Personal freedom is simply a matter of changing our point of creation from our mind to our spirit. My mind would be happy if it knew exactly what was going to happen on July 10, 2006. The truth is, it would only be really happy if it knew something terrible was going on that day. It loves to solve problems, so it continually creates problems.
Our minds were never meant to be in control. Allowing our minds to be in control of our life is like giving a mad scientist the keys to the universe, chances are the universe would not last very long.
Our mind thinks in terms of past, present and future. There really is no beginning, middle, or end – there is only the present moment. We are actually always at the beginning. Each moment in time we are new, we were just created, in that instant. We actually exist only in that moment. We only have the power to create, in that moment. Our memories of the past reside in our minds. Our minds create our experiences by looking for a similar situation in the past and then fitting it into the present. Holding onto the past is one way we can argue for our limitations.
Our minds know they are mortal and they are terrified of dying. We are an energy that is eternal. As we begin focusing our attention on that, it becomes easier to live from our heart. For me, my heart is synonymous with the essence of who and what I truly am. When I first began to create my experience of reality from that center my mind had tremendous objections. It was terrified. Most people have a great deal of resistance to letting go of their story. So did I, it took me along time before I was willing to take TOTAL responsibility for my experience of life.
My mind continually found excuses for the way I would act, after all my parents had … or my boss had… or they had. My mind was always able to find a reason for me to stay the same. If I didn’t like what someone was telling me, even if it was the truth, I could tell myself they were a jerk. My minds favorite saying is, “It is easy for them to say or do but… .” I have finally realized that the excuse doesn’t matter. I have a choice, I can stay the same and argue for my limitations or I can tell myself the truth. I have the power to change anything, if I am willing to listen to my heart and change my behaviors. Sometimes the truth is I am not yet willing to let go of being right.
My mind would rather feel right than be happy. My mind created my elaborate filter system in an attempt to make sense out of life and it believes my safety depends on maintaining that filter system. True peace and safety comes from a profound connection to our spirit. Once you change your point of creation everything changes and nothing changes, but life becomes a wonderful, fun filled adventure best enjoyed moment by moment.
With love,
