Chuck’s Place: Attack In Your Mind Whatever You Fear

Compassionate detachment is the key…

“…the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance,” stated Franklin Roosevelt in his first inaugural address.

Fearful thoughts literally have substance. The substance of our thoughts is the energetic play of our imagination, the building blocks of what will become substantial physical reality. Fearful thoughts manifest as earthquakes and solar flares in the physical body.

When we imagine, we engage the subtle energy of the astral world, the next stop on our infinite journey beyond life in this physical world. The currency and subtle building materials of that world are thought and imagination.

When we imagine, while in physical form, our mind shifts to the astral plane as we channel its creative capacity to give substance and form to our desires in this world. This is how the subconscious mind manifests our suggestions. What we imagine, with feeling, the subconscious mind brings to life.

At present, our world is teeming with warring thoughts. These outer thought munitions infiltrate the mind with images and emotions that suggest terror to the subconscious mind. This results in paralytic panic in the physical body, which charges the imagination to create even more fearful outcomes, a vicious cycle continuously escalating and spinning out of control.

The real battlefield for this unrelenting attack is the mind itself. At the quantum dimension of our being we are a fully interconnected ocean of thoughts, telepathically exposed to all thoughts. Exposure to thought is one thing, absorption of thought is something else.

Absorbing thought means attaching to a thought, as we doggedly think about it. This incessant attention allows the substance of the thought to subtlety take control of the mind. Even if we disagree with a thought, by mentally and emotionally fighting with it, we increase its power over us because it becomes the central focus of our attention, usurping our vital energy.

To attack in your mind whatever you fear is to become lucid. In a dream state, lucidity allows us to wake up and take charge of the progression of a dream. To become lucid in waking reality is to become aware of the thoughts we have unconsciously become enslaved by, and then to exercise our innate ability to choose where we spend our attention.

Detachment is freedom of attention. With detachment we become emotionally neutral and objective. We are afforded views of current events that clarify the cosmic cycles behind the current dance of humanity. Our narcissistic worldview, that ordinarily has us take things so personally, becomes neutral and objective, despite the horrors of the present. Though not robbed of our compassion, we absorb no grievance.

This freedom of refined attention is aided by guides and intuitions issued from the higher planes of the astral world, from helpful souls who have reached total acceptance of all that is, and seek only the truth. We open to these positive channels of truth as we exercise our lucidity and attack in the mind whatever we fear.

Wake up to the state of your mind and reclaim all of its power by releasing, with love, the thoughts that once bound you to fear. Think only of the greater good for all.

The Greater Good for All,
Chuck

Turn inward several times today and ask yourself how you are doing and feeling. What has you so riled up? What has you questioning the sanity of the world you live in? What has you asking so many questions but getting no real answers? When you go inward and sit in meditation for a few minutes you begin to gain a sense of the self as separate from all that is going on outside of you. You begin to sense the self as an observer of life and this allows you to step back, breathe and take a sigh of well-earned relief. You don’t really have to engage. You can step back and just be, wholly within the self, if only for a few minutes of respite from the great calamities and dramas of the world around you. Take time to do this today. It is more important than you know.

Sending you love,

To be offended is an offense in itself. Let go of such feelings in favor of just loving what is. There is no need to be offended by the thoughtless acts of others. It’s just a waste of your energy. Instead focus on yourself, on your inner needs, on those of your body and your spirit in sync with each other. If you focus wholly on the body, you will miss the messages of spirit. And if you focus wholly on the spirit, you will miss the messages of the body. Find the perfect balance that allows you to attend to both body and spirit. Try to meditate a little bit each day, even if only for a few minutes, in whatever way feels natural to you. There are no set rules that need be followed about meditation. It is just a quieting of the body and the mind so that relaxation may happen, so that centering within may happen, and so that alignment of true self with true spirit may happen. When you do this, you will soon realize that being offended is a waste of your time and energy.

Sending you love,

Let yourself in on a little secret. Tell yourself that you are doing really well and that on this day you don’t need to be so hard on yourself. You don’t need to be so controlling. You don’t need to be so rigid. You don’t need to be so darned committed to that one thing that you just won’t let go of. Can you let it go for just one day and try something new? Can you give yourself permission to hear a little secret? You are not in control. You may think you are, but there is a far greater energy guiding and leading you to where you need to go. Can you reach out a hand and ask for help? Can you give over your heart a little bit more today to that great and wondrous journey that you are on? Can you just say, thank you, and let go?

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Each day, as you ascend from the depths of sleep and wake up to the light of a new day, you have the opportunity to try something new and different. It can be as simple as making a decision to eat something different for breakfast, to drive to work on a different route, to change some pattern that you are so married to that you think you can’t do without it. Try breaking away from one of those things you so rely on. Make today the beginning of something new. Break away from the needs of the old self and dare a new self to come forth as you declare a new way of doing things. Starting a new day in a new way is a time worn tradition, one that is well worth taking up!

Sending you love,
