I am so much happier trusting myself and the inspiration I receive in meditation than I am trying to make what I perceive as conventional wisdom work for me. I still vividly remember how angry and disappointed I was when my first marriage failed. I was angry because I thought I'd be happy having a good secure job, a good education and degree from a prestigous university, being faithful to my wife and living by the rules of society. I was miserable.

Trusting in the uplifting thoughts I receive in meditation has worked better for me than anything else I've ever tried. I'm sticking with it until something better comes along. I believe all that is good in my life, and there's alot, is the result of my meditation and willingness to accept and align with the truth as much as I can.

The next level of trust I feel I'm ready to accept is changing the thought that I need stress and pressure to motivate me to grow spiritually and make the most out of my life. I choose to let that thought go and replace it with the thought I am and always have been whole, complete and in posession of everything of value including love, joy, wisdom, health, energy, peace, compassion and all the other positive qualities that I've labeled as "devine qualities".

I know can change my thinking because I've done it successfully in the past. I prefer to think that I am increasingly aware and accepting of the fact that I am the world and have already created everything that could ever exist, including love, joy, peace, energy and all my other devine qualities.

I trust what I know.

Healthy people are lifelong learners. To me, learning means being ever more accepting and aligning with what is true. This has led me to change my thinking over time. I now believe my true essence is being an inseparable part of GOD. I undersand GOD to be the sum total of all that exists.

Recently, I've been inspired to repeat a mantra as a means of facilitating smoother more efficent growth. The mantra I received in meditation was, I am the world. This has me thinking more about how all I perceive could be understood to be part of me. For sure, this is a different way of thinking for me. I find when I repeat the mantra I am more anchored in the present moment, more conscious of the thoughts fighting for attention in my mind and a deeper peace; all good and valuable things in my eyes.

I love challenging my thinking. The more I think about the idea that "I am the world" the more intriguing I find it.

If you're so inspired, meditatie on what thought you would most benefit from repeating over and over in your mind. Try it out and see if it works for you.

To avoid creating stress mind body and spirit must be in alignment. Our spirit, our true essence, cannot change. Therefore, to be in alignment we must change our thinking and behavior to match our essence, our devine spirit.

There are many thoughts we have that are not in alignment with our spirit and are thererfore causeing stress and inhibiting our experience of the true magnifencence we are. One thought I'm working on healing now is the idea that time exists outside of myself. It doesn't . Time only exists to the extent I create it in my mind. That's why being present is so attractive. It is truth we can align with and end suffering with. The way to heal the habit of creating time in my mind is to be conscious of when I'm doing that and refocus on the present moment.

Our minds are immensly powerful. True freedom is gaining mastery over our mind. I can help with that with the thought coaching I offer. If you're interested in a free introductory session, contact me at scottfriedman40@gmail.com to set it up.
