Thought Power by Sri Swami Sivananda

The table of contents itself is 4 pages long so… that’s all I gotta say. Well not really… as always I took notes. Big up Devs for the recommendation.
– Blue thought forms denote devotion. The thought-form of self-renunciation is of the loveliest pale azure with a white light shining through it. Thought-forms of selfishness, pride and anger are of grey-brown, orange and red colour, respectively. We are always surrounded by these thought-forms and our minds are seriously affected by them. Not one-fourth of our thoughts are our own, but are simply picked up from the atmosphere.
