Our Thoughts

Live neither in the present nor the future, but in the

eternal.  The giant weed (of evil) cannot flower there;

this blot upon existence is wiped out by the very atmosphere

of eternal thought.

          Helena Petrova Blavatsky

Let this be an example for the acquisition of all knowledge, virtue, and riches.  By the fall of drops of water, by degrees, a pot is filled.

          The Hitopadesa

Life precedes form, and life survives the last atom of form. Through the countless rays proceeds the life-ray, the one, like a thread through many jewels.

          Book of Dzyan

If thoughts create our reality, it then causes concern as to why our reality is as it is. Could it be our thoughts are not really ours? No one wishes hard times or grief upon themselves. Does the mass of humanity create endless war? Are our thoughts ours? Lisa had by now seen just how easy it was to manipulate human minds into thinking about war or buying certain products or voting for certain candidates.

Can we then take responsibility and control of our own thoughts? Can we quickly remove thoughts, emotions and ideas that flood us with dread, anxiety and grief? Is this the true meaning of our FREE WILL? Lisa began to see a light in the madness and control system. History is full of wars, poverty, famine and bad politics. Have we ourselves created this, or was it something else? Or have we been guided into thinking these thoughts? Are our thoughts and thus creations being guided by some astral society that wants us to be in despair?

Lisa began to see a link between our individual thoughts and actions and our own spiritual happiness. She began to see that the headlong rushing and hurrying in our daily lives seemed to isolate us from spirit, or rather our spiritual selves. Our inner voice. Could this then mean our lives are so designed that we are like mice in exercise wheels and are being kept from resting and allowing higher guidance to touch our senses?

Lisa then realised that rushing and speeding in all our actions did stop our resonating with spirit and one of the hardest things to convey to her friends was this small yet powerful truth.

We all have CHOICE in our thoughts. And we all have FREE WLL to exercise those choices. If only we are allowed. We must begin to change our thoughts – not only for our own happiness but for our very survival.

To simply go into denial with our thoughts and thinking was a trap too. And once again Lisa saw that to be in fullest awareness possible and in turn be able to direct our thoughts into best outcomes then it was necessary to know as much as possible.

Lisa was reminded just how powerfully emotions can taint our thoughts and paint realities which were far from the truth. She recalled as a child watching a documentary on the sea. She remembered how she cried and was sad for days when she saw a large shark swim up and devour a beautiful seal. Everyone loved seals with their cute puppy-like faces and their apparent friendliness. For years and years she held a strong hatred of all sharks. It wasn’t a mild dislike but an inner loathing that caused her to smile whenever she saw the death of a shark.

And many years later, Lisa began to think about this emotional scenario but this time, she used her mind and not her emotions. She studied the entire food chain of life. She started from the small bacteria in the sea and onto the sea-plants and plankton and onwards to the beautiful glittering fishes. She saw seals eating fish, sharks and killer whales eating seals, then in turn they dying to feed the bacteria. There is incredible beauty in all creation, and once Lisa gained fuller knowledge, she could then shed her emotional bias and see the world as it truly was.

Of course there was an energy transfer from prey to predator. In her current realm this was very needed to sustain life. But why, she puzzled, did humans prey upon their own kind. Never for nourishment, but for joy in the act and domination over others. And the killers would seem to grow in stature at the death of their victims. They seemed to be somehow energetically nourished.

Too much tree hugging and loving denies reality it’s due and stifles awareness. Contact with the beauty and wonder of earth is indeed truly energising and spiritual. To help Lisa gain balance and acceptance of the All That Is, she needed to fully grasp and believe that the divine hand and power of a Creator Force is in All Things. And this encompassed all things too – not just physical such as rocks, trees and animals but energy, thoughts, emotions and dreams as well. She recoiled from the notion that somehow the Infinite Power and Wisdom of a divine creator had messed things up terribly and that ‘she’ or ‘someone’ needed to fix and heal the divine plan. Her inflow of knowledge led her to trust that all things are just how they should be. It was the ‘perception of those things that was critical to her spiritual growth and future. And it was in the knowing of all things as she possibly could that she could then see her place or part in it. Lisa didn’t have to change anything, she only needed to find out how she would and could fit into it.

If one looks at all life without emotional drama, then one sees creation as it really is. The picture may not be pretty or how we wish it to be, but nonetheless it is a truer view. Perceptions are powerful also.

Was it a part of a larger divine plan that mankind did its deeds of horror against nature and its fellow beings? Or was the reality that mankind needed to learn to stop doing these things. Different humans chose to do different things by their choices. But those choices had to be their own! And not some outside influence.

She again pondered just how much emotions are used to control us via religion, corporations, governments and media propaganda. Was mankind being led surely and purposefully away for honouring all life forms including itself? And did people then blindly follow until they too were so out of touch from their inner selves and true reality that they then committed atrocious acts without ever knowing why?

Not only are rose coloured glasses a trap but they deny doom n gloom, thus locking us into false reality. Of course life can be hard. At times unbearable. But was the life being had real? And does the false belief of a grand wonderful world enable an unseen enemy to creep up undetected because the very notion of hardship is precluded from vision? No! Lisa became determined to always see what was coming her way and in no way did this diminish her love of life. She was only just more aware.

Maybe if people looked at life with honest openness, then wars famine, corporations, politicians would then be seen for what they truly are and greater effort would be made to correct the horrors and imbalances.

To be positive and jolly is great…..   While it lasts. But to view all things from a place of acceptance, trust and knowing removes any surprises and high/lows in life. It allows directions to be mapped in full knowledge. And it certainly doesn’t give permission for others to control us in any way and interfere with our divine path. It is no sin to take steps and action to protect our paths in life. Acceptance does not mean being used and manipulated by anyone or anything.

Positive ‘love’ thinkers hate realists who also see and accept dark.  Conversely Realists or so-called ‘dark’ thinkers never seek retribution against ‘love’ thinkers and so the strength of being imbalanced and its downsides can be easily seen. The constant vitriol by self described spiritual people against any one whose clothes, religion, skin colour or customs stem from this fact. The imbalance of thoughts and prejudices comes from an imbalance of knowledge. And this manifests as imbalances in acceptance and tolerance.

Lisa then began to think deeply on the subject of tolerance and trust. Was all humanity born to only pick and choose the ideal things from life that brought only gratification and harmony? A physical realm only pleasure feedback? Or was the divine plan far more expansive and wider than this? Is the plan really to learn and acquire as much knowledge as possible? If so, she then began to see why humanity in general were being kept from even considering this possibility. The poisons, television, wars, money systems then began to take on truly sinister meanings. None of them allowed the human to just stop and think. No system allows people to feel – unless it is finely crafted chaos and nonsense via media and entertainment.

And the solution became apparent with clarity. Own every thought, and discern if the thoughts are based in factual knowledge or via some propaganda seed implanted by others and media.
