Change is an inside job.

Somewhere along the line I stumbled upon the New Thought Movement of the later 1800s and early 1900s. The basic tenants of the movement are as follows.

[Although New Thought is neither monolithic nor doctrinaire, in general, modern-day adherents of New Thought share some core beliefs:
God or Infinite Intelligence is "supreme, universal, and everlasting";
divinity dwells within each person, that all people are spiritual beings;
"the highest spiritual principle [is] loving one another unconditionally... and teaching and healing one another"; and
"our mental states are carried forward into manifestation and become our experience in daily living"]---New Thought Wiki

There is one writer in particular that has resonated to the very core of my being. That man is Charles F. Haanel. He wrote this book: The Master Key System. I was introduced somehow to this book three years ago and it has taught me to rewire myself. I have been reading it and studying it weekly since I read it the first time.

My affinity for this book, along with observations of spectacular life changes, has led me to arrive to some conclusions in my own life:
1. For anything to ever be different, change in behaviors must be implemented.
2. I can program my own mind, rather than allowing each and every passing entity with an agenda to do it for me.
a. There are multitudes of ways we can hack our brains. We can use tested methods or get creative.
b. If I need to learn something, or if I want to implement a new ideology or habit; I can simply immerse myself into the topic thru study, meditation, discussion, and practical applications. In time, the lesson becomes embedded into my being. This can be applied ad infinitum.
3. Once I decide that something is going to happen...that seed has been planted in my subconscious mind. The universe within aligns itself to make that seed grow.

If anyone ever gets a chance to read the book The Master Key System, it will change your life in wondrous ways. It does not conflict with any religious or ideological beliefs; and it just lets one see their true potential. I hope you all get to experience your own wonders in life. I want you to make them happen.

Be well out there everyone.
Look out for one another.

Thank you for reference, I will look it up!
That kind of movements and theories help people
recognize forms of manipulation (traps) in the outside world.
And live a better life - for themselves.

There are so many levels of influence that we continually process and digest. There will be new and wondrous spectrums that one day we will see.

So I did some research... I like the definition of the New Thought Movement: the term “New Thought” signified that one’s thoughts could unlock secrets to living a better life, free from the constraints of religious doctrines or dogmas.
In Estonia, there was actually a doctor, who believed the New Thought Movements idea, that mind has the power to cure diseases. She wrote a book where you would find charts about diseases related to certain thoughts (stresses). Well, she died in a mysterious way, but still have many followers.
They also believe that mind has the power to create prosperity through positive thinking. Quote from Ralph Waldo Trine:"“If one holds themselves in the thought of poverty they will be poor, and the chances are that they will remain in poverty. If one holds themselves, whatever present conditions may be, continually in the thought of prosperity, they set into operation forces that will sooner or later bring them into prosperous conditions.”
In some metaphysical teachings, they go even further then that, claiming mind has the power to create separate entities, who can operate in the physical world - "shadow beings". There are similar practices found in our old, pagan religion. Creation of the "beings" (I would call them thought forms) who help people become wealthy.

Many of those similar ideals attracted me to new thought teachings as well. It has all the cool stuff of religions minus the outlandish aspects.

For true change, change in behaviors and in thinking patterns is a must.

Absolutely.
