Thinking as an impediment...
Saturday, August 15, 2020
‘Thinking' can get in the way of allowing for the Transcendent to come through. Oh, how we yearn to get a problem or situation all sorted out, to put a bow around it figuratively speaking, and place it on the shelf of our memory closet — neat, complete, finished, done— all wrapped up and not having to be dealt with any more.
Our ‘thinking' can chase us ‘round in a circle,' only to come back to ‘square one’ again. It can haunt us and taunt us. We can chew over an issue for a long time and get no clear understanding of what is really going on. We yearn for the problem to be over and done with, but it can return to bother us, again and again. Like that proverbial ‘monkey on our back,’ it won’t let go.
‘Thinking,' intellectual prowess, is held up in your culture with high regard. It is elevated as of the highest value and those who possess this are greatly rewarded. There are ‘think tanks,’ hiring these super thinkers, set up for problem-solving of all kinds. However, many of the greatest contributors and most creative people throughout the ages — artists, musicians, mathematicians, and on and on—the geniuses, speak of what comes forth as not coming from their own thinking, but coming from another place, another dimension, without them having anything to do with it themselves but to be open it, to receive it. Transcendence does comes through to those who open to it and get out of the way.
As spiritual beings we have come to know that the thinking process itself has come forth from the separated mindset. It has evolved, loaded with all the defensive mechanisms of the ego incorporated within it. What I want to tell you is that there is another way to use your mind, dear one, the way your Creator intended for you to use it.
You see, you are an extension of, at One with, your Maker, there. Your Maker has left none of His Meaning from His expression, His manifestation, All That Is —You, there. This meaning is the energetic flow of living love that is the very substance of creation. This living love is powerful in its ability to heal and make all things right, its renewal, redemptive, and its transformational function. This living love, as you open to it will be felt as a ‘knowing’ of what to do and how to proceed there. Now I am here in the sanctuary of your mind, ready to guide you lovingly forward with this living love leading the way. Let ‘ thinking' go, dear one, come into your peace, and ask Me in. View your mind as a transmitter/receiver there, not self generating anything but a request to have the Transcendent lead the way. Open to hear, dear one, open to hear what comes forth from your Maker. "Not my will, Lord, but Thy will be done.”
This does not mean that your mind cannot be adroit, agile, wisdom-filled, and creative. It will be all of these things, but you will not be responsible for self-generating them. God will be, for He is your Source there, always. The perfect answers and perfect outcome will come forth for you. Now this is a boon and blessing, dear one, and releases you from the miasma of the thinking mindset, a faulty and error-filled use of mind. Rejoice and practice coming out from the ‘joined mindset’ from our relationship, always. Let go of ‘ thinking' and come into ‘ knowing.' How wonderful for you to know this and to move forward in your truth! I love you dearly, join with Me within, and know that you are never alone!
