For each of us our state of mind and our recognition of what is in our mind depend on what we believe about our mind. Whatever we believe about our mind, these beliefs are the premises that determine what we accept into our mind. We ultimately determine what we accept into our mind based on what we believe about ourselves. We are created by the Mind of God as an extension of the Mind of God. Thus we are Mind. The Mind is eternal and limitless, for it is real. Though we cannot change this reality about who we really are, we can choose to believe we are something else ˗ something separate from the Mind of God. We are still an extension of the Mind of God, but we have chosen to separate from the awareness of that knowledge and believe that separation to be real and true. So we have chosen to live out this “dream”, a separated existence for a time in a temporary body that becomes the learning tool for us to reawaken to the awareness of who we really are.
The premises we adhere to in our mind that support our so-called separation dream – a temporary existence – are premises we have chosen to believe about ourselves. These premises are mistaken, but we have chosen to believe them. As these premises are mistaken they can only lead to confusion at best. And confusion is what keeps us firmly ensconced in separation, blocking the awareness of who we really are, an extension of the Mind of God, our Source. We muddle around thinking with our lower thought system oblivious to the power and insight of our higher thought system which is at our disposal if we will just recognize it. We have so solidly aligned our mind with the belief in separation that we have blocked our own access to our higher thought system with nothing more than that belief. Even though we have aligned with a lower thought system, we do amazing things with our minds. We are still our higher Mind with a higher thought system using our gift of creation and extension in this world. We don’t always recognize what is working in us.
Joy is a state of mind that is God given and natural for us. It comes from the awareness of our Oneness with God and all Creation. It is inherent in our higher thought system; that of the Mind of God of which we are an extension. Pain is a state of mind that is associated with separation, the condition that comes from the belief that we are separate or alone and not who we really are. The world we think we see is colored by all the beliefs, values and judgments we have made with our lower separated mind that believes we are a separate identity. We are so attached to our belief in the idea that we are separate that we refuse to see beyond our mistaken perception and see what is really true. Fortunately, for our healing, the Holy Spirit will direct us, if we will allow It, only to avoid pain – the resulting perception of our belief that we are separate. As we move on our journey in this life of form believing we are separate, we may think we experience joy, but we have much to realize about the joy we experience from the awareness of our wholeness. We may have even dulled our perception of pain in the belief we are separate just to cope with the world as we perceive it.
Now is the time to begin to release our belief that we are separate. Allow your mind to entertain the possibility that you may have been mistaken and that you have been whole all along. The Holy Spirit will gently guide us in this shift. Spirit is always with us. Spirit guides us on a path we can handle. Every encounter, every experience, every situation is a learning experience for us to learn the truth about who we really are. Every relationship is an opportunity to heal our mind and raise our awareness to the Mind of God, our Mind. Believe this premise. Ask Spirit’s guidance in everything and learn to always extend Love in whatever situation in which we find ourselves. The pain of separation will transcend to the Joy of Oneness. Let it be so.
