Hello world. The following was written 01/05/2018.
There is a misconception being held that one should ignore their thoughts and what is being experienced in the moment. That one should ignore the pain and suffering and just think happy thoughts. That one should never look below the surface at what is experienced or question ourselves as to what we are experiencing.
A brother compared the thoughts within our minds to the voices of a schizophrenic split mind. The label chosen by them points to a belief that all the voices are the same and have no purpose, reason for being, or legitimate meaning. It shows their judgments and inability to accept themselves as they are. To them there is only one voice inside that is not to be acknowledged in any way shape or form. To acknowledge that voice would be to acknowledge their reality and experiences were real and may not be what they believed them to be. They would have to accept responsibility for themselves and their own choices to judge and believe.
Something to consider here is that there are multiple Voices within you. One would be the egoistic thought processes or mind that was taught to you. It is a way of thinking, perceiving and experiencing. That is the voice we are taught to focus our attentions on. The other Voices would be Holy Spirit and the Spiritual Guides selected by the Creator for you. Those Voices give understanding and healing when one chooses to look at that which is brought before them and question what is perceived for the Truth therein.
Everything we experience we judge using the perspectives or judgments we were taught by the adults around us as children. Those beliefs are the foundation or basis with which we perceive everything experienced. We are trained to negate so judge all experiences as unwanted. Everything we experience is for our benefit with lessons we are to learn buried within them whether we know it or not in the moments it is happening.
We blindly believe, follow and accept what is taught to us. All of us are taught this way of thinking and perceiving. All beliefs held are taught and never questioned. This is how we perpetuate the pain and suffering. We teach what we are taught and teach as we were taught. We were taught to do as we are told and to never question the authority. That is what we teach our children even as we continue to conform to this belief ourselves with those we believe have authority over us. All of it is a lie. We are Sovereign Beings capable of Self Governance through the Free Will given us by the Creator. No one has the right to choose for us what resonates for us. We do not have the right to choose for anyone else either. That is the lie we are taught though. That we are able to take another’s choices from them or make them for them just as we have had done to us since birth. We made that choice to believe someone could do this to us. We can also change our minds and refuse to allow or accept their judgments any longer.
If you want to heal the split mind you must be willing to look at what it is showing you. Question what is experienced and believed. Just remember that the quality of the question asked will reflect the quality of the answer given. You have to ask before an answer can be given you. That would mean one must be willing to look within to see what needs to be asked.
A shift needs to happen for each Being Individually. Each Being will be required to stop looking out there in the world around them for the answers. They will have to stop looking in books, videos and to their brothers for the answers. Each Being is required to turn their gaze inward. There is a maze, a labyrinth within the mind that must be traversed back to it’s center of Being. It is this journey inward that will free you from all the ties that have bound you. Every seed that planted a belief will be found along the mazes paths. As each one is found and uprooted it is healed and removed. All connections to that belief are removed as understanding replaces the pain and confusion that was in its place.
This is the process that is referred to as the work needed to be done. A willingness to turn within and stop listening to all that is outside of you. To question all that is brought into your minds eyes for review and healing. To stop ignoring and start looking at and accepting your own choices to believe as you do and have. To finally be willing to take responsibility for yourself and who you are and want to be instead of accepting what you are told you are to be.
You are a Sovereign Being with Free Will to choose for yourself what resonates for you. You make these choices and always have. No one else has ever made these choices for you. In every instant you chose to accept what was handed to you as being true. That was your choice. You are allowed to change your mind. You are not required to continue believing as you have been taught to.
Be willing to turn within and question. Be willing to turn away from those outside of you and that which they would hand you. Be willing to walk the labyrinth within your mind and ask Holy Spirit and your Guides to walk it with you. Ask them to shine their Light before you and show you the Truth of what you have chosen to believe. You have to ask for their help in order to receive it. They will not interfere with YOUR choices to be and believe. When they show you this Truth it will be up to you to accept or deny it. This choice is yours. All they may do is lay that Truth before you. It is up to you to choose it and then Live it.
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
