Mindful Deliberation

You have only but to think of us and we are here! Your mind is a very powerful tool when used well, and a potentially dangerous waste when not, like a violently snaking hose as water races from it. Harness that power, and great things are accomplished. Remember to use this gift wisely, for it dictates your entire life and value within it. When intensity from any source causes it to surge with energy, direct it to good use. Focus, affirmations, prayer, song, poetry, building, creating…this is exciting use of the power generated by the extraordinary human mind, derivative of God’s.

The wayward, misused mind gets in all kinds of trouble when left untethered by fretting, ruminating, distracting, conjuring, defeating, resisting, awfulizing, numbing, etc., as well as much dangerous interference and manipulation inspired by fear. While it is easy to see the difference here, it is critical to take charge of it for positive outcomes in every moment. You are learning how powerful you are; remember the subject of your power is not discerning. The combination of your good heart and directed mind moves mountains. You are the cause in each case; keep choosing what team you play for in each moment until it becomes true by taking dominion of your well-trained mind.

A sign that your mind is out of control is the presence of suffering. All pain and discomfort is caused by your mind, so when you are in any form of it, redirect your mind to what feels good: freedom, possibility, expansion, joy, gratitude, flexibility, rejuvenation, excitement, play, lightheartedness. The plane of duality means the choice is present in everything. Choose wisely and your life will change with it. If there is no hope, there is no life. You are wired to rebirth, heal, expand…make it so!

This is a simple and profound message, for when this is true by the majority, despair will be lifted. The nature of your soul is to continually grow and expand; your physical experience can either mirror that with the participation of the mind, or decay in spite of it. It is your constant choice.

Together we join you in this extraordinary expedition! Keep on keeping on in mindful deliberation.
