The Influence of Mind

The basic dictum to comprehend is that the body obeys the mind; the body tends to manifest what the mind believes.  The belief may be held consciously or unconsciously.   This dictum follows from the law of consciousness that states: We are only subject to what we hold in mind. The only power that anything has over us is the power of belief that we give it.  By “power,” we mean energy and the will to believe.

If we look at the Map of Consciousness, it’s easy to see why the mind is more powerful than the body.  The energy field of reason (calibrates at 400), with its beliefs and concepts of the mind, is more powerful than the physical body (calibrates at 200).  Thus, the body will express the beliefs held in mind, consciously or unconsciously.

Our proneness to accept negative beliefs depends on how much negativity we are holding in the first place.  A positive mind, for example, will refuse to accept negative thoughts and simply reject them as untrue for oneself.  There is a refusal to buy into commonly held negative ideas.

Love is Self-Fulfilling

The relinquishing of judgmentalism greatly increases the capacity of Love, as does surrendering the wanting of anything from others.  Thus, people are not perceived according to what they have or do but by appreciation for what they are and have become.

Love is self-fulfilling and thus does not seek gain or to compensate for lack.  Because it does not need to ‘get’, it is therefore free to peacefully ‘be with’ and appreciate.  To Love, the world is more benign and its people appear more friendly and available.  There is an increased feeling of safety and identification with mankind in general and concern for the welfare and happiness of others.  The energy field is accompanied by a radiant aura that intrinsically has an effect on others who themselves then tend to become more benign as do their perceptions.  This energy field has an influence on all life, which intuits the safety of Love through the field effect. Characteristic of this level are an unmistakable ‘sweetness’ of personality, speech, attitudes, and lifestyle that is inwardly nurturing.

God’s Love and Will for You

We start with the certainty, knowing. Just know that if you’re spiritually oriented, you will make progress.  Start therefore, with a feeling of security.  Instead of insecurity or self-doubt, know that anybody who wants to evolve spiritually will receive the necessary assistance.  Success is guaranteed.  Get rid of self-doubt, any idea that you’re not worth it, or that you’re not capable of it, or that it’s not the right time in your life. It’s always the right time in your life.  Accept without reservation that you are worthy of the quest.  Be resolved to totally surrender to the truth about God. Surrender to the truth about God, and trust that your spiritual evolution is aligned with God’s will for you. So, always start with a feeling of security instead of self-doubt.  The living proof of God’s love and will for you is the gift of your own existence.  The fact that you are, is the best evidence there is of God’s love and will for you.

We Pray for that Inner Experience of Infinite Love

Everything we do and say, every movement we make, is energized by the lovingness that we have owned within ourselves.  Whether speaking to a large audience or petting the dog, the energy of love is felt to be pouring out.  We want to share what we hold in the heart as an experiential knowingness, and we hold it in the heart for everyone and everything, that they would be feeling it, too.  We pray for that inner experience of infinite love for everyone around us, including the animals.  Our life is a blessing to everything around us.  We acknowledge to others and to our animals the gift that they are to us.

I Have a Hard Time with Acceptance…

What do you recommend?

Divert your attention to that which is really essential, experientially.  Some days it rains; some days it’s sunny; some days it’s cloudy.  You can’t change the rain, but you can put on your raincoat.  You can be realistic and take the necessary steps to remain dry.  There are many aspects of life you can’t change, but you can let go of your expectation or need that they be different from what they are.  With observation, for instance, you will notice that there is always a war going on somewhere in the world.  So to be peaceful, it is necessary to accept that waging war is part of human nature and has been throughout all of recorded time.  Mankind has been at war 97% of the time.
