THOUGHT- TOOL

ThoughtTool refers to a psychic device that can be engineered to

manipulate our thought process in such a way that we can cope with

any emotional crisis. As the outcome of our encounters with the

external world comprises of many factors of which we happen to

control only a few and that too in varying degrees, it is only in the

nature of the things that the outcome of all such encounters cannot be

predetermined and hence will not meet our expectations thereby

causing disappointment to us. This in turn will give rise to a sense of

failure and will tell upon our performances at various levels.

It is here that the Thought-Tool comes into play. We can actually think

of the emotional repercussions of all our failures as enemy attacks

lodged upon our psychic defence and as they break through we lose

our mental equanimity. Thought-Tool operates as a defensive tool thatrepairs the damages caused in our protective psychic wall. It is not

through a medication that the objective is attained but by activating

our mental faculties and evolving an idea which counters the

bombardment on our psychic defenses. It actually fights an idea or a set

of ideas perturbing us with an idea or a patch of ideas which will

restore our emotional health.



Worries, if analyzed and broken down to their constituent parts, will

come down to certain ideas which, at least for the time, we do not

seem to have any solution and thats the reason they are our worries. It

is this fundamental reality that the Thought-Tool bases its activities

upon. It is not that the ideational problem lying at the root of all our

worries cannot be solved but that we do not exercise our full potential

in solving it. In fact owing to different factors, cultural, habitual and

otherwise we rather live with our worries than effectively use our

mental resources to solve it and remain ignorant of this vital reality.

Consequently we suffer mental agonies and reduced performances on

our part which can be avoided.

Thought-Tool premises itself on the fact that a thought can be matched

or rather countered with another thought provided we have the

ingenuity to do so. The battlefield is our own mind and hence we have

the discretionary powers to set the rules if only we want to exercise our

right and ability to do so. We are the gods of our own lands and that

clinches the issue decisively in our favour. But this idea wouldnt be

operational if sufficient practice isnt put into it and so the bottom-line

remains the processing of the Thought-Tool suited to our different

challenges and actively using it which would help us to gain mastery

over it.



In fact, though the formulation is new and is the creation of Dr Indrajit

Ghosh, M.B.B.S, (CAL), the fact remains that this concept was used to

great effect by many a historical figures. The one name that

immediately comes to mind is Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa (1836-

1886 A.D) who devised a very potential Thought-Tool in the form of his

immutable faith in the goddess Kali whom he considered the eternal

cause and he himself only her manifestation leaving no room for

attaching any responsibility whatsoever of any actions on him. It is this

faith alone that pulled him through in all his emotional turbulences and

acted as a full proof defense against all onslaughts. Gautama Buddha

(564- 484 B.C) too took recourse of the same Thought-Tool and devised

the Four Noble Truths and the Eight Fold Path that acted as his line of

defense. The same may be said of Jesus Christ and Mohammad as well.

In fact mastery of the Thought Tool can have therapeutic value as well

for we know that our thoughts are biochemical signatures and once we

master the process we can make effective use of it in healing ourselves

without taking recourse to any external medication. In fact all our

medications are basically chemical formulations which have at their

bottom certain information that are nothing but ideas. So even in our

present medical orientation we are basically providing treatment with

ideas, only that they have a visible material form.
