Good Morning!
I had an extraordinary demonstration of the power of THOUGHT yesterday. I know I have spoken of thought's power many times AND there is nothing like the actual experience real-time.
We had concluded the SuperAdvanced and were preparing to leave. There was a desire on my part for things to unfold in a certain way regarding our itinerary. They did not. I was overtaken by my anger about the situation. I watched how my mind endeavored to line up "facts" to support my desired outcome. I observed how doing so added fuel to my anger-fire. I avoided this track of thinking in response.
However, I was still mad as H_ _ _ _! I choose to say my response was inappropriate no matter how logical, reasonable, judicious my unfulfilled alternative may have seemed. People have free choice to make their own decisions, regardless of how we may choose them to make other decisions more to our liking.
Riding in the car on the way back to Encinitas, steaming, I decided to do the Peace and Harmony prayer for the two people for whom I have been doing it. Not that this was an easy choice, mind you, yet it turned out to be a very, very good one!
By the time I had concluded my practice of P and H, I experienced no anger! WHAT?!!! I realized that my THOUGHT had been fueling my anger, and when I filled my mind with other thoughts, to the full exclusion of my anger-producing thoughts, my anger had no FUEL to sustain it!
WOW! I realized once again, graphically, what I think about determines my state! If I think about GOD, I become God-like and spiritually-infused with the concomitant benefits. If I think about LOVE, I become loving with the associated magnetism provided. If I think about the Fraud World, I become worldly, ETC.
Doing affirmations, singing songs to God, reciting poems of highest spiritual quality, doing the P and H prayer, saying a 'mantra' or phrase over and over like "I love You, God!", will create my mood, my day, my life! I will receive the at-the-moment benefit and also move quickly toward my over-arching goal of Oneness with the ONE.
My word! (or perhaps I should say, My thought! ;-) I am certainly grateful for my anger problem yesterday! What a powerful demonstration was provided. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he!
Loving you always, k
