Trapped, your hunch is right. The issue is you're looking at the wrong source to explain what you're seeing.

This belief isn't biblical at all meaning it's neither condoned nor condemned. Practically speaking it's simply self-help therapy, spiritually speaking it's mysticism. It's more often referred to as "the power of positive thinking" and it is a dissociating technique which the LC's use and conceal in biblical language.

Of course thinking positively isn't wrong, per se, but when you start neglecting inconvenient things like sin and repentance it becomes a real issue to someone seeking the truth.

Think biblically/realistically and you should be fine.
