On Bad Thoughts - by Saint Alphonsus Liguori
16And Jesus said... 18 ...those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20These are the things which defile a man... -Matthew 15:16-20 Bible, King James Version
The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ by Levi H. Dowling
CHAPTER 67.
1Now, on the morrow Jesus came again and stood with John beside the ford; and John prevailed on him to speak, and standing forth he said, 2You men of Israel, hear! The kingdom is at hand. 3Behold the great key-keeper of the age stands in your midst; and with the spirit of Elijah he has come. 4Behold, for he has turned the key; the mighty gates fly wide and all who will may greet the king. 6 ...Whoever will may come; but he who comes must will to prune himself of every evil thought; 7Must overcome desire to gratify the lower self; must give his life to save the lost. 8The nearer to the kingdom gate you come, more spacious is the room; the multitudes have gone. 9If men could come unto the kingdom with their carnal thoughts, their passions and desires, there scarcely would be room for all. 10But when they cannot take these through the narrow gate they turn away; the few are ready to go in and see the king.CHAPTER 126.
8Hear me, you men of Israel! ...The carnal mind lays hold of thought, and makes... sin; sin is a creature of the mind. 19The law of spirit calls for purity in thought and word and deed. 25That which defiles a man wells up from carnal thoughts... and generate a host of evil things.
