Dividing posts into two sections is not going to work out as planned. I will revert back to single posts … starting Monday.

Thought itself … is quite neutral. What we think about and how we think about it … is completely another matter. And exactly *when* we have given a conceptual thought its own life … through focus and emotion … such thoughts from yesterday, last week, last month, last year, or last lifetime … can come about to bring situations and conditions into your life.
We bring about things by constantly thinking of them. Imagine then the harm
that one can do to themselves when he lets his mind go back over the past …
over an over again … moving into the things s/he dislikes. Life will go on
for them … multiplying and manifesting the same things again
and again and again in their life.
How often do we complain about something happening to us … about it happening *again* … what the heck is going on here !?!
LIFE is either directly trying to nudge you into viewing yourself a bit more deeply than you may have been doing … or … you may be balancing / resolving a karmic implication … or a combination of the two. I’m sure there could be other implications if the query were a bit more broad. These would be two very common undertones.
If the cause and effect of anything and everything we ever did was promoted and then balanced in a single day … the “Path” would be walked quite quickly. We would have instant feedback. It would be much more difficult to live from past life imbalances.
Understandably … there is so much top learn and so many levels or learning and understanding within all of this … it simply takes the many, many lifetimes to finally come to terms with it all. Yes … there *is* an “end point” to the game … but it’s not what most people believe.
All in all … our thoughts have brought us to where we are right now. You are most often the sum total of all you have ever been. You continue it for as long as it fulfills you … or … you continue it for a long as you refuse to confront it … and you eventually change it as you finally change your inner perceptions which will eventually be reflected outward … tomorrow … next year … or next lifetime. Everything is from the inside … out. All other entities are doing the same thing … all the way up to those lofty developed and learned Souls that assist in setting all of this in motion … or into Existence.
You … and only you … are responsible for your perceptions and belief system. Yes … we are constantly surrounded by tantalizing mental concepts and tidbits that draw us in one way or another. Still … your choice.
Free will has been stomped into the ground. Habit … rules.
How else are you going to learn the discipline and choices necessary to perceive beyond the traditional … into the more freeing principles of the Whole of LIFE … rather than the dissected parts of critical mental analysis … which is hypnotically alluring to the human state of consciousness. Many constantly seek like-minded conversation to support their personal belief that they are “right” … only to eventually find that to do so stretches the learning of necessary disciplines into lifetime after lifetime … seemingly endlessly.
More next Monday.
