Lana,
Of course we want to think about things that are beneficial.
The main question is how to do that. Trying to wrestle with our thoughts is pointless.
However the mind serves the desire. And so if you desire something very much your mind will think all of the time of how to reach that.
So the most important is to plant yourself in a good, healthy spiritual environment and be influenced by it and then you will see how your thoughts change too.
Seth@KabUTracy,
Here is a blog post by our teacher, Rav Laitman that explains that.

Enjoy.
Seth@KabUEsther,
This is a great question and is the gate to beginning to understand this very high matter.
One specifically must be engaged in all of the laws of nature of this world, as this is where the Creator put us with family, work, health, etc. and at the same time, go  above reason, from a place where reason cannot reach, attain, or understand, this place is called ‘faith’, it is actually an attainment that is made specifically above reason. If there is no reason then one cannot go above reason… one could have blind faith, called below reason, or one could remain within reason, but the kabbalist engages in this world and it becomes the foundation to rise above reason.
Seth@KabUAllen,
Yes, this is mind blowing content. From page 115, “We are not really learning anything new in this world or in the spiritual world; we are simply climbing back to the future.”
You can say that they are rungs, there are many ways to count or relate to these things depending on what we are working with, but this concept is fine.
There is nothing that is removed from this process, every thought, every desire is included all the way back to the your complete and whole state at the end of your personal correction and the final correction that includes everyone and all of reality.
Seth@KabULana,
Now everything we think and feel comes from our original nature, instinctively.
We discovered that, from the books and the teachers and we want to reach the One who created us.
We want the Creator to give us a second nature, bestowal. It turns out that everything comes from Him, but through our efforts to resemble Him, we become like Him.
