As I was exploring my guidance related to building

and maintaining a positive mental attitude, I opened

one of my journals to the Meditation Guidance listed

below titled Reset Your Mind. Reviewing it again,

it made me long for a reset button that I could push

to restore the positive mental attitude that I often

carelessly neglect during living.

 

When the negative mind is dominated when the ego

takes charge, we need to stop, recognize 

the problem, and “prayitate” (my word creation

for affirmative prayer and meditation) to reach

spiritual tech support, and if necessary,

hit the reset button.

 

RESET YOUR MIND

Let us reset our minds for success and understand

that our negative – fear-laden thoughts – through

the Law of Attraction and Mind Action will be

reflected in our lives.

 

This is the process of cocreation and manifestation.

When we invest strong emotions in our negative

perspective, we speed the process, for what is

manifested with strong emotion, is surely attracted

when presented to the Universe.

 

To break this cycle, we must reflect on positive,

successful, fulfilling, and meaningful outcomes -

seeing these as possible and expected. When we

expect good with strong emotion, we will attract

and receive this good. This takes constant vigilance

in thought, action, and reflection. Reflect on the

negative past and the foibles of another time, and

the universe will return this past to us.

 

Remember, God, through the Law, wants

to manifest our strongly held desires and does

not analyze, judge, or critique. Remember

Jesus’ words –“Ask and You Shall Receive.”

 

So right now, we need to reframe every thought

into positive aspects – fully supported by strong

emotions, and we will begin to reframe the reflection

of our minds, which is “Reality," into a positive

force for success and abundance.

 

All of this is within our scope and our power,

as we recreate our lives.

CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY

 

Today let us claim responsibility for our

            lives - accepting that what we conceive

within our personal consciousness is

            reflected in the mirror of our existence –

knowing our thoughts and attitudes create

            our life experience.

 

Today let us claim responsibility for our

            thoughts – working to deflect the mental

chaos, the chaotic chatter, and the egos

            warnings – replacing them instead

with affirmative, positive, loving, and

           self-empowering thoughts and visions

until we imagine a world within, so appealing

            it takes root in our experience.  

 

Today let us claim responsibility for our

            words, our actions, and our day–to–day

interactions with others to ensure only

            positive, affirming, life-giving energy is

conveyed and shared with the world we

            create and reflect.

Although, for the most part, I believe our minds

mean well when they barrage us with the potential

consequences, often negative, of what has been

done or left undone. I understand that controlling 

our thoughts, our consciousness, is essential for

reaching a state of balance where we can fully

live our authentic lives.

 

I also understand that when I leave my mind

unattended,  I wake up as I did this morning 

with the list of potential life issues churning 

in an endless loop in my mind.  I always hope 

I will outgrow the need for mind control,

but I never seem to. So below, here is the

note I wrote as a reminder of where my 

mind needs to be focused.

    

RECLAIMING OUR THOUGHTS 

Today let us address and work to resolve

those issues in our lives that cause us

concern, worry, or at times fear –

clearing away any real or imagined

negative consequences, and by doing

so, removing these voices in our minds.

 

Today let us address the litany of dire

thoughts given center stage in our minds –

that create confusion and steal our joy –

impede our happiness – upset our peace

and leave us exhausted as we focus on

what might be, or could be, at some

dreaded future time.

 

Today let us step out of the future with

its potential calamities, or the past

with its critique of our missteps, and

into this now, today, our clean slate, our

fresh start, where life exists, God exists,

hope exists, taking constructive action

to reclaim our thoughts through affirmative

thought, action, and belief.

IN TRANSITION - AFFIRMATIVE THOUGHT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

Having watched too much college and professional

basketball,  I was fascinated and focused this

year on the phrase  - "in transition" - used by

the coaches and commentators to describe

the process of traveling full court to shift

from defense to offense, or vice versa, where 

the team has to move to their own or the

opposing team's basket.  Much of the game, 

and many of the exciting fast break plays 

originate in this place of transition.

 

In reality, many of us may exist in our own

professional,  personal, and/or spiritual lives

"in transition," where what worked in the past 

may now seem somewhat dull and lack-luster,

leaving us to wake each morning wishing we

could alter in some way this life we now lead, 

even if we are not quite sure how. It is often 

challenging to approach these days with

enthusiasm and a sense of purpose.  

 

Finding myself at such a crossroads, I find

that this note below offers a piece of very 

sound advice - "stay on purpose," especially

when in a time of transition. 

 

IN TRANSITION 

Today stay on purpose, refusing

to be knocked off course by doubt,

self-questioning, or confusion –

reaching within instead to reconnect

with your inner values and sense

of mission.

 

Today stay on purpose, even if you

wonder whether this is the right

course, realizing that only through

right action will you be able to

discover the viable alternative

or the shift needed to find your

realignment going forward.

 

Today stay on purpose, knowing

within the contrast or friction

a spark of creative genius may

erupt and ignite your imagination,

lighting the way to a fuller perspective

where passion and enthusiasm

can once again take center stage.

 PATIENT PROGRESS

 

Our best effort comes through patient progress,

calm and sincere activity directed at the goal

but not dependent on a schedule or fixed

expectation, knowing this unfolding is a state

of continuous awareness, reflection, and inner

growth, a consciousness forming and reaffirming

with each step forward.

 

Often, we fixate on the merits of the immediate,

the do it now; over and done with; complete;

finished; final; ready-aim-fire, hoping this speed,

this instantaneous result will ensure success.

But what is the operating cost of the rushed

as opposed to the relaxed, the contemplative,

the quietly allowed to evolve?

 

This move to patient progress will require a fresh

paradigm of achievement, success, and winning:

a realization that full accomplishment needs

complete immersion in the doing, allowing God

and truth to provide the guidance, insight, and

inspiration – to reveal a more complete and

worthy outcome.

The most difficult concept for people who encounter

New Thought for the first time to comprehend and

accept is their own innate ability to create their own lives.

 

Many of us believe that our lives are being created

by forces outside of our control and that these forces

are far stronger than we are – socio-economic class,

financial position, cultural background, family connections,

inherited talents and abilities, God, Karma, or just plan luck.  

 

And, I guess, when you think of the Law of Attraction or

Mind Action as it is called by those who participate in the

Unity Movement, being responsible for the results of our

own efforts is not always the most comforting notion.

 

But in my Meditation Notes, like the one listed below,

titled The Power To Create, I am constantly reminded

that I have, power to create into form or experience

what I hold in thought.

 

THE POWER TO CREATE

You have the power to create into form or experience

any thought, dream, desire, emotion or vision. You have

the innate capacity for cocreation through God and the

Law of Attraction/Mind Action or any label you wish

to give it.

 

For God has given each man the capacity to create and

become what is held in thought. Clarity of thought is

essential for the development of the life you wish

to manifest.

 

Negative thoughts will also attract negative outcomes

so you must not focus on the reasons why your dreams

cannot be brought to life.

 

The Power to Create is on-going, always working,

and never stops. Practice focusing and training your

mind to create a need, desire, or want. Watch how

the world will deliver this wish. Focus your mind

on the desired result you wish to manifest and

prove the action.

 

This is the reason you must constantly inventory your

thoughts to ensure you are thinking positive affirmative 

thoughts. If not change the direction by clearing your

mind and focusing your breath until your mind is clear.

Then start again working to reset your thoughts and clear

the slate.

NOE G. 5.18.2010

 

Test the power you have to create by focusing on one

unlikely positive wish and seeing if it manifests into

your reality.

It will!

 TABULA RASA

Today, let us realize the importance

of a clean slate, a fresh start – refusing

to carry into a new day the well-worn

fears, doubts, or worries – focusing

fully instead of the wonder of this

unfolding now – vital, pure, and

limitless.

 

Let us, on our tabula rasa, reflect

and project only the magic of the

moment, the lively desires and

descriptors of a robust effort,

engaged in being and becoming.

 

As we do, we vow to allow no negative

word,  thought, or sentiment to stick on

or smudge our slate’s pristine purity,

shielding it from slight or innuendo,

fixing our attention instead on feats

of strength, worthy efforts, and noble

pursuits – the manifestation of heaven

on earth, now.

Since early 2008, the Hollow Mind has been one

of my favorite meditation notes. To be mindful

and live in the Now, we need to clear out the noise

generated by our minds and focus on breathing.

 

As we all know, this is easier said than done.

But when we can accomplish this for ten minutes 

or for ten hours, we become a witness to life and

we take a giant step toward connecting with our

spiritual centers. 

 

This week I am making a special effort to return

to the Hollow Mind.

 

HOLLOW MIND 

The hollow mind contains the spiritual universe.

Clear out the thought – the mantra of a disturbing

reality – clear out the fear of a morbid past or

a perceived consequence of the future.

 

Clear the mind, and you clear the Soul. Attain the hollow

mind – open – expansive – a blank slate of humanity –

for here is the gateway to infinity – all knowing –

the Divine nature within.

 

Clear out the noise, the chirp of the forgotten child,

the fear of past cruel masters – clear out the debris

of physical want and make your mind hollow.

Focus on your breathing to turn off the constant

verbal barrage of the ego and the world indoctrination.

 

Clear out the noise – make the mind hollow.

And in the hollow mind meet the universe

of all connection – the portal to all enlightenment.

Connect and reach for the vision of the heartlight –

pure – thoughtless – all-knowing connection

of spiritual love and kindness.

 

The hollow mind does not come easy.

The senses and the insane thoughts seem to fill

it with the debris of the past. You must work

to focus your attention on the Now that requires

no thoughts – no reasoning. Avoid the false logic

of the ego, which lives to move you from the path.

 

The hollow mind is an empty vessel with infinite

capacity to experience the fullness and rich texture

of life.

 

The hollow mind contains the infinite spiritual

universe and the connection to the Divinity in you

and beyond you. The presence of source, God,

all positive creation.

BUT THEN / THE FIRST STEP - A SPIRITUAL POEM ALONG WITH A NOTE FOR ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

 BUT THEN

 I wonder, God,

    how you stand for existing

        within my tired frame,

    worn and cracked

from too many taut days -

    ah, but then, I realize,

    this is all my illusion,

not yours.

POEM G. 8.14.2012

 

Sometimes this spiritual quest gets too complex,

and I am the first to forget the basics; that is,

being prepared to connect with God in the present,

through meditation, prayer, and contemplation.

 

It is within these meditative moments that we

master the skill of mind control, clearing away

the debris of our egos and our noisy lives, to meet

the true consciousness of God, always ready

and waiting in the now.

 

So when I came across this note featured below,

I decided to publish it as a gentle reminder, 

to all of us, of the basics.

 

THE FIRST STEP

The power to clear the consciousness is available

to everyone, simply by using the techniques and

approaches honed by thousands of years of earnest

effort, one errant thought at a time.

 

It is basic meditation practice with a focus on

the breath, returning to this breath when thoughts

surface – allowing us to lay the foundation,

training our minds so our awareness during

practice will determine the flow and focus

of our attention.

 

For some, this may be the first experience with mind

control – allowing thoughts to surface, but upon

review, choosing to withdraw attention, returning

instead to the breath and our meditative focus,

thus laying the groundwork for a breath-focused

mindfulness, available during meditative practice,

or anytime we choose mindfulness as our criterion

for awareness.

All spiritual journeys must be based on mind control

 in order to be effective. Buddha knew this, Jesus knew

this, the Sufi mystics knew this, the Christian saints

knew this, and we must each learn it in our own way. 

 

This is the reason that I have dedicated over a hundred

pages of Part Three of the Finding God On The Trian Story

titled Mind Control - Control Of Consciousness on the

techniques needed for successful mind control.    

 

It took me a lifetime to come to this conclusion, finally

expending a good portion of my spiritual effort working 

on marshaling the confusion within my own mind into

a workable coherent effort, so I can fully connect with God 

and my own internal divinity.

 

The garden of the mind must be tended in order to create

change in our lives, as the note below conveys.  

Through meditation, prayer, and ongoing reflection

we must find the thought root that has grown as a seed

in the concrete of our own consciousness, 

only to produce a tree that now threatens to crack 

our life foundation. 

 

If you are feeling that some change must be undertaken 

and the new seed planted, or that just some weeding

and pruning is called for, the Affirmative Thought 

below may help create the change you are seeking. 

 

WORKING FROM WITHIN 

All change happens in our minds and

    thoughts first – where we must tend

to the seed we planted that grew into

    the circumstance we now encounter –

the life we now live – the emotions

    we now feel.

 

All successful change occurs as we

    clear away the weeds in our mental

garden, prune, or redirect the existing

    thoughts, or when required, tenderly

cut back what exists to clear the way

    for a new approach or perspective

to take root.

 

All lasting change is worked from within

    as we learn to adroitly navigate our

consciousness – pruning and planting

    as needed, lovingly tending the blooms

of authentic purposeful life – forever

    admiring our garden within.

STEP BACK THEN FORWARD

Today let us step back and take a moment

to gain perspective on all those aspects of

our lives that create concern, appearing to be

working less than hoped for or expected -

to see them fresh and fully once more,

allowing each to be what it is without

stress, anxiety, or confusion.

 

As we step back, let us release our

preconceived notions of what should be

happening or occurring, and consider,

instead of how we might incorporate this

less than suitable situation into our

lives now – working the unworkable

into a new, fresh approach.

 

Let us, in turn, step forward today

with this fresh approach, willing to live

with and through these less than perfect

moments, allowing each to evolve and

find its proper place as we grow stronger

from the challenge – wiser from this

unwelcome inconvenience.

PATIENCE

Possessing the patience to let life develop, evolve,

and form itself into meaningful action is an art

and a Divine blessing – for rushing a dream, yet

formed, creates confusion rather than clarity.

 

Patience to let life find its most positive path –

to explore the potential possibilities – to test

the varied waters – to try on each eventuality;

and when complete, return with the optimal

solution, knowing only the greater good can

spring from its becoming.

 

Patience to let life surprise you, mystify you,

with its unthought-of opportunities, coincidences,

synchronicities, and sheer genius, when it has

had time to make its connections pull in

its favors, open the locked doors, preparing

you for what you have always deserved –

heaven on earth.

incantation (noun) – the chanting or uttering

of words purporting to have magical power.

2. the formula employed; a spell or charm.

3. magical ceremonies. 4. magic; sorcery;

5. repeated wordiness used to conceal

a lack of content.

 

At times, I need to be reminded of my self-defeating

ruminations, or as expressed in the Affirmative

Thought below, "incantations of hopelessness,"

a sort of mental, negative, phlegm that,

in unguarded reflection, I mull over, the shards

of past moments, usually well-worn reminders

of darker times, failures, foibles, guilt, even shame,

or just the should of, could of, would of reflections

of missed or mishandled opportunities.

    Do I know better than to fall prey to this sort

of hopeless reflection? Yes, I do, yet I still

need to be diligent to either disrupt, dispute,

distract, or release and move on.

    Whatever technique we use to interrupt these

incantations of hopelessness, we must make

a concerted effort to work on recognizing our

personal, self-defeating memes, taking action

to weed and release each in turn.

    Today, let us stay diligent, replacing this

negative phlegm with clarity, hope, and

positivity.

 

RELEASE AND REFRESH 

Release today whatever is no longer worthy

or of pertinent value, that fails to support

your cause or case, knowing that as 

the released is let go, a space, a void appears

requiring gentle filling, a re-envisioning,

a pouring into, a completion.

 

Release all that is worn, threadbare, what has

been used, wrung out; the shards of a past

moment, now unbecoming or out of step with

a more abundant vision of a fuller imagining,

a flourishing existence of a magnificence

now erupting.

 

Release the words and ideas that hold you

in place, stiff, incapable of great actions,

of worthy utterance, the thoughts 

of limitations, lack, or critical appraisal –

clearing these lies, falsehoods, and

incantations of hopelessness, replacing

instead with gems of hope, capability,

of soaring potential in full bloom.
