The willingness to own back your power now, that it is the mind and the mind itself that is the cause of the illness. The willingness to give up the position of victim. The willingness to re-own one’s own power is part and parcel of the third thing that’s necessary for health, and that is one’s overall spiritual growth and development. It is the overall moving out of these negative energy patterns, the willingness to face truths within ourselves, and the moving into a positive energy field.

Thought for the Week – 1st August 2022 (2)
Too often, as potential change agents we focus on ourselves. We center on the outcome we’re looking for or the change we’re hoping to see. We’re so blinded by the belief that we’re right that we assume if we just provide more information, facts, or reasons, people will capitulate. But more often than not, things don’t budge. And by focusing so much on ourselves and what we want, we forget the most important part of change:
understanding our audience.

Unless you are in your knowing, you will be supposing. And if you are supposing, you are entrenching yourself in the data that you assume you must need to act upon.
As you go to knowing, it becomes like breathing. You know what you need to know, you know where you stand, you know what will make you happy, and the agreements are made.
But you are still so busy listening to the small self’s voice that you ignore the True Self that is as available to you.

The most significant contribution that prayer makes to our welfare is not the curing of any particular disease, but the realization that we are infinite, eternal, and one.
Thich Nhat Hanh
the importance of what you choose to emphasise
“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.
And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”
Howard Zinn
Are thoughts created outside of the mind or are they personal?
