Page 1 of 3 Oh Mind, it is so easy to sink back into the mire of unawareness. The emotions and senses can make the world seem enticing, to then draw you out of the Loving state of awareness instantly if you are prone to desires or attachment. You must train yourself in the science of awareness. Not like a science of the physical world, but the spiritual science of cultivated discipline empowered by Love and honor. You must stay with me as much as your duty will allow. Tell me! what part of your day is spent in required concentration, and how much of your day is spent in worry or useless chatter or other activity. How much of your day is spent in mundane and useless thoughts. Gather up all of the time that does not belong to your daily duty and spend it with me. I will empower you to be courageous and confident. I will grant you wisdom. I can ensure your well being.
Oh Mind, listen very attentively. So often in the mundane thoughts of unawareness, you would be tempted to say, “I am sad”, but you are never sadness, You are never sad. This type of thinking is wrong and extends a lifetime of illusive suffering. Does silver lose its luster in a room without light? Does it become something different in the dark? If it could, it would never say.. “I am darkness.”, but rather... “There is darkness.” Equally, does a person become the night under a starless sky.
Oh Mind, why would you say “I am sad”, when only a darkness is being cast over you. It is not real to say anything other than, “I am... the Heart” always... on and on regardless of the circumstance. You use those other terms so loosely, blind to the real implication of their use. Without a second thought, you cast a net of deception over yourself and struggle overly and unnecessarily. Don't bring that which is false into your life.
Do not foster a way of thinking that keeps understanding and freedom away from you. To identify yourself with all these countless qualities will only see you lost as in a mirror maze... What is me?... Where is me?... Who is the real me? Never would you know where your truth shall lie. Consider also that you would never need to say... “I am thirsty, I am sad, I am tired” You never need to say... “I am lonely, I am confused or I am angry”. Without a doubt, there may be times when the body shall be thirsty or requires sleep. There may be times when feelings of sadness and loneliness are present. Confusion and anger can also dog you, but you are never any of these. You do not have to take on these qualities and proclaim that you are them by the use of ... “I am...” ( that quality).
Do you worry? Does this thinking bring forth any plans that re-establish and maintain a good life? Why be involved in repetitive thinking that goes nowhere; produces no change, and promotes anxiety? You shall dive into the depths of illusion and drown in that feeling. You will lose clarity; hope; and your precious and tender faith can be eroded. If you find you have immersed yourself in such ways, then hold your breath and glide back to the surface... to the true reality of expanded awareness. Breathe easy in the light.
“I am the Heart... I am the Heart... I am the Heart.”
This thinking has purpose and merit for you. Any other use of the phrase “I am...” becomes redundant when you truly absorb its meaning through its repetition and contemplation. If you do engage in worry, that thinking will only transport you to the days without understanding. If you engage in the ways that bring despair, and anxiety, then you have chosen to take on these qualities.
Without you saying any words, by your actions you have said... “I am sadness... I am despair... I am pain”, but because there is no awareness when sinking into such states, the illusions of life continue to be sustained. This only serves to make life falsely appear to be bitter; cruel; without sense. Your true child-like Love then becomes enshrouded, and your faith is cast aside.
Oh Mind, the maze would dissolve forever upon the permanent realization that to say “I am the Heart”, would be your highest Truth. Regardless of the situation, there is only one reflection worthy of identification that can truly be of service to you. There is only one train of thought that has any merit. Resign your residence from the world of illusion once and for all. Identify only with me.
“I am the Heart... I am the Heart... I am the Heart.”
The invalid expressions of consciousness only serve to keep you entangled in subtle illusions preventing you from crossing over the fine line into the living Truth.
For yourself, the use of “I am...” is only valid when it is completed by saying “the Heart.”
Are you feeling afraid?
“I am the Heart”
Are you feeling lost?
“I am the Heart”
Are you feeling weary?
“I am the Heart”
Are you feeling sad?
“I am the Heart”
This, and your duty is all you have to remember.
