When thinking evil will it happen evil?
Can one control his mind or thoughts to have something happen ? I was just wondering on this because there is alot of talk about it lately.

Although thinking, indeed meditating on evil is surely self destructive, I think that we can control ourselves and look for alternate ways to see/correct our problems. We are human after all and will have evil thoughts because of our emotional responses.

Ah, a question regarding "The Secret" I was wondering when one of these would show up.

While the mind does control us, I think there are just some bad things that happen.

Yet I still think that we do control how we interpret what is around us. If we "choose" to only see the negative, then we will create more of it only because that is where our intent is. Not because that is all that is around us.

At some point people must take control of their life and situation. Once that has happened then their intent will give them more abilities to change the world around them.

ofcourse, it works all the same and beliveing you self to be sick and you becoming sick. poeples minds are very powerful and if you belive that something will go bad it will indeed go bad. or so you minf will lead you to think it did.

I believe it to be so. One can be so consumed with "evil, angry" thought that they can be projected. I'm sure not everyone can do it. There are some who have tapped into parts of the brain that we normally don't use. I believe there is a lot of power in these "gray" areas!

like attracts like ... what you put out you get back

I know that in the past I held a very negative viewpoint. Everything I experienced I saw as either an attack, threat or affliction. That negativity, in my opinion acted as a catalyst for further negative manifestations.

A more positive outlook has lead to a much more positive life. Now that I don't assume negative things will happen, less negative situations occur.

well, i always try to think optimistic and it always works out. all of last week was extremely shitty, but today i was offered the $1,000 to bail my boyfriend out of jail

I use to think negativeity and all it did was put me into the darkness of myself. Once I rid myself of negativity and learnt to become positive I not only opened my spirituality but much good came into my life.

And that right there is the basis of "the secret".

Funny how when in the downward cycle it's difficult to see past what you feel. Yet once it's broken, it never seems to have quite the same grip on the person. Like the power is lost.

I saw that movie and I'm doubtful...seems every time I'm the most optimistic about anything...something/someone comes along and messes that up...so I've put out positive energy and not gotten it back...now I have NO expectations of anything or anyone...

i don't belive just thinking evil begats evil. maybe if you have several people thinking the same thoughts, then maybe. but karma says don't do it. it'll return 3 fold.

I do believe that anger, jealousy and hate are such powerful emotions that they can be used to harm others. Yes even with the mind, I have always believed that if you send out enough thoughts and put your will behind an evil thought it can be carried out, maybe not in the way you imagine but definitely something nasty will happen. The universe will provide whether the thought and will is positive or negative.

I believe that if you truly believe and continue to think a certain way, that way will appear. If a person believes themself to be ill or have something wrong with them, then they will usually get sick or have something happen. Whether it be good or bad, we do tend to believe what we think.

A friend of mine, in her life as wished three people dead, they all are. She's probably the only person that scares me a little. I asked her to wish my sister in law dead, she refused, said once she figured it out she swore to never do it again.

If you're thinking of something evil toward someone, negatively, you're actions are going to sway that way as well, even if other people aren't aware

I belive if you think evil it can come to be, your energy is focused on evil things so you are sending out evil energy, what will happen when you do this no one knows but it will probably come out bad...

I think some people do the, don't say it just incase it doesn't happens. Don't tempt fate.
Maybe the same can be said for what you're talking about. But, that would mean thinking good or proud thoughts could possibly make bad things happen. They said the Titanic was unsinkable, and how many people died?

no i dont believe it can happen, ppl have to commit evil

I suppose it would depend on the degree of evil of your thoughts.

I suggest that you purchase a copy of "The Secret"- there is a discussion on the nature of evil thoughts

I like Ishta's point, it's almost like it was jinxed

I don't think that thinking of evil will cause evil to happen.

i do not believe so, no.

thinking evil or negative self talk, can effect you and your actions. your actions will effect the ones around you and your eviroment. so yes it could happen

my mother has always told me that bad things happen to me because I'm a negative person, but I think she's full of BS. You don't create the good or bad things in your life, you just stumble into them.

i think it can happen that way if there is enough will power added to it ..

I think if you are in a dark or evil state of mind....sort of like an unhappy sort of mood where you wouldnt think twice about something and just thru with it anyway no matter what the consequences, then i believe that you will do evil things because of that and vice versa if you are in a happy mindset...=)

Well you're not going to have a good time if you're in a negative mood. You will only notice the bad things even more, your negative mood can also be passed onto people closest to you, like a virus. Everything can seem to go wrong.

Whatever you think - you create.
Whatever you create - you must experience. This is as basic as it gets. We are co-creaters and not "servants" and far more powerful than we let ourselves believe yourselves to be. There is at least one member article on this. Thoughts Are Things

ahhhh the power of suggestion :) it works very well

I think your thoughts do manifest themselves. Self-fulfilling prophecy. I've ben negative for a very long time and so my perception of everything is negative. I'm trying to change to a positive attitude to attract positive energy. Like attracts like, as has been said.

yes the human mind is so powerful that if you think hard enough it will happen its the fact that or subconscious can actually cause a interuption in this world's flow...

either that or we just pay attention and finally notice that its already been happening and this isnt the first time...

I believe that if you are dwelling on evil that it can manifest itself in your everyday life.

I believe a lot to do with the outcome of a situation, has to do with the powers of the mind. If you believe something bad will happen, instead of trying to see the good- I mean it is more than likely that something negative will happen. If you go looking for trouble- you will find it

xArjunax I missed the link in your post the first time very nice thank for sharing that :)

i read an article about things like this. like serial killers and such. I guess they did a study on it and have found that alot of people have some kind of brain damage that makes them do it. They will cat scan them and find areas that are much denser then others. I dont know if that is true or not.

People with dark sinister outlooks on life do seem able to create a vile world all their own. Mind over matter? Hard to say.

I do strongly believe in the laws of attraction and believe that i can happen both negative and positive. You think it long enough and put enough emotion into it and it will happen.

no...for evil to happen someone has to commit it, u may think about it but it gotta be done

Vamperellia, I don't have a lot to say about this. I haven't read any of the other comments, but I'm sure your getting a lot of people giving the same answer as me. That would be a definate yes. Even people that don't believe in magic and mind control specifically will tell you that pleasant thoughts will bring you good energy, but this will also happen with bad or unpleasant thoughts bringing the opposite effect.

Forgive me if i repeat anyone's answers.
I'd like to answer as i am the first, in order to give my true thoughts.....

I believe that YES, it does. i have ALWAYS believed this....
If one can invoke GOOD to happen, with healthy thoughts, WHY can one not invoke BAD to happen, with negative thoughts?

Some call it instinct or gut feeling, but of course there IS a psychosematic element to it, where if you THINK, for example, that you will be sick if you go on the rollercoaster, you WILL be sick, because your brain is already nervous, and gets extra stimulus to do the honours!!

There is a famous Businessman's quote which fits perfectly here.
Zig Zigla said......

"There are Two kinds of people in this world..... Those that think they CAN, and those that think they CAN'T..... They are BOTH RIGHT!"

I think this applies here too.
:)

WOW!
Some very good takes on this subject!
I'm glad i didn't just repeat everybody's responses!
I agree with what a lot are saying here.
Especially the downward spiral, and "the Secret".

It's almost as if by THINKING it, you are actually WILLING it to happen, whether it be good or bad. However, it does throw a spanner in the works when Ishta spoke of Jinxes!!!!

Perhaps it needs more than just a bunch of words, and it is all from WITHIN!!!
you may THINK you'll fail a test, but if you checked, you actually FEEL you'll be alright!!
Unfortunately, people take their THOUGHTS too seriously and ignore their more spiritual FEELINGS.

Thanks for listening!
:)

in some ways i believe yes it can but i dont think a person can really control it purposely if that makes any sense

Another movie that deal with some of these basic ideas on how we can get physically addicted to the specific emotions that we have most consistantly is What the Bleep do we know?

it all depends what you consider to be evil...relating to books and movies is nice although when it comes down to it,it's whats in your mind and if you can will your thoughts strong enough it is possible that you can connect with a darker kind of energy.
the mind is a unwritten book and alls you have to do is think to write in it!

I think we have the ability to emit certain positive and negative energies and these effects our lives and relationships.

If you really have an ambition toi make something evil happen, I think you can- but in the sence that "evil" is what you define it, and you have control over your actions.

This reminds me of the telepathy thread!!

Thought and suggestion... perceive.. receive!!


I have feared the worst and It actually comforted me in the END, Because the worst didn't actually, happen!!

thinking evil and actually doing something evil are different things

Its all Karma.... think negative negative things happen.... karma

I think that things happen for a reason, if it is because you wanted it to be evil doesnt mean that it wasnt already.

things will be as they are meant to be , but putting the powers of the mind in play may help to bring it out more

Sometimes, sh*t happens... ALSO: Energy follows thought. I like to buy into the positive thought train just to be on the safe side. Because if you believe your thoughts can bend and shape events- you probably believe in karma... and you know what that means. Hopefully ;)

some times when you think of evil things to happen they dont always happen unless you want an evil thing to happen

i have a total negitive outlook on my life and nothing good ever happens to me. so maybe it is true. the way you think effects your life.

As a magick user I firmly believe what we envision has a connection with reality. The stronger you medite on it the more likely it is to happen.

i f you think evil thoughts had enough i believe they will happen

Once when I was very young I hated this boy. I sat through the whole lunch period staring at him wishing he would choke and telling my friends how I wish he'd choke. I could just feel the hatred and anger boiling inside of me to the point I felt like I was shaking inside. It was almost the end of the lunch period he sure enough choked. It scared me SO much. I never tried it again!

Well they do say if you think positive all the time positive things will happen to you I don't see why if you are thinking negative all the time why the same would not hold true.

the thing is if you focus on what is badly missing which equals to evil, then it will come around if you focus on waht you're seeking good, not missing but seeking then it goes well, plus as it was mention waht goes around comes around so if you thik evil and seek it to push it then it goes back and hits you hard.
Evil has that way of working.

So was it just luck that jerk choked when I was little?

yes

In my mind just cuz you think evil, doesnt mean that it will happen evil. Maybe a little bit but not full blown.

It perhaps makes you akin to 'focus' ON the evil/bad occurance Even if there Is also good going on!!

I often thought HOLY FrikKin COW about some things.. But in the end, it was Just Oh, Cow.. that sucked.. But not as bad as I THOUGHT.
standardly I tend to think in a neutral manner.. and see where actions take me.

IF YOU BELIEVE IT THEN MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU BUT YOU HAVE YOUR OWN MIND AND YOUR OWN THOUGHTS GO THROUGH.PEOPLES MINDS CAN BE SICK BUT IF YOU JUST KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT THEN YOUR LETTING YOURSELF THINK THAT YOUR SICK OR MAYBE EVEN EVIL YOUR THE ONE WHO LETS THINGS HAPPEN

XxrebelxX

Good one.. that's interesting psychology

yeahh.. i think the mind can do a lot of things if used properly

Thinking too much can cause alot of ill health....allowing thaughts to roomagate in side with no outlet can cause severe mental illnesses....COncentrating on Evil can make things hapen as it causes you to do then.

I think that if your mind is stuck on evil, then your perspective on things will be altered from normal. Thus, you will see things happening to you and around you in a darker light than normal, and perhaps see things as more evil than usual.

I believe if a person has evil thoughts and cannot control themselves, then they themselves may commit an evil act. I do not believe that a person can thing something evil and bring it into existence. They would have to do something evil themselves.

Iv been reading through this set of posts and notice evil being mixed with negativity ect
We must all except we have evil in us and good, don’t off balance yourselves trying to be extremely good and deigning natural feelings or worse punishing yourself.
Evil is just a concept of mans understanding of the event or person.
Just like a man who kills lots is a good soldier to me, maybe to you a evil serial killer.
…. Negativity is not evil it is a action or attitude…. Just wanted to clear that up thanks for reading

of course it can, why take the risk?

it can lead up to evil happening but for evil to happen u phsyically have to do it.

i feel that evil begets evil..so if u r thinking of evil it will find u..

Energy attracts energy, so if you are thinking negatively then more negative energy will be attracted to you.

I think that negative thought can definitely influence a situation, but I wouldn't necessarily say that it happened that way because you had the thought.

i believe thinking evil does not mean nessary it will turn out evil, no Evil bad would have to rely on all that surrounds situation, from people to the act to the surcumstance. to many variables no!

you can make many things happen just by thinking it and not just evil things

well i think this that it can happen to an extent i mean it all depends on wat ur thinkin evil about cause it coulld come that way or not

evil thoughts are what i always thought come for bad or evil people but I have learned you dont have to be evil for evil thng to happen to others

Harborring ill will in a given situation would, I think, affect the outcome of that situation. Is it the thoughts themselves that cause the desired outcome? perhaps; after all it is the thought that creates an action and the action affecting the outcome. A very interresting question to ponder.

It depends on whether you feel compelled to act on the evil thoughts you have...and how you define evil thought.

For example thinking of having sex outside of marriage is considered evil by the church!

I believe that if you concentrate you mind on evil, nothing but evil can come from it. It's like bad juju. If you do something bad, something bad will happen to you. And with good juju, if you do something good, something good will come to you in return. That is just my feeling on how things work.

I always have evil thoughts, but that doesn't mean evil things happen. I do know right from wrong and I am logically educated as well.

Just because you have evil thoughts all the time doesn't mean evil things are going to happen. YOU have control over what you do in life as far as thinking about something and doing it, whether it be for good or evil.

Also, what is evil to one person is good to another. Evil is subjective. For example, some people believe that gambling is evil, while others see it as mere entertainment.

So if one were to think of 'evil' things, they would be more likely to do 'evil' things. It's only human nature.

I do believe you bring about what you think about. The mind is powerful and if EVIL is something you are thinking...it can be something you are attracting as well.

yea i do believe that it is kinda psychological that when you feel something and that happens.

thinking evil will happen and then have an occurence is an imagination in overdrive. Obsessing about a specific event and having it occur is *shrug* a fair cause to become a hermit?

the power of mind is very strong if you think evil you will create evil

I suppose it could in some cases.
I mean aren't many evil actions preceded by the perpetrators evil thoughts. A premeditated crime.

The human mind is an extremely powerful entity. If one has negitive thoughts, the physical world only naturally will follow with negitive manifestations.

Umm. lemme think about that... NO! :P I'm thinking about washing the dishes.. but is it happening?? Just thinking about something doesn't mean that it is going to happen. I'm sorry I totally disagree.

DarkAngelGina, I understand what you are trying to say. But, I have to agree with darkxxlady666 that just because one "thinks" about evilness, does not mean that evilness will occur. There may be times where one will think evil thoughts and because of that thought, of course negative energy will spawn from it, but there is nothing that can prove that something will happen from the creation of a negative spawn such as that. It has to actually physically happen.

I think it can. The mind is a formidable thing and most of the time if you dwell on something long enough it happens.

anger is a form of energy. We use more energy when we are angry for the meer fact of keeping ourselves calm. I have no doubt in my mind that we can release this energy in very powerful forms. I don't think it would be evil as much as it would be vengence.

darklord26, are you sure that when something happens that it is not sheer coincidence? You say that if you think on something long enough it will eventually happen... which is somewhat vague.. How long would you wait to see if what you are thinking about is actually going to happen? Then, once it does happen, it may not be of your doing at all...

thatswhat rituals r for

i dont think if you think evil evil will happen i think if it does it was meant to happen i guess ive thought of alot of evil towards me and others in the past but nothing ever happend

id say yes it can happen evil
exspecially if you do spells i think its all has to do with belief
