A major Key to obtaining Spiritual and Physical Balance is developing a Mastery of our Thoughts and our Emotions. These are not easy tasks. In fact, the mere thought of the work necessary to attain this Mastery overwhelms many and they fail to even make an attempt. If they do try, the attempt is half-hearted and doomed to failure. This does not mean that it is not do-able. All of us can make strides to develop control over What We Think and How We Feel.
How? Well, first off, we must have a TRUE DESIRE to pursue these tasks. If we go in half-hearted, we are admitting failure from the start. Mastery must be what we Desire in our Hearts. We have to be ready to do all we can to obtain it. Once we make that silent Commitment to ourselves, then we can begin.
MIND AND BRAIN
The Mind is not the Brain. The Brain is not the Mind. The Brain's purpose is to act as a Recorder of Physical Events and as a Translator of the Thought Impulses given to it by The Mind. Our Minds cannot be physically touched. Each of our Minds are a projection of and are connected to the Universal Mind of the One Source, The Creator. Because we share the Creator's Mind, we have the ability to access Creator's Infinite Knowledge if we so wish. However, most of us choose not to, partly because we have this concept of "God" being "outside of us". This is a fallacy criminally manufactured and sold as "truth" by organized religions. The TRUTH is that Creator lives in Each of Us and in Every Atom of Every Thing.
Depending on what we are Attracting to ourselves, our Minds will select "Thought-forms" that match the Mental and Emotional state that we are currently in. These Thought-forms are all around us and they are as easy to pick up as it is to pluck and apple off of a tree. So, if we're in an argument, we are bound to Attract any Negative Thought-form that may be happening by (not to mention certain Elemental beings who feed off of the lower energies given off by Humans in conflict). The Mind will consider this Thought-form for use in the current situation. As the Argument rages, the Thought-form is accepted, clothed with an Action and sent on to the Brain. Next thing you know, you've just called your wife something unspeakable.
All of this happens at the Speed of Thought, which is quite a bit faster than the Speed of Light. These things take place without our even being aware.
THOUGHT
There is an old saying that goes "Thought is the Horse that pulls the Cart". This means that Thought precedes our every Action. How many times have we said something Hurtful or Mean to someone else and then quickly followed it with "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that", or "I take back what I said"? Well, we can't take it back, it's been said. More importantly, we can't say that we didn't mean to say it because we did. Thought is faster than Physical Light. In the split millisecond that it takes for us to think of something Nasty to say to a person, the Action is initiated and follows *snap!* just like that. We are not even aware of the fact that we THOUGHT about saying this nasty thing to someone. It happened at a level of consciousness that we are unable to recognize. Naturally, we refuse to accept responsibility for saying it because we don't remember Thinking it. But we did think it.
This is why it is so Important for us to learn to Control our Thoughts. Training ourselves in what sorts of Thoughts we will allow our Minds to present to us will help us to slowly eliminate harsh and negative ones from elbowing their way to the front of ouw Minds.
Thoughts also affect us personally. The Types of thoughts that we entertain can make us physically ill. This is because every Thought or set of Thoughts set different Hormones in motion, as the Brain attempts to relay the instructions necessary to convert Thought into Action. Long story short, frequent Thoughts of any particular nature can cause a buildup of Energy in certain locations in what's known as our Vital Body. This buildup creates a pressure or imbalance at these locations. The Vital Body is the Invisible matrix upon which our Physical body takes its Form. ALL OUTWARD ILLNESSES SPRING FIRST FROM AN INNER IMBALANCE in the Vital Body. This Imbalance is usually caused by Unbalanced Thinking.
You see, We are what We Think. Our Physical Body is simply a Manifestation of the Sum Total of our Mind-projected Thoughts.
EMOTIONS
Our Emotions operate as our Reaction to Physical or Mental stimuli. They report to our Mind via the Brain how we "feel" about a particular thing at any given time. Our Mind absorbs this information and then chooses the next set of Thought-forms based on what it has received. If we allow our Emotions to dictate our behavior, we will go through Life blindfolded as we allow a Physical Reaction to Rule our Actions.
We do not need to become robots but we do need to realize that the Physical Body and it's Sub-Bodies (Vital, Emotional and Mental) are sophisticated TOOLS that are being used by our Spirit in order to gain Experience in a Physical Dimension. A deep-sea diver has to wear special equipment in order to exlpore the ocean depths. So, too, do our Spirits have to clothe themselves in these wonderful Vehicles in order to Navigate our dense 3D reality.
It benefits us greatly if we can learn to step outside of ourselves and begin to utilize our Vehicles with Wisdom. Unfortunately, many of us are tightly bound by our Ego and do not believe that there is anything that can be done about our Physical Thoughts, Emotions or Actions. It is "just the way I am". Well, I'm here to tell you that that's not the way you are, it is the way you are pretending to be. The moment you realize that you are not separate from The Creator and that You are Mind projecting your Image into Matter is the moment you take your first steps toward Mastery.
More To Come...
All Love,
