The balancing of thought is critical in the course of development - the rise to consciousness. Most teachings advance the need to be in control of what you think, as much as what you do - both being elements of free will. Putting this to practice does not mean that as a human, one is perfected in thought, but that serious will-motivated attempts are made through free will to balance the ones that arise. By paying conscious attention to the way one thinks and what one thinks, a person begins to see personal patterns of thought arise that seek balance and close attention. In this orderly universe there are no accidents nor coincidences.
All actions are exteriorizations of thought, whether balanced or imbalanced.
A creation exists within and throughout many dimensions. So, in accordance with the Law of Thought - what we think and how we balance our thoughts creates our destiny. Our reality of it is measured, produced, and tempered by free will and thought. And, of course, thought is produced by our emotional, spiritual, and physical experiences. The growth of conscious awareness of the multidimensional mind is a personal responsibility and when we understand ourselves as part of that whole, only then can the agent of free will become a deciding factor in how to alter our course.
