Thought World

My thoughts would never really stop, given free rein, because they think that thinking is the most important thing in the universe. But if I just let them chatter on to themselves, observing them lovingly but not identifying with them, they will eventually fall quiet, arising again only to take on their true role of everyday problem-solving. It's like talkative children who, knowing themselves loved, will just gently fall asleep after a while.

The only trouble arises when the thoughts believe their own chatter, and attempt to take the reins...

Graduation Day

...Yet if you have decided Who You Are ahead of time, in advance of anything occurring in your Outside World, your Being will replace your Mind's anger with your Soul's compassion, your Mind's frustration with your Soul's understanding, your Mind's haplessness with your Soul's helpfulness, your Mind's resentment with your Soul's forgiveness, your Mind's need to get with your Soul's desire to give, and your Mind's fear with your Soul's love. In this blessed moment your life will be transformed.

You will say, "Once I was lost, but now I am found." And it will be, indeed, an Amazing Grace.

To achieve this breathtaking transformation you must know one thing. Your True Identity is not something that you discover, it is something you decide. When Decisions replace Discoveries, you will have moved from Student to Master in the Journey to Awareness.

Neale Walsch

Goin' To The Movies

The world we experience is simply a projection of the thoughts we identify with. We think it into existence.

Time to change Reals;)

Express Your Self

Joy is life, expressing. The free flow of life energy is what you call joy. The essence of life is Oneness — unity with All That Is.

This is what life is: unity, expressing.

The feeling of unity is the feeling that you call love. Therefore, in your language, it is said that the essence of life is love.

Joy, then, is love, expressing freely.

Friendship With God
Neale Walsch

A Mystic's Creed. Sort Of:)

I don't see 'God out there' as in any way meaningful. I see it as a hangover from tribal religion. If I were to put it into words, I'd say that the very fabric of reality is Love, Life, Joy, Peace etc., and when a human being like Jesus, Buddha etc., actually gets that at the root of their being, the rest of us deify them 'cos they seem to be from another world. They are, of course, only seeing this world as it really is, and inviting us to do the same. They are Humanity evolving, and showing us how to do it. Someone once said, the purpose of Christianity is not to create Christians, but to awaken the Christ within all of us, and the purpose of Buddhism is not to create Buddhists, but to awaken the Buddha nature in all of us. Just different words describing the same thing - Seeing Everything As It Is, and not as our thought-world would have us believe.

Look For Your Self

It would be difficult to overstate the practical importance of this discovery and its consequences for everyday living. All alienation, all separation, the many-sided threat of hostile things and persons and situations – these are no more than bad dreams. All is You. How could you fear Yourself? How could you despise, resent, be bored by Yourself? How could you not love Yourself?

Look For Yourself by Douglas Harding

Great-Grand-Daddy Of Lies

There's nothing more absurd, and yet deceptive and destructive, than an ego that thinks itself enlightened. It is a most curious beast, as it is itself entirely a product of our identification with thought. Something unreal imagines itself to be Reality!

The only way to escape from this creature - which only has the power we give it - is to stop feeding it, step right back, and let it exhaust itself. It then dissolves, and the true self, the One Reality, takes over again. It is always there, of course, just observing this nothingness squirming about in its delusions of existence.

A Good Thought - 'Nirvana' means 'cessation' - ceasing from seeing ourselves as our thoughts. Simple, huh? Yes, but not necessarily easy.

Time for a Transcendental Coffee;)
