“When you discover who you are, only then will you be free.” ~ African Proverb
By living in this world of doubleness I have come to accept the adage that “The content of a person’s mind is the source of his or her bondage or liberation.” Their character or behavior is molded by the substances they intake from outside of themselves (families, friends, education, media (visual and printed), religion and government), just to mention a few. It is through these sources that their walk in this life is fashioned. This learned knowledge becomes the basis of their confidence or their failure and provides them with the consciousness they house for themselves, their limits and their possibilities. What is this knowledge you may ask…? Dual mindedness…. which as we know keeps us unstable in all our ways… living a Good and Bad…. existence. Yes! We exist displaying them both.
I lived in this dualistic society for many years and will admit that I was very unstable. I choose the behaviors I would follow, many of which I knew I shouldn’t have, but I did anyway and endured the agony and suffering they did bring to myself and others. I realized that this was not my intended nature. That there was a purer side to me, a better side that did not bring harm, hurt or pain to others or myself. I had to discover this path and strengthen myself in it, so that I could change the course that I chose to walk.
I began to search for the knowledge that would provide me with a purer understanding of myself and began reading sources such as the Bible, The Koran, and books such as “A Course In Miracles” and the wisdom shared was not new knowledge, for this knowledge I had heard before. I just failed to accept and live it, for I knew that there was nothing new under the sun.” I just surrender myself to worldly wisdom and gave more strength to it than to my Inner Greatness. I failed to accept the Essence of my true nature. My Supreme Source: These are the thoughts within me that I gave birth to and now share with you…
“In the midst of the mind is where the CREATOR placed HIS SPIRIT, and it is from this Source that You should live this life. Can you not see that Your Thoughts determine what it is You do, or what You have become? For….
If You say to Yourself You are possessed by the acts You commit, then demonized Your actions are.
If You focus on thoughts of sorrow, You rob Yourself of JOY’
If You see only tragic endings, then Self-Destruction becomes Your Only Ploy.
If You Doubt You will never reap.
I You live in Fear, then a step forward You will never take.
If You hold not to Kindness, Goodness, or Gentleness, then friends in life You never make.
If You fail to maintain Self-Control, then disrespect to others, and self You will befriend.
But… if You say to Yourself, You are of LOVE, and from this SOURCE Your thoughts You take, then LOVE becomes Your Master, and thoughts of evil You will not partake….
In these thoughts resides Your FREEDOM, and if it is FREEDOM You truly seek, then strengthened Yourself in this THINKING and be rewarded with the JOY and PEACE…You Seek…..
It’s now time for the created that’s You and I, to RENEW OUR THINKING, and see ourselves for who we are, for we are truly SPIRITUAL BEINGS created without a flaw. This human frame is merely the shelter in which our CREATOR’S SPIRIT dwell. So, think not Yourself just human, and accept this basic fact; It’s not the man, but the SPIRIT of the CREATOR within the man, that must perform and act……
