Spiritual reading — Warm heart,  cold brain!

Spread the love

October 1

Today we want to speak to you about the mind. Your mind is so important. We want to focus on it today because it is very much a part of your daily existence. So much so that in most cases, you do not even notice its operation, its effect on your choices, your reactions, your actions.

There has been a lot already said on this subject—you are familiar with the dangers of allowing the [egoic, not-under-YOUR-control] mind to dictate your life. You knowthat fear and separation are the fuel which powers the mind. We don’t need to add to that literature.

Instead, we want you to try to connect your heart and mind.

*** Warm heart,  cold brain!

***

This is an old practice, and perhaps one you have already encountered. In any case, we want to tell you that this must occur if you are to function fully on your earthly plane. It is too easy to dismiss the mind, to wish to live outside of it or without it. In fact, we have in the past suggested that you focus on the wisdom of your heart.

What we are saying today is in no way contradictory of that, but comprises the next step. When you feel that you know how to really be in touch with the wisdom of your heart, it is time to integrate the workings of the mind.

The first step is to open your heart to your mind. Sounds a bit odd, but it is a good practice. The mind is your most fallible asset. It is your mind which fears, which judges, which tries to control. It is your mind (or your ego[ic mind, an Eckhart Tolle term I prefer], if you prefer) which throws up obstacles to freedom and joy.

You must begin to forgive your mind, to be gentle with it, to love it before you can live in peace with it. So today, try to notice your mind’s activity, and when you see it acting in unworthy ways, open your heart and attempt to feel compassion flowing from your heart into your mind.

 

***  Love yourself, warts and all!  Forgive and encourage — do not beat yourself up!

***

See what happens, see how that works for you.

Please be outside today if the weather allows. There will be a great deal of richness and beauty which are much needed in everyone’s life right now. The moon holds honey for your soul tonight, so get out and have a deep drink of it if you can.

We love you and send blessings.  — E. West

 

…..Nice feedback

A European comrade wrote:

I love this photo of your eyes.

What do I see ?. Actually my eyes were blinded;  they melted from the first moment we “met.”

And you feel outside the sphere of the mere human mind.

I observe the heaviness of people’s thoughts and the baggage they manage to collect that is outside of all reasonableness

They are stressed out, and fearful of the Truth.

It’s hard work to chisel away at yourself, this so many don’t care to do it or any self-improvement. They just drift.

But your work has served me well, page after page, and truth after truth.

A single question of mine leads to a thousand new answers.

And if I look in the mirror I see you, the same eyes and the same Lives.

This is our good fortune and a Miracle. [End]
