Mid-week Inspiration, This Wednesday, June the eighth has come upon me with its usual and unexpected regularity. The Infinite Universe seems to care not a wit for how busy I am. In fact it would appear that the busier I get the more there is for me to do. So once again my old and limiting beliefs come up; yes extreme business is my choice and my creation by my belief. Part of the belief is that I like to be busy, I enjoy that my high energy level allows me to go from six in the morning till midnight day after day. The challenge is that subconscious mind does not know “good busy” from “too busy” without me telling it. My subconscious mind is ever subject to the thoughts I put into it whether conscious or unconscious; which is why in my Spiritual teaching, The Science of Mind, we call it subjective mind.
Therefore subjectively I have created business beyond even my capacity to keep up; and now unconsciously my thoughts are screaming enough. So undoubtedly with the help of my consciously directed thought in a few days or weeks this business will come back into balance. What is most important for each of us to remember through these times of adversity in our lives is the power of our consciously directed, disciplined and focused thought. So often we think, if we think at all about it, that our thoughts are simply random meanderings that have little or no impact on our lives. After all we have all had random thoughts of many kinds of disaster and they have apparently had no real outcome. Yet I warrant that every thought we have has a cumulative and measurable result in our lives; every thought. This was the foundational teaching of the great master Jesus. He taught us that no man should judge another for as it says in Proverbs “as a man thinks in his heart so is he”.
This same understanding has been well understood through the spiritual teachings of the east, prompting the practice of meditation, of becoming the observer, as a fundamental practice in their discipline.
Even today with the awareness of the value of meditation few western people practice it for the very simple reason that we remain uncomfortable with the low level of our thinking, we remain unwilling to take responsibility for it. I do not believe I am the only person on this Spiritual journey who has discovered how much of my less than conscious thought has been consumed by fear, anger, resentment and other forms of dis-eased thinking.
It is exactly this lack of willingness to look within and observe our thinking that allows us to believe that our disease and discomfort is caused by external values.
Today is a good day to become aware of my inner thinking. Today is a good day to change that thinking. Today, simply by being conscious I can change my thoughts of dis-ease; fear, blame, resentment; to thoughts of appreciation, caring and self love. I invite you to join me. In Love and Light, |
