“Our minds have the incredible capacity to both alter the strength of connections among neurons, essentially rewiring them, and create entirely new pathways. It makes a computer, which cannot create new hardware when its system crashes, seem fixed and helpless.”
We cannot underestimate the power of the Mind. The Mind can lead us to feel an array of emotions, from anguish to pleasure, dependent upon how we use it.
When we stop, reflect, and become aware of how our Minds have been conditioned- and the result of those developed habitual thought processes- we are one step closer to a more greater recognition. Just beyond our prefixed notions lies the freedom we so deeply long for.
We have not been gifted with this thing called life to suffer our way through it. Rather, just beneath the surface of our thoughts holds a greater Truth for us all. When we push beyond the mind chatter and tread unventured territory, we are blessed with the most amazing wisdom. The seeds of our awakening are already planted inside of us all and are begging to be nurtured. Unveiling this Truth is our gift and our birthright.
We have a tendency to fixate on the very things we wish to avoid in life. The Law of Cause and Effect is always there working at our mercy. When we learn to think only the thoughts that we wish to experience, we can trust a greater outcome from what we previously set into motion.
Just past the surface of our thoughts lies a treasured state of peace and love like no other. We must trust that anything born directly from this place of good will be developed into pure beauty. We can work on continuously grounding ourselves in this state by tearing down one destructive thought after the other.
When our intent for life is pure, born from it will be our greatest blessings, as Spirit works through us. We can learn to break away from old thought patterns that are disillusioned and construct a far greater reality by rising above them.
So suppose this thing called life was really just us sitting in one, seemingly long meditation. If that was indeed the case, we could practice allowing experiences to come and go without gripping onto them or judging them further. Every thought noticed simply there to act as a distraction from our true nature. Every emotion aroused, again, there acting simply as a form of distraction; trying to pull us away from our natural state of being.
We can learn to notice this tug and pull in life and redirect ourselves back to the beauty that exists, deep within all along.
Love. Our birthright. Underneath all of the mind chatter or felt emotions there is a greater power within, begging for our awareness.
Just as in any meditation practice, when we notice a distraction from our focus we can simply let it be and gently guide ourselves back to our greater focus. In doing so, the strain willingly dissipates all on its own. We need not judge what sensations or thoughts arise but again simply become aware of our relationship to them and our innate power to refocus our center on a much greater presence.
So suppose this thing called life was really just us sitting in one, seemingly long meditation. We can practice allowing experiences to come and go without gripping onto them or judging them further. We can simply notice them and redirect our main focus back to the present time. Back to our relationship with the here and now. Back to our birthright.
Behold the peace that awaits when we experience life through this lens. Nothing experienced exists to intentionally cause suffering but instead offers us a recognition of something greater within, offering love and peace to those that seek.
We can notice when tension arises through our relationship with life and allow ourselves to go back to a state of inner peace, inner love; our true essence. Like anything in this thing called life, the more we practice the greater we become. And so it is.
