Rest assured that when you do the good work of resolving your personal issues you are gifting so much more of yourself and your energy to the world around you. When you take care of business at home, so to speak, you free up space within yourself to be utilized in fresh new ways. When you let go of old stuff you open the door to new stuff, and that is a really good way to progress in life and to have all the energy you need to advance in your own most joyful way.
Let not the worries of the world fall upon your shoulders. It is not your problem to solve, but it is up to you to solve the issues in your own life that come to challenge you. Face them all with a strong and knowing heart that admits that these are the things that indeed are your most current and your most historic issues. The fact that they are confronting you on a daily basis might result in your getting so used to them that you don’t even realize they are still there, holding you back, keeping you from being your true self, and generally wreaking havoc. Allow yourself to accept your innocence in the matter, but also take responsibility for resolving the things that are not really that good for you. You already know what they are, for they have been with you for a long time, begging for reconciliation. When you do that, all will be well again, and peace will reign, within and without.
Some days are more special than others, for various reasons, but you can certainly make every day special in some way. Start by expressing gratitude and thanks for the life you are in, for the people you share it with, for the wonders you are privileged to behold. Look outside and give thanks for the air you are provided with, for the sun and the rain and the trees, for the bustle of life that flows all around you. Give each day a special meaning, however small, for that is how you reflect back the abundance and riches that come to you every day.
Opposites attract, they say. But sometimes that’s not true. Sometimes the best companions are those who are of like mind and like spirit. Look not outwardly for what you seek but inwardly where you will find what is most meaningful and most important to you in life. When you have found that out, then you will be ready to meet your soulmate, your traveling companion in this lifetime. When you fully know who you are, you will be fully ready to know someone else.
The conscious mind is the father. Thoughts that the mind entertains are like sperm cells. The subconscious mind is the mother whose eggs become fertilized by these thoughts in the form of the suggestions she is attracted to, and, hence, opens to conceive.
This resulting pregnancy in the subconscious mind is the creative process of transforming thought into material reality. As matter is gathered and ordered according to the thought blueprint, an idea is born into a physical life. Thus a child of the mind is born.
This might involve the arrangement of events or encounters in the flow of everyday life that fulfill the requirements to materialize one’s intent. Here, you see the law of attraction operating upon physical reality to create, in the flesh, the original thought, belief, suggestion or intention of the conscious mind. This is a step-by-step process, often with many building blocks assembling over time.
Children of the mind can assume many forms. The child of a gratitude practice is the inner experience of a lightness of being and joy of being. As we express gratitude from the conscious mind, the subconscious mind receives this compassionate intent and instructs the body to release deeply calming hormones that bathe the body and mind in utter tranquility.
Should the conscious mind harbor negative thoughts, the subconscious mind will dutifully produce children of distress, as the physical body will be taxed with having to house the energy of negativity. This might result in an inner hormonally produced bad mood, low level depression, or a state of anxiety.
Sometimes people experience a pervasive state of anxiety seemingly not attached to thought. Often this is connected to trauma, where life was frozen in the thought of the constant need for defense, unable to resolve in the delivery of processing its experience.
This frozen state of vigilance becomes a forestalled birthing process, housed in the body, that awaits the conscious mind, in the form of a midwife, to be present to its experience and help deliver it to resolved new life.
Often, outside thoughts enter the conscious mind seeking to influence our beliefs and behaviors. These might result in illegitimate pregnancies, especially if we attach to these thoughts without soulful vetting.
Cautionary guidance here is to remain in a passive mode when excited by a passion-induced thought. This passive state is actually a receptive state where one allows oneself greater access to the broader picture, which might expose the one-sidedness of the outside influence.
Additionally, when we are in the receptive state, we are opened to the greater wisdom of our interconnected reality. Synchronicities come that punctuate and affirm thoughts that present.
In this process, ego, or conscious self, receives the guidance of higher wisdom, which points the way to appropriate action for the greater good of self. With this clarity, passivity gives way to activity, as vetted suggestion is presented to the subconscious mind.
All people are parents and children of their own minds. Claim ownership of these creative possibilities and lead life into greater fulfillment for self and all.
With conscious intention and subconscious joy,
Chuck
