I talked about yokes previously. The quotation is from Jesus (Matt 11:30).
I said everybody has a yoke, or yoga, to regulate their moods. I think that there are a variety of yokes that could satisfy a person, not just Christianity, to make that clear.
I think the yoke is basically about positive thinking. But let me explain that. In Christianity, Christ died for your sins. You are forgiven, so everything is going to be all right. In Islam, you submit to God, so everything is fine. In Buddhism, you begin the path to enlightenment. With capitalism, you produce value, so you are significant. Scientists practice the scientific method. Animal rescue. Living your truth. Being an American, the way the founders imagined. Every belief system that can be a yoga has a reason why everything is going to be all right, so you don't have to worry. But the answer is something like "Just believe."
The Law of Attraction is a new kind of yoke. It says just tell the universe what you want and you will get it. It says your thinking attracts things to you, so if you're negative, you will attract negative things, but if you think positive, you will attract good things. At the very least, psychology tells us if you view the world positively, you will be aware of more positive things or opportunities for success. In either case, more good stuff is available to you, and less bad stuff will bother you. You are more satisfied with less, as opposed to addiction where you want more and more. Rich people don't have to be spiritual, because they can afford more and more. It is often economics which inspires people to get straight.
When people are thinking negatively, they are suffering. In this time and place we are encouraged to let people believe what they want and not question their beliefs, while we think they have a bad attitude. People unconsciously create the world they are comfortable in. They often don't understand what is causing the problem. Sometimes a little nudge in the right direction to make them more conscious can have a momentous effect. We need spirituality, such as altered states, because we act unconsciously on the world, and spirituality helps us control our unconscious.
You can always find a reason to be negative. Unless you deliberately choose positivity, you will suffer the negative. It takes commitment. It has to be deeply felt. The only trick is that it's so simple. It's available for everyone.
