Lesson

Allow Me an attempt to explain a little on mind, as this is a very complex subject. Mind is the arena in which choices are made. Mind accomplishes many things and mind is where the true action of intent occurs. One could say that mind resides everywhere, and has the capacity to join other minds, which do not even have to be ‘of like mind’. Mind is connected to the function of intuition and associated with the sensitivity of the individual. Mind is where the intent is held, and thoughts become focused, which in turn can ripen into ideas followed by actions. So you can see that a lot can go on in mind, depending on the quickness and intelligence of the mind, depending on the inclination of the individual.

Although the mind can be greatly helped along through education, the basic, uneducated mind can become very wise, because the mind grows through experiences, flourishes through love and selflessness, and thereby gains an understanding of others -- not just a mental understanding, but a spiritual, heartfelt understanding. A highly educated mind can still be mean-spirited, which in the higher realms would be considered a misuse of the mind. Mind is a precious possession and, ideally, ought to be guarded against negativity, pessimism, fanaticism, fundamentalism and more, as these close off a part of the mind, which obstructs the growth process of the soul. The mind, together with heart and soul, go ‘hand in glove’, so to speak, for indeed there needs to be a fit that feels comfortable and at ease.

Likewise, a heart devoid of love, and unconcerned about the rights of others, also obstructs its own growth in fulfilling its divine blueprint given to it by birth. Too little attention is given to this, which can present a problem with free-will creatures. Many minds become muddled by destructive habits, behaviors and addictions of many kinds which is a subject on its own. One of the most mind crippling addictions is that of religious fanaticism and fundamentalism. It is a putting on of blinders, and of becoming very narrow minded, and restricted indeed in the outlook on life. When the mind is crippled, the spirit within is crippled, and bound by judgments about the belief systems of others.

The Infinite God, the All Mind, sees all, knows all, and accepts all. Hell and damnation are figments of man’s imagination. They were created right here on earth and have caused no end of misery to its inhabitants, who have become so fear-filled that they have lost, or stand to lose, the ability to listen to the Guiding Voice Within. Their sure Pilot Light stands in danger of vanishing due to lack of trust and faith, and due to increasing darkness of the human mind put there by thoughtlessness and selfishness. Open the windows of your mind and clear all negativity. Allow God’s Love to shine through and strengthen your very connection to the All Mind.
