In the scenery of my mind

Where my mind goes... that is what I become... this is what I am

The sun is a suitable image for positive thinking.

The visualization described below uses a sunlit landscape as a comparison for the four levels of thoughts we create: positive, necessary, waste and negative. It can be used to increase your percentage of positive thoughts everyday.

Through these levels the soul has the opportunity to create its internal experiences and finally its external behaviour, its action.

Visualize a beautiful valley with a lake, forested foothills and high mountains rising up into the clouds. This is the landscape of your mind.

Your position in this landscape and the form in which you are displayed depends on the quality of your thoughts.

Are you a fish swimming in the muddy depths of the lake (negative thoughts)?
Are you a frog jumping back and forth from the shore to the lake, wasting time (wasteful thoughts)?

Are you a human, wandering into the forest to gather food and build a shelter (necessary thoughts)? Or the sun, which sustains (nourishes) all life on earth (positive thoughts)?


Points to Reflect upon:

Which position and form do you prefer to have in the landscape of your mind?

What is it that prevents you reaching this position and whose choice is it?

Today, what is your internal plan of action for reaching this position and what kind of fuel is necessary for this journey? Where do you plan to find this fuel?

Bon Voyage!

Our subtle property

Time and thoughts are our subtle property. Let us not waste one single thought, not one single moment. Let us find a way to use our subtle property in a worthwhile way and success is bound to come.

The light of dawn always comes right after the deepest darkness

Situation
When things seem to go wrong or not exactly as we've planned, we feel that the situation colours us. Our enthusiasm dries up and we unconsciously start painting our thoughts with the colour of the situation; everything seems dark and gloomy and we see no light at the end of the tunnel…

}We keep recycling with perfect concentration all the negativity that even the best yogis & yoginis  would be jealous of :
Not even one luminous thought can enter our dark “meditation"... We would even be able to convince everyone in our meditation class that "it's impossible for me to concentrate… it's so difficult… it’s my nature…I’ve always been like this … it's in my genes…"  

Luckily concentration, along with other spiritual powers, is absolutely natural for all souls and we don't need to learn how to do it...

"Techniques" or "tricks" can take us only so far…   honest exploration and love for what I concentrate on are enough... 

Reflection... the real "digestive" for every day-life

Reflection is an exercise of the mind and intellect that goes into the depths of understanding an idea, or realization, or point of knowledge with the aim of practicing it in daily life.

Values… in action is a sign that knowledge has been… digested; without this, knowledge simply remains a beautiful aspect, appreciated, interesting information in my intellect but without the ability to give me strength because it is still external; it has not been internalised.

spiritual power: the ability of the soul to remain unaffected by negativity... the ability of the soul to be heard by itself when it claims inside : "…alright … now… remain peaceful…" ... we all comply with the powerful ones anyway…

All quality action (quality action is that action which is truly appropriate to person, circumstance and the need of the moment), all newness of perception (understanding), all new insights, or vision, require a space for silent reflection as a preliminary step.
Normally, the known thief , Mrs. Action Nonstopson, the administrative head of the "Ritual-Routine Life-time S.A", buys our valuable awareness for hay …

… boredom, routine, new expectations, dissatisfaction and... new promises …"no doubt my friend… after this project I will be peaceful"

A mind and intellect that do not give time and attention to reflective silence (meditation) become spiritually lazy…

spiritual laziness : No new heights are reached because there is no depth of awareness in what we are doing, no reflection on purpose. Externally there may be lots of activity and creativity for hours and hours, but the soul is incapable to stabilise and tune in to its inherent peace and happiness.

The soul cannot transform a thought into experience.

…as result… we get trapped by routine.

To daily break free from this force, to relieve the mind of the weight of stress and waste and routine, I need to step inside and reflect (think) on who I am and where I am going and reassess my value system, bring it into life into the moment...

"what am I..?" "what is my true nature ?" "what are my values…? if I have forgotten them and I'm fighting against life once again… le me remember these values by emerging them right now into my awareness…... peace... purity... love... happiness... wisdom...I'm a being of light... a living point of peace... I emanate goodness and benefit…I'm love…

I'm love in motion…..."

... few seconds every hour is enough to bring me back from forgetfulness... so that I can stop the wheel of routine and start the wheel of my real happiness… it's a choice
