Step 10: Knowing what can never save you permanently and what can
<< Step 9: Know your eternal history and ego ... Step 11: Knowing that there is no order of difficulty >>
Have you noticed how your situations keep repeating themselves until you
undergo a major breakthrough? For example, some people are always having
money problems. When they fix one, sometime later another crops up. Some
people have relationship problems. This is why:
All problems arise from believing in a false thought. Until it is changed, the
effects will keep coming back in different forms, because the universe follows
you. Nothing outside of you will save you permanently. Nothing at another
place and time will save you permanently. Nothing you do will save you. You
can only be saved from your problem permane ntly by changing within.
So how do you change within? Well, remember that the problem lies in the
mind, through the ego. It can therefore not be solved there. As long as you
resist it in your mind and struggle with it, you shall not escape it. You shall
only enforce the belief in your mind that it is real, and shall therefore maintain
it. You cannot save yourself from this lower level because that is where the
problem originates. But your Higher Mind can save you. You see, you have a
body, and a mind. Your mind is in two portions. You have a lower mind
which is more in touch with the physical temporal plane. This is the mind that
is split between ego and Reality. Then you have a Higher Mind, which is still
connected to Spirit and The Source of All That Is. This Higher Mind is where
your inspiration and clarity comes from. Your Higher Mind is in its original
condition, unharmed. But it can never interfere with your lower mind, because
you have free will. Only when you choose to let go, when you choose to stop
crowding your mind with noise and conflict, in letting go and silence, does
this higher wisdom stream in. you have to let go, welcome it, and allow it.
Any great artist or scientist will tell you that inspiration arrives when they
become still. Even Einstein, Michelangelo and Mozart and many others
testified to this. Be Still, ask your higher mind to show you the way, and you
shall be shown. It is You and can never deny your call. Only you can deny the
answer. When you let it guide you by not resisting Now and by being clear,
admitting you do not know, you start having amazing coincidences and
discoveries and your life starts working out.
The way out of all suffering is to cease all attacking thoughts because they just
get back to you. Angry people meet anger-causing situations and their effects,
judgmental people meet their own hurtful conflicts, and so on. You see, you
cannot possibly judge a thing as being ‘bad’ without reinforcing the idea in
your mind that such a thing is a reality. And because you do so, you become
capable of being harmed by it. If you give something meaning and power, you
lend yourself to it. The same goes for seeing something outside of you as a
solution to a problem. Because you believe that thing is a solution and that it
is outside of yourself, you reinforce the idea of lack in your mind, and that
immediately weakens you because the universe will follow suit. The people
who are complete within never go without on the outside, while those who
lack within go lacking without.
At this point it is important to mention goals. Never set a goal out of fear – its
results will be temporal and harmful. Set all goals out of love and certainty,
not fear and reaction. When you see things clearly, you start creating instead
of reacting. And when you set any goal, know that it shall come true because
the universe follows your truth. Be certain, have faith in the system. And
because the goal shall come true, for sure, it shall, without fail, intelligently
attract all the necessary resources and miracle s that will enable it to come true.
Your power, although you may not know it, extends across the entire universe
and is in collaboration with it. The universe is friendly to your goals because
your goals also enable another aspect of the universe to know itself. There are
no conflicts of will, although it may appear that way. If you have ever noticed,
nature seams to work such complicated outcomes using effortless ease! Look
at nature and be amazed! Your goals shall also work out on their own,
bringing in all the needed resources to you at the right time. Your only part to
play is that you do not interfere. Whatever and whoever is in your presence at
any moment is there to help you get where you choose to get to. Therefore, at
every moment, look around you and ask ‘what is this for in relation to all my
goals?’ and you will find an answer. Perhaps the place or person is there to
point out an error in thought that prevents you from getting where you wish to
get to. Or they are there to provide some information. Just listen, relax, accept,
and do not withhold anything and you shall see it work! Nature works itself
out effortlessly. Your resistance is the only thing that would slow it down and
give you pain.
