Certainly for research purposes, yes, but in day to day life, it is generally more productive to stick to what is known.

swami I think you are confusing ignorance with positive thinking...
in my opinion positive thinking is something like this:
boxer: well I think I can win but you never know man this guy's really good.. i'm going to do my best though and I hope to take 'im down
whereas ignorance would be more like:
boxer: yeah this fucker's goin down dude - no question about it
there's always a question about anything as long as you acknowledge that your positive thinking is just that, - positive thinking - I think it is perfectly healthy.
I plan to think positively, but I understand that negativity exists.
-------------------- Insert an "I think" mentally in front of eveything I say that seems sketchy, because I certainly don't KNOW much. Also; feel free to yell at me. In addition: SHPONGLE

Yes, because there would be fear, and fear is an emotion, a thaught. It doesnt have to be a positive thaught, negative thaughts precede action as well. And you can go even further by including what provokes this fear response: Certain neuro Chemicals being processed within the hippocumpus region of the brain along with hormones, adrenal glands being activated and so on, triggering his heart-rate to go way up, sweating, muscels tense up, blood pressure goes up, PLUS the psycological aspect (Thaughts being processed, etc) and ultimately: "I gotta get the fuck outta here!" THEN! The guy runs faster. All of this happens in a split second, but it isnt all just pure (physical external, walking and talking action, alot of thaught and processes are happening first. And if the biochemical action in his brain counts as this action your talking about as well, then that I'll agree with. Because if these certain neuro chemical changes werent occuring, then the thaughts wouldnt happen in the first place. The thing is, heart rate, what chemicals are doing and so on, cannot be controled all the time. Action cannot always be controled. So I'll meet you half way to say that in order to have thaught, the neurochemical changes that occure cannot happen without movement (action) in order to have a thaught or feeling which in turn equal further physical action (voluntary or not).

positive thinking is alot of how you say it and how you reinforce the affirmation. it has to be in the now. no i am going to or i will. reinforce your affirmations by visualization as if it is happening now. and take a step further and ask yourself are you prepared to take the steps to make this affirmation come true. affirm visual action
