance. It's not easy, this training of the mind against the mind. But if you lose this battle, my friend, God help you. You will never escape your mind. Everywhere you go, there you will be. The velcro will overtake the teflon... the negative will stick to you, will accumulate in saggy layers in the sticky bog of your defeated brain. It will pile up until there is no clarity, no joy, and no hope.
This is why you must practice the thought attack. Practice and practice and practice ridding your mind of the daily poisons. Joy does not come in a hand basket! It will never be delivered to your door! It may visit, but it will not live in a mind that is overgrown with prickly weeds. It needs fresh-tilled soil. It needs space. So get out there, Warrior, and sweep the world with your determination and your light-heartedness.
