"Thoughts are Public Property"
Excerpt from the article "Clarification of Thought"
(c) Alfred J. Parker

In one's thinking, one should always bear in mind that
what one thinks is public property; no one has the claim
to complete originality of thought. What concerns you
also concerns others; all problems are human
problems. Thus if you have the answer to a personal
problem, it concerns all human beings; it is the positive
of the negative and removes the problem, for no longer
is there a mystery. Think always in the spirit of "we";
this is universal thinking and breeds tolerance and
understanding. Remember, what makes you happy
will also make others happy. So, learn to share in
your thinking and actions. We are all our brother's
keeper, and evolve only as a family. When someone
makes a statement to you, make that personqualify the
statement and then you clarify it through analysis,
logic, and reason. If someone tells you something--
particularly if related to a person--whether in
criticism or otherwise, immediately ask yourself:
What could be the intent of the remark? Could it be
to hurt someone? If so, you are the first hurt because
it is intended to poison your mind against right and
justice.

Your mind is your life. Do not allow anyone to poison
or to distort it. When viewing or thinking a thought,
always clarify it for the value of its logic and reason;
divest it of imagination, mystery, and all falseness;
see the clear intent, whether constructive or
otherwise, and never compromise with illogicality; a
statement is, or is not. See it for what it really is, and
do not attempt to clothe it with personality; this is
what so often leads to jumping to conclusions and
self-pity.

There is no greater pleasure and privilege than the
ability for clear and balanced thinking. It puts
everything in its right place and perspective, and
eliminates fear and confused thinking.

Name Individualizes the Power

The degree of power called mind, depending upon its
balanced correlation through the name, affects every
part of the anatomy. If a person is balanced, the power
flows through in perfect rhythm or harmony; this
represents a healthy body and a balanced, happy,
intelligent, and constructive mind; otherwise, one has
the many forms or degrees of discord called sickness
and disease. Where there is much discord and
confusion, we have insanity in its many degrees.
Herein lies the key to changing the balance, nature,
and characteristics; bringing desires and emotions
under control, and thus curing insanity. This abstract
power called Universal Reason becomes manifest through
the human brain cells as it is brought into form through its
keyboard of life: mathematics, the alphabet, and name.
The name individualizes the power to produce a
personality.

Thus we see humanity motivated by divine abstract
forces--one's pattern of thinking and physical balance
being dependent upon the mathematical balance of the
symbols, the letters and name. The proper balance
of these forces creates harmony and balance in the
bloodstream, in the fluids such as the digestive juices
and other chemicals that play their part in proper
digestion, and in the activating of all the chemical
phenomena of the body. Science has studied only
the physical aspect; the scientist observes the
chemical formulae relative to each individual function
and notes that certain interferences throughout the
nervous system react through the bodily functions and
cause confusion in the mechanics of the body. Every
individual's body vibrates at its own individual
vibration, the atoms revolving around the nucleus:
mind.
