Understanding the Mind (2)
You mind functions like a bedroom and to me the most important room in a house is where you sleep. Statements like 'As you make your bed, so you sleep on it' tells us the importance of keeping our sleeping area neat and clean. The mind is where the issues of life arises e.g. thoughts, love, peace, desires, self-control, motivation, faith, hope, etc. Please note that the most important things of life are those we do not see, and are connected to the mind.
Every action has its origin from the mind, and most often we are warned to take care of our thoughts because they become actions. Just like how neat or dirty your bedroom can affect your sleep pattern, whatever we allow to occupy our minds can either build us up or pull us down. 'This explains the reason behinds nightmares after engaging the mind in a scary movie'. Positive thoughts are refreshing and helps nurture the mind while Negative thoughts trails and hunts the originator. Having negative thoughts is similar to allowing a wild animal into your bedroom, which eventually won't let you sleep and may end up destroying you or your properties. Daily and most often we have a huge task in checking and filtering what we allow as thoughts.
Thoughts do build up, and whenever we continue in a line of thought we are simply adding energy to it. Just like heavy or dark clouds builds up for a rain, so do continuous thoughts build up. The duty also lies on us to diffuse such thoughts if they are negative.
Some people snap out or rebuke immediately each time the recognize a pattern of negative thoughts. In short, the first step to becoming a Child of light is by constantly check your thoughts and make sure they align with that of your Heavenly Father. We are what we think, and the mind and thoughts are powerful tools for transformation. Have a lovely day and remain blessed.
Your thinking also reflects your personality. A person who stay positive and think positive in hard situations not only have a a stamina of patience but it is good for their health.
Yes well done
Great words from you, we must protect our minds by the right learning
But without forgetting the heart, the source of values and humanity for our balance
Great work .. well done
Human mind is so complex but one thing a person should do is to align his mind to the will of His Creator!
Great Post @bestgift, no wonder when a fellow is acting all crazy, you hear folks say he/she is loosing his/her mind.
This shows how important the mind is.
If you want to mess up a man, mess up his mind.
@elizahfhaye, the mind is indeed complex. But don't you think the mind still needs to be sound to properly align to the will of the Creator?
@bestgift, thanks for sharing this wonderful post
Absolutely right. its all about the mind peace. if your mind is at peace then all of your work will be done so easily and you will interest in it. i liked how you have given a thought about this issue. it was nice reading your post.
Nice post
Yes.. Agreed. We are all like a memory card which can only play or give what information put inside it. When we were born, we were empty but was infused with information that has made us who we are today. If we got a virus in our memory card, it affects its performance and the memory card needs formatting... We need to format ourselves of some negative (virus) information imbeded inside of us in the course if our growing. This is how we can be better.
GREAT POST INFORMATIONAL BECAUSE THE MIND IT IS A GREAT MISTERY, IT IS NOT EASY TO UNDERSTAND, GOOD LUCK.
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!
This is lovely. Thank you for sharing. The mind is magick, a channel of guides for the human. When we have learned to balance our humansitc thoughts we clear the path to activate our chakra alignment and heal the brain and body. Thoughts are powerful, energy in motion. And, what we continually think reflects that of the outside world. Want to be better in life? Think better and you will do better. We co-create the life we want for ourselves. It all starts within.
