To be the master of our mind, we have to stay awake and aware of where the mind wants to take us. The mind loves intense highs and lows, and has a difficult if not impossible time tolerating peace. Our true divine nature wants to come back to and dwell in peace. The mind realizes this and will tell you having this or experiencing that will bring you peace and satisfaction. You may believe the mind, jump in the car with it, and experience the high of getting that thing or having that experience. What happens next is the mind becomes very bored with your satisfaction. It then convinces you that you need to go after more, after higher, after something else. Something else that will stimulate that high emotion, that rich feeling. One more ride! There will always be one more ride with the mind and until you decide to takes the keys away from it, you will be at it's mercy and never able to sustain peace, contentment, and satisfaction for any quantity of time. Why sustain peace? The vibration of peace is the key to an abundant and beautiful life. When you are at peace inside, this signals to life that you are vibrationally stable. When you are vibrationally/emotionally stable, life begins pulling you towards everything it has in store for you. Doors open. People come into your life. You are content, not looking, or wanting for more. You are just enjoying what is in front of you. When you are able to reach this point of mastering the mind, life bends over backwards to give and show you everything. A.J

Notice how many times during the day, you tell people "how you are." "That's just the kind of person I am. That's just how I am. I've always been that way. That's just how it is for me. I just can't help it." You may even be telling stories about how other people are. Speaking these statements is the same as saying change is impossible for me or that you don't want to change. You are saying, "this is how it is and how it always will be." Change is always possible when it comes to behaviors or life experiences, but we have to begin by refusing to tell the old stories that support the old ways. Listen to the stories you tell people. If you want those experiences to continue, then keep telling the story. Telling the story strengthens the mental program in you, and then gives it to another mind. Now there are two of you supporting this story as truth. This gives the story even more power. If the story is not something you enjoy experiencing over and over, stop telling it... immediately. Stories are created by the mind in order to form an identity of me, a number one clue that the ego mind is involved. We can easily find all of your faulty mental programs by listening to the words that come out of our mouths. Our words come from the thoughts we accept as truth. Our beliefs shape our world. Let go of all the stories and identities that do not serve you and keep you stuck in behaviors you do not like. If you are going to create an identity for yourself and others, at least make it a good one. A.J. Can what we believe about others, determine what we perceive? Can our beliefs cause us to only see others act and behave in ways that support our belief or our program about them? Absolutely. Our belief also shapes our own behaviors while with that person, which creates and action reaction, mind game relationship. The mind is always looking to point out or prove a current belief or program is correct. For example, if you believe a person can't be trusted, your belief or program will cause you to focus in on any behavior that proves and supports your current belief. Even when they do behave in trustworthy ways, the mind will explain it away and make an excuse for their improved behavior, such as, "well, they just did that because they knew I was watching and were afraid of getting caught." When you are with this person, you will also be putting off the " I can't trust you vibe". This will shape your behaviors and interactions with them. The mind will say, "watch them closely", "check up on them", "read their emails"...now the mind has you behaving in defensive, disrespectful ways out of fear. The person on the receiving end of this is also hearing the mind speak to them and will then begin behaving accordingly. The mind may convince them to become defensive and defiant. Now the mind has an excuse it can use to promote untrustworthy behavior. It may tell them "it doesn't matter what you do, they are never going to trust you anyway, might as well go ahead". The mind may also attack them and say, "see how untrustworthy you are?" "You will never change." The person may then just give up and do whatever the mind tells them to do. What happens though if you remove yourself from this action reaction game the mind has going? What happens when you refuse to support this faulty program? What happens when you decide to refuse to believe anything negative about a person, ever? If you can win this battle over the mind, you will free yourself from the game, thereby giving the other person an opportunity to break free from this faulty belief or program as well. You just created the space necessary for positive change and regained your own peace of mind. Win Win A.J. |
