The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes, rather than their minds. (Douglas James)
If we are to have magical bodies, we must have magical minds. (Douglas James)
As you think so shall you be! Since you cannot physically experience another person, you can only experience them in your mind. Conclusion: All of the other people in your life are simply thoughts in your mind. Not physical beings to you, but thoughts. Your relationships are all in how you think about the other people of your life. Your experience of all those people is only in your mind. Your feelings about your lovers come from your thoughts. For example, they may in fact behave in ways that you find offensive. However, your relationship to them when they behave offensively is not determined by their behavior, it is determined only by how you choose to relate to that behavior. Their actions are theirs, you cannot own them, you cannot be them, you can only process them in your mind. (Douglas James)
The components of anxiety, stress, fear, and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world, even though we talk about them as if they do. (Douglas James)

The wavering mind is but a base possession. (Douglas James)
Each mind is pressed, and open every ear, to hear new tidings, though they no way joy us. (Douglas James)
A well cultivated mind is made up of all the minds of preceding ages; it is only the one single mind educated by all previous time. (Douglas James)
The conscious mind may be compared to a fountain playing in the sun and falling back into the great subterranean pool of subconscious from which it rises. (Douglas James)
The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water. (Douglas James)

Vain, very vain is my search to find; that happiness which only centers in the mind. (Douglas James)
The human head is bigger than the globe. It conceives itself as containing more. It can think and rethink itself and ourselves from any desired point outside the gravitational pull of the earth. It starts by writing one thing and later reads itself as something else. The human head is monstrous. (Douglas James)
The fundamental fact about the Greek was that he had to use his mind. The ancient priests had said, Thus far and no farther. We set the limits of thought. The Greek said, All things are to be examined and called into question. There are no limits set on thought. (Douglas James)

Weak minds sink under prosperity as well as adversity; but strong and deep ones have two high tides. (Douglas James)
