S4E9: Happy Thoughts Are Healthy Thoughts

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of You Are Your Name, Don and Sharolie Maxwell share an article by Ivon Shearing exploring the profound relationship between happiness, health, and the quality of our thoughts. Building upon Alfred J. Parker's well-known statement, "Happy thoughts are healthy thoughts," the discussion explains how every thought influences the body and contributes either to physical well-being or physical tension.

Using the analogy of a violin resonating with each note played, the presenters describe how the body responds to every thought, emotion, and attitude. Constructive thoughts such as kindness, generosity, optimism, and understanding create harmony within the physical instrument, while negative thoughts such as fear, jealousy, criticism, resentment, and depression create discord and tension. The episode emphasizes that happiness is not dependent upon external circumstances but arises from a balanced, constructive state of mind.

Listeners are encouraged to cultivate gratitude, maintain a positive outlook, and consciously choose uplifting thoughts. The episode teaches that true happiness is found in living according to universal principles, serving others, appreciating the beauty of life, and developing a mind that consistently expresses constructive, healthy thinking.

Transcript

Daken: Welcome to You Are Your Name. In this season, we're been discussing how five important topics relate to the mathematics of our names. These topics are purpose, happiness, relationships, mental balance, and attainment of mental freedom, and our happy long-term relationships with others. 

In this episode, we will share some thoughts on the quote, "Happy thoughts are healthy thoughts." This is a saying of Mr. Alfred J. Parker, the Founder of the Kabalarian Philosophy. Our presenters are Don and Sharolie Maxwell, who are both long-term Kabalarian students. They will be presenting a short article written by Mr. Ivon Shearing, who has taught the principles of the Kabalarian Philosophy for over sixty years.

Sharolie: Happy Thoughts are Healthy Thoughts

Don: The founder, Alfred J. Parker, told us that happy thoughts are healthy thoughts, and within this thought is a vast message. Most people do not appreciate that every thought affects one's body. 

Every note that a violinist plays creates a resonating sound within the violin. We hear short, long, low, or high frequencies. The physical body is like a violin and the mind is like the notes resonating through the body. Every cell reacts to an angry thought. Every part of the body is affected by a depressing, moody thought. If one is tense, jealous, or fearful, every quality of thought affects the quality of vibration of every cell from the tip of the toes to the top of the head because every cell vibrates. 

Sharolie: If you speak with your hand on your chest, you can feel the vibration of your voice. The vibration goes through your body. Also, singing causes a resonance throughout the body stirring and stimulating the cellular structure. But it is nothing like the influence of thought stimulating the body. 

Every thought should be constructive. The slightest slip from the constructive level is a personal injury to the body because the body will reflect every discordant vibration allowed through the brain cells. Every discordant thought will register and be an influence within the physical instrument. Relaxing may rebuild and offset the damage, but why create the damage in the first place? Why not learn to think constructively and happily at all times and let the body benefit from this consistent influence of constructive, mental energy?

Don: Happy thoughts are a product of a balanced, happy mind. How does one establish and maintain happy thoughts? It comes back to one's attitude, the half-full versus the half-empty idea. The optimism, the confidence, the self-assurance versus the fears, the inner insecurities, the lack of confidence by not being sure of oneself and of the future. 

There are certain rules and regulations throughout life, just as in studying mathematics there are definite principles to follow in mathematical computations to get correct answers. In music, there are specific rules for establishing the harmonious relationship between the individual notes to create harmonious chords, rather than discordant sounds. Happy thoughts also follow a specific principle. 

Sharolie: Happy thoughts are constructive, not critical, not personal; they are beneficial and uplifting. Happy thoughts are building, adding to, and creating; whereas critical thoughts, negative thoughts, depressing thoughts are tearing down. It is like saying "Oh, how are you?" and after a person walks by, "Doesn't he look terrible? He's getting fatter than ever." 

Such critical comments tear the speaker down because one is letting that quality of thought go through the physical instrument. If one is critical, nasty, mean, sarcastic, or belittling, he or she suffers and must learn to think constructively. It is one thing to be aware, to keep one's eyes open and recognize truth for what it is. But it is wrong to become caught up in the expression of criticism.  

Don: Happiness comes from within. Remember that no one else can make you happy. If you are happy within yourself, you can help others to find happiness but you cannot make them happy if they do not want to be happy. 

Happiness is a beautiful, universal power finding expression through a fit instrument being expressed on higher constructive mental levels. Constructive thoughts, generous thoughts, kind, compassionate, understanding, loving thoughts are all expressions of the beauty within. 

A person's face—the eyes, the contours, the lines in the face— shows whether that person has happy thoughts or unpleasant thoughts. A sourpuss usually means a sour disposition from sour thoughts. The mind is sour. Smile lines and bright, clear eyes show a happy person.  

Sharolie: What is there to be happy about? It is a privilege to be alive. It is an opportunity to conceive and be aware of the beauty of life itself. Certainly, there is a lot of discord and suffering, but there is also great beauty such as a beautiful sunrise and birds singing. So many things in life can make us feel harmonious with nature, harmonious with the life force. There is so much to be thankful for, just to be alive. 

True happiness is living the Principle, putting self aside and living for the benefit of the whole. In so doing, we have the most beautiful personal enjoyment, and we benefit most ourselves as we give back to the Principle of life. 

Happy thoughts.
