"Positive" action, thinking pushed by the metaphysics / the secret crowd is another recontextualized word that happens when philosophies are hijacked or translated between languages . Positive doesn't mean being happy or upbeat.
Positive means pro.. pro active.. forward motion. Positive action can be malicious but still yield favorable results. Passive is negative.
This is the trick. Most people are fed content all day, every where they look. If you're consuming things, that's a passive/negative activity. If you use your waking hours being proactive good things happen.
