Description

Negative things part 2
Right, negative things we want to ignore from now on (as far as it is somehow possible).
If something negative comes on TV again, then change the channel until something "positive" comes on.
If something negative is being talked about again, then don't participate in that conversation, but try to steer the topic to something positive, simply because your mood is contagious, because the "positive" topic spreads pleasant vibrations, because enough is enough with "bad" conversations.
If you find yourself thinking something negative again, change your thoughts at the exact moment you notice the "negative".
If there is too much drinking in the group again, take out the negative component by saying something like "I've had enough, I'll have a water now" out loud.
If your children fall into a negative pattern, take the time to turn the tide, you just need to do it and it will happen.
Negative things can be deprived of energy, drowned out by positive vibrations, directed in a different direction, you can play with it, try yourself out in energy work, work consciously on yourself (and thus also on your environment) again and again.
According to Buddha there is no "good" and no "bad", because this would presuppose a valuation. But we do notice the vibrations that negative things bring with them. And these are unpleasant, whether for awakened exalted ones, or for "feel-good Buddhists".
So we should help other people down from their dark and negative trips by an exemplary life, so that for us and our complete environment the being there is pleasant, we let our Buddha-nature also penetrate to the outside.
Roughly speaking, there are two ways to deal with "negative" things: First, to stay away from it, and second, to let the negative elements get to you. Decide for yourself which you prefer. I stopped listening to the news a long time ago, I stopped reading the newspapers, things are just not pleasant. I understand that many people are completely frightened by it, withdraw, in the worst case even get a mental disorder from it.
I for my part would like to have (if it is in my power) only positive vibrations around me, for that I stand up, there I am ready to work on it, also to put effort and time into the topic. According to Buddha, everything is illusory anyway, so why not set it up for me the way I find it comfortable?
Here it is especially true: The way is the goal!
Through a higher mental power I enter this destiny and stay in it.
