Gordon is a believer in that negative thoughts separate, divide, and weaken us. Additionally, one needs to recognise that thoughts have no power over a person, but rather, a person can learn to examine their thoughts without listening to them. Ultimately, he believes we can choose a positive thought instead. Provided by Wikipedia
