Hello, Divine Ones,
We
greet you in love. Today, we are so happy and excited to talk with you
about your mindset, and today, we want to invite you to consider that
the real way you create your life and you engage light skillfully is by
creating the state, the conditions, the environment of your mind.
You
create your experience of your mind. Your mind has the capacity to be
and to express in many different ways. Think of your mind as the
combination of your brain and your eternal consciousness. It's the way
you know your experience, and the experience that you have depends on
how you create your mind or your mindset.
The reason it matters
to do this intentionally is that your mind can be something which gives
you pleasure or pain. You've all experienced this. You've all had those
nights when you wake up, and you're stressed about something, and your
mind makes you crazy. You tend to attribute your experience to your mind
less when you're feeling positive, but when you're feeling incredible,
that's because in your mind too, it's because of your capacity to
receive an experience based on your mindset, and all of this is within
your control.
Today, we want to talk about this because your mind
can be open and radiant or congested and depressing. Your mindset is
developing all the time and it's completely of your own making so you
can shape it any way you like. Creating a mind that is shiny and open
and available to high frequencies and discovering what it's like to live
with that is way to know who you really are.
What if the way you
think shaped your mind? What if, what you paid attention to shaped your
mind? What if what you invested your energy in became established in
your mind? What if what you stopped paying attention to just fell out of
your mind, was no longer active or present? Well, that is how it
works.
You create your mind, and your mind entirely shapes your
experience. There's two aspects to your mind that we want to speak
about. There's the autopilot part that happens without effort, and
there's the conscious, intentional part, and we want to give you an
example of how that might be beneficial for you and what you can do to
shape both parts of your mind in ways that elevate your life.
This
morning Ailia saw this ad on Facebook. It was for a retreat with the
Buddhist teacher Pema Chödrön, who she likes, so she watched the video,
and the video for the retreat had Pema telling a very simple story. This
is the story she told.
She was talking about how your viewpoint can change, and we're going to build on this, so let us tell you this short story.
You
wake up, and you're in bed, and you're inside a house, and it's
raining, and because you're inside the house, you hear the sound of the
rain on the roof. It's a very beautiful sound, and you've just woken up,
and you hear the rain, and it fills you with peace and joy.
Then she says, "Now, if you have an outdoor wedding plan for today, wouldn't your response be different?"
Yes,
and this is where what you've invested in matters. If you have an
outdoor wedding plan for today, and you wake up to the sound of rain,
you might be inclined to be upset or unhappy or angry, and as Pema
pointed out in the video, you discover how the way you think shapes the
way you feel.
We want to take this further. Of course, in this
example, your viewpoint relative to what you had planned for the day and
what you woke up to is part of what's going to be in play. This is
where it gets really interesting and has to do with your mindset because
if, if you're a person who has been practicing a mindset of ease and
cultivating thoughts that things go your way. If you've been building
positive ascending momentum, you might find that you enjoy the rain and
expect it to stop before the wedding, leaving the air clear and fresh
and everything sparkling and clean and beautiful.
See the
difference? If you've been feeling and thinking that life isn't going
your way, if you've got descending momentum going on, and you haven't
been cultivating the environment of your mind, you might very easily get
very angry, and also use this manifest experience as fuel to further
that unhappy pattern of thought by thinking, "Oh my gosh, here's yet
another thing that isn't working out for me."
Do you feel the
difference in the momentum that gets furthered by your response to this,
and do you see how your existing momentum might come into play
automatically or intentionally in every moment of your experience? Of
course, you do because you're smart.
You realize now that only
you can create this momentum in your life, and that you're doing it.
You're creating your mindset in the state of your mind day in, day out.
The state of your mind has to do with your frequency and how you're
focused in your state of alignment, and you can change this. You can
change it. You can change it at any time in any moment.
We've often
made the suggestion to interrupt things and to let go of what's going
on, to interrupt what's not feeling good, to reach for anything that
gives you a little relief. We go further with this right now by saying
any investment you make in a positive mindset benefits you.
Any
time in your day, you can tell yourself something nice, something
positive, something cheerful, something uplifting, something
unconditional, even. Every time you do this, you are fostering
beneficial ways of using your attention, and you're investing your focus
in ways that create your mind in open, spacious, elevated expression.
Your
mind can be a temple. Your mind can be a temple, a beautiful
light-filled space in which divine, high-frequency light flows in, and
when your mind functions like this, you feel nourished and held, loved,
supported, connected, resourced, abundant, free.
Your mind can be
this sanctuary of incredible steady empowerment. Your mind is capable
of that. Your mind can give you a feeling of safety and stability. Your
mind is capable of being created in a way that elevates and inspires you
consistently. It can be the source of you feeling fabulous moment after
moment after moment, and you can achieve that kind of state and that
experience by investing in our mindset in ways that feel good.
Your
mind can be your ally, but like all relationships, your mind thrives
when it's treated with respect. When you respect and understand the
power of your mind, you use it to create an environment that is
receptive and in accord, in harmony, in resonance with elevated
frequencies, and you do this by thinking elevated thoughts.
You
honor yourself and your mind by no longer giving into lower frequency
patterns of thought. Even though they might come up and even though they
might seem so easy and familiar, when they do come up, you refuse to
invest further in them, and when you notice they come up, you pivot. You
withdraw your attention from them. You turn, instead, toward something
that serves you a little more, something that really honors and respects
you, in your thinking.
This is wisdom, dear friends, and this is
loving yourself. This is honoring yourself and using what you've
remembered and your know-how to be the best version of you here that you
can be. This is taking excellent care of your mind because your mind
creates your experience, and the environment of your mind matters. You
can shape it for yourself in a way that's extremely beneficial, and it's
a tremendous gift to everyone else when you respect and honor yourself
in this way.
Of course, you're free to live in whatever way you
choose, but we feel certain that given your tendency to co-create with
us that you, too, are interested in being here as a conduit of clarity,
as a beacon of light and joy, as a presence of fulfillment and love and
coherence and clarity. We know that you want to have a wonderful life
and that you aspire to even better experiences.
Well, all of that
can happen. It's all possible. It's not even hard. It's not even hard
because no matter where you are and no matter how it's going, and no
matter how it's been going, or no matter what has already happened,
what's happening next is all about what's happening right now.
What
is happening right now in your mind, and how are you going to feed your
mind today? How are you going to relate to your mind today thinking
about and understanding what we're sharing here?
What kind of
momentum are you going to build? What are you going to create? Every
moment is a fresh start. Use it that way. Use it that way. Use your mind
to encourage and support you with positive thought. Understand that
you're free to choose whatever you want to think about and what you
invest your energy in.
When you say even the simplest elevating
things to yourself such as, "Hey, we're doing really great. Let's keep
going. Let's stay with it." That alone is so simple, and it makes your
life better, and it fosters a more positive mindset. It's really so
simple to live, enjoy, and create unconditionally. Light flows at your
command, but you have to do it. You have to embrace your freedom of
focus.
Now, you've learned this, you felt it, and today, we
invite you to realize your mind is of our own making, and when you not
only invest in thinking positive thoughts in the present, but realize
what you invest in creates patterns and habits that serves you, you make
life so much easier because this is how things change and improve in
big ways.
Imagine how far you can go when the thoughts you think
intentionally are positive and encouraging and hopeful and aligned with
what you want. AND the thoughts that happen on autopilot start to be the
new ones you're establishing and also building through positive
patterns of thought.
That is liberation, and that is living
skillfully and wisely and letting the way your beautiful mind works work
for you, allowing yourself to create a mindset that stabilizes your
life and serves your joy. If you've never considered this a priority
before, we invite you today to do so.
We are complete.
