Let's talk about "The Strangest Secret" by Earl Nightingale

[Schmoove]

I listen to this every once in a while. Very interesting stuff.

" We live in a fathomless sea of plastic mind substance. This substance is ever alive and active. It is sensitive to the highest degree. It takes form according to the mental demand. Thought forms the mold or matrix from which the substance expresses."

i study this subject extensively, some of it is very new agey and some very eastern inspired but the more i get into it the more it makes sense.

Other books iv read that are about this subject

Think And Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill
Master Key System - Charles F Haanel (which it sounds like the man in your video borrowed alot from)

That book was an eye opener, it was like all the occult books I ever read but with the unnecessary mystical decoration stripped from it.

Crazy I've been meaning to do a comparison with it and the Kybalion it reminded me of it in some places.

I believe the author attempted to write it with a more scientific approach then your usual occult texts, some people will still dismiss its writings though.

Evidence for this connection between motivation and optimism or pessimism was found in a new study by Abigail Hazlett and colleagues (Hazlett et al., 2011), published in Social Cognition.

In two initial studies optimists were found to have a ‘promotion focus’. In other words they preferred to think about how they could advance and grow. Pessimists, meanwhile, were more preoccupied with security and safety.

This suggested a connection with motivation, but we need a true experiment for stronger evidence. So, in their third study they had participants trying to solve anagrams. However they were split into two groups. While doing the anagrams half were encouraged to think optimistic thoughts and half pessimistic thoughts.

The researchers also measured participants’ natural tendencies towards either optimism or pessimism. This meant that some people would be using their preferred strategy and others would be forced to think against the grain.

What the results showed was that pessimists performed better when thinking in negative ways. At the same time optimists were more engaged with their task when they were thinking positive thoughts.

It also turned out that people’s performance depended on how persistent they were at trying to crack the anagrams. It seems that when the optimists were using their preferred positive thinking strategy, they were more persistent. And the same went for the pessimists, who were most successful when thinking negative thoughts.


Different strokes

What’s emerging, from studies like this, is that both optimism and pessimism have important roles to play in people’s lives.

Being optimistic allows people to pursue their goals in a positive way: to dream a bigger and better dream, which they can work their way towards. Optimists also seem to respond better to positive feedback, and part of being optimistic may be generating this feedback for themselves, i.e. thinking positive thoughts.

On the other hand being pessimistic may help people reduce their natural anxiety and to perform better. Also, pessimists seem to respond better to negative feedback. They like to hear what the problems were, so they can correct them. Again, part of why pessimists generate these sorts of negative thoughts is that it helps them perform better.

So it’s different strokes for different folks. Optimism and pessimism aren’t just accidents; this evidence suggests they are two different, but effective, strategies of coping with a complex and unpredictable world.

The message of the video isn't necessarily "BE OPTIMISTIC", its more in relation to the mind state one must possess to achieve what ever their personal success is.

I believe the author attempted to write it with a more scientific approach then your usual occult texts, some people will still dismiss its writings though.

It came off as if it was written with the layman in mind I instantly recognized some of the concepts that I had come across elsewhere.

I cant stand most occult books most writers love to get overly elaborate with the text.

Reading the Tree Of Life - Regardie has this semi rant about the way some occult writers express themselves in their written works, sounding really important but you were none the wiser once you put the book down some of those guys deliberately spoke in circles, shyt is unnecessary, he took a more than a few swipes at Theosophy.

Speaking of theosophy.....

If you ever have a chance check out a lecture by Jiddu Krishnamurti - How The Mind Can Transform, you might find it interesting.

love the kybalion.
