“When I put a seed into the earth, it grows and gets bigger all the time; it forms a stem, leaves and buds; and then a blossom, which in turn holds many seeds. All this is there already in the seed; it is the thought of the flower which transforms itself into substance. And so is every living thing a thought of God, and remains such a thought even when the substance in its individual shapes falls into decay. The essence of thought alone is real in everything, and what it forms is only its changing expression. [...]
...that's why it is so important to have good and right thoughts. Each person creates his own spiritual surroundings. With many people these don't look at all pretty, and the dark forces that are related to these images hang onto them. But a good thought not only protects you yourself and helps your being to grow into the light. It is, at the same time, a power which reaches out farther. Through every thought of goodness, a wicked person becomes better, a wild animal less savage, and a poisonous plant less dangerous.”
