By understanding the principle of mentalism, we can strive to create a more positive and loving reality for ourselves and the lives of others with whom we come into contact with.
Our thoughts affect our emotions which in turn, color our actions. These negative emotions associated with the survival of our species would present themselves in a number of ways which may include a sense of hopelessness, futility, and apathy towards our fellow brothers and sisters. A pessimist, for example, would have very harsh feelings concerning the future of our species as war, corruption, pollution, and many other big problems are so glaringly present in the world at large.

How can it be that the ancients knew so much with such limited technology? The answers to these questions may lie within the ancient philosophical tradition of their times, Hermeticism. Have you ever stopped to marvel at the jaw-dropping knowledge and wisdom of the ancients?
