The Smoking Truth, and living your life like a Prayer.

without comments

Have you  heard of The Secret, the law of attraction, the placebo or nocebo effect? All of those are based of the fact that you’re only subject to the thoughts you hold in mind. Think of every thought you’ve ever had, whether you would call it good or bad, as a prayer. For example, look at the placebo and nocebo effect. A doctor says that taking this pill will cure the disease, and the person takes the pill and they get better even though it was only a sugar pill (placebo). A family member tells a young child that allergies run in our family, and that child develops allergies shortly after (nocebo). That’s the power of belief for better or worse.

I remember as I smoked a cigarette one day after being exposed to anti-tobacco campaigners in high school, thinking that maybe if they raise the taxes high enough I could quit smoking, and now a tax hike has been signed into law. Talk about naive, I actually BELIEVED that I was powerless to cigarettes and had to be forced to quit by lack of money, and that they were bad for me, but I still enjoyed smoking.

Since that day, I’ve become much more aware of the reality of things, of how powerful political propaganda programs can be, and in 2008 I created this Church in hopes of making a sanctuary from the ignorance in the world, providing all the awareness I can to raise consciousness by reminding you that your thoughts are powerful prayers that influence not only youself, but all of mankind, and that the positive ones always overpower the negative thoughts, canceling them.

So, be consciously aware of the thoughts you hold in mind, and live your life like a prayer.
